Wow. Mindy Kaling openly bragging about sexually harassing co-workers and using her position to threaten people with their jobs. That's messed up. Just because it was improvised doesn't make it okay.
I hear about actors improvising kisses all the time, but they talk about it first and mutually agree to do it, not one spontaneously attacking the other person with their saliva without their consent. Some actors even have like a “no kissing” clause in their contracts. I doubt anyone would have been laughing if she was a man. She’s so gross
@@8tsunami7 It would still be possible in a different context, since sexual assault can happen for reasons other than sexual gratification. Let's say Actor A has hostility towards Actor B, and decides to forcibly kiss them as "joke" to get a reaction.
I don't think "blackmail" is the right term (I think that would something like if he told her "Get me a raise, or I'm going to tell people you sexually assaulted me."), but yeah.
@@as3957it is blackmail in the sense that SHE is the one blackmailing HIM. Her actions were “if you oppose me, I’ll have you fired. If you don’t, I won’t fire you.

Kaling is not a feminist. She doesn't care about consent. She thinks this is a funny story, that this somehow makes her look like a girlboss, rather than a creepy pervert who abuses her power, and uses humour to sanitise that fact.
@@JustapErson So true. People have turned the feminist movement from women = men to women > men. So much so that people associate feminism with misandry. That's why people like Sienna Mae Gomez and Mindy Kaling were able to get away with what they did with zero retribution besides a slightly lowered reputation.

She’s a writer on that show. So she is able to write herself into having scenes laying in bed with handsome men who are just there to do a scene. Then not write that she’s going to kiss them in the script. Then “improvise” what she wants to do with them. Then threaten to fire anybody for mentioning anything about it. It’s really sick to think that she plans these things out that way
What's worse is that she thinks it's ok and funny to joke about it on late night TV because he didn't complain, as if he wasn't scared of complaining about it because Mindy Kaling was a "fire friendly" boss.
And this everyone, is why it is important to have intimacy coordinators. So shit like this doesn’t happen. It does not matter the gender of the actor, nobody should experience workplace harassment.

It's sexual harrassment whether Lee (or anyone) publically says it is or not.

Probably not. And that's not cool. It's not behaviour to be encouraged or dismissed/ignored.

Intimacy scenes are one thing you don't improvise ever (unless you and your co-actor establish it's okay which is only really possible when you know each other very well). This is why we have intimacy coordinators. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and the way it's talked about in this context is sick.

