Said this in another thread, if you're in a culture where it's so rampant, and especially if you're not an established actor/actress, who do you go to? Who's going to believe you? And will I ever work again.

Reese Witherspoon isn't a newcomer.

She is an "established actress".

Why won't she name names?

Your premise makes no sense in this situation.

Um. The police? If you're sexual assaulted you file a police report and hire a lawyer.

If you're 25 and make a conscience and consenting adult choice to be in shitty situations in exchange for a lifestyle you're chasing and later you regret that decision, that doesn't suddenly make it a crime.

I think there's a pretty large difference between manipulating and assaulting/raping a minor and an adult choosing to do something in exchange for excess fame and wealth. I'd happily wish someone to change my mind on that.

You could go home and get a 9-5 job like the rest of 99% of the country . Of course that job wont pay millions a year with 5-6 months vacation.
