“I wouldn’t say anything - my policy actually is to be an artist. Don’t come out and state your stuff so much. I don’t think that makes me apathetic or not engaged. I just think it’s my job.”

But tbh, if my boss was revealed as someone who committed CSA, I would be hightailing my ass out of there and doing a lot to disassociate myself with that person. It might not be your actual job, but you're still a public figure whether or not you like it, and by coming out saying you shouldn't have apologized is basically giving the finger to victims.

Absolutely, this! She even mentions in her comment about “redressing the balance here” regarding believing women.. so is THIS comment a redress of the redressing? It’s hard not to take it that way.

(Also, she says we need to “believe the women” right now, but I’d like to point at the Dylan was just a child when this first happened, and her story hasn’t changed).

Yup I would be 100 percent on her side if she was speaking of some one like Trump
Or Musk but when you choose to work with someone whose actions and allegations are very well known it changes things.

lol pathetic

[krystiocracy]

a lot of these people are cowards under the cover of "I'm an artist, I don't want to talk about x issue" but still walk around acting like they have so much more integrity than everyone else. like please be for real

I think a lot of them are in for a rude awakening into just how political their jobs really are. Can't make a movie when half of craft services has been deported/rounded up.

[mhfromnh]

politics permeates every single thing.

I don’t think that we should be the ones who are doing judge and jury on this.

I think we're allowed to because the actual "judge and jury" failed us on this.

[aleksie]

She left out executioner, so we still have an option.

I love to be the judge and jury and I don't believe in innocent until proven guilty when it comes to individuals, because all I can do is criticize and withhold my patronage. Woody Allen is not going to go to jail because I openly call him a child abuser and a pervert.

Fuck her
