He did what he did, but his celebrity has worked against him just as much as for him. It doesn't help that women with stories that are impossible to verify, come out 20-30 years later because the "metoo" movement has made it fashionable to have a sexual assault story.

reply

The media protects him and he shits on the media. He's a criminal and an idiot. LOL

reply

Just die already? Did you read what the man said?

reply

The linked article is something of a whitewash. It said that he was 'charged' with having sex with a 13-year-old girl. He has admitted as much in his plea bargain.

reply

He was convicted. He fled before he could be sentenced.

reply

The bottom line is he was charged with drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. He entered a plea of guilty. Nothing more to say about it, he admitted he did it... then of course he fled the country because he realized that admitting you raped a 13 year old was probably going to result in him getting some time in a prison where the odds were high that he would get to experience rape from the victims side on a regular basis.

reply

Paladin and Thomas, I agree with both of you. And the fact that so many in Hollywood would not condemn him for so long is utterly reprehensible as well.

Actually it was the judge that rejected the deal as he had every right to to.

Are you saying that Polanski was innocent, that he didn't have sex with the girl?

reply

He could also blame the media for trying to protect him.

reply

Right, coz he wasn't a monster already.

But it's pretty ironic that Weinstein of all people was responsible for trying to bring him down. Monsters have no loyalty.

reply

They created this pedophile character, she says she was just a child when it took place.
He was abusive and just a piece of shit and a pedophile.

"just die already"

Calm the fuck down. Wishing dead to someone is the most pathetic, coward and mean thing someone can do.

*EDIT* I just realized that I made it sound like it was worse than rape. Sorry for that. Still, there's a saying "you don't wish cancer even for your worst enemy".

reply

Is wishing someone dead worse than drugging and raping a child?

reply

No, but it's not supposed to be a competition.

reply

Well OK then

reply

Depends. Are we talking a "genie" scenario where they are granted three wishes? Because if we are I'm torn.

You should know better than to say that to me! lol
