Nobody is saying that James Woods groped them. They’re simply saying he propositioned them or made sexual feedback.
I didn’t even notice that was banned already.
Oh, wait – yeah I did. That outdated Italian man received kicked off of “Fall of the Home of Usher” for making jokes. Nope, wait, simply regarded it up – he was additionally accused of touching a girl’s leg.
Fairly certain this Woods case is the primary case of somebody getting metoo’d completely for feedback.

In accordance with Lyonne, whereas they have been filming the scene, “[Woods] was like, ‘I can inform even with the make-up, you’re a spinner, proper?’” prompting shocked reactions from O’Brien and his co-hosts. (Lyonne was 22 years outdated when Scary Film 2 premiered, although it’s unclear how outdated she was when she filmed the film.)
Lyonne’s account of Woods’ creepy on-set habits is simply the most recent call-out towards the As soon as Upon a Time in America actor. Again in 2017, actress Amber Tamblyn accused Woods of hitting on her when she was 16 years outdated.

As for Lyonne’s feedback on O’Brien’s podcast, Woods has but to reply. The unsettling anecdote got here after Lyonne advised O’Brien about initially filming the identical scene with Marlon Brando, who was later changed by Woods. Although Brando was finally reduce from the movie, Lyonne was the final particular person to work with the legendary actor previous to his loss of life in 2004.
It simply retains escalating.
If now you can be metoo’d for attempting to select up sluts, what’s subsequent?
I feel the reply is “he was taking a look at me once I didn’t need him to take a look at me.”
