I don't think what happened in Dallas was FanExpo's fault--it sounds like there was someone with no respect for boundaries, and that Joseph was given a break right after it happened.
What certainly is FanExpo's fault is that they added photo ops and autographs for his Philly appearance after already having to move pre-existing ones into one day. That was disgusting and a prime example of taking advantage of their guests.
All I am aware of in regards to the rumors - and I know that they haven't been confirmed so I am definitely sitting on the fullness of my rage until an official statement has been made, IF one gets made - is that, yes the act itself was not FanExpo's fault and the person or persons who are responsible for it should be held accountable for it in a legal sense. At the very least they should be permanently banned from FanExpo if it all comes to light that what happened really did happen.
However from what I have heard (all of this is just what I've picked up through the grapevine, so take it all with a mountain of salt just as I am) FanExpo did not do its due diligence in following up with the incident, in making sure Joe is safe and feels safe and comfortable (I know he took a break from cons after that but even that's been full of rumors; whether or not it really was because of filming schedules or if it was because of what happened, etc), and there have been some saying that it would not be surprising if FanExpo did not want Joe or anyone to speak out or make an official statement about what happened because it would reflect badly on the convention.
All of that is hearsay, I'm aware, nothing has been officially confirmed or proven false (yet).
However, as you said, FanExpo overloaded Joe (and from what I understand other celebrity guests in the past as well, like this is a repeated pattern) with work, has definitely pushed him well past what is reasonable for fan meet-and-greets and photo-ops and things like that, they do not treat him with the respect that he deserves, not as a celebrity but just as a Person, and those alone I feel are good enough reason to at the very least start calling FanExpo out on their shit.
Again, not only just with Joe but with any and every celebrity that has to put up with this kind of treatment.
At the very least they should be publicly called out, and I do believe if enough people did start calling them out and documenting their terrible treatment of guests, then some change could very well happen.
But if it does come to light that everything that's been rumored to have happened did actually happen, and it does turn out that FanExpo did nothing about it and/or wanted Joe to stay quiet about the incident, then I believe we ("WE" as in "Fans" in general of any celebrity, not just Joe) should boycott. I don't actually expect a boycott to be feasible, convincing enough fans to NOT meet their heroes and idols in person for an effective boycott of a convention would be like trying to turn the tide, but I still do believe it would be the right thing to do, morally.
Again, this is all just "if these rumors turn out to be true", so much information is just conjecture or hearsay, and I really hope that none of it actually happened to Joe because he doesn't deserve any of that and I hope he's doing well.
Please be careful when contacting FanExpo to ask for a statement about what did or didnāt happen at the con. Even if there was only a 2 percent chance it is true, youāre taking away Josephās option to deal with it privately.
Summary: He's the most popular professor at the most prestigious boarding school in London and though she wants very little to do with him that's not what he has planned for her. In fact, it is the very thing that will bind them together.

Notes: This story is complete and if I'm not wrong there are 30 full chapters so the tag list covers all of those chapters even if every chapter doesn't contain those things. It's just easier that way. Sorry about that. It should go without saying that this is an adult story meant for people over the age of 18 I think. Read with caution.
Over the next week she spent what little time she did have trying to watch the Stranger Things show. Only the season that Joseph was in, so it started out kind of confusing. Before watching she read a small summary but that was about it. She also didnāt have that much free time between her classes, homework, studying, and somehow getting onto the cheerleading team (though she didnāt expect that to happen either). Still, by the time Saturday rolled around again she was nearly on the last episode and by that point got the general idea of the show, what it was about, and what character her professor had played. Eddie was very different from the extremely proper teacher that she was used to but she guessed that was the point of acting. It also was probably what was not getting him recognized.Ā
When she arrived at the club she was dressed the same as the first time, since he had specified that and he came out to greet her. There werenāt many words exchanged by them before going back up to that same room where they had started with the first session. She sat down on the couch and he sat across from her. Other than the one odd encounter with her when she was in that cheerleading outfit he had avoided her like the plague. Sheād even considered not showing up for the session at all but since he hadnāt texted her to tell her it was off she figured she better show up.Ā
āWhy are you looking at me like that?āĀ
āLike what?āĀ
