so. this morning, the Atlantic published an exposé about Bryan Singer.
quick summary: hes a predator. has been since he was in his late 20's, early 30 when he entered his first power position over minors in the 90's.
and the thing is- as I've read the article and took in the details- the worst part of it was that I knew he was like this for years. Like, obviously not the full details and power trips he dealt with that had been described in the article, but I knew about his abuse patterns and certain other allegations.
I don't have any connections to the entertainment industry- I just read the articles in sites that are not as in the pockets of major entertainment companies like the other mainstream sites. and you should know- these sities for years havent hold as many barriers certain other sites have had in keeping the allegations in the DL.
as the new wave of major celebrities that have been in the industry for years deny that they didn't know about Singer just like they did with r.kelly, kevin spacey, and Harvey weinsten- I truly just can't help but to just roll my eyes. random folks from LA have known about spacey and weinsten for decades, and r.kelly? the public have known for ages.
I know that the artists/celebrities can't come out to say 'yeah I just wanted a career' because that will kill them to their fanbases who idolize them, but whenever I see a celebrity thats in the industry deny they didn't know....I do wish they would just keep their pretty faces and acting chops away from the subject. or maybe just have a serious talk with their PR.
