    In the past I would have been more skeptical, but there's a wave of people being emboldened to tell their stories now. It looks to me like the way to the big money on these stories is hush money and an NDA, and when you take the story public that goes out the window. Maybe there's enough evidence to sue later, maybe not, but that's not a sure thing. Someone coming forward with a story like this is also at risk of being sued for defamation, and if they don't have solid proof that possibility is out there too.

    I"m going to tend to believe most of these stories, especially when multiple people come forward regarding the same person.

    Then again, I'm not going to put my name on it and publish it, either.

    How many Hollywood types are quickly rearranging the "ego walls" in their offices these days.

    "Oh that guy, BARELY even know him."

    My daughter is watching "Victorious," one of those Dan Schneider shows. There's a scene where they're asking one of the girls, in disbelief, if she's really a "vegan." Then they tell her in their dreamy voices about how good it is to put meat on the taco.

    These shows are all kinds of messed up.

    Deadspin or one of them should do a story that dissects scripts from Schneider's kid/teen/tween shows. I'm sure 90% of the dialogue is pornorific.

    There was something like that on the original link posted here.

    We have a 20 year old and a 9 year old in the house so I've been subjected to these shows for a long time.

    Always found them a little pervy tbh. Even moreso now knowing more of the story.

    I probably have to run this post thru oop's lawyer, but that meat between the taco line was meant exactly as a predator wants a teen girl to deliver it.
