I would have thought that the entertainment industry was targetted long before this incident with CM....what about Geoffrey Rush and Don Burke?
What is not nice about my post....I still stand by it. All industries need to be under scrutiny, not just those where someone has made an accusation.
These women have been brave enough to come forward, show their faces and speak out about a person whom they claim abused them and was aggressive towards them. I am guessing you didn't see the 7.30 interviews. They also spoke to senior members of Actors' Equity who stated this type of conduct is a real problem in the entertainment industry and needs to be addressed. They emphasised that entertainers are individuals who attend their workplace each day to do their job and should not have to be subjected to such abuse and threats. They added that the entertainment culture is part of the problem.
It is good for all females and victims of workplace bullying everywhere that these women chose to stand up for themselves and expose this problem. What is not nice is accusing me of picking on the entertainment industry when this thread is about that industry. It is admirable that you are concerned about this type of behaviour in all industries. However, I suspect the actions of these women will inspire other victims to come forward and deter some bullies in other industries too. Good on them.
