    In this atmosphere, damn near anyone might be the next to go public... but yeah.

    Scorch. The short version: MacFarlane lists the five nominees for Best Supporting Actress at the 2013 Oscars, then says "Congratulations, ladies, you no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein."

    Weinstein had done his high pressure act on Jessica Barth, who MacFarlane had worked on a couple of shows with, and he was pissed. The "joke" was a very deliberate slap.

    To steal a joke from Mike Schur, I guess then that the musical number in the same show about "Hey actresses, we've seen your boobs!" was also coming from a place of compassion and respect for women.

    Holy crap.

    A couple of the actresses look visibly upset.

    I know MacFarlane is "outrageous" but boy that was bad.

    You mentioned compassion and respect for women in connection with MacFarlane. I was sure we must not have been talking about the same guy. ;)
