I find Haggis' comments on this topic somewhat lukewarm. Also, the Breitbart article leaves out this sentence when quoting the original interview in The Guardian:
"Haggis does not think sexual harassment and abuse are endemic in Hollywood, but admitted it is a “fairly sexist” town."
In another interview last year, actor Elijah Wood, who also got his start in Hollywood as a child star, claimed that organized sexual abuse of children existed in the entertainment industry.
“There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind,” Wood told the Sunday Times newspaper. “There is a darkness in the underbelly — if you can imagine it, it’s probably happened.”
Meanwhile, Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood suggested just this month that pedophilia in Hollywood will be “the next dam to break.”
George Clooney also said something like this today in regard to sexual harassment of women....
This is what Clooney actually said in the Clooney/Damon interview ...
Clooney said that the widespread harassment appears to be part of a larger, systemic problem.
Clooney said his wife has also experienced sexual harrassment..st that behaviour also happens in the professions. Think that's what he meant by 'larger, systemic problem'. I don't think Clooney wants to shine a light on pedophilia.
Miley Cyrus is proof. They turned her into a basket case. I hope that some of these stars get turned around. Hopefully all of it comes out. The mind control and just plain controlling their whole lives. They take over their whole being, zombie like creatures.
His involvement in Scientology was rather strange. He was told it was a cult but signed up anyway. He considers himself an atheist, but rationalized away the “religion” aspect of the cult. He didn’t believe any of the OT level stuff but stayed anyway. And then, after decades, he only broke free after demanding that the church change its stance on homosexuality, because apparently he was deluded enough to think that a) Scientology was whatever he thought it was and b) that their quiet but very defined stance on homosexuality wasn’t real.
Lots of sadness and regret in that man, though. I would think that if he knew anything personally, he would tell us.

Haggis was also a Scientologist at one point. The guy's seen some really fucked up shit in his time.

Sexual harassment and this PG stuff is very different. Clooney and his rent-a-wife are part of the problem. His comments are vague, meaningless crap.

It's just a way for him to save face after being accused last week of ruining a woman's career last week on a show he was on.

Have you ever watched Nickelodeon? Many kids shows on there are inappropriately sexualized.
