Here’s the big difference between Schneider and Harvey (apart from making Harvey look like a Boy Scout): Harvey didn’t have any bosses and answered to no one and of his crimes he did off company property infamously at the Four Seasons. Dan did have bosses, they knew what he was doing (much of this caught directly on camera), and he was doing it on company property. The allegations against Schneider are so egregious that it could take down all of Paramount and Viacom. There’s billions on the line when it comes to him while they could afford to feed Harvey to the wolves.

Which makes me question why there has not been a civil suit with those deep pockets.

Stage moms are the worst. They can be evil. Francis Farmer's mom had her go through electric shock therapy and other mental health abuses to please the studio.

” The meeting had been arranged by their mother, Maria Zakharenko, who thought that “many doors might be thrown open for her, with just a nod of his famous, handsome head on her behalf,” according to Lana Wood.

According to Lana Wood, Natalie Wood did not discuss with her what happened until both were adults and Natalie, after describing being brought into Douglas' suite, told her sister, “And, uh ... he hurt me Lana.”

“It was like an out-of-body experience. I was terrified, I was confused," Lana Wood remembers her saying. Lana, now 75 and around 8 when the alleged incident occurred, remembered her sister and their mother agreeing it would ruin Natalie's career to publicly accuse him.

“Suck it up" was Maria's advice,

I don't give a shite what happened enough to spend 28 dollars to find out. The details will be out soon enough.

Typically these women profit first, accuse later when their career fizzles.

I agree, its questionable at best.

Its understandable, because the allegation could likely ruin their career.

If a top heart surgeon would lose their career making that allegation and have to take a 95% pay cut, they'd think long about it too.

If you can't report it at the time, don't report it. It comes off as selling out. Trading justice for $$.

Which it is.

Yeah but I still don't understand why once out of the grips of these guys and in adulthood with other avenues for money, success, etc., they still so regularly pull punches.

I don't know, honestly. I mean a lot of people talk about how hard it is to go through this kind of trauma and that the mind works differently for someone in this situation. Most people would think the way you do and I certainly would too, but there is a very real shock that breaks you when you go through something and most people who haven't been through it don't get it. The 2016 flood was the first time I realized this first hand. If you didn't flood, it really wasn't a big deal, but if your house was destroyed, totally different. Nothing prepares you for going through something and you don't really know how you are going to react.
