SATC New Season - And Just Like That...

[Anonymous]

I’d really like to believe that SJP and Cynthia Nixon are the sorts who would have gone nuclear and kept him out of the reboot if they’d known this.

Seriously? One needed stitches and a rape crisis center confirmed they worked with her at the time. Both told multiple parties at the time as well. The accusations are 100% credible.

What seems more likely is that he thinks if someone is a "lower" side fling then he doesn't need consent because they should just be grateful they get to eff him. And guess what, that's rape.

Ding, ding, ding.

What famous guy hasn't been accused of sexual assault.

As someone who doesn't really follow celebrities, I can think of at least 20 off the top of my head. You should be ashamed.

Studios, talent agencies, PR, lawyers, and media conglomerates play clean up on 99% of this stuff. You have no idea who's been accused or not. Credibly or not.

Okay. So are you saying that literally every famous man has been accused of sexual assault, but it's all been successfully hushed out for every single one? That's your claim?

The Chris Noth accusations are incredibly well reported. I am assuming that was what drove the timing of the story, nothing to do with AJLT. The first woman's story has multiple corroborating accounts, from both the woman's boss and her friend who lived in the building where it happened and the friend who took her to Cedar-Sinai (they also talked to C-S but they don't have records going back that far). It is detailed. That's the result of multiple interviews with multiple witnesses, corroborating small details like the sequence of events, Noth's behavior at the woman's work, the boss's recollection of the voicemails he left, etc. That's weeks/months of reporting and it's hard, plus everything will then have been fact checked by THR and multiple drafts edited to ensure that everything in the piece is verified.

The second account is also incredibly detailed and includes multiple accounts that have been lined up to corroborate details. Same deal.

Particularly after that Rolling Stone piece about UVA that fell apart, publications take this kind of thing very seriously and will not publish allegations against public figures without thorough reporting. This is a very well done piece. The fact that THR is an industry pub and Noth is well known and recently in the public eye due to AJLT likely heightened the pressure to get it right.

I believe them.

Also, regarding Aziz Ansari, he was accused of a coercive sexual interaction but not rape, AND importantly, he later said that the incident was useful for him in helping him understand how simply being famous alters power dynamics in an encounter like that and he can see how it could be coercive even if that's not what he felt he was doing at the time. It was a thoughtful response and he even said he's glad MeToo is happening because it gives men like him a chance to better understand these situations from the perspective of women and to adjust their behavior. So if even Ansari is okay with how that played out, maybe it was actually fine? Though the Babe.com article that contained the Ansari accusations was terribly reported, I must note, and actually kind of hung the accuser out to dry. You would never see a story like that in an actually reputable publication. THR's piece demonstrates how it should be done.

How did this stay quiet until now?

Bc no one cares unless someone is actually in the limelight. With the new show, death and commercial it’s the perfect time for accusers to come forward.

Will be interesting to see how many others come forward. Deux Moi already has an e-mail from someone who saw him get sexually aggressive with a 19 year old at a bar a while back.

I went to NYU over a decade ago and it was apparently well known that he’d hang out at Starbucks to pick up college girls. As the article stated, he had an apartment nearby.

+1 And Ansari’s accuser shopped her story around and others didn’t think it was credible which is why it ended up at Babe in the first place.

+1 This episode was more like the show while the first two were more like the movies.
