She wants people to know that Hunky Mama Cat used to be North American sales director of Rollaboo Stroller Company.

Didn’t save her from Michael Weatherly. I hate that he still has a career.

His 'relationship' with Jessica and the fact that his stupid ass legal show continued for another three seasons even though there was audio evidence of him being a nasty ass misogynist towards Eliza Dushku makes me furious. Like stop giving him work, he's garbage.

I'm thinking about all the reports of her being a bitch back then and wondering how much of that was perception because she wasn't here for certain types of attention.

we can literally never win. as i said below, we're taught it's up to us to protect ourselves. but if they don't like how we protect ourselves then we're doing it the wrong way and we're the problem. and then if something happens anyway then it's bc we didn't do enough to prevent it from happening. growing up as a girl is traumatizing.

Sorry to interrupt a serious thread with this, bc obviously I completely agree but where do you get your taskmaster gifs from? I've tried normal Google searches but that can't be all there is out there, there must be a better way lol

Michael Weatherly still preyed on her. :( He also sexually harassed Eliza Dushku out of entertainment.

Men were particularly disgusting about Jessica, so I cannot even imagine what men have said to her. I remember Carrie Fisher talking about how men had been coming up to her for decades telling her how often they masturbated to her being degraded in Star Wars and men are even more brazen now.
