I know.
We disagree on Woody Allen as I see no pattern and so I presume his innocence.
He did do a weird thing with Soon-Yi but they have lasted. I guess weird worked for both of them.
The list of famous folks with allegedly abusive patterns of behaviour includes Michael Jackson, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein.
I am happy they are in trouble. They seem to have earned it.
But there have also been many cases in which the abusee was chasing money or fame. Jim Carrey's case is the obvious example, in which the accuser faked his abuse to extort a payoff. If folks want to sort things out, they need to call out the fakers, too.
There are also the ridiculous accusations for nothing like the ones against Garrison Keiler and Al Franken.
