Corey Feldman refused to name names as well. He said if he did he would get sued considering it has been so long ago and there's a statute of limitations.

That's not how defamation works. He can still very much name his abusers.

I honestly would have to find out what she considers sexual assault, there have been some very confused folks at to what constitutes both that and sexual harassment lately.

Honestly, her not speaking up earlier is somewhat understandable. She mentions that she feels guilt. I think she's being unfair to herself. She's a victim.

However, given her status and her realization that she needs to speak up, she HAS to name names. If she refuses, she's contributing to the problem.

If you think there have been victims in this ordeal, then she absolutely owes it to them.

I like Reese Witherspoon. But, if she refuses to name names, she deserves to be criticized as a part of the problem.

So basically she is admitting that at even 16 she was a whore

Again, I'd love for them to come forward with names, but I can't pretend to know what that world is like.


I disagree. Silence enables rapists to continue raping.

There are many issues at hand.
Witherspoon needn't go further yet.

Let Goddamned journalism actually do its Goddamned job!
How many Directors did Witherspoon work with as a 16y/o?

Two!

2!

That's it.

How effing tough is that to work out?

Mikael Salomon, Marshall Herskovitz . . . those are the two Directors.

No way in hell the assault on a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD was an isolated incident.
One of those two men is a scumbag POS who has done this to many other girls.
Journalists need to actually do their damn jobs and work this out.

I repeat. In this case, she should name names because by giving a "when" and a job title(director), she basically put about 5 dudes on potential blast.

I'm sorry. That's some bull shite if you happen to be one of those 5 and NOT the guilty party.

I feel for something this big, people can't just start throwing out names willie nillie. There will need to be a collective legal effort and hit it all all once.

She's put two out there. That's it. If you choose to believe her, and I do, at least one of those two should be in jail. Reese Witherspoon is not stupid. In fact, she is reportedly quite bright. I am highly suspicious her accusation is not an either or proposition. Both Directors may well be guilty.

Salomon seems connected in Hollywood due to his work with guys like Spielberg and Cameron. That’s the kind of guy I can see agents and directors saying “We their let this out because it will make powerful people look bad.”

Because some folks don’t want to get hit with the inevitable defamation lawsuit and have to go through the discovery process.

She, personally, has nothing to gain from naming names and only an annoyance and rehashing of it all to “gain”. She doesn’t owe it to anyone to name names if she doesn’t want to.




I don't think anyone would judge her for keeping quiet but by half-assing it she's taken the worst possible road. As Shorty pointed out she's thrown out a blanket accusation against a number of people, most of whom are presumably innocent. But she doesn't care because she sees herself as one of the chosen few. She needs to name names or shut the frick up. Vague insinuations are inexcusable.

Why did she wait 25 years before making a peep?

She's a pretty big name and could have help out this behavior but I guess fame and fortune overrides morals.

Where were these stories BEFORE one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood was brought down from his ivory tower?

My only beef is with the guys who actually raped women. if some woman agreed to give up the pussy for a role. Hey it's her body her choice, right?

So you'd be okay with a condition of your daughter's employment being fricking the boss?

These women would have more credibility if they weren't enthusiastic Hillary supporters.
