It’s so nuts to me that Bull is still running and people just don’t seem to even remember or acknowledge her allegations against that fucking loser.

White cis men get away with everything 😡

I walked in on my dad watching an old episode of Bull and Elia and Michael were on the screen together. First, she is just so gorgeous. But - the point - I immediately say "YOU KNOW THEY FIRED HER RIGHT? HE SEXUALLY HARASSED HER!" It is so frustrating that the show is still on and he is still just free to be a shit.

It’s a show I watched and enjoyed. I was buzzing to see her and told my friend to watch because he loves her and I’d read they were making her a series regular. I haven’t watched an episode since she spoke up. I don’t even want to see that loser’s fucking face. It’s so infuriating.

She's brave af for speaking out and demanding change in the industry. Queen shit.

Michael Weatherly/CBS got to continue on as if nothing happened and the show is currently in its 6th season.

isn't this the guy, where there is actual video of him saying exactly what she accused him of doing?? even with footage it's still not an issue for him. jfc.

[a_files06]

Yep but the videos can never be released unless CBS releases them so everyone ignores it.

The only funny thing is that CBS submitted the tapes to the case thinking they'd prove Eliza wrong but it backfired.

-Eliza stopped acting after the incident in 2017 after a 30 year career and refuses to return to Hollywood if it means signing her rights away.

this is the thing that we never hear about when it comes to men who sexually harass and abuse women at work... the women whose careers ended because they were traumatized. we've lost out on so much while these fucking men just keep getting more chances. she stopped acting completely and that fuckhead is still on the very show he harassed her on!

anyway, i'm sad that she feels she can't return to Hollywood and do what she loves but it's honestly probably the healthiest choice for her and i'm glad she seemingly has the resources to support herself regardless.

It’s imperative that men be allowed to produce their ~art that we as the human race are enriched by because of how profound and important it is. Women should be sacrificing themselves for the good of this cause tbh!!

You forgot /sarcasm

[mistycreed]

Eliza was such a formative actress for me when I was growing up, so it makes me extra angry (and sad) that she was driven away from Hollywood. Though, I am relieved she has the resources where she does not have to act to support herself and that she can raise her family away from Hollywood and pursue higher education. She's working on a master's degree right now (or she might have just finished), iirc.

Jfc I knew he was trash because of his history with Jessica Alba but didn't know the dude has sexual harrassment allegations. And he still earns a fucking lot

It's very brave of her to bring this issue up again, in a bid to change the industry for the better, especially since she was literally forced out of the industry
