Dustin Hoffman - “I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am."

That's an admission of guilt alright.

HOLLYWOOD ACTOR DUSTIN Hoffman has been accused of sexually harassing a 17-year-old intern during the filming of the 1985 film Death of a Salesman.

Author Anna Graham Hunter told The Hollywood Reporter that Hoffman grabbed her backside and made inappropriate comments on the set of the television film.

Here’s an example of one incident given by Hunter:

“When I was a senior in high school in New York City, interning as a production assistant on the set of the Death of a Salesman TV film, he asked me to give him a foot massage my first day on set; I did.

He was openly flirtatious, he grabbed my ass, he talked about sex to me and in front of me. One morning I went to his dressing room to take his breakfast order; he looked at me and grinned, taking his time. Then he said, ‘I’ll have a hard-boiled egg … and a soft-boiled clitoris.’
“His entourage burst out laughing. I left, speechless. Then I went to the bathroom and cried.”

She's a bit soft I'd say, wouldn't take much to start off the water works

He was 48 at the time.

If it's true, he's a dirtbag.

A missquoted joke from a female comedian, who said something along the lines of "rumours of him revealing himself was like a female comedian on tour."

I was thinking, sure he could only have been in his 20's, but he's fecking 80 now. Holy crap.

Yeah that's lecherous as **** but still very much on the lower end of the scale of what's come out in recent years.

DaeryssaOne · 01-11-2017 05:03PM

Oh man, not Dustin! I have always liked him and thought he seemed like one of the good guys...:(

Very little surprise here. As another poster said a couple of days ago Hollywood is a huge cesspit.

Exactly. With the incumbent president we don't need him with photos of lecherous celebrities given he is one himself.

He chose not to deny it

Obviously means there's more

To me they sound like some stupid jokes where he seemed to be showing off in front of others. it speaks more about the social scene there at the time, than the individual in my opinion.

A big name at BBC sport before too long

Maybe more than him

There goes any chance of Rain Man 2.

A 48 yo movie star talking to a 17 yo intern like that is a gross abuse of power. Like I said it's on the lower scale of things that have come out but it's still pretty bad. Of course it was "at the time" and there is a little bit of merit in that, but the reason it was like that at the time was because of people like Hoffman making it like that. He held the power and he choose to be a creep.

I'm still amazed there's not been bigger names in football, both in terms of the clubs and the actual personalities.

Long forgotten obese old woman Roseanne Barr said something about him.

It was of a sexual nature and therefore true.

Not quite Hollywood but Dr.Ciara Kelly claims she is aware of a well know Irish media personaility who raped several women. She herself claims he tried it on with her and sent her private messages that amounted to sexual harassment. She is seeking his victims and is trying to organise his outing on Twitter at the moment. Ive no ideas of who it might be, all that she said is that he is in his 60s, has a national profile and is on Twitter.

quick grab your pitch forks, it's Dustin Hoffman now.
