Ben Affleck sexually assaulted TRL host in 2003: report

[Awonder]

Tinfoill hat time! Some one is really going hard on this movie....

Now people are flipping over a "rape joke" Aquaman made years ago.

come on, this is not a coincidence, right?

So, are we still pretending that the timing of these "controversies" involving Ben Affleck and Jason Momoa is just a HUGE "coincidence"?

Ok, let me get this straight.

Ben Affleck sexually harassed/assaults a young woman. Jason Momoa makes a horribly distasteful "joke," in public, that glamorizes rape.

But, you're both concerned more about the "coincidence" of the timing?

And, why is "controversies" in parentheses?

Does the timing stink for JL? Yes. But, isn't it less likely that this is resurfacing now because of the movie release date or more likely due to the press coverage of the Harvey Scumbag case and the attention it shines on the sexism that still permeates Hollywood in general?

More important, does the timing really matter? These can't resurface, "coincidentally" or not, if they never happened.

At least, to Jason Momoa's credit, while his "joke" was way out of line, he owns it. His apology seems informed and heartfelt.

Anyone who thinks Disney can somehow controll all of Hollywood and mainstream media to take down justice league is rediculous. Apparently Disney controls the world while Warner Bros hides in the corner in this fantasy.


The Mamoa thing is dumb and ive yet to hear someone talk about outside that article. Its gonna go away quick. Affleks image is probaly in serious danger though. Which sucks casue i think he has alot of potential as batman if they stop putting him in **** movies.

Are you still pretending you're not a victim blaming *******?

Don't you know you can't flippantly joke about playing pretend. The comic-con thing is pretty funny, that's a video that's been around and been public for a long time.

People just love to be outraged now though.

GamerGaters did it all the time without getting suspended.

You have a source for that?

In a thread the deals with ONE DUDE being so powerful that he was allowed to sexual harass and assault people for years, you think it's ridiculous to say that a company could be launching a couple tactical strikes against against a competitor?

Yeah, because this is real life and not some conspiracy movie

Yeah, it is pretty funny how someone could think Disney couldn't do something like that when a whole lot of this news is about Harvey Weinstein (who worked for Disney for years) doing that very thing.

Although it's probably more likely that random "journalist" see it as a good time to attack such and such person because they've go a big movie coming out.

Trying to bring up some inter studio rivalry into this is thinking way too hard about it, and in poor taste at that

Harvey Weinstein has been front page news since the New Yorker story broke, and will continue to be so for probably weeks, any story involved, connected, or similar too is therefore also front page news, therefore when a journalist sees one of those stories they'll pounce on it and it'll be bigger news than it might have been before, that's how the news cycle works.

I have a feeling Ben will be out as Batman soon.

And in this conspiracy WBs is some helpless victim who cant fight back. Disney might be the most powerful studio but WBs isnt some helpless victim. This Afflek thing seems to be legit but the Mamoa thing was someone just looking to be outraged. If they could find stuff on the marvel actors they would be out there right now too. Its open season on any indiscretion. Most deserving and some just stupid like the Mamoa thing
