    Wow! Powerful, articulate truth-speaking. As someone who faced this in the workplace over twenty-five years ago, it can be so demeaning and hurtful and it stays with you. Especially when you just want to do a good job to the best of your ability. To be bound by arbitration clauses only serves to embolden perpetrators and fosters worsening outcomes for those who have no voice. I commend Ms. Dushku for taking a stand, and also to her support system for giving her a safety net to do so. Hopefully changes will be forthcoming to stop this kind of predatory practice from harming more innocent victims.

      i guess he's not so naive and besotted that he hears only her complains; She's very vocal for a woman who has never had a hand laid upon her. The frat boy humour is very unwelcome, but that's all she suffered. Some could say her contract would have been terminated long before 6 years (given the alchemy for 3 episodes, that's a given !!!). She's very lucky MeToo is en vogue. It's rare enough to come in a new workspace and make the rules, also rare they're imposed all of a sudden. Never happened to me, but happens to an actress who's been in the business forever. Weird...
      Don't get me wrong, weatherly would respect me. I guess her too if she'd made the effort. I feel the lawsuit was better. She's not top of the line and was beautiful, now, not so much. they're both pissed. instead of talking to him she plotted behind his back. Of course he's a chauvinistic pig, so what, he worked with women before and he's way more correct than Donald Trump. I'm bitterly disappointed with Eliza. She grasped the moment to make him pay.

      Slapping men around is not for fun. It can even be dangerous. But it is the only educational measure they understand on the spot. Their hand on my ass/my breast results in my hand on their cheek . Action-reaction. swift and to the point.
      Just like any attempt to humiliate us calls for a harsh repartee.
      At that point, if they haven't changed, they never will. not really. A good HR or lawsuit will teach them to be more careful but they won't miss any occasion to play with Barbie Helpless. Most just need to understand that we are not their plaything, sextoy...and that we are very much not amused by their games.
      I've escaped collective rape four times, One obsessed individual once. that is entirely different. In this case, inflicting the most damage is of the essence. Probably only one man out of four at best/worst would have followed through but was stopped by the others. They weren't able to kid themselves that "No means yes". Few are rapists, but many are abusers if like sharks, they smell blood..The "proper ways" are signs of weakness and often result in the woman being ostracised while the man gets a slap on the wrist. He needs it in his face.

      Because she's a princess, she can't be verbally pushed around ? Good thing Meghan Merkle doesn't air the laundry. I'm not saying they HAVE TO stay quiet. The real princess is classy, she handled the Windsors. Eliza is proud to remember her 30 years where she never saw anything untowards until BULL, yeah, right....
      The "harassment" she describes is no harassment at all; She can't suffer a disagreement and gets 9.5 millions.Good for her, lesson for Weatherly... In fact, it's no good to anyone. HE had training sessions, but what about the team ? The message is to mind your business and shut up. Do not assist coworkers. That's why the mentalities are slow to change. No solidarity. Where is the "if you see something, say something" among adults ?
      I'm French and the labour class is the best equipped to deal with these conflicts. Unions reps invite both parties to talk things out and investigate if they have to. It doesn't come down to who can represent himself better in the HR office. there is no payday if you sue someone. He/the employer will be punished (therapy for an individual who is not a repeat offender)but you won't touch a dime. Keeps things kosher.

      Meghan Markle doesn’t air her laundry? LOL That’s all she has been doing for the past year.
      Eliza is a very good actress and a woman who is dedicated to helping others as evidenced by her charity work. She does a lot of stuff that unlike Meghan Markle and others doesn’t get profiled on a Netflix series.
      Eliza tends to play a lot of tough characters and I believe she is a strong woman, but she’s also a sensitive and empathetic woman who genuinely wanted to have success on “Bull”. She deserved better. If I was a producer on that set and I found out what Weatherly was doing, I would have fired him, not her. I also would have fired the crew members who joined in and sent a message to the rest of the cast and crew that harassment or bullying of any kind will NOT be tolerated.
      At the end of the day, Eliza will come out on top. She’s got so many potential opportunities in movies and television whether it’s in front of the camera or behind it. Whatever she chooses to do, I support her 💯

      I'm sorry, i've worked for about 18 months with an Afghan refugee who thought he could do anything in a free country. Since most employees were migrants and he passed for a "senior" employee, and was a very good worker, they stayed discreet. He harassed whoever he deemed "weak" the most but was a pain in the ass and the teamleader's pet. Nobody was allowed to "pick on him";
      We on the other hand, were his toys. he was a houndog for any women without a ring on her hand and a scarf on her head. I had to work alone with him regularly to change lighbulbs and neons (miles of stairs and caves, and even in common areas, who cares? )What usually took a week, suddenly took 2 days !!! he grabbed me anytime he came near me. And was a real player, masochist all around. My teamleader heard us sometimes, noticed he was covered with bruises, even joked about it. Since we were together every 3 weeks, no problem. week one, with an african, was reduced to Four days anyway. Then Three; that's the price of not helping me. i let them reasonably slack, did the work and they barely grumbled more than usual about the extra work I provided, which was their work. The woman previously harassed before me (who didn't do that job)was almost left in peace; Endured more than Eliza Dushku, but that was a relief for her. Little SOB was all about me.
      All good things come to an end; our boss went on vacation and a woman got the job; the gremlin blew a fuse and showed his colours. He actually tried to threaten our new teamleader ! Among other things, like destructing our Tshirts. She talked to him, let him do as he pleased for the day and called the direction. A union rep came right away, The next day, accompanied by the HR. On day three the direction and HR came and apologised to the team, spent quality time with women to hammer the fact that we should step up. and not hesitate to talk to the real people in charge, like I did for my case. The new teamleader just confirmed and more what I had told. he harassed everyone anytime the mood struck him. Threatening the teamleader was a poor move. The gremlin was expelled instantly. His papa was reprimanded, but he let it known that he was relieved. I hear he listens more to his team now. And understands that signaling or firing people comes with being boss.

      It’s NOT...implying “your truth” as a subjective perspective on an objective truth, as if your version of events would differ from someone else’s.
      It IS...When someone experiences trauma, that trauma becomes a deeply personal part of that person and therefore for them to share that aspect of themselves authentically, to express that truth of their experience, that is them sharing their truth.
      The “truth” in question is referring to who that person is not their interpretation of some external situation.

Well, that much is true, everyone agrees. She didn't make an effort before reporting him. Nor him to work with her afterward. Schoolyard all around. I'll be glad not to see her working with someone she despises and fears whereas she was supposed to challenge him; Cote De pablo gave him bad habits. She could joyously slap him around in character. And I guess she had the vibe in real life too.

      You're familiar with real harassment.And the police doesn't do a thing if you don't press charges; we in France have two ways to do it. You're encouraged to use the first which lets the police bury the case right away. You're very discouraged to really go to justice. If your guy doesn't have money, you'll pay your lawyer. Unless He oversteps and the police has a real case. Which might involve your hospital bills in the US. That's real life. Real harassment.
      What did the police say ?
      I am really 100% with you. Be very careful. I doubt you can get him out safely. A lawyer probably would have couseled you to move out, the police too.They are right. If he's declared deranged,you won't touch a dime anyway. get out! Act cool like you want it, you agree,get packing even if you don"t know where to land. make it seem okay.
