She should never have to work with her abuser and the fucker should face justice. That said, her publicity tour to regain her reputation after her shitty tweet is not doing much for me. She still acted incredibly unprofessionally and was nasty to the hardworking cast and crew.

A woman reacts to being contractually forced to be around a man who sexually harassed her for years on set, despite the show being her big break, and you’re thinking of the intern doing Starbucks runs.

[frejasface]

She should never have had to be contractually obligated to be around a man who sexually harassed her. I am saying I feel empathy for her while also having skepticism about her PR tour.

Also, do not diminish the treatment or treatment of interns in defense of a celebrity.

[oppareul]

Miss me with this totem pole pile on bullshit without proof in the face of professionalism.

She’s not on the show anymore, wrote a book and has a movie coming out. You calling her finally telling her truth a PR tour is exactly why she said, "It’s meaningful when you make the choice to believe women."

So you being mistreated means you can mistreat others who are lower on the totem pole?

[oppareul]

Literally have never heard anything bad about Constance besides that fuckeit punk ass grifting scammer yashar Ali and his 8 year old avi.

All that shit came out as a dog pile, you think she was really having a dick swinging contest with Jennifer “professional vocal thief” Lopez. Be serious

“ A woman reacts to being contractually forced to be around a man who sexually harassed her for years on set, despite the show being her big break, and you’re thinking of the intern doing Starbucks runs.”

That was you. You’re the one who typed that. You’re the one who hit Post Comment. You.

[oppareul]

So you’re saying you think women should suck it up and be around their abusers for the sake of a check?

That was you. You’re the one who typed/implied that. You’re the one who hit post comment. You.

How do you know she was nasty to cast and crew? Is there concrete proof or just rumors

[kamikashi]

i honestly dont think theres ever been any proof and its just the hard to work with rumor hanging over her head this whole time?

[yankeesarelove]

I have heard firsthand accounts of her treatment towards the staff and it was awful for years.

[miwa201]

was it just on fotb?

[yankeesarelove]

I only know of her behavior on FOTB towards the production staff- can't speak on anything else! i obviously can't say details for their privacy but it was always in stark contrast to how the rest of the cast treated the same staff (lovely, by all accounts).

[m_pendulum]

That's interesting because ... if she was the one being harassed and is the only young Asian women in the cast-then yeah, that honestly makes me believe her and them more and makes me think it was directly due to the abuse she was facing. Which is sad for everyone

[goldie3]

I think she and a white woman were the only young women in the regular cast

[m_pendulum]

Yeah because she had the blonde best friend. And Wu has said that she was being targeted because she was an Asian woman.
