James Van Der Beek Told His Own Story About Getting Sexually Assaulted In Hollywood
If there’s one good thing to come out of the ugly and soul-murdering Harvey Weinstein situation, it’s that I’ve heaved and dry barfed so much that my mound of chunk gut has turned into an 8-pack! Who needs that laxative tea and an ab roller when you’ve got disgusting Harvey Weinstein stories? But there’s another good (and more important) thing to come out of this Harvey Weinstein situation. The door to the ILLEGAL and gross shit that happens in Hollywood was kicked open a bit. Dozens of actresses have told their stories about Pervey Weinstein, and now men are telling their own stories about getting touched wrong by the powers-that-be.
Terry Crews already tweeted about how a Hollywood executive grabbed his down-low parts without asking at a party last year. Rob Schneider told his own story about a now-dead famous director who sexually harassed him when he was a young actor. And last night, James Van Der Beek tweeted his own tale from the Hollywood Is Trash files. JVDB, who got into acting as a teenager, tweeted that he knows what it likes to feel powerless about going up against a powerful Hollywood man, because it’s happened to him. JVDB tweeted that when he was a lot younger, the creepy vultures of Hollywood regularly circled around him and went in.
For anyone judging the women who stayed silent, read this for perspective. Also for anyone brushing off harassment as “boys being boys.” https://t.co/UX9xWxpn2K

What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal. What he’s admitted to is unacceptable – in any industry. I applaud everybody speaking out.

I’ve had my ass grabbed by older, powerful men, I’ve had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger…

I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There’s a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome

FTR, the harassment I tweeted about was by people 99.9% of you don’t know. 2 were charged (by others) & punished. The other has since died.

I realize I left a door open by not initially naming, but please don’t impugn innocent people w/out cause. That’s not fair. Or right.

In the time it takes me to press the publish button on this post, I’m sure five more stories like this will pop up. The flood gates are open, and so are the assholes of the predators of Hollywood and that pedo ring Corey Feldman talked about. Because they’re all probably shitting themselves right now, and their housekeepers are going to be busy scrubbing the caca out of their chonies. Bryan Singer’s housekeeper probably picked up the phone today and called in sick for the rest of forever.
