Academy President John Bailey Faces Allegations of Sexual Harassment – Variety

John Bailey, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is under investigation for allegations of sexual harassment.

The Academy received three harassment claims on Wednesday and immediately opened a probe, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Bailey was elected president of the institution in August. If he were forced to step down, he would be temporarily replaced by Lois Burwell, a veteran makeup artist who is the Academy’s vice president, until the next election in July.
Bailey’s tenure has been marked by a historic shift in the Academy’s approach to misconduct by its members. In October, the Academy voted to expel Harvey Weinstein less than 10 days after the New York Times first reported on his history of sexual harassment. The Academy also replaced Casey Affleck, who settled two sexual harassment lawsuits in 2010, as the presenter of the best actress award at this year’s Oscars.

Ashes, ashes, Hollywood is falling down. Meanwhile, Matt Damon is moving to Australia to apparently get to the whitest place on the planet as far away from America as possible.

This, on the same day that the president of Nike is resigning amidst allegations, too.

so did streep, too close to harvey for too long, can't credibly pretend she didn't know

and meryl streep gave roman polasnki a very rousing standing O in 03

same with oprah

many, many others

the anti-creep crusade got so excited it ate its own, like franken

uncle al really made them look at themselves

the test case was glenn thrush at nyt who, if there is indeed a distinction between the avuncular happy-hand types like franken and uncle joe biden on the one side and egregiously gross serialists like spacey and lauer on the other, then thrush comes down on the far-side of the pig scale

his behavior was particularly gross, but he's a good reporter (by nyt standards) with his partner maggie haberman

nyt thus had to dispose on the thrush matter, the entire metoo movement tuned in for direction

and of course, nyt came down on the side of its star reporter

New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush to return after alleged sexual misconduct - Dec. 20, 2017

bacquet announced that thrush had behaved in ways "we don't condone" but "we have decided that he does not deserve to be fired"

the metoo's split

the majority (bolshevik) wing, led by streep, sees the metoo's as puritannical, they see franken as on this side of the scale and worthy of redemption, while matt lauer and charlie rose are way over there on the other

the minority (menshevik) thinks they all need to be castrated, or something

what they really are working so hard to accomplish is to try to create a scale whereby they can exonerate all those lovable franken types who are really harmless vs the truly evil anti-female abusers who deserve any rotten thing we can do to em, men like roy moore and trump

they failed, so kirsten gillebrand announced that bill clinton shoulda resigned

this is too far, mika and mrs mika (speaking for many) reacted to kirsten (and her puritan associates)... well, very strangely

they had to agree with gillebrand, trapped

but not happy about it

metoo hit journalism particularly hard

in addition to lauer and rose and thrush, dozens have gone down

npr was particularly hard hit, and david corn of motherjones

so many others

thanks for this thread

take care
