Celebrity Allegations, #MeToo etc

I’ve heard the name. Isn’t he famous in America? Just when I thought this was dying down.

Quite famous, has a TV show and is regarded by the general public as a great thinker though quite a few of his peers have claimed he's a bit of a fraud. He's had a few allegations made against him before so this isn't really that surprising.
 
I think Tyson is great at what he does, he's never advertised himself as one of the world's greatest scientists, the MSM and lots of people on social media have just chosen to label him this way. He's very effective at getting the general population, especially young people interested in science, research and discovery and I think that's a good thing. I can understand why seasoned, well published physicists may fee his fame and wealth are undeserved but it would be a bit like a virtuoso pianist being angry at Britney Spears for being famous. It's just a product of how the world works.

IMO, neither of the new allegations described qualify as sexual assault. You could maybe argue sexual harassment but it would be a stretch for me. Clearly he acted like a creep but there's not a fireable offence and certainly nothing worthy of a criminal charge in there for me.
 
I never knew other people hated Brian Cox. I feel like I finally found family. The smug, arrogant, smarmy condescending stupid cnut haircut cnut.

Yeah. I'm a strong proponent of science, and especially educating science where possible - but for reason it's become fashionable for those in the field to become intolerably stuck-up and arrogant.
 
Well they are almost certainly smarter than 99.9% of the population.

I don't think they're particularly arrogant, and I really quite like Tyson (even went to Sydney last year to see him) - I just think that they are a little aloof. I thought he (Tyson) may have been on the spectrum when I first started watching him. But it's likely that he's just a little aloof due to his intelligence, as in he may find it hard to communicate in a general way, when not talking about his fields of expertise.

I love that he wants to share his knowledge, the studies, discoveries, etc. with the world and in particular the younger generation. The Cosmos shows were brilliant too.
 
That was some weird shit.

Actors really live in their own little world.
 
This coming the day after it was reported that he'll be charged for another sexual assault. Way to misread the mood of the room.
 
Something weirdly sinister about the delivery of that and what he's saying. Not a single good vibe going on there. Very strange.
 
When I first watched the Spacey video I was like, wow didn't realise Netflix did a 180 and are bring his character back for house of cards, then it dawned on me no no he's just being a creepy shit stain.
 
A reminder that Chris Brown is still out there relatively scottfree after everything he's done (most recent are restraining orders for stalking and harrassment).



Gus Johnson de-monetized the video so he's doing this just for the message.

List of people who have recently worked with Chris Brown despite of all this: Lil Dicky, Jamie Foxx, Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, T.I, Rita Ora, 50 Cent, Pitbull, the TV show Black-ish. That's just some names in the last 3 years. I can go further back since it's been 10 years since he almost killed Rihanna.

Well he might get in real trouble this time:

although in the end probably nothing will happen...
 
Seen this thread bumped and thought it was in relation to the still unconfirmed allegations against a very high profile Irish sports star that supposedly leaked.
