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.”

From the OP's link

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

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 5:03pm

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

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

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 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.

If it was a one off pass then I could cut him some slack, but he was a pest for 5 weeks according to the Hollywood reporter. Snippet below.

Its worth a read for anyone on the fence about this.

Today, when I was walking Dustin to his limo, he felt my ass four times. I hit him each time, hard, and told him he was a dirty old man. He took off his hat and pointed to his head (shaved for the part) and said, "No, I'm a dirty young man, I have a full head of hair." So would Bob have fired me if he'd seen me hit Dustin?

You might be right. Here's another one:

lifeandtimes · 01-11-2017 5:31pm

I have a theory that all the woman and least known actors of Hollywood got together and brain stormed this whole sexual harassment,assault and rape thing just to get the big powerful men out of the spot light to free up more female lead roles in bigger pictures.

So many accusations coming out now it's like a tidal wave

With all the men gone it's only the woman and now big actors to do the movies.

Very clever indeed.

You can call it bad taste in humour. There isn't even a scale here let alone it being lower.

He was just someone playing up the big man with those around him. I don't get how you see him as such an influencer with power, when he's been widely known to be affected by feedback from a costume department. He's been one very much to respond to those around him.

A Little Pony · 01-11-2017 5:36pm

Hillary worked all her life to be President. This myth that Hillary somehow has better morals than Trump should be debunked. I have always thought she is worse than Trump and still do. She played a key role in the mess which is now Libya. Even bragged about it which is on Youtube for all to see.

Grabbing someone 31 years your younger by the arse on top of the very inappropriate "jokes" put this on the scale.
