One, of many notable comments to the article:
“I’m very confused by this Hollywood place, where a man interrupting a 19-year-old at an awards show constitutes a reason to boycott him and receives universal scorn, and at the same time, a man who raped a 13-year-old child receives a petition in support of his release.”
And so are a lot of others, in reference to the petitition: http://jezebel.com/5370356/letters-from-hollywood-roman-polanskis-rape-of-child-no-big-thing?skyline=true&s=i
This piece of patriarchal scum anally, orally, and vaginally raped a 13 year old girl child who he had drugged to semi-consciousness, in spite of her noes, stops, faking asthma, and other attempts at stopping him. And Whoopi has the gall to defend it, nor is it the first time she has defended the sexual abuse of women and children.
I never thought I’d see the day when women would actually defend a child rapist, and there are so many Hollywood women doing this.
What is it? They think Polanski will get them another movie deal? Hollywood black balls women who stand up for girls? What is this Hollywood circles the wagons to say Polanski who FLED jail time, are now thinking this was nothing?
I expect men to do this sort of thing, but don’t the women defenders of Polanski have daughters of their own? Don’t they know 9 and 12 year old girls?
