What does sexual abuse look like? Does it have a color, a sex, a social standard? Obviously not.. As of a few weeks ago, lots of the people we love to watch on tv and the big screen have come forward in support of the #metoo campaign. If you've been living under a rock. (😒). Then maybe you haven't been privy to the news headlines of Movie director Harvey Weinstein and the many women that have come forward in accusation of Mr. Weinsteins inability to keep his hands to himself. Days after the breaking news of Mr. Weinsteins dismissal from his own company. Many of our favorite people were making there way to the forefront confessing that they too had been sexually assaulted while working in the entertainment industry by various higher ups. Gabrielle Union was compelled to tell her story of survival during a sexual assault at a store that she worked in as a teenager. Alyssa Milano confessed to being assaulted by a Hollywood Mogul as well. While I originally thought that these claims would obviously be female gender based. I was left speechless when Terry Crews admitted to being assaulted in front of his wife. When I heard that, I literally almost lost my lunch. Terry Crews? While the tall dark and handsome specimen is definitely eye candy to the ladies. The thought that another man would feel secure enough to physically assault this huge , physically fit man. I'm in shock. As outsiders we've long thought that the glitz and glammer of being a superstar was easy, peasy. Boy were we ever wrong.
Thankfully the people that have been misutilizing there authority in these roles. Have been put on notice and will now hopefully think twice about what they do and say to our fave tv stars.
Today I was browsing through the net and ran across an article that said that Monica Lewinsky was joining the #metoo campaign. Now before you start rolling your eyes and popping your necks. ( cause I did enough for us both)
Let's just give her a break. I mean the info that was disclosed during the Bill and Monica scandal was the TMI that we all would like to forget. We weren't there and don't know the while story. So, I'll giver her a slight pass to express herself and heal from the embarrassment that has followed her since then.
Hopefully this campaign will aid other men and women to reach for the support and compassion to get through there pain.
Until next time... Stay Blessed and Beautiful my loves.... #smooches
