Here's what happened, according to this anonymous woman: Haggis tried to kiss her, she pulled away, end of story.

And they actually use the term "sexual assault" in the story.

Good grief, if that's sexual assault we're all screwed.

Didn't stop The Hollywood Reporter from running with the story, however.

quote:

In the late 2000s, I was sexually assaulted by Paul Haggis at work. "I need to be inside you," he said as he came at me. I felt my life could have been over, as this man who was my father's age forcibly grabbed me and tried to kiss me against my will. Fortunately, I escaped.

I told friends and family about the attack. But I never planned to tell my story publicly. A few weeks ago, I changed my mind. I told the Associated Press my story of workplace assault at the hands of Haggis — and I did so anonymously.

This is that really ugly dude?

Could be the mere attempt by him is a crime

I mean, if she truly felt this way in the moment, I feel bad for her, because that's a scary thought. But something tells me she didn't get quite the same level of fear as, say, people in Hawaii last weekend.

Clearly, feminism demands that women have no agency of their own. They are incapable of saying 'no' or acting themselves, they can only be acted upon.

What we need is someone with agency who can defend them... their honor, if you will.

A good chap, one who can be responsible for them at all times, and ensure no harm comes to their delicate selves, since they cannot act on their own. Hey! That's it! A 'Chap-one'. Or Chaperone, to make it roll off the tongue.

Feminism, 2019: Women should be granted Chaperones to help protect them from the male libido.

If this is the new definition, watch for booze and porn stocks to skyrocket.

I'm waiting for every girl I kissed in high school to come forward and accuse me of sexual assault.

Bingo. The church is going after him since he went on Remini's show.

Sounds a lot like Chappaquiddick to me. Hmm, where have we heard that word before?

Any day now I'll probably be hearing from my old girlfriend at Lincoln High, Gina Statutory. She was voted Miss Lincoln, because every guy in school took a shot at her in the balcony.

That's just a creepy statement.

Oh, please. There was a time when women knew how to punch creepy men in the gonads and walk away.

Yeah sounds like she has a strong claim for a brief incident of unwanted sexual harassment

But that's not sexual assault

“In the late 1990’s I was in a bar in Oxford, Mississippi. A young man came up to me and asked, ‘How ‘bout we get a pizza and frick?’ I slapped him. He then asked, ‘What? You don’t like pizza?!’ He seemed to really be interested in feeding me pizza and having his way with me. I was fortunate to get away with my life. His name was DownSouthJukin.”

There goes my political life.
