I can't say I'm sure what to post today. I have a bunch of things bouncing around in my head. One is the many sexual harassment claims on the news lately and I have mixed feelings about what I'm hearing. The latest one is Bette Midler complaining about Geraldo Rivera before the talk show that she attended 1991. Here is my problem – in the early 90's it was reported Midler showed up to a show very high on cocaine. It was reported that they had consensual sex in a closet. Her professional reputation and what she promoted was that she was vulgar and ribald in as well as a substance user as well and an alcohol user. She provided herself as being a woman who sought out men for sex. The report to me seems like she just wants to get back in the news.
There are quite a number of these that are coming out from 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago. It seemed make a mockery of women new are coming out bravely reporting harassment and actual rape in timely manner. I would agree that the entertainment industry as well as politics lends itself to sexual improprieties toward women and I wish the best for these victims and hope both industries change. Bringing up old allegations that that were not made in a timely matter should not be picked up by the media and promoted.
One thing that's really strange is that the Billy Bush tape was announced by Donald Trump and his wife as just boy talk, false bragging and locker room talk. The other day it was on the news that the Donald Trump organization is now claiming that that tape was false and made up; created on someone's computer. If that is true why did they acknowledge it as locker room talk? I'm getting pretty sick of this stuff.
