Is that really an argument though? Those poor guys get owned so much with facts. And we see the same "Interim doesn't matter!" "But it does!" and "Ed O is just Saban before his prime" over and over and over again

The whole “That’s great. When do you think I can have sex with her again?” that she claims he asked the doctor after he told her she'd be fine seems completely made up. Who the hell would say that, and with her mother in the room?


Funny thing...that part I actually DO believe, though I think she's being misleading about the intent. Anyone that's ever listened to comics talk to each other, or talk about how difficult they find having conversations with regular people at times because of how warped they think ought to be able to imagine a comic saying something seemingly crude like that as an obvious joke to lighten the mood. That would kill with other comics but might land flat with others. Probably shouldn't have said it, but I don;t think it was a real question is my point, you know?

That reads the same way the other thing she said he once told her does. The whole, "I think I love you too, fagggot."

BTW, Patty Hearst is going in rough.

Yup
Accusation is instant guilty verdict ESPECIALLY if you are Caucasian heterosexual male.
Thank the liberals

She's responded with nothing of substance. Not helping her case at all.

"It is my hope, and it always was, that women and men on both sides of abuse will make changes to either protect themselves, or to stop the cycle of pain their own behavior can cause. These behaviors are insidious and often hard to spot -- we make excuses for them and, bit by bit, we can lose ourselves entirely,"


quote:

"Despite recent events, I hope that everyone personally affected by my story can find their own closure, though the support of loved ones and friends, the way I have," she continued. "In addition, my heart goes out to those caught in the fallout."


quote:

"The outpouring of support and love I’ve received over the past few days has been incredible and unexpected. The people who have come forward with both stories validating mine, and stories of their own personal experiences, have helped me immensely with my own healing process," Dykstra said Wednesday. "After years therapy and rebuilding, your support has done so much more for me than all of it combined." "This whole experience has opened my eyes to so much, and my heart goes out to those trapped in unhealthy or abusive relationships who haven’t found the strength to leave, those suffering in the workplace due to abuses of power or unfair treatment, and especially to those that don’t feel their voice can be heard the way mine has," she added. She concluded her most recent message with, "Having been able to lift from my shoulders that which was weighing me down, I’m ready to move forward in my life, finally, instead of looking back with fear and sadness. Thank you, once again, for your love and support."

Sounds like a terrible relationship and he's an a-hole that abused her emotionally but that's about it

Even then, it's a maybe, we really only care because it's fun to rubberneck when you aren't in traffic.

But we all have the friend(s) that went through a messy breakup.

Some continue fighting like cats and dogs. Other fought like cats and dogs throughout but one of em just wishes the other well and the other keeps barking and hissing.

So it goes.

Here’s what probably happened. He was pissed at her for cheating on him and has been keeping her from getting work. Finally she had enough and used the #metoo movement to get back at him by making up a bunch of stuff to destroy his career.

I don’t know Chris Hardwick. I’ve listened to his podcast(s) and spent a lot of time on Nerdist over the course of the past few years. The entire concept of Nerdist was built on giving people the ability to find ways to create their stuff. Nerdist sponsors a shite ton of people trying to get started (podcasting, digital media, etc). So if you told me Chris was actively keeping her from getting work, I’d be very surprised.

Now he’s got a ton of connections. So if people asked him about her and he said she’s batshit crazy, that wouldn’t surprise me either. But at the end of the day even in this instance, Chris still isn’t keeping her from getting work. She is by her behavior.

I don’t for a moment believe he is leveraging himself or his company to people saying “if you hire this chick Nerdist will never do business with you” or something like that.

The truth is probably this chick lost her five mins when she cheated on her famous boyfriend and decided to try to get it back by making a bogus claim. And this stupid society we live in has already judged and executed him despite the fact that they have no proof and even if you take what she said at literal face value still isn’t a #metoo claim.

He expected you to be home when he was? As a recovering alcoholic he expected you not to drink around him? He expected you not to hang out with other guys? (Which apparently his concerns were valid given the fact that you cheated on him)Sounds like a relationship to me.

Yeah but this isn't about giving some random person who's creative a chance. This is about an ex who cheated on him. Is he one to hold a grudge? I don't know.

It could be that she assumes he is doing this because she's having trouble finding work, and he had no hand in it at all. He did not address her claim of keeping her from getting work in his statement, keep that in mind. I think that and the accusation of "sexual assault" were the two biggest things to come out of her statement, and he declined to address one of them.

Again, if you tell an employer that your ex-employee was "batshit crazy", you'd better have documentation of the batshit.

And why have none of her friends come out and corroborated any of her story? All we have are anecdotes from either friends or his prior co-workers about his general personality. She claims that he alienated her from her friends. Why haven't her friends spoken up about it?

Speaking of that





So basically if you know him and aren’t coming out to condem him as an abuser then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Despite the fact that none of it’s been proven. If you know him you have no choice but to destroy him because otherwise we will just assume you are enabling him, not that it’s possible that he didn’t do it
