Total is still sitting at $195/$2000. Can someone give $5 to bring total to $200?
Everyday this survivor fears leaving their apartment and facing another assualt. Closer we get to this goal, quicker we can get them to safety while preserving dignity after the traumatic attack. ♥
AEW employs Ric Flair and Dustin Rhodes who were both sex pests on the “plane ride from hell.” Then you have accusations against Jericho and the accusations from during #MeToo about Darby Allin, so AEW isn’t a saint here.
But…but…Vince McMahon… Yup, bad, yup, evil, yup, probably worse. He owned WWE that’s how he covered up his crimes, when he resigned his board tried to keep him away and he used his stock to get back in, not because the company wanted him, then when TKO took over and saw everything he was shown the door, as of today it’s reported he no longer even has stock in the company, he lost his empire, now that poor woman is going to take his billions maybe, rightfully so, but to act like what Tony Khan said is cool, it wasn’t.
The women who came forward against Harvey Weinstein reacted with fury after the disgraced media mogul’s rape and sexual assault convictions were overturned by a New York appeals court on Thursday....
I don’t understand. If the witnesses allegations “were not related to the charges at hand,” then they shouldn’t affect the outcome of the trial, right?
Supposedly, it’s because a lot of the witnesses were also claiming to be victims, but also had never reported the attacks. It’s important to remember that his trial basically started the #MeToo movement, and his defense has basically managed to leverage that to go “these other witnesses weren’t relevant, because he was only on trial for the two rapes.”
Basically, imagine you’re on trial for a robbery you never committed. You’re a serial robber, but none of your victims have ever come forward. Then for this one particular robbery case (which you didn’t do) the floodgates open and all of your previous victims start popping up to go “oh yeah he definitely robbed me but I never reported it.” Again, you didn’t commit this specific robbery, and your previous robberies shouldn’t factor into your conviction on this case because you didn’t do it this time. It would be a miscarriage of justice to allow those previous victims to influence your current case.
If those victims wanted you convicted for their robberies, they’d need to come forward and accuse you of it for their specific case. But that isn’t what happened; They just attached themselves to an entirely separate robbery case, for robberies you had never been convicted of in the past.
To be clear: I 100% believe he did it. But this is how the courts are looking at his case. Instead of facing 80 separate charges, he faced 2 charges with 80 unrelated witnesses.
"On Thursday, more than two months later, the court announced it has reversed the mogul’s conviction in what is a shocking move to many and a pivotal moment in the #MeToo era."
Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned Thursday by the New York Court of Appeals, a shocking reversal of a landmark case that helped launch the #MeToo movement.
The court ordered a retrial, ruling that the judge in Weinstein’s original trial improperly allowed testimony about allegations that weren’t part of the case.
Tony Khan: We're like the Pepsi of pro-wrestling, and we're up against a really evil juggernaut. WWE's like the Harvey Weinstein of pro-wrestling. (x.com)