Just wanted to say that this is not okay. If we do not accept such behaviour from men then such behaviour should not be accepted from women even though I can understand that it is hard to control yourself in front of someone like Lee Pace.. This is not okay.
women: it's hard to control yourself in front of someone like Lee Pace feminist: i know right tee hee men: it's hard to control yourself in front of someone like Gal Gadot feminists: call the police!!!! #Metoo for GAL!!!! EQUAL RIGHTS!!!
Tbf I had no idea who Mindy Kaling was till this year but she's already lost my respect. If the roles had been reversed, along with that "tell anyone and you're fired" line, it would have been part of the MeToo movement. It goes both ways and she was in the wrong here
@@jones2277 If the roles were reversed. If it was a boring sort of work situation, and not actors, it would have been sexual harrassment, plain and simple. She had power over him in the sense that SHE was the lead, and yes, probably had some control over hiring. It's never OK, no matter which gender has the power.
@@BikingWIthPanda I'm pretty sure the only time a "spontaneous kiss" is allowed is when you have a crush for them or if they are a long time friend who doesn't mind that kind of stuff. Kissing a co worker out of the blue though? That'd fall under sexual harassment. If someone did that to Mindy and she didn't find them to be pretty, I'm pretty sure she'd sue the hell out of them.
Does she know the word " consent " ? It's valable for both men and women, thats just irrespectfull and creepy. We don't kiss someone without permission. You're not living in "the sleeping beauty", darling .
@@8tsunami7 Ah yes, because that is a completely relevant and valid counter-argument to what was just said... #1. A hypothetical does not require a person's *character* to be involved unless specifically stated by the proposer of the hypothetical. Meaning (for the sake of idiots like you) that him being gay is completely irrelevant as you could just as easily replace him with some random straight man off the street and *NOTHING* about the entire point being made *by* the hypothetical changes in the least. #2. Gay people *CAN* still physically sexually assault women. So even if Lee Pace, personally, *wouldn't* do it, he still categorically possesses the *physical capacity* TO do it. Which means that the hypothetical still stands completely unmoved by your ignorant comment. #3. Hitler wouldn't open up a flower shop, but that doesn't stop me from using it as a hypothetical to make a point about hypotheticals, now does it? Go fail miserably at something else *somewhere* else. You are of no value here, unless you are willing to admit a severe mistake on your part and learn from the experience.
@@8tsunami7 Not in this context, obviously, but it's important to remember that people can commit sexual assault for reasons other than sexual gratification. For male-on-male crimes, I think fraternity hazing can be sexual, and for a hypothetical scenario like this, some people seem to think sexual harassment is a prank.
Watched this because I thought they had a movie together that I didn't know of and it's like those kind of "what is it like to work with_" interviews but ended up watching something really awful. CONSENT IS A MUST, no reason/excuse is ever justifiable when it comes to matters like that.
You aren't even addressing the worst part. Her facing no repercussions and knowingly so. As she tells it in a humorous way and only gets laughs in return. You love talking about the patriarchy and how it benefits men, but you always dismiss and ignore the fact that women are basically unimpeachable and can get scot-free with doing ANYTHING with no legal nor societal repercussions in this supposedly misogynist society. How does that track with the imposed narrative? It doesn't, that's why you don't address it.
You can hear the double standard with the women yelling when they show his picture. Didn't know "improvising" is a synonym for sexual harassment. "No one said anything. No one reported anything." After I told them "Tell anyone and you're fired." How is this ok??? As a man I am so sick of this.
@@ShinMail6164 what? Where is the patriarchy in this situation? Because if it was an actual patriarchy do you think she would be working still? Hell she would be in prison. I love when a woman does something to a man it is still the fault of men and the woman is blameless no matter what.
@@keithkoganeislife3144 Bro, it’s the patriarchy’s fault, but not the man’s fault. Both men and women suffer bad consequences from the patriarchal society we live in. The patriarchy teaches us that men are dominant while women are submissive and therefore implicitly tell men they cannot be hurt by women, ie they gotta “men up.” OTHER men have downplayed sexually harassed men for this exact reason. Men cannot voice up about emotional abuse they get from their wives because people don’t believe a man can get hurt because of patriarchy. So long you don’t understand, you won’t be able to fight it. It’s a joint effort.
That line in Velma about “telling it straight, like comedians before #MeToo” was already gross but in the context of this video it’s like… uhhhh damn lol
"Teehee I sexually assaulted my employee and threatened to fire him afterwards, but its ok Im cooky." *Audience bursts into laughter* and this is why our socierty is so broken, double standards.
