Terry Crews was apparently asked by Russell Simmons to 'give the agent a pass' who groped him. Terry posted a screencap of the message Russell sent to him.
The behaviour by Hollywood bigwigs is nothing new - it's been going on for decades, but it's amazing how much is coming out all at once. And kind of ironic that one of the people who helped get things going is Ronan Farrow.
The response by most people, at least publicly has been great. A few have received backlash. For example, Lena Dunham and Jenny Konner who supported the (producer?) from Girls who was accused. Apparently due to this, some of Lena's biggest supporters (like co-star Andrew Rannells) have begun to un-follow her on social media.
In any case, I'm glad that there seems to be a bit of a reformation happening, with some of the accused losing their jobs. For the most part, nobody has surprised me much. But if we ever see a name like Tom Hanks mentioned I'm sure peoples heads would explode. Thankfully no mention of him!
The only negative I'm really seeing is there's a huge lack of 'innocent until proven guilty' happening. While I support all of the people coming forward, for most there has been a lack of evidence against the accused, at least shared with the public.
