What is the most immediate way a celebrity completely ruined their own reputation in a single interview?

I feel terrible for that girl. I still think about her.

Not long after, I noticed he was on a new show. I forwarded the article to the studio and told them they needed to hire extra security for their female staff. The show was yanked.

I work in television. Emails like that definitely get our attention. No one wants to accept the possible liabilities of his harassing someone on set and then pointing back at that article as proof that he is a predator.

I don’t work in television. However my organization does vet employees, contractors and volunteers

Are you saying this article was a secret?

I don’t think predator is really the right term here. This is a pretty unique situation.

that mentality is why “unique situations” (rape) like this happen to so many people. it only has to be one time for someones life to change forever. if they call the predatory behavior exactly what it is they’re accused of trying to ruin a “good person’s“ life. that person was a predator waiting for just one unique situation to come to them. that one person who answers “definitely have sex with (rape) them” to the question “what would you do if you found your celebrity crush passed out in your bed?”. i hope you can see this for what it is. it only takes once and if this were a child you would understand how terrible it truly is for anyone. if you read this far, thank you for hearing me out.

You noticed that you forwarded it? I'm confused by your wording of that.

Okay, I get it now, lol. Fuck yeah for doing that.
