He's such a loser. Does anyone know if he stopped working in the show business?

I think so. The Royals was cancelled when this came out, and he's been silent since.

it’s sad that women often feel safe from men only when in the proximity of other men bc men only respect other men and their boundaries and have a complete disregard for the boundaries of women

I was thinking the same thing

it must be so therapeutic to finally get all of this out. it sounds like it was such an unexpectedly nightmarish set.

I love her being able to release it with her closest friends. It feels like she is in a safe place and can share with the world whatever she is comfortable talking about.

Even though no abuse victim should feel they HAVE to tell their story, I'm glad that she's at a place in her life where she feels okay enough to go public about it. People should know how awful he was to her (and her castmates like Daneel). It's sickening to think about how long he was able to keep working despite pulling this shit in front of people.

how disgusting and terrible. I'm glad she had a large support system but it's terrible she even needed it.

Between takes, Burton would stay close to her father.
"You can't touch me, you can't pull me into a sidebar conversation, you can't do any of that if I'm just making jokes with my dad."

I'm not familiar with their history but this creep sounds like he was doing too much and she wanted to protect herself against any unnecessary contact from him.
