SSS: Steven Seagal Sucks

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Great spinoff thread.

It's amazing how well Seagal seems to have avoided MeToo. But then, he's not really a guy you can cancel given how his "career" is so fringe nowadays. What you gonna do? Stop him from churning out his DVDs?

It's not really avoiding if you've already been accused and basically blacklisted by the industry for this sort of thing (and a bunch of other things) years ago anyway.

I think right now he should be more worried about being cancelled by Ukrainian assassins more than anything else.

He's pretty much blacklisted anyway. Canceling him wouldn't do anything to him.

Assuming he did anything MeToo worthy, it would be only for the victim(s) to share their story. Maybe to get him in jail.

He's got numerous accusations or sexual assault and rape against him.

His reality show was cancelled over one.

Shows you how much I know about him.

Shows you how much I know about him.

Always be sceptical about such accusations, because without scrutiny it's a murder-weapon, but there are several such stories and after some point, a pattern of single dots changes into a picture:

[...]

On Monday, two more women came forward to voice claims that Seagal had sexually assaulted them, allegedly when one was 17 and the other 18. Both of them said they had struggled for years over whether to publicize their accusations but said they felt emboldened by other victims who had spoken out since last fall — including against Seagal — as part of the #MeToo movement.

One, Regina Simons, alleged that Seagal had raped her in 1993 when she was 18. At an emotional news conference Monday, Simons — an extra in Seagal’s 1994 film “On Deadly Ground” — detailed how the actor had invited her to what was supposed to be a wrap party at his house more than two decades ago.

She arrived to find no one else there, Simons said. Seagal reportedly told her everyone else had left the party, then led her to a bedroom.

“He closed the door and approached me from behind. He started kissing my neck and taking off my clothes,” Simons said Monday, at times taking deep breaths before she could continue. “I was in shock. I was completely caught off guard. Seagal was more than twice my size and twice my age. I was not sexually active nor had I ever been naked in front of a man before. I froze.”

Through tears, Simons described how Seagal allegedly took his robe off, then raped her.

“There was nothing consensual about this,” Simons said. “I couldn’t move and I felt as if I was watching my body from above. I felt tears coming down my face.”

When Seagal finished, Simons said she dressed as quickly as possible: “He put his hand on the door and asked me if I needed any money. I said no and ran for the door, got in my car and drove away. I cried the entire way home.”

Despite Seagal calling her the next day and then making several attempts to contact her, Simons said she never spoke with him again.

Following such stories, you'll find a trail of money behind that "man", which silenced a lot of voices.

Now that I have read that I do recall the story. Probably not that detailed.

I honestly never liked him TBH. Between him and Van Damme.
