This accusation is not isolated in its importance. The Met Opera is Lincoln Center. Lincoln Center is a favorite of Hillary Clinton. She is loved there.

Well, I can bet she knew about this for quite some time. Birds of a Feather, you know. These people all travel in the same circles as well. There now have been three accusations. Two were way before he became a conductor. Heard that on my local news. He has been suspended. I know a very famous Opera Star who will be very disappointed in Levine. Believe me this has Rocked the Opera World. You may not hear about it, but it is being discussed in all their corners.

Well he certainly can't be the only man in his position doing these things. I've heard that the New York and East Coast music scene are worse than Hollywood, just better hidden.

Almost nothing surprises me anymore. But this one did to some extent.

my stomach's turning, Carm @Carmencita...I need to look into this Parkinson's caused by anal penetration theory a little more because this is genuinely the first time I have heard of such a thing.

Michael J Fox's issues I always assumed were severe anxiety and trauma due to prior abuse (allegedly? Very believable...such an adorable kid) rather than Parkinsons? But Parkinsons is more 'media friendly'....now of course knowing what we know, I wonder if Michael will ever come forward and tell the truth?

This is all so horrifying and sickening.

Yes, see the comment by @darkknight111 for he says it is the problem of dopamine and they could be covering it up with claims of Parkinsons. I put nothing past them.

If she was 15 it is statutory rape, not a pedo charge. It deserves the same penility. But that is besides the point.

carmencita ago

True. It is a male, not a she. Either way I agree it is all sick. There may be more coming forward since he works with the Met youth group.

Basics on Parkinson.

Relevant section here is on Dopmine, a neural transmitter linked to pleasure.

I'd say PD is being used as a lie to cover up his pedo acts based on how dopomine works.

Yes, as we have mentioned, Michael J. Fox. His life must have been Horrid.

Sick to my stomach. Is there no kid from the 70s/80s/90s that most of us alive today have grown up with, that remains non-abused?

Michael J. Fox like little angel Heather O'Rourke is making me incredibly depressed.

carmencita ago

Yes, it is depressing and oh so sad. I can no longer watch him now that I am convinced as to how he got that way. I don't know how he can even want to be involved in the business. I would assume he has enough to live on with investments at this stage. There is no way i would ever want to see anyone involved with that nasty business, the Film Bus. Horrid, and how do you know when talking to someone if they are one THEM or not.

@millennial_vulcan @darkknight111 What do you know that may connect Levine's Parkinson's to his being a Pedophile? Is there possibly any link. Idk, but there was a comment on here regarding a connection. Just wondering.

millennial_vulcan ago

See my above comment. Will be looking much more into this as its a complete new one for me :-(

carmencita ago

And a disgusting thing to be looking into, that is for sure. I am so busy with 2 cases right now, but this is on my list as well.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/met-opera-to-investigate-james-levine-over-sexual-abuse-accusation/ar-BBG5IAb?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=U346DHP In the report compiled by the Lake Forest, Ill., police department, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, the man said he was 15 when Mr. Levine held his hand in an “incredibly sensual” way. The following summer, the man told the police, Mr. Levine lay naked with him in bed and touched his penis — the beginning of years of sexual contact with Mr. Levine.
