Travolta, say some sources.

How can they even do this, from a legal standpoint?

He always seemed like a sleazy dude. Not that surprised.

Because of his eyebrows?

Mostly his mannerisms. Can't say exactly what. I hated how he spoke and gestured. Never found him funny either.

 

Now Kevin Spacey I loved as an actor. Still do. Have a hard time with that one.

Not me, for sure. I had to marry the last one I kissed.

He just stepped forward and confirmed the allegations. He's taking responsibility for his actions. Doesn't change anything, but at least these women now can breath a little easier.

But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your (....) isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. 

I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.

I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it.

There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.

No one is making a claim at law, at least not in Louis CK's case. The claims are just publicly-stated versions of the things women tell each other behind closed doors, to warn each other to be aware and stay away. 

 

If I had been more vocal in college about the person who treated me poorly, I could have spared at least two women I know of from being subjected to similarly unacceptable activity. One of these women blamed me for not doing something at the time, and while I understood she was just lashing out (she eventually realized I wasn't to blame, it was the POS who made our lives hell), it stung. I wish I had felt empowered enough to say something at the time. "My" jerk still pops up in my life every time I go to reunion, and every time we cross paths it makes my blood boil that he was able to just go on with his life as if none of the women he treated poorly ever existed, while we just dealt with it in semi-silence. 

 

I have no cause of action against "my" jerk. But I can -- and do -- tell people what happened. I don't shout it from the rooftops but if asked, I will tell people who know us both. I am past caring what he thinks.

Somehow, society managed to twist sexual assault in a such a manner, that even victims turn against victims. If there was ever a case study on blaming victims, sexual harassment and/or assault is it.