It’s fucked up to force a gay man to kiss you, then threaten co-workers with being fired after they inform you that you crossed a legal and ethical boundary
Wow. I know women who have found themselves in similar situations and felt they just had to laugh it off even though they were disgustingly humiliated by the experience. What an awful woman.
Ever since I saw this interview, it got stuck inside my head. Now that things were surfacing, I felt bad for Lee Pace. When you watch the scene in the series, he looks shocked but is gracious enough to continue acting the scene.
I think it's justified, since we're hating on her for sexually assaulting someone. And don't think I knew about what she did before people started writing articles about it in relation to the recent backlash against this that started after Velma.
I thought Mindy hated being a daily victim of sexual harassment when she was one in two female writers of The Office on a staff of 14 writers. So why would she let all her power in The Mindy Project go to her head until she begins to become what she hates? Why would Mindy Kaling alienate her remaining fans by turning the Velma series and her bizarro Velma character into a mouthpiece against all of the high school drama and crime drama cliches that she hates? 😢I think she wants to entertain nobody and ruin Velma Dinkley for everybody. January 20, 2023, 11:14am
Ah ha ha, this one time, I sexually assaulted a coworker, ha ha, and then I told anyone that saw that they would be fired if they said anything ha ha, I'm a good person.
You don't? That's because you haven't been listening. You know damn well why it is. It just doesn't track with the imposed narrative that we live in a patriarchy. Women have benn able to get no repercussion for their actions, including their crimes, for a long time and they know it. That's why she told this in a humorous way in TV... You know damn well why people were cheering her up. It's called female privilege, you just like to deny it exists and pretend we live in a misogyinist society..
Yeah, has everything to do with the fact that he's a guy and very little to do with the fact that he's ultra-rich and has a shitload of influence 🙄 Also, great way to deflect from the issue at hand.
Lee being alright with this is nice and all but people need to realize that Mindy could’ve done this to someone that was NOT alright with it. Don’t kiss someone unless you know they won’t mind.
"it's fine because no one reported it" like after she said she threatened to fire him (and the audience applauded????) like this is literally insane >.< actors should be professional. There's a difference between improv and this crap :/
Gotta love how “offended” these women were at this woman proudly sharing a story in which she took advantage of a fellow actor because he was “sooo attractive”
@@Olivia-ek9ib I do'nt know he didn't sound very comfortable to me. That joke at the ends seemed to be trying to lighten the mood, and shift focus away from her.
She do that to a man and everyone laughs, but if she was telling this same story but instead she was the one who was kissed, everyone would be serious. We are definetely living in a society!
Imagine the level of entitlement and privilege here. To openly brag about this, and in such a cynical and legitimately awkward way. Replay it in your head without Conan saving her with his quips.
By demonizing men, we have led to this - she is not even ashamed, she has committed two crimes (who knows how many she does not admit) and she is still happy about it. She is self-centered and has no remorse for what she has done! If a man did this, he would lose his freedom, career, money and probably family! She should be punished the same as any guy who committed same crimes!
late to this one and some have said similar things, but if the gender roles were reversed here there's a strong chance this would have blown up, the guy would likely be labeled as horrible with lawsuits following and likely a shutdown in production. Could be way off but in summation, this isn't cool.
it could have happened that way, with this event. the roles don't need to be reversed. however, Lee didn't file anything. she never faced any charges because he didn't think there were anything to charge for.
He didn't complain about it. nobody said anything. it's fine. Didn't get reported.. that doesn't mean it wasn't sexual harassment. such double standard BS
Any touch or physical contact must be cleared by both parties in a scene (improvisation too must be cleared like what are your boundaries and what are you comfortable with and not comfortable with) and blocked and explained by an intimacy coach. These are professional actors who often have lives outside of acting like having partners and families. This is a massive violation on any film set let alone a sag union job.
Yep that is definitely fucked up. But guys are just supposed to be fine with it. Not only should you NOT complain but you also have to laugh about it and pretend you enjoy it as well.
I suppose we can always hope that the situation wasn't as ethically bankrupt as it sounded, and that Lee was cool with it, but come on consent people. Consent is key.
"Tell anyone and you're fired" is some Weinstein-level shit.
Except that she's a woman, so no "metoo" activist will say anything and it's totally OK, double standards and hypocrisy at it's finest in Hollywood.

