Hollywood Behaving Badly: Assault, Abuse and Other Crimes

Can Jon Lovitz please whoop Andy Dick's ass again?

Did Jon Lovitz whoop Andy Dick's ass? That makes me love Jon Lovitz... Now please no one tell me anything bad about Jon Lovitz.

Then don't google him and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Well, my like of Jon Lovitz was pretty brief, but googling what SweetOblivion told me not to actually produced some great, scathing articles from Jamie Lee Curtis. So... worth it! Still sucks that Lovitz couldn't keep his hands to himself... or at least occupied in whooping Andy Dick, though.

ETA: Andy Dick was fired from a film for bad behavior. His excuse? "They know about me; they know what they signed up for."

This is true; he's been sexually harassing people for decades, and they didn't care when they hired him.

Hollywood is acting like brand new sex crime laws were suddenly passed three weeks ago.

Julianna Margulies says she was harassed by Weinstein and a gun wielding Steven Segal.

I don't doubt her for a second, but this detail seems odd:

Margulies said she was shaken after that encounter, and so was wary when she was invited to meet with Weinstein, who is also now 65, in 1996, when she was in her third season of ER.

The movie was being touted as Oscar bait and was likely to get her a Screen Actor's Guild card, she said - and she was told that it was just down to her and another actress.

If she was in her third season of ER, why wouldn't she have a SAG card already?

[Babycakes]

I caught that too, and assumed that tv and movie have different gilds. Screen Actor vs TV actor. I don't know.

[Ginger]

No, SAG governs TV and film. Julianna got her SAG card on the movie she did with Seagal (Out for Justice"). It was before ER and somehow I doubt it was being touted as Oscar bait.

The Daily Fail is not a good source for much of anything.

I didn't know who Dan Schneider was so I googled him. Every link I click on seems to reference a post in the comments section of CDAN, supposedly written by Robert Downey Jr., outing DS as a pedophile. Does anyone actually believe RDJ is leaving comments on gossip blogs exposing predators? Especially a site as shady as CDAN? They were exposed years ago for making up shit for their site. Remember the Timmy/Shimmy fiasco?

If there's other evidence about DS I'd like to read it, but I can't put much weight on blind items. Up until a few weeks ago many of us (including me) thought Gretchen Mol was having sex with Weinstein for her career until she came out and said she's never actually been alone with him. So I don't know if DS is a pedophile or not. If he is, then this would be the time for a victim to speak up. I'm sure there are plenty of creeps in the children's TV industry.

Re: Julianna Margulies. She says in that article that Steven Seagal tried to get a massage from her. I remember Hunter Tylo saying several years ago that he groped her during a massage. That must be his MO. (And Harvey's and Travolta's, apparently).

I haven't seen this pig mentioned here yet: Director James Toback has almost 200 accusers so far. I knew about him because of Amy Schumer's book. She wrote that they were seated together on a flight once and before the plane had even taken off he was saying things like "The best way to get to know a woman is to have anal sex with her." #barf
