A-List Celebrity To Be Outed As A Sexual Predator (1 Viewer)

  • No TV in our bedroom.  Bedroom is for sexy time.  Assuming its not populated with little brats who won't sleep in their rooms.
  • Just checked, Today Show is on at 7am here.  I'm usually gone by 7.
  • If there is a TV on in the house when I leave, it's some sort of kids' program.
  • It literally takes me all of 10 minutes to exit the shower to leave the front door.  What are you doing getting ready?  Matching ties with socks?  Curling your hair?  
Of course...Metro-Guys

 
It comes on at 7:00 a.m.  Plenty of time to watch while getting the morning coffee and getting dressed for work.
You don't take your morning coffee to go?  I find these morning loitering around habits unusual.  I wake, crap, shower, dress, put coffee in my to-go cup, grab leftover food for lunch if I haven't taken it for the week and I'm out the door and off for work before 7 most mornings.  

Maybe west coast people are different.  I'm done by 2 almost every day.  Much better than lounging around watching morning variety shows.

 
You would think there are tons of incidents involving female reporters in locker rooms. 
How soon we forget Zeke Mowatt et al.

 

On September 17, 1990, Olson was interviewing players in the Patriots locker room on a practice day. Two Patriots had complained earlier to James Oldham, the team's director of media relations, and to Pat Sullivan, the team's general manager, that they believed Olson was, in the players' words, "a looker," someone who stood around the locker room not interviewing anyone.[6] Sullivan observed Olson and determined that she was acting professionally, interviewing Maurice Hurst, but took no other action.[6] Several of the players subsequently taunted her by walking naked in her presence, making vulgar comments and gestures.[4] One player, Zeke Mowatt, "fondled his genitals" in front of her.[4] Robert Perryman did the same while her back was turned. Others, including Michael Timpson, made jokes and egged each other on.[6]

After Olson complained, describing the experience as a "mind rape",[4] team owner Victor Kiam allegedly described her as a "classic #####." (He later apologized in a newspaper ad, while denying using crude language. Later he admitted to calling her a "classy #####.")[5] Later, on February 4, 1991, at a male-only sports banquet in Stamford, Connecticut, Kiam told the attendees a crude joke about the incident. Referring to the United States military's use of Patriot missiles during the then-ongoing Gulf War, Kiam said to the audience: "What do the Iraqis have in common with Lisa Olson? They've both seen Patriot missiles up close." After criticism, Kiam apologized for the joke two days after he had told it
Jesus, Victor...

It's 10 minutes from my door to the office.  No need to rush when you don't have an hour commute.

 
The radio personality later told the Star Tribune that he was not, in general, physically demonstrative, and that the incident that led to his firing involved touching a woman's bare skin. "I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches," he said. "She recoiled. I apologized."
He's Champ Kind from Anchor Man - did he shout "Whammy" after he did it?

 
As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified.

On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.

Seriously - how the hell do people get away with this for so long?  I mean, I never thought I was naive before but I'm beginning to wonder if I've lived in a bubble my whole life and I'm just now being made aware of it.

Seems like pretty normal stuff.

 
Oh, Geraldo :lmao:  

Sad about @MLauer great guy, highly skilled & empathetic w guests & a real gentleman to my family & me. News is a flirty business & it seems like current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation. What about #GarrisonKeillor?

There’s no doubt Geraldo’s shown his penis to a co-worker - only question is if it was a male or female.

 
Spend enough time in the Fox News locker room, and you'll be convinced that guys like Matt Lauer are just practicing the time-honored tradition of courtship.

(Oh, and Garrison Keillor is a serial rapist.)

 
People who are thanking God that they retired BEFORE all this started going down:

embedded in one of the stories about Lauer is the tidbit that the media found this out in the course of investigating an even bigger fish.

Surprised these allegations haven't really hit the sports world yet.
MSG paid $32 million to settle a sexual harassment claim against Isaiah Thomas when he was GM of the Knicks. Then they hired him again.

Former Mets GM Steve Phillips was fired and they paid out a settlement for harassment related to his affair with a secretary.

See, the sports world is actually progressive in dealing with these.

Variety apparently has had the Lauer story for two months. NBC only learned of it Monday night.

So I have to wonder, who is the bigger fish?
From what I've seen, NBC "knew" about it. The just didn't care to do anything about it until their hand was forced Monday.

 
I know there have been athletes involved in harassment suits in the past. I meant like a wave sweeping up a bunch of players at once in this current environment. It'll hit eventually.