Just wanted to say that this is not okay. If we do not accept such behaviour from men then such behaviour should not be accepted from women even though I can understand that it is hard to control yourself in front of someone like Lee Pace.. This is not okay.
women: it's hard to control yourself in front of someone like Lee Pace
feminist: i know right tee hee
men: it's hard to control yourself in front of someone like Gal Gadot
feminists: call the police!!!! #Metoo for GAL!!!! EQUAL RIGHTS!!!
@@Mhats anyone who truly believes in feminism recognizes how gross she is in this situation

Tbf I had no idea who Mindy Kaling was till this year but she's already lost my respect. If the roles had been reversed, along with that "tell anyone and you're fired" line, it would have been part of the MeToo movement. It goes both ways and she was in the wrong here
obviously it was a joke, otherwise she wouldn't have said it on a talk show!
People need to lighten up on both sides!
it's only sexual harassment if Lee sees it that way. if he comes forward and says he felt violated, then let's revisit this conversation.
@@jones2277 If the roles were reversed. If it was a boring sort of work situation, and not actors, it would have been sexual harrassment, plain and simple. She had power over him in the sense that SHE was the lead, and yes, probably had some control over hiring. It's never OK, no matter which gender has the power.
@@jones2277 people like u are the problem
I don’t care how hot the guy is, you don’t kiss anyone out of the blue like that
And don't joke about like it was an innocent mistake!
actually, spontaneously kissing someone is how it's supposed to happen. you don't ask first, lol
@@BikingWIthPanda Maybe in a relationship, but not in a rehearsal.
@@BikingWIthPanda I'm pretty sure the only time a "spontaneous kiss" is allowed is when you have a crush for them or if they are a long time friend who doesn't mind that kind of stuff.
Kissing a co worker out of the blue though? That'd fall under sexual harassment. If someone did that to Mindy and she didn't find them to be pretty, I'm pretty sure she'd sue the hell out of them.
@@loren5432 even if it is a crush or friend you should definitely ask first.
Does she know the word " consent " ?
It's valable for both men and women, thats just irrespectfull and creepy.
We don't kiss someone without permission.
You're not living in "the sleeping beauty", darling .
Damn it mindy, we're trying to get people to STOP doing that.
People? Not really, you are only trying to sop men from doing that. When it's women, you don't care.
If it would be Lee who kissed her he'd already be in jail for sexual harassment.
Lee is gay, he wouldn't do that.
@@8tsunami7
Ah yes, because that is a completely relevant and valid counter-argument to what was just said...
#1. A hypothetical does not require a person's *character* to be involved unless specifically stated by the proposer of the hypothetical.
Meaning (for the sake of idiots like you) that him being gay is completely irrelevant as you could just as easily replace him with some random straight man off the street and *NOTHING* about the entire point being made *by* the hypothetical changes in the least.
#2. Gay people *CAN* still physically sexually assault women.
So even if Lee Pace, personally, *wouldn't* do it, he still categorically possesses the *physical capacity* TO do it. Which means that the hypothetical still stands completely unmoved by your ignorant comment.
#3. Hitler wouldn't open up a flower shop, but that doesn't stop me from using it as a hypothetical to make a point about hypotheticals, now does it?
Go fail miserably at something else *somewhere* else. You are of no value here, unless you are willing to admit a severe mistake on your part and learn from the experience.
@@8tsunami7 Not in this context, obviously, but it's important to remember that people can commit sexual assault for reasons other than sexual gratification. For male-on-male crimes, I think fraternity hazing can be sexual, and for a hypothetical scenario like this, some people seem to think sexual harassment is a prank.
Mindy Kaling talking about her assault of Lee Pace. Fixed the title.
Watched this because I thought they had a movie together that I didn't know of and it's like those kind of "what is it like to work with_" interviews but ended up watching something really awful. CONSENT IS A MUST, no reason/excuse is ever justifiable when it comes to matters like that.
You aren't even addressing the worst part. Her facing no repercussions and knowingly so. As she tells it in a humorous way and only gets laughs in return.
You love talking about the patriarchy and how it benefits men, but you always dismiss and ignore the fact that women are basically unimpeachable and can get scot-free with doing ANYTHING with no legal nor societal repercussions in this supposedly misogynist society.
How does that track with the imposed narrative? It doesn't, that's why you don't address it.
“Tell anyone and you’re fired”, seriously how does someone say that and not think they’re the bad guy?
You can hear the double standard with the women yelling when they show his picture. Didn't know "improvising" is a synonym for sexual harassment. "No one said anything. No one reported anything." After I told them "Tell anyone and you're fired." How is this ok??? As a man I am so sick of this.
"Improvised kissing him"
I've never heard such a sugarcoated way of admitting to sexual assualt
Another classic example of a woman detailing sexually harassing a guy and everyone just laughing about it.
That's the power of patriarchy man. It's so sad
@@ShinMail6164 what? Where is the patriarchy in this situation? Because if it was an actual patriarchy do you think she would be working still? Hell she would be in prison. I love when a woman does something to a man it is still the fault of men and the woman is blameless no matter what.
@@keithkoganeislife3144 Probably irony. Because the patriarchy is so strong that women can hurt men with no consequences
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 yes, people think women can't assault/hurt men which is not true
@@keithkoganeislife3144 Bro, it’s the patriarchy’s fault, but not the man’s fault. Both men and women suffer bad consequences from the patriarchal society we live in. The patriarchy teaches us that men are dominant while women are submissive and therefore implicitly tell men they cannot be hurt by women, ie they gotta “men up.” OTHER men have downplayed sexually harassed men for this exact reason. Men cannot voice up about emotional abuse they get from their wives because people don’t believe a man can get hurt because of patriarchy. So long you don’t understand, you won’t be able to fight it. It’s a joint effort.
That line in Velma about “telling it straight, like comedians before #MeToo” was already gross but in the context of this video it’s like… uhhhh damn lol
"Teehee I sexually assaulted my employee and threatened to fire him afterwards, but its ok Im cooky." *Audience bursts into laughter* and this is why our socierty is so broken, double standards.
It’s fucked up to force a gay man to kiss you, then threaten co-workers with being fired after they inform you that you crossed a legal and ethical boundary
Wow, I didn't even know he was gay... that probably makes this situation even worse. Shame on her. Needs to be held accountable.
@@t.castro4493 Yup, he got married to his boyfriend just over a year ago.
@@t.castro4493 No, he stated that he had dated both men and women and described himself only as "queer", not "gay"
This is pretty messed up if you think about it
Jane Doe It really is. Specially if you reverse the roles. It wouldn't be a cute story, it would be plain creepy
+dkyk00 Exactly.
Extremely
Wow. I know women who have found themselves in similar situations and felt they just had to laugh it off even though they were disgustingly humiliated by the experience. What an awful woman.
Ever since I saw this interview, it got stuck inside my head. Now that things were surfacing, I felt bad for Lee Pace. When you watch the scene in the series, he looks shocked but is gracious enough to continue acting the scene.
Why are people calling this sexual harassment? It was sexual assault. She assaulted him. Kissing someone against their will is assault.
I think people are getting the terms mixed up with each other.
And people wonder why the show Velma thinks the cure for a panic attack is a big old non-consensual smooch.
“Then I raped him :)”
*Conan looks at camera and gives a shocked expression*
*Crowd roars with laughter*
I can honestly see that happening. The weirdest part is people will probably still make excuses for her
If you listen it’s mostly girls laughing
Ugh! I can’t believe some girls

