I wonder what entertainment industry is next ? I can see music being next.

And just to be clear about my last post it's that there is so much info posted on twitter within the last 12-24 hours that I've learnt more from here and other websites as to who has been accused because it's standing out amongst the general noise of twitter and other places. That was my point in general and my fault is at times I don't word things in a way that is clear.

Accused of sexual assault, rape, domestic abuse and his ex vanished in suspicious circumstances

Cornette coming out fighting

Lord TSC · 19-06-2020 1:15pm

Cornette fumbling already though. Says the fact the profile picture is his wife’s current one proves the pictures were photoshopped...which isn’t true at all if the person making the allegations still has the messages and took said screenshots recently.

I do get the instinct to fight allegations but Starr has already shown that can make things significantly worse. If allegations are false (and, being cynical, if true as well), your best bet is probably to ignore the court of public opinion and lawyer up ASAP. Wading into a twitter spat is dangerous, innocent or not,

In fairness though, there is zero in the screenshots that implicates Jim. All it shows is that his wife is trying to cheat on him (it doesn't even imply Jim knows about it)

Seriously though this is horrific stuff

leggo · 19-06-2020 1:35pm

See here’s the thing: you’ve nothing to defend if you’ve done nothing to be ashamed of. So you can learn a lot about people by how they defend themselves, Starr being a MASSIVE example of that.

I’ve thought before about, as I’m sure many of us have, what would happen if we randomly saw our name pop up with some mad, untrue allegations. And with me, because I know I’m safe from that happening because there’s nothing I’m looking to hide, I’d be like: who is this person and have I even met them? Do I remember specifics if I have or can I jog my memory somehow? The important bit: is there something that I’m forgetting that could’ve been misconstrued as something else? If it was a miscommunication, I’d be confident I could clear that up relatively quickly because I tend to have good habits anyway so the scope for what could be miscommunicated to begin with is pretty tiny. And if it was entirely false, then I’d be confident I could prove that and certain that they couldn’t prove the accusation were true (because it wouldn’t be). So while it’d be jarring to see, I’d file it under ‘a mad thing happened today’ and say I’d be able to move on confident that things will sort themselves out. If it was in court, I’d know I’d be fine because there’s nothing to prove. If it was on Twitter, I could prob use my phone to track exactly what I was doing that day and be like “uh that didn’t happen sorry, I’ll happily go along with a full investigation to prove as much if needed”. Story over.

Also I don’t think there’s this slew of insane women out there looking to make false accusations against men, particularly people like me who aren’t rich or famous or have anything of value to offer, so it’s not something worth fearing in your day to day life if you’ve a bit of cop on.

Going on the assault against an accuser, being overly-desperate to clear your name, over-explaining or trying to twist/control the narrative like Starr, blanket denial...all of these are weird ways to act if you put yourself in people’s shoes and assume their version of events that it’s not true. So yeah, you can tell a lot by how someone responds, and also how they respond to the stories to begin with: Progress’ ‘The Darkest Timeline’ statement they put out being one such alarm bell there.

That all sounds wonderfully simple in theory, but based on what I've seen on Twitter over the last 24 hours I'd suggest you are underestimating just how dangerous it could be.

There are genuine wrestling fans sharing lists of names, despite not knowing why some of those people are on the lists in the first place. There are wrestlers and fans accused of many different crimes all thrown in together, from rape and statutory rape and grooming to dick-pics, physical bullying in gyms, or just plain old being bad boyfriends.

There are disillusioned "stans" (who display worrying/problematic/obsessive behaviour at the best of times) leaving brutal abuse under Tweets, Instagram posts, YouTube videos. They're contacting other companies and businesses and imploring them to fire and blacklist anyone who's been accused.

There are brand new accounts sharing libelous anecdotes about performers, and these are being re-Tweeted by other sock-puppet accounts to get them into the "Top" tab in the Trending section.

You might well be able to clear things up and prove your innocence if it ever came to a Garda interview, but in the eyes of the Internet "there's no smoke without fire" and you'd have that cloud over you for a long, long time to come.

And proving where you were at a certain point wouldn't be much help if your accuser was someone who was all over you on a night out then you turned down or even someone you spent the night with consensually only for her to turn against you, maybe after you not calling her.

