That's so weird... it would imply that either someone was trying to make an effort to plant this rumour, or it was in fact already being spread elsewhere for both of those users to have heard about it already.
2006 is, I think, long enough ago that MySpace was still a primary social network - my suspicion is that, given the multiple users bringing it up within hours of each other, it might be that the rumour got its start on MySpace or another similarly now-defunct website/network before it jumped to ONTD versus it suddenly just arising from the ether here lol
Right? It’s very weird lol. Both those users independently heard it somewhere! I think you’re right, could be MySpace or somewhere else. It just seems so odd that it came out of nowhere and is such an enduring rumour despite no actual proof lol
omg I saw a comment either here or on Reddit where a user called Casey a rapist and someone corrected them saying he was actually accused of sexual harassment and the op said it’s the same thing😭
that's wild, I believed this for years even while thinking that it seemed out of character for ethan hawke (who honestly normally comes across as super chill and thoughtful and a bit of an egghead if anything in all the interviews I've *actually* seen/read of him)
good reminder that none of us are above falling for this sort of thing

That's kinda fucked up and pathetic if all untrue.

def not an active user lol
oh and on page 2 someone else says it, seemingly independently of the first commenter: https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/10040353.html?thread=1123682593#t1123682593

Like that Jared Leto "hurts like satan" story that is clearly part of fan fiction about his band.
ETA: Im not saying that Jared Leto isn't a creep.

In a few Joaquin Phoenix posts here people will start threads about him being in a room while Casey Afflec raped a woman.
Casey has never been publicly accused of rape. He was sued for sexual harassment by a woman who worked on a move that he and Joaquin did together.
Joaquin is complicit in the sexualy harrasment and hostile work environment for sure, but he didn't watch/allow Casey to rape someone.