āI think you know,ā He insisted, and he was right. Though she had tried not to let the whole perception of him being a former actor for a hit TV series affect her, it wasnāt working. It wasnāt that she cared that he was a celebrity, it was more that she was just in absolute amazement at his talent. She also better understood why a drama teacher knew something about music since she found out that heād played that guitar. Yeah, it wasnāt the same as a violin but it was still an instrument. It also made sense why he was so good with his hands. Having this revelation about him only made her want to respect him more while at the same time not make him feel uncomfortable or that she was interested in staying there just because she might be a fan of his work. She had come there initially without knowing anything about him so she hoped he wouldnāt start to make that claim now.Ā
āWell,ā She said slowly, āIn the interest of honesty being the best policy I found out about Stranger Things and Eddie and your real name but I didnāt tell anyone.ā She blurred out very quickly then flinched. There was no telling what to expect but she didnāt think it would be anything good considering how heād reacted just over a costume sheād worn without any knowledge that it connected to his past.Ā
āFound out.ā He said, āHow much?āĀ
āIām uhā¦almost done with watching the whole season but youāre really good in it, so is everyone else and I think-āĀ
āStop.ā He said, āWho told you that you could do that?āĀ
āTo be fair, you didnāt say I couldnāt either. I also found out on my own and it wasnāt that hard after how you reacted, sir.ā She said, her voice soft as she looked down at her hands. If he was going to kick her out and tell her ever to bother him again she would do just that but it wasnāt what she wanted.Ā
āYou still snooped into my personal life and I think despite me not telling you anything you knew you shouldnāt, yeah?ā He asked. That wasnāt an incorrect assessment of the situation. The whole time she was doing it she knew it was wrong which was why she had been hiding it from her roommate and everyone else. If sheād seen no problem with it then she wouldnāt have been keeping it such a secret and she knew that too. āSo, where does this leave us?āĀ
āI mean, I guess Iā¦well if you donāt trust me anymore I get that but I really didnāt tell anyone. Even Gina doesnāt seem to know. I think she got the costume without having a clue what it was for she just liked it. I didnāt ask, though, I didnāt want to draw attention to it and make her think about why I needed to know. Just in case.ā He nodded and got up, walking around the back of the couch over to one of the walls where there were some shelves. He picked up something in his hand and came back towards her, walking behind where she was seated on the couch.Ā
āThere are trust issues certainly,ā He said and as he spoke he put a blindfold over her eyes. A very good one that was padded and made things completely dark. āHow do I know I can trust you to keep quiet?āĀ
āItāsā¦itās been a week and you know how that school is. If Iād told anyone it would be everywhere by now.ā She said, which was true because the best currency in a place like that was gossip. Everyone already had money, except her, since she was there on scholarship. Three were only a few kids who were in the same position and they were more concerned with their studies than spreading rumors.Ā
āI still think a punishment is in order.ā He said, āStand up.āĀ
āYes, sir.ā She replied and got to her feet, though it wasnāt terribly easy with her eyes covered and the whole room seeming as black as night with that blindfold on. She didnāt know what he was going to do to punish her and even if it frightened her a bit it also excited her. A new experience was always welcome, especially in the realm of his dungeon. He took her arm firmly and gave it a yank, causing her to stumble before she fell into step walking with him. They stopped about twenty paces later.Ā
āStay here. Do not move.ā He said.Ā
āYes, sir.ā She replied. He began to move around her, she could hear him walking from here to there, probably gathering whatever it was he had in mind for this punishment. She didnāt know because she couldnāt see. That was probably the entire point, to build anticipation and raise her anxiety levels. Whatever he intended to do, though, she trusted that he wouldnāt actually harm her even if she may be in for a world of hurt. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity he grabbed her wrists and pulled them in front of her where they were handcuffed together. There was a metalĀ clankĀ as the cuffs seemed to be attached to something and he stepped away again. A few seconds after that her arms started to raise up above her head pulling her until she was nearly on the tips of her toes even with being in the heels that she had put on.Ā
āThere are things you know you arenāt supposed to see.ā He said, āAnd you admitted that you knew you were not supposed to see that.āĀ
āI did, yes, sir and Iām sorry, sir.āĀ
āYouāre going to be.ā He said, his voice gruff and yet somehow very arousing. He stepped up behind her and unzipped the back of her dress. That was when she felt the cold metal of a knife on her back, just the flat of the blade. She gasped softly as he used it to cut the thin straps from her shoulders to let the dress fall to the floor. He got down and pulled it out from under her so she wouldnāt trip over it presumably. She swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest as she grew ever wetter with the idea of being helpless at his hand, especially while he was holding a knife. āIām going to have to make this hurt, you know, so you remember what youāve done.āĀ
āYes, sir.ā She whispered. āI understand, sir.āĀ