We all know if the roles were reversed and this was done by a man instead his existence would literally be obliterated to oblivion.
This makes THAT joke on her Velma show so much worse lmao 🤢
Did we all literally come back here to hate on Mindy Kaling again after the Velma Show was released? 💀💀
Well I just learnt of this, so no. Didn't even know who she was till Velma came out.
Also, if nothing came of this then yeah, it's perfectly understandable. Velma is a vile racist show that should've never been made.
I think it's justified, since we're hating on her for sexually assaulting someone. And don't think I knew about what she did before people started writing articles about it in relation to the recent backlash against this that started after Velma.
How is everyone laughing at this? How was this considered to be okay? Even by 2017 standards, this is considered harassment, what the hell man
If the roles were reversed...
I would have let it happen , hell yea Lee pace!
Exactly.
@@bethanychatman9531 Without consent, it's sexual harassment. Mindy is disgusting.
I thought Mindy hated being a daily victim of sexual harassment when she was one in two female writers of The Office on a staff of 14 writers. So why would she let all her power in The Mindy Project go to her head until she begins to become what she hates? Why would Mindy Kaling alienate her remaining fans by turning the Velma series and her bizarro Velma character into a mouthpiece against all of the high school drama and crime drama cliches that she hates? 😢I think she wants to entertain nobody and ruin Velma Dinkley for everybody.

I think there are a lot of cases where the same person is both a victim and offender, unfortunately.
@@as3957that’s the cycle of abuse for ya. Hurt people go on to hurt people.
Yeah forgive me, but after hearing this, I have zero trust in her that anything actually went on.
Ah ha ha, this one time, I sexually assaulted a coworker, ha ha, and then I told anyone that saw that they would be fired if they said anything ha ha, I'm a good person.
LMFAO
I don't understand why the hell were people cheering her up... Wtf 😑
WhAmAn can do no harm
You don't? That's because you haven't been listening. You know damn well why it is. It just doesn't track with the imposed narrative that we live in a patriarchy.
Women have benn able to get no repercussion for their actions, including their crimes, for a long time and they know it. That's why she told this in a humorous way in TV...
You know damn well why people were cheering her up. It's called female privilege, you just like to deny it exists and pretend we live in a misogyinist society..
But if a guy did that..... he'd be the next U.S. president
Grab 'em by the pussy!
yooooooo this comment went a different way than I was expecting. I like.
Yeah, has everything to do with the fact that he's a guy and very little to do with the fact that he's ultra-rich and has a shitload of influence 🙄
Also, great way to deflect from the issue at hand.

"Tell anyone and you're fired"
She told, so she's fired
Nope she has narcissistic personality disorder , she thinks she is above everything
I cannot understand why the hell people laughs about this? Sexual harassment or abuse is not a f*cking joke.
Just imagine if a guy celebrity said what she said!

Double standard?

