In a lot of states it’s legal. |
You really think they would care?? |
"California law prohibits anyone over the age of 18 to have sexual intercourse with anyone under the age of 17. In most cases, individuals guilty of this crime are automatically placed on the state's sex offender registry." |
She wasn't under the age of 17. |
The way he got with wife is way sketch too--she was married and just back from honeymoon I think? She obviously was into his $/fame too. |
If I was the girl's father, I would have probably punched the 38-year old in the face. I'm the mom of much younger kids.
Looking at the picture in OP, what strikes me is that she looks looks like the product of a photoshop app that changed his gender and age. Gross. He dated the underage opposite gender version of his own face. |
Um, yes? Didn’t he also move her out to LA and paid her college tuition at UCLA so he could control her and service him? He groomed a child and then took over her life — at least for a few years. |
Exactly |
Sigh. Yes, I understand why someone in general would care about the situation, but the people coming in posting over and over again as if under 35s would care about 66 year old Jerry Seinfeld in general are delusional. |
It’s not a child. |
What is wrong with you? I made my own choices by the time I was 17. She gets to run her own damn life, not you social media hags. |
. It’s an adolescent. |
There's no spinning this. Legal or not, it's beyond creepy and predatory. He was an A List actor, the power dynamic is off the charts imbalanced. MAYBE if he was 15 years younger -- mid to early 20s -- it would have been weird, but whatever. But he was almost 40 years old and one of the biggest celebrities in the world dating a high school senior! |
How would the public react if Jake Gyllenhaal (age 39) was dating 16 or 17 year old Millie Bobby Brown?
Jake's career would be over immediately. Forever a coined predator. ![]() |
Definitely. My parents would have never let us date someone in their 20s, let alone older, while I was in high school. During my freshman year in college, a friend dated a 25 y/o and we all thought that was creepy. |
