Well, yes, there's that distinction between what may seem reasonable to some and what is legally safe. (Think what the Husar case judge was reported to have said...)

As for Rush's possible regret, doesn't that depend on whether these other things would have come out regardless? Do you think, if he'd taken no action, no further media stories would have come out? If they'd have come out anyway, he might as well have taken legal action if his advice was that he'll win.

so maybe an admission and an apology would have been a better idea. Or maybe not do it in the first place.

The past of Bryan Singer, director of X-Men and Bohemian Rhapsody, seems to finally be catching up with him.

2 questions/

1. Is that relevant to he Metoo thing as that's all about women

2. Is he a gay man who likes em younger or a pedophile? (allegedly)

Personally, on 2 I think the former as my take on pedos is they go for pre pubescent kids not ones bordering on the age of consent, but look forward to your thoughts

Fair call, Ta.

Interestingly, most of his alleged victims would have been of legal age in Australia because of the different laws for age of consent.

I missed the point. I have absolutely no problem with what she did and don't understand why anyone else would. I've seen a bit of that outing or blasting, whatever, on Twitter and I just think, fair call.

Anyone who thinks that writing crap like that on someones social media page is just flirting or fun is from a different planet to me.