And how often do we see news making headlines and then they're proven false only for a small buried quarter column in the paper apologising for the false news? Take the recent rugby players case. It made the news daily, constantly in the cycle, then when they were found not guilty, it might have lasted 1 news cycle and that was it.

Mr.Nice Guy · 19-06-2020 3:02pm

Nah, not having the Jim Cornette stuff. Doesn't add up. Cornette has made dozens of enemies over the years to where it would certainly have emerged by now. The person alleging it said it was, quote: "EXTREMELY common knowledge among OVW alumni". Okay, then why didn't it emerge before now? I'm to believe no one said anything to Cornette's many enemies outside of OVW?

Santino, for example, was willing to try and fight him in a public place, but wouldn't it have been easier to just reveal this info? Am I supposed to believe a chap that was responsible for making the phone call that helped bring Cornette's tenure at OVW to an end, and later tried to start a physical altercation years afterwards, didn't learn of this "EXTREMELY common knowledge" in all the years subsequently? Besides, anyone that listens to Cornette knows he has huge respect for his OVW partner Danny Davis, and it's inconceivable to me that he would abuse his position like was claimed for what that fallout would mean to Davis, or is well respected Danny Davis in on the scandal too?

Just hope the chap has a good lawyer. "Call...Stephen...P....New,...if you need to sue..."

Okay so let's take that at face value: can you prove that this is a thing that actually happens to a harmful degree and that it has a detrimental effect on people's careers?

You may decide to point to Enzo, which from my memory is the only account that's proven false (an easy thing to do in false cases because the law both here and elsewhere is setup to protect innocence, therefore the accuser must prove the accusation rather than the accused prove their innocence). Well in that case:

a) That actually proves my point that it is possible to prove false allegations as such and,
b) It was harmful to his career because he chose not to disclose an ongoing police investigation to his employer as agreed he would in his contract. That's what he did wrong. If he'd have followed the process, WWE would have been powerless to release him because they can't weigh in on these things until there's a legal ruling either way. He didn't, and that fact also made him look guilty, which made his release a no-brainer. The fact that he did that AND was innocent just shows spectacular levels of poor judgement from Enzo.

Again, the paranoia people feel towards this is understandable since it IS theoretically possible that this could happen. But the negating factors in the situation also make it extremely unlikely to the point that you'd need to actually prove it's a thing that does happen rather than a thing that can happen.

We must be reading different newspapers. That case was one of the biggest news stories of the year, it only blew up for me AFTER the ruling, and their 'innocence' is still something that can be contested because even what they admit to and the way they carried on around it is shady as ****.

I don't get this viewpoint. How do you not view the DOZENS of stories along the same lines that have broken within 24 hours as a cultural issue within wrestling and instead as a series of isolated issues that coincidentally happen to follow the exact same theme?

If you view it as a cultural issue, then yes, language people use and double standards is relevant. Because that plays a big part in formulating the culture that allows this to go on for so long unchecked.

Those guys treated the female like ****. It was huge before anf after the trail.

Whether they raped her or not was debatable, but their treatment of women was appauling.

It's quite simple really, sexually abusing someone or raping a child , destroying their lives to the extent that they commit suicide is not the same as someone calling someone a slag.

That's not to say that slut shaming is not bad

Leggo, I'm not trying to get into a debate with you here. You posted earlier about how you might feel if someone ever accused you of something. You said you have nothing to worry about. I'm just describing the online reaction that I watched in real time last night. The angry mob moves fast and some of it is beyond vicious. You'd need a thick skin to get over that kind of stuff if you'd really done no evil.

It may well be that everyone named and shamed deserves to be (and some of them should be looking at prison sentences) and if that's the case then let the righteous outrage continue.

It all fits into the way the girls are treated in wrestling though, obviously there are levels, but if it plays into an open and honest discussion then now is the time to drag it into the light.

There are a lot of lads today patting themselves on the back because they didn't abuse anyone, but is that really where we want to set the bar.....

Not everyone would have an even mind to be able reason and deduce if they were in that position. In fact I'm sure many would have an initial gut reaction to come out fighting.

There is no right way to defend yourself. To you silence would be dignified but to some other clown they would take it as a sign of guilt. All you can do is hope the facts speak for themselves and that you and your family get through it without too much mental trauma.