Man does = CANCELLED
Wow this needs to be blasted on social media. Absolutely insane.
"it's fine because no one reported it" like after she said she threatened to fire him (and the audience applauded????) like this is literally insane >.< actors should be professional. There's a difference between improv and this crap :/
publicly admitting to sexual harass and threatening to fire her workers? yikes, not a good look
Please Lee, sue her for everything she has and bring her to court. Do it for the whole of society, we'll be much better off when she's behind bars
Gotta love how “offended” these women were at this woman proudly sharing a story in which she took advantage of a fellow actor because he was “sooo attractive”

@@TOAOM123 my apologies, thou art correct
This is literally sexual assault.

Wondering how Conan felt in that situation but if you are the host of a comedy show, sometimes the best thing to do is fake laugh.
First that not look like fake laugh, and second no. No is the better, thats make You the friend of this ho3
Best thing to do is call them out on live
I mean, at 2:00 he says "that's the way it's done!" when she talks about threatening the employees. Sounds like he approves...
@@Olivia-ek9ib He also might have been trying to coax more self incriminating statements.

剛剛看到的，超真實
if you saw him playing thranduil i wony blam you...
Without CONSENT, it's not ok at all. 😑
She do that to a man and everyone laughs, but if she was telling this same story but instead she was the one who was kissed, everyone would be serious. We are definetely living in a society!
Imagine the level of entitlement and privilege here. To openly brag about this, and in such a cynical and legitimately awkward way.
Replay it in your head without Conan saving her with his quips.
To have only a fraction of the privilege she has had in her life would be awesome. And yet she still complains about being oppressed.
We don't have to imagine, men have been doing it since the beginning of time.
By demonizing men, we have led to this - she is not even ashamed, she has committed two crimes (who knows how many she does not admit) and she is still happy about it.
She is self-centered and has no remorse for what she has done! If a man did this, he would lose his freedom, career, money and probably family! She should be punished the same as any guy who committed same crimes!
if a man did this to a woman no one would be hollering or cheering. truly a sick world we live in
This is actually pretty messed. It's just creepy and not really funny.
late to this one and some have said similar things, but if the gender roles were reversed here there's a strong chance this would have blown up, the guy would likely be labeled as horrible with lawsuits following and likely a shutdown in production. Could be way off but in summation, this isn't cool.
it could have happened that way, with this event. the roles don't need to be reversed. however, Lee didn't file anything. she never faced any charges because he didn't think there were anything to charge for.
@@BikingWIthPanda because he would've been raked through the fire over eat, like myself, it's simpler to take it, deal with it yourself, and move on
He didn't complain about it. nobody said anything. it's fine. Didn't get reported.. that doesn't mean it wasn't sexual harassment. such double standard BS
I cannot blame her for succumbing to temptation.
lol
gross
Then, in all fairness, you can't blame all the men who have done the same.
still shouldnt have done that without permission, though. She even knew he was gay, so that makes it worse,. shame on her :(
Alma LeFay
He’s bisexual, stop...
explains the MeToo joke
If that was a man admitting that, he'd be looking at the business end of a lawsuit, a pink slip and cancelation campaign.
So much for "only white male has privilege to do crime without consequences" line she paraded around in that "show"
I'm not the kind of person who 'cancels' people, I will resist the urge one more time, but man is it difficult
Now Imagine an actor force kisses a lesbian actress and saying if you tell anybody you will be fired let's see the media response than .
Imagine a man going on a late night show and saying the exact same thing. He'd get drawn and quartered.
Any touch or physical contact must be cleared by both parties in a scene (improvisation too must be cleared like what are your boundaries and what are you comfortable with and not comfortable with) and blocked and explained by an intimacy coach. These are professional actors who often have lives outside of acting like having partners and families. This is a massive violation on any film set let alone a sag union job.
Yep that is definitely fucked up. But guys are just supposed to be fine with it. Not only should you NOT complain but you also have to laugh about it and pretend you enjoy it as well.
In a word, YIKES.
damn i can’t believe how old this shit is and it didn’t go around sooner lmfao

No she wouldn't, because let's face it, #metoo only works one way.
Disgusting hearing everyone laughing about it
I suppose we can always hope that the situation wasn't as ethically bankrupt as it sounded, and that Lee was cool with it, but come on consent people. Consent is key.
He’s a married gay man…I’m quite sure that no, he wouldn’t be “cool with it.”
