I never see the point of putting actors on the spot like this but Hugh handled it well. There are people much higher up who actually have the power to oust Singer forever. His antics have been a badly kept secret for at least decade now. Start putting pressure on the studios to stop working with him.

Higher ups in the industry have the power to silently get rid of all these abusers, make sure they never work again, they do it all the time with women especially, we’ve heard so many stories, but truth is… they don’t want to.

lol right?? “post-metoo” my ass

i still remember when elliot page spoke out against brett ratner and anna paquin was the only one who vocally supported him (though she nudged shawn ashmore and aaron stanford into signal boosting, too). i remember thinking why are the other millennials the only ones backing this up when page said everyone was there?

halle and alan cumming said as much as they could about singer pre-metoo and as marginalized folks they both had way more to lose than the other adults on that set. i’m tired lol

[excuseyoubitch]

yeah like the first big sexual assault of a minor lawsuit against singer was in 2014, and 20th century fox hired him as director of bohemian rhapsody in 2017 knowing it was gonna be their tentpole oscar bait film that year. its just a joke

[peddlestools]

I forgot that he directed that trash heap of a movie

wow

[poisonapple73]

I guess he basically didn't, I think he was such a mess on set that they brought in the director of Rocketman who polished it up and did a lot of the directing. But naturally Singer somehow still got the credit.