āGood girl.ā He replied, as he traced the knife lightly over the skin of her cheek, she could feel how sharp the blade was and though he wasnāt actually cutting her just the idea that he could sent shivers through her. Pleasure and fear. A very addictive combination, and far better than any sheād ever felt before. He had said that the knives were not going to be used any time soon but she guessed he had changed his mind on that. Not that she really cared, because she was very ready for this. He grabbed the waistband of her panties and cut those away as well, so she was naked other than the heels and the stockings. He then grabbed her jaw and pried her mouth open, shoving the ruined fabric of her underwear into her mouth to use as a gag.Ā
āI know you may be worried about a safeword here but Iāll know well enough if I have to stop. Nod if you understand, shake your head if you do not wish to continue.ā He told her. She nodded her head without a second thought, ready to take her punishment (no matter what it was) and experience the full force of his wrath. She heard him chuckle then step away for another moment. When she sensed him again he was behind her, a hand slipped between her legs slapping her inner thighs to get her to spread them until they were about shoulder width apart. His fingers moved along her waiting and very wet folds, stopping to tease her clit for a moment causing her to groan into her makeshift gag. The very next thing she felt was something being inserted into her cunt. Not his fingers but some kind of toy, she was sure of that. It was small and smooth and she liked the feeling of it. Then he pulled back and she could hear him walk across the room, probably back over to the couch. Confused, she was about to try to say something when the vibrations started. She yelped a bit then moaned as the pleasure started to travel through her body. āClose your legs.āĀ
āYes, sir.ā She said, even though it was muffled and barely comprehensible at that point. She shifted to keep her legs together as the vibrations continued. At first they were mild but after a minute or so they moved up in intensity. She moaned louder, and would have doubled over had her hands not been restrained above her head as they were. She started to sway a bit, enjoying the pleasure but being irritated by it as well. It was good enough but not to make her cum, not by a long shot. Suddenly, the vibrations stopped, but only for about five seconds before they went into a pulsing pattern, causing her to squeal and gasp. She didnāt even realize he was behind her again until she felt the shock. This made her scream.Ā
He was using something, a device that she couldnāt see, which caused electrical shocks to run through her arm, and shoulder, which was where he had started. This combined with the pleasure of the vibrator was annoyingly good. He continued to trace her arm, back over her neck and down her spine before switching to the opposite side doing it over again. Her screaming didnāt deter him at all and her moans only seemed to fuel him into becoming more intense and going harder and faster. The pattern he was utilizing was unpredictable as well she had no ability to move out of the way or even try to dodge him because she couldnāt see where he was coming from or what he might do next. The shocks ran over her tits then down her stomach towards her cunt then her thighs. By that point there were tears running from her eyes with frustration because she wasnāt able to cum at all with the painful stimuli while the vibrator was still working to pleasure her from the inside even if she was vaguely aware that was the point. This was some punishment alright.Ā
āYou like this, I knowā¦I can smell it.ā He growled in her ear before stepping back again. She whined and nodded her head, nearly out of breath, trying to do anything she could to get even one orgasm to happen but nothing was working. The next thing she felt was absolutely ice cold. It was pressed against her back and it was quite the change in sensation from the heat of the electric shocks. She screamed and squirmed, pulling at her restraints and squeezing her legs tightly together. It didnāt take her long to figure out what he was using was an ice cube and it was sending shivers through her constantly. Pain, pleasure, fear, anticipation, she didnāt know what to expect next. Her heart felt like it might just burst out of her chest if he didnāt stop soon. Finally, she felt the ice on her clit, which made her squeal and buck towards him, but it wasnāt enough for an orgasm, almost, but still not quite. āSuch a good little whore for Daddy.ā He purred then patted her cheeks roughly and pulled back again. There was a moment of silence then the vibrations from the toy stopped completely. He moved back towards her and slapped at her thighs to get her to spread her legs again and as she did the toy fell out, clattering to the ground. She hadnāt realized sheād even gotten that aroused but she had. He pulled the fabric from her mouth.Ā
āP-Pleaseā¦ā She begged.Ā
āPlease what?ā He asked then laughed cruelly, āYou think you get to cum after what you did? Well, that wouldnāt be much of a punishment would it now? I think that you deserve even less than what I gave you.āĀ
āBut I did everything you-āĀ
āPleasure is not a right, it's a privilege and you need to earn it, princess.ā He hissed. The cuffs were released from whatever was holding them above her head and her legs gave out causing her to crash to the floor onto her knees. She cried out in pain and surprise as he grabbed her by the back of the head, holding her hair tightly in his hand. āOpen your mouth.āĀ
āY-Yes sir.ā She whispered and did as she was told. Only seconds later was his cock tracing her lips roughly she could feel the heat of it, almost pulsating as it slipped into her mouth. He was careful about it, though, obviously knowing that she was not an expert at such a thing but that didnāt mean she didnāt try. She worked her tongue and lips over what she could, sucking gently and eagerly even though she couldnāt see what the hell she was doing or what he looked like. He groaned softly, his grip on her hair getting tighter.Ā
