'Me, too'

You are seriously one of the dumbest sons of a bitch I have ever come across.

“[I feel] true disgust at the director who assaulted me when I was 16 years old and anger at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment."

 

As OOP and others have noted, she didn't necessarily mean a director with whom she has worked. She expressed "anger that I felt at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment." That could arguably mean a producer saying, "I won't hire you for this next film if you make any accusations against Director X because my studio doesn't need the headaches," or an agent who says, "I can't get you that role they're considering you for if you're making sexual assault allegations."

Occam's Razor might suggest it's one of the three directors she worked with age 16, but that's not enough to credibly narrow the field.

 

I suppose it's possible she was saying a free-floating nebula sexually assaulted her.

 

Is this that written skill you were bragging about? I'm not impressed.

 

Great. Her lawyers can have fun arguing that.

 

Despite Dickie's misleading attempts to argue otherwise, the director is not identifiable with the information she shared.

 

And as an aside, your long-standing love of OOP is the Julia Roberts-is-fucking-Lyle-Lovett-are-you-fucking-serious-about-that? of this board.

 

That's probably right. Especially since the other likely - logical - venue is New York, which doesn't recognize it.

Public figures have to prove actual malice in false light cases. If you can prove actual malice, you can also probably prove libel. Typically in states that recognize false light you see it brought alongside a libel claim.

 

^^ My reaction, too. ^^

The argument also can be made that what Witherspoon revealed was personal and traumatic information about something in her life that she had kept private up until now. And so now she is disclosing and divulging that.

 

How dare you not be an asshole to the posters I don't like!

Given the support you give YF around here, you really shouldn't be giving anybody advice regarding who they stand by on SJ.com.

 

Reese Witherspoon revealed on Tuesday that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas teamed up yesterday to violently rape her when she was 13 years old.

Good with that?

 

So you are asking for proof?
