i don't understand how there are still people who support/protect/admire him, let alone keep letting him make movies. like there's no excuse for it. he was convicted.

did anyone else try to get their signature taken out or apologized for it? i remember natalie portman did.

also casual reminder that everyone's fav cate blanchett named her kid after this pedophile rapist

No.

He liked Morgan's polanskis post defending her father on insta a year or two ago

[bellwetherr]

iirc the roman thing was a joke

[pinkkchocolate]

don't know why she thought it'd be funny but eh whatever

[bellwetherr]

becaue she's a tone deaf asshole who worked with woody allen and saw nothing wrong with it

[pinkkchocolate]

Yep and this is why I thought the naming her kid after Roman Polanski thing was real

[bellwetherr]

oh totally - she likes one predator she probably likes the other lol

Her interview on Kimmel

When talking to the host about how she had named her sons she said 'Roman was, I don't know, Polanski, but it's also the French word for book.'

Yeah I dont think he was seriously named after him. She was rattling off examples.
