General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Butters]

I really need to watch Buffy

 

[Chris]

You guys ever wonder why Eliza Dushku hasn't been in a movie since 2017?

popular actress suddenly not booked anymore usually points to she got blackballed for not having sex with someone

 

[Chris]

In January 2019, CBS made a $9.5 million settlement with Dushku after she was fired from a recurring role on Bull, after informing producers of series lead Michael Weatherly's alleged inappropriate behavior on the set. According to documents from the official mediation, Weatherly was recorded on video making comments about spanking Dushku over his knee, soliciting a threesome, alluding to sexual assault in his "rape van," and other inappropriate jokes. After Dushku spoke with the producers, Weatherly texted CBS Television Studios' president David Stapf saying he wanted to talk about Dushku's sense of humor, though Stapf pushed back saying "Ms. Dushku made the show better." Days later, showrunner Glenn Caron terminated Dushku's expected role on the show, despite opposition from studio executives.

[Butters]

[Butters]

[Butters]

I always thought her and the girl from The Girl Next Door would go pretty far.

 

[Chris]

Yeah you tend to get fired if you speak up against sexual assault, something about punishing you for trying to cancel someone I guess

 

[Butters]

sick world we live in

 

[Butters]

this guy I work with last night was talking about how women need to learn their place and get in the kitchen while he himself is a housekeeper.

 

[Butters]

I told him in his simple mind isn't housekeeping considered a "womans job"

 

[Chris]

If you don't have sex with creepy guys in power, you're woke and there's nothing worse than that

 

[Butters]

[Butters]