āUse your hands you dumb cow,ā He snapped. She whined, the sound muffled by his cock and blindly, she reached up to find the length of him with her cuffed hands, wrapping them around the rest of his shaft to stroke it while she did what she could with her mouth. He groaned again, his breathing heavy and his sounds only getting louder. He seemed more prepared for it this time and he rocked forward, pushing into her mouth enough to make her gag before pulling out again. She coughed heavily and tried to look up at him, taking in a gasp of air before he did it again. She gagged and choked, being held in place for another moment until he released her. āFuckā¦keep going, I want to cum on those tits.āĀ
āYes,ā She coughed a few times, āSirā¦of course, sir.ā She continued working her hands remembering how heād shown her the first time when she was there, trying to do her best to get him off and give him what he wanted. The only thing that indicated that she was doing a good job was how he kept moaning and pulling at her hair. She once again got no warning before he climaxed and she felt it hit her chest and neck. Her hands continued to move, milking every last drop from him that she could until he slapped her away and took a step back.Ā
āWhat a good little pet.ā He said in a condescending tone that made her want to cry as much as it made her want to become a much better slave for him. She was so confused by all of this and even worse, her orgasm denial wasnāt helping her think much clearer on that end. There was the rustling and shifting of fabric before her blindfold was pulled away and she was able to see him again. Standing over her in that black suit with those amazingly hungry eyes. He smiled down at her then grabbed her arm and yanked her to her feet. She was pulled towards the bed and shoved onto it, still kept in her handcuffs as he laid her down then got on the bed behind her, pulling her in close to him, restraining her arms tight to her body. āNow, we are going to lay here while you think about what you did.āĀ
āButā¦but I-āĀ
āYou donāt get a say in this.ā He said, āIāll let you know if you ever do. Understood?āĀ
āYes sir,ā She said, trying not to sound as frustrated as she felt. She couldnāt move to get herself off, and she was still covered in his cum. Everything about this moment was infuriating but very arousing and she wanted to scream, cry, and beg for his attention but she knew she couldnāt. Maybe he would enjoy hearing it, that was possible, but she felt any complaining would only prolong the denial so it was better to stay quiet and take this in stride while she could. She could feel his breathing and his heartbeat as she tried to calm herself down and relax. Closing her eyes she took in a deep breath through her nose and let it out through her mouth. She had a feeling these next few minutes would be the longest of her life.
They put their hand inside his pants basically and of he freaked out pushed himself away from them and was near tears so the peaple in the cue was pushed out the room so he could have a break and peaple heard staff members say they think he needs glass between him and fans in the photo ops from now on. 3 people have came forward online to confirm that story.
Heās probably not going to do conās after this this stinks
I'm older I've been doing cons for years I do know incidents like these have made quite a few celebrities stop. What's awful is that he's in a contract with Fan Expo for 2 years so he may not be able to legally get out of it. I don't think he can just quit cause then they can sue him. He'd either have to buy his way out or if there's something in the contract about this type of behavior (and there might be) then he may be able to get out of it without repercussions. If that is what happens, do not be mad at him. He has every right to walk away from a situation like that where he's being preyed upon. I support his right to leave a situation that is not good for him. Be mad at the person who did it. He's the victim here. We should support him and what's good for his mental health.
So grace was an hour late to her auto signing after the panelā¦. And people were upset because they had things with Joe too and they didnāt want to miss thoseā¦. Someone said it was ridiculous that she was an hour late⦠and apparently, according to her fans, that was hateš
Anything that isn't basically kissing her ass is considered hate, bc apparently now people can't be upset for something completely valid
I will never ever understand why vqs simply choose to ignore the fact British people use "darling", "love", and "dear" casually. If that was proof of anything then we could safely assume Jamie is cheating on Jess with Grace because he's called her darling a thousand times. What is wrong with these people? Joe literally grabbed Jamie's arm to walk hand in hand with him during the Paris con and that doesn't mean anything, but he touches Grace's shoulder or hand and suddenly it's true love? Vqs are truly too far gone in their delusion. Why would they keep the relationship a secreto to protect Grace from hate when Grace gets hate every day? š
It makes no sense. We're already in june and they haven't come out of the relationship closet yet so what's the excuse now? Grace is getting more hate than ever due to her horrible attitude by bringing up someone's addiction in an argument and for joining freaking Faze, so why wouldn't they admit to a relationship? Oh, right, maybe it's because there's no relationship lol
Soon it will be two years since vqs came out with that stupid excuse. Meanwhile Richard is traveling with Grace and her father is posting pictures of them in his ig and Joe is having fun on Raya. š¤
it's because they chose to believe in whatever suits their narrative
