    This picture is creepily reminiscent of those pictures posted here of that sick fucker from Nickelodeon.
    That is too close.

    Eric Davis' father verbally accosted me at a Hall of Fame banquet years ago, because he didn't like the way the paper had treated his son and him (he was a former city councilman) over the years.

    I hope he's still alive to see this.

    A lot of push bacg against this story, saying it shouldn't be included with others in the #MeToo movement:

    For me it’s just the reverse. Mark Wahlberg is a hack of an actor, especially in All The Money in the World.

    Well, that story was a big yuck.

    You feel for the girl. Clearly Ansari took that date to a sexual level fast. Perhaps he didn’t think she could be interested in anything other than his celebrity, and thus that entitled him to the “perks” of it. I’m not a celebrity so it’s hard to say.

    Wahlberg is an innocent bystander. Shouldn’t this story be focused on the agent at William Morris who agreed to Williams’ arrangement? Meanwhile, WME is trying to buy away its culpability cheaply with a flimsy statement and a $500,000 donation.

    The friend also saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors a few days earlier.

    I don’t think publications should give anonymous people a platform to make serious allegations against named accusers.

    That said, I’m not sure what the push back is about. If her version is accurate, he’s awful.

    I haven't seen the push back, but I would assume it's because this doesn't really have anything to do with the #MeToo movement. She's not being sexually harassed at work. This isn't a person that holds any sway over her career. It's essentially a shitty date with an asshole who happens to be famous.

    I think this babe.net article is a horrible precedent. Fucking A, just start a bad dates.com site.

    To be honest, I am not even sure he was an asshole in this case. He was on a date, and wanted some sex... oh my, I'm getting the vapors!!

    He apologized the next day when texted about it.

    And then the bitch puts it online, anonymously. Because they had differing expectations of sex. F her.
