Mindy Kaling laughing about sexual assaulting a subordinate...

...and then threatening other actors that she'd fire them off her show if they said anything.

>In the interview that may get Mindy Kaling canceled after a decade, she describes working with Lee Pace and commenting heavily on his well-known attractiveness. Then midway through the clip, she says she basically reached out of nowhere and kissed him. Given her description of his surprised silence (and lack of reciprocation), it is clear from context that this was not a consensual kiss. To the laughter of the crowd, Kaling then talks about how her other co-workers (like actor Ike Barinholtz) tell her that the kiss was not okay, and that she could get sued for that. As she then tells it, she got scared and told those employees of hers: “tell anyone, and you’re fired.” Woof. This is not a good look, even if it is suddenly coming back to light years later.

It'll be a bad look and she'll get some criticism for it. I doubt it goes beyond that.

And yet if a man in her position did it, his life would be over by the end of the day, assuming the audience didn't rush the stage and lynch him right there.

It’s literally what Bill Murray is getting sued for. Production of the movie was shut down, and all kinds of articles have been written trying to assassinate his character.
