[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]
+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. [/quote]
