[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the lawyer from the long post. I’m a woman and a rape survivor. I’m not so much defending Hamm as defending people who might choose to forgive him, or not judge his entire character based on unsubstantiated reports from one event. I just don’t think we know enough to evaluate the situation and draw a final conclusion about a person. Comparing it to Weinstein is not apt, IMO— Weinstein’s abuse went on for years in the industry. He was hugely powerful and used his hate keeping position both to abuse his many victims and to keep them from being believed. Hamm is just an actor, not a producer with the power to make or break careers. I suppose it’s possible Hamm has done other terrible things, but we just don’t know. Honestly, his career has not even been that great. Outside of Mad Men, he’s made a handful of movies and done some smaller character roles in other TV shows. It sounds like his drinking has curtailed a lot of opportunities.

I also don’t get the assumption he’s lying about his childhood but willingness to take the one account from the lawsuit as gospel. Sure, he might be lying. But anyone might. These people are all strangers to me and to you. We are not well positioned to evaluate any of these claims.

All I’m saying is that I think it’s okay to decide you don’t know enough about what happened to draw a conclusion, and that you are not required to hate Jon Hamm for this. You can if you want, but I choose not to and feel fine about it even as a rape survivor myself.[/quote]

I disagreed with you earlier, but I like you. This is a smart post. And I’m sorry about what you went through. It takes a wise person to remain gracious after being the victim of trauma yourself.
