Sexual Harassment

WILL THE REAL ELLEN DEGENERES PLEASE STAND UP!

We were as surprised as you are to hear about the “toxicity” on the set of the Ellen Degeneres show. But we were even MORE surprised to note that TMZ has never written a negative word about the Ellen or her show, despite the fact that they MUST have seen this coming! BuzzFeed totally eclipsed TMZ with this scoop and we can tell you why. TMZ and Ellen are both Warner Bros shows, so apparently TMZ was “discouraged” from writing negative info about Ellen. It’s the same kind of intimidation that makes employees afraid to report their bosses, and women afraid to accuse powerful men of crimes. Insiders say powerful Ellen is NOT the nice person she appears to be on TV. We applaud Brad Garrett for being the ONLY celebrity courageous enough to speak the truth about Ellen – of course he’s now blackballed from her show!

BULL STAR MICHAEL WEATHERLY MUST BE FIRED!

The investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against disgraced CBS CEO Les Moonves revealed, among other things, a 9.5 million dollar settlement that CBS paid to Bull star Eliza Dushku after she charged her costar Michael Weatherly with sexual harassment and was fired for doing so. Maintaining the sinister male culture at CBS, Moonves chose to protect his good friend Weatherly, with whom he had a lot in common. There were no doubts about guilt – Weatherly‘s behavior was all ON TAPE. The New York Times broke the story and Weatherly played down his behavior as “bad jokes.” Eliza bravely revealed the revolting TRUTH in lurid detail to the Boston Globe. There’s no doubt, Michael Weatherly should be fired and Bull’s showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron should pack his bags too, for nurturing Weatherly’s noxious behavior. Another thing- it is SO ridiculous when co-workers vouch for men accused of bad behavior because the accused didn’t harass or intimidate THEM. Most likely they are not his type, or maybe they just want to keep their jobs!

RUSSELL CROWE HAS A GOOD EXCUSE FOR LOOKING SO BAD

No WONDER Russell Crowe has been looking so bloated and awful for the past year – he’s been fattening up to play a monster! Specifically, Roger Ailes in a series for Showtime. Ailes was the predatory boss at successful Fox News for 20 years who forced female employees to wear skirts and heels every day. Dozens of women accused him of sexual harassment and huge quantities of hush money changed hands to maintain the misogynistic culture at Fox. The brave women who finally took him on were considerably better looking than Ailes.

STEVEN SEAGAL IS PROUD OF HIS SUCCESS WITH WOMEN

It appears that Steven Seagal’s love of guns is only exceeded by his contempt for women. In all our years of documenting Hollywood behavior, we never heard ONE positive comment about the ponytailed actor. Seagal, 65, was actually sued by a number of women back in 2010 for rape, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking. Several of them said they were hired to be his assistant and he expected them to be his sex toys. He smugly denied everything. Female studio employees and his own employees apparently were bullied by his lawyer Marty Singer or paid off and dropped their suits. And they weren’t even actresses! Since Portia de Rossi and Jenny McCarthy came forward, more actresses have accused him of rape and assault. This is a man who will never say he’s sorry, much less admit he did anything wrong.

BARBRA STREISAND: MAYBE THOSE HARVEY WEINSTEIN TYPES WERE AFRAID OF YOU

We found Barbra Streisand’s comments about #MeToo to be brutally honest. Barbra admitted she has never been sexually harassed during her career and chalked it up to the fact that she “wasn’t like those pretty girls with nice little noses.” We happen to think it had nothing to do with looks – actually Barbra was TOO POWERFUL to be taken advantage of. She was already a Broadway darling when she STARRED in her first movie (Funny Girl) and from then on she was such a big star that her leading men were secondary to her. It’s highly probable that Barbra did some heavy flirting with her hand-picked leading men – and it wouldn’t be easy for them to turn her down. Barbra had big crushes on her costars Robert Redford, Nick Nolte (before his Malibu-pajama phase) and Ryan O’Neal. (We saw her sitting on Ryan’s lap and coyly giggling at The Candy Store during filming.)

WE WON’T HAVE TO “GUESS,” KATE UPTON SAYS MORE HARASSMENT DETAILS ARE ON THEIR WAY!

Kate Upton’s phone was exploding today after she accused Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexual misbehavior. Kate, 25, has just dropped a few hints about Marciano on Twitter and Instagram, but she promises details will follow! Marciano is already agitated and implying that Upton should be grateful for the money Guess paid her and the fact that Guess made her famous. Sure she was paid, but how about all the money Guess made because of HER? This could turn into a huge and riveting can of worms because some of the biggest models in the world worked for Guess, and may have plenty to say…

MATT LAUER’S REIGN OF TERROR AT NBC IS OVER!

Just as we suspected, as soon as Matt Lauer‘s termination was announced, MORE women worked up the courage to call him out for sexual misconduct. Hopefully, the malevolent and sexist “boys club” that ruled at the Today Show since day one, will finally be broken up for good. We’re guessing that Ann Curry (above) is very happy today – it’s common knowledge that the entitled Lauer orchestrated the termination of the engaging news anchor. And, of course we wonder what Tamron Hall has to say – both of these women were very popular on the show and left for illogical reasons. We’d love to see them both return!

HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND STEVEN SEAGAL: BATHROBE PREDATORS

At last! We’ve been eagerly waiting for Steven Seagal’s name to come up linked to sexual assault, and Juliana Margulies did it! Super-creepy Seagal, 65, has always been comparable to Harvey Weinstein in his methods – he invited actresses to his hotel room for “auditions” and greeted them in a bathrobe! Numerous women have charged the massively egotistical actor with sexual harassment over the years, but they’ve been paid off. (The repugnant Marty Singer is his lawyer, of course.) Let’s hope Juliana opened the floodgates, because Seagal deserves to be recognized for the monster he is.

BRITNEY SPEARS’ SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT COULD BE SENSATIONAL

Britney Spears’ former bodyguard Fernando Flores, who’s suing her for sexual harassment, is licking his chops at the prospect of revealing all her dirty little secrets in civil court where we all can learn every lurid detail. Of course, HER people are begging the judge to move the case to probate court for privacy. There’s no decision yet, but hopefully the judge will rule our way because we do find Brit’s nudism and seduction attempts very entertaining.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR BRITNEY SPEARS

At first we had our doubts about Fernando Flores’ sexual harassment charges against Britney Spears, but now we’re starting to believe them. It’s certainly not the first time Britney has tried to hook up with a bodyguard or employee – maybe it’s just the first time she was turned DOWN. Brit’s not accustomed to guys saying NO. Think about it -most (maybe ALL) of her boyfriends since Justin Timberlake have started out in her employ. ( And Fernando happens to be better looking than most.) Stories about Britney prancing around the house nude started long ago. We can easily picture Britney making passes at Fernando and exposing herself to him. It’s not out of character for her. What’s more, we’re betting this lawsuit will open the door to other employees who have similar stories.
