Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2022 It's the Savile thing again - the rumours have been around forever, but the victims were either vulnerable enough or else had no hope of a public platform, or came from scenes in which Westwood had outsized influence, so could always be painted as groupies or people just after fame, and the establishment did fuck all as a result. One of the most galling parts of the Savile documentary was journalists saying, "oh yes, we'd all heard the rumours", yet seemingly none of them doing more than the bare minimum to investigate them. I know that's a gross simplification, but that's basically what's gone on here - the rumours kept circulating, but the BBC and the police did nothing either out of a desire to protect their investment, out of indifference bordering on corruption or, most depressingly likely, because his victims were "only" black teenagers, so who gives a shit?

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2022 Two years doesn't seem like enough for an apparently unrepentant rapist caught bang to rights on camera, who pleaded Not Guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does go to show that the allegations may ruin lives......for about 3 months before news moves on and the alleged return to their lavish lifestyles. The replies and hate she received for this thread is everything that is wrong with the world and the male species specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The only one I’m slightly dubious about is Paul Haggis - as he’s been a vocal opponent of Scientology and claims that these accusations are part of their smear campaign. Regardless he’s been awaiting trial on the charges for about 3 years so there will be some sort of resolution one way or another. Overall though… it’s a depressing list.  And unless the legal profession come up with a way of properly trying historic accusations it will remain that way.  She didn’t even include Trump, whose dozens of assault and rape allegations didn’t keep him from the highest office in the land.

While Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys has a few accusations, some of them look like they stem from friends of his brother with whom the Carter family have been embroiled in an extremely ugly and sometimes public feud for years. Aaron said Nick raped a 91 year old for instance as well. Aaron stands by the BSB former manager who was a nonce. Aaron Carters story is fucking tragic, his face just screams that he’s seen things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted May 23, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2022 Al Franken being named in that list is an odd one as he's one of the few people that accusations had a massive impact on. Being forced to resign when there were other people in US politics accused of far worse who were just left to get on with their lives was a very odd time. Not justifying his actions at all but it was a weird little hypocritical bubble that summed up American politics at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
