Although apparently as a result of the Pestminister scandal rather than the Hollywood Values meltdown:
Top Welsh Labour politician Carl Sargeant is found dead days after being suspended by the party over ‘shocking’ sex allegations. A senior Labour politician has been found dead in apparent suicide today just days after he was suspended from the party over claims of sexual misconduct. Former Welsh Government minister Carl Sargeant, 48, is believed to have taken his own life at home in Connah’s Quay, North Wales.
I do wonder, however, about the recent suicide of actor Brad Bufanda. He had a pretty serious case of gayface and “began his acting career before his teens”. One wonders how close he was to the power centers of the Hollywood Values crowd.
In the meantime, the New York Times is VERY unhappy about their lawyer David Boies running interference for Harvey Weinstein in order to kill stories by New York Times reporters.
“We learned today that the law firm of Boies Schiller and Flexner secretly worked to stop our reporting on Harvey Weinstein at the same time as the firm’s lawyers were representing us in other matters,” the statement read. “We consider this intolerable conduct, a grave betrayal of trust, and a breach of the basic professional standards that all lawyers are required to observe. It is inexcusable and we will be pursuing appropriate remedies.”
How very shocking to learn that a lawyer representing the New York Times would not be a paragon of ethical or professional behavior! No one finds it harder to believe he has been robbed than a thief.
