Julianne Hough is such a flatlined no-talent-zero. Of course she would suck up to the network.

[frenchmoodle]

also she is blonde and white and apparently none of this concerns her

i think after dating seacrest or bearding for him, depending on which version you believe. (he does have those sexual harassment charges so, he's at least bi) she has seen first hand just how much shit you gotta shovel if you want a career in hollywood and don't act or sing.

and even if you do.

i'm not defending her, it's wrong, it is. she should speak out. they all should. but i have a feeling we civilians would be floored if we knew just how much shit you gotta shovel and overlook, if you want a career there.

Bearding.

The sex harassment from Miss Thang was probably a power trip on their part.

NBC? Racist? Sexist? NBC?

No. Never!

(ronan's book still has me wanting to boycott them fivever.)

Leno made a racist joke. Union, Hough, and several other staffers were present for the joke and found it to be offensive.

From blackface to caring about a racist joke. Wow guess shes had some growth...

Julianne denies the reports and said that she had a wonderful experience on the show.

Yep that makes more sense.

you know giuliani huff weak ass ain't gonna say shit! that biege blackface wearing bitch barely gets hired as it is she's not going jeopardize her d list career

nbc is the fucking worst. and of course jay leno made a racist joke about koreans. asian racism is so normalized it's insane...people really run reckless at the mouth and think no one will check them

Honest question:

Not sure of the context of the statement (accompanied by others etc) but would people here get extremely offended at that Korean comment, so much so to complain to it about HR for example?

[spellgabbana]

i had someone i work with throw out one of those asinine comments about cats when we were talking about chinese food and i shut it down but didn't go to hr.

[iznanassi]

yeah but i've never been in a workplace where "jokes" like that were tolerated

[jazzl3t]

it's good to document it even if nothing comes from it.

it's there and in writing (if they don't try to hide it) and helps more in the future. *shrug*
