'It’s so easy to Google "Creepy Biden"'

In an interview, Lucy Flores says she came forward now because she fears Joe Biden would make it harder for Democrats to contrast with Trump on the treatment of women.

Biden doesn't recall alleged close encounter with former Nevada assemblywoman

"Even if his behavior wasn’t violent or sexual, it was demeaning and disrespectful," wrote Lucy Flores, who says he kissed the back of her head.

"Neither then, nor in the years since, did he or the staff with him at the time have an inkling that Ms. Flores had been at any time uncomfortable, nor do they recall what she describes," the spokesperson said.

Hard to believe that none of member of his staff watched the Daily Show with John Stewart.

Unpopular Opinion

About the whole Weinstein Effect and everyone involved (I'm focusing on Woody Allen and Kevin Spacey primarily), I'm in the middle of the road. Especially compared to some others who are saying they want them dead and denouncing their work entirely. There have been shitty people making all forms of art forever. John Lennon hit his wife, J.D. Salinger had a relationship with a 14 year old (as did Jimmy Page), Sid Vicious murdered someone, so on so forth with many other people. But I am not going to stop listening to Led Zeppelin or the Beatles nor am I going to never read Catcher in the Rye again. What they created was art, monumental seminal classics... and so did Spacey and Allen, maybe to a lesser degree but they are still near the top when it comes to actors and directors. So I am going to admire their art, watch it again, and put that DVD on my shelf. But (if some of you have even gotten this far) that doesn't mean I think they should keep working and continuing on in the way they have. I think the they should follow whatever comes next in terms of the law and if they are blackballed from Hollywood (like what's nearly happened already) so be it, I wont be one to object as they are objectively horrid people. I'm all for making Hollywood a safer place with cleaner people. I know some have difficulty separating the art from the artist, but I don't have that issue, but that doesn't mean I am for what these people have done. I hope karma kicks them in the ass, but I'm not one to wish for someone's death nor one to disregard everything a person has done because of something they've done. I think that is a reasonable stance but some will disagree. Its all a very subjective grey area. This issue is pretty old but I've thought about this a while. So here you go.

Actress Sand Van Roy Details Luc Besson’s Alleged Sexual Abuse, While More Women Accuse Director of Harassment

Actress Sand Van Roy is no longer the only Luc Besson accuser, as two more women have come forward to accuse the French filmmaker of harassment.

He always seemed to exude an aura of lech but wow this is some special level of gross. Goes a long way to explaining Leon and Fifth Element though...

Yeah once eight separate people come forward with the same general story, you know some sort of shit is going down.