I didn't mean that story as such in the papers, but if they print something wrong, retractions are buried.
As for the case, I only heard it on the radio to and from work and the number of days they would report on it compared to the number of days they gave the outcome.
Just in general, how often have you heard of people being accused of something only to hear they're innocent? Like until I recently went looking out of curiosity, I never knew the accusations against Enzo were found to be false

The issue is men treating women as objects and believing they are entitled to sex, with the sexual act thus commodified, decontextualised and "separated" from the individual. This manifests itself in the ultimate form as severe sexual abuse like we are discussing here. At a lower level it leaves behind a trail of emotional hurt and damage for all involved even though this sexual promiscuity can be celebrated and encouraged by other men. Just look at Ric Flair (if we are sticking to wrestling).

Should women behave in a similar way they are "slut shamed".

The solution is not to equally celebrate and promote this behaviour in women (which is far far rarer) the same way it is in men and wash our hands and say all is well.

Society needs to have a good look at itself and how it treats the sexual act and the context of same. But I don't think society is ready for that, or wants to do that.

That conversation didn't read like two people who knew each other but maybe they do. The speed and amount of allegations is what gets me. It's weird that session moth martina and Jordan devlin appear to be very close friends and she didn't seem to know about any of his alleged conduct. I don't know but I'll be staying off social media for the weekend and checking here.

I will listen to Jim cornettes podcasts this weekend as he is bound to address the allegations against him and his wife and see what other info he can provide because he is a guy who in the past if someone like a wrestler makes a allegation against him he seems to keep receipts as it were and is quick to put the story straight in those situations.

The wrestling scene is apparently full of toxic chauvinist scum bags. Meanwhile Twitter, at the best of times, is full of the #metoo brigade who’d easily class regret sex as rape.

What I’m saying is, it’s dangerous to blindly just believe anyone. Your hero might have a great gimmick and be able to do a 450 splash. Doesn’t mean they can’t be a creepy abuser. Same way someone in a relationship might have had a less than stellar time with their ex doesn’t necessarily equate to that partner being a sex offender.

But who does this refer to in this discussion? Like I haven’t seen one case where ‘regret sex’ is even valid. David Starr? He admitted that it was what he called ‘grey rape’, and that was while trying to still spin the narrative that he was not a rapist, so even that is likely a really slanted view of what happened and it’s not pretty. Other ex-girlfriends (whose experiences he himself validated) have backed up this behaviour from him so if you were to spin it as every single one of them had the same individual experience where they regretted having sex once then spun it as rape...I dunno man, I find that extremely unlikely. I’d say it’s much more likely the chap is just a cnut who admits himself he treats women like crap and has a history of misinterpreting consent.

I seen Justin Roberts and bull James mentioned too

It is truley astounding of just how many stories are coming out here

Riddle messages were fakes apparently. Her original screenshots had a Remove Ads thing in the corner from some fake message maker App. She deleted them and cropped it out but if you look in the comments the originals are there from people who noticed it.

This whole situation is insane. What other industry has this?!? Maybe the music scene but to this scale?!

Only a matter of time before WWE main roster starts getting hit.

The Ashley Masaro to story from a few years ago is grim

Just so I'm clear the messages alledging what he'd done are apparently fake ? Insane is one word to describe it. It's why I never take anything on social media at face value, and I'm not just taking about wrestling. Yes, what some have admitted doing is very very serious but also alleedgedly faking messages is as bad. It's a very serious allegation.

This reminds me of the scandal in the porn industry 4/5 years ago when an actress came out saying she was raped by a major star in the industry and in the same manner stories poured out on social media.

How Stoya took on James Deen and broke the porn industry's silence

In the few days since Stoya’s tweets, eight other women have also gone public. Tori Lux, Ashley Fires, Amber Rayne, Kora Peters, Nicki Blue, Lily LaBeau, and a woman writing as T.M., all say Deen has assaulted them, too. In the aftermath of those allegations, Deen’s career is crumbling. (He has not commented on any of them, to any of the outlets that have approached him.) Porn companies severed ties and website The Frisky killed his column for ever. Fans razed his GIFs from Tumblr. A sex toy in his likeness was pulled from production.

Aye, that's how this works; everyone gets their bit in.
