It's literally in the article.

Last time I checked Trump is the President of the United States.

Why would you put him in a category with 3 convicted rapists. Pretty sure he’s never been accused of drugging and raping anyone. Certainly haven’t heard any underage claims. Clearly just looking for someone to take the bait. Not really the place to troll and argue politics when serious claims are being made.

This bit?

"In court documents police allege Mr Lister "did tattoo the torso" of one of the women "without her consent"."

They allege he did it.
He probably did... but I still say to wait for the judgement, not jump to conclusions.

Just been crazy busy. I'm also on the board of my co-op and we've had some crazy problems outside of trying to locate hand sanitizer for our building. Like we have 40 units and none of us have cooking gas right now. We almost were without gas for heat and hot water. That's on top of the pandemic...and my work!

Hope you guys are all well and safe!

I mean look, when I was young I was always out drinking and partying. I was in the music business, I'd shut down bars with the likes of the Replacements, out all night dancing with Grant Showbiz, etc etc etc and ETC! But...me being out partying with other people, regardless of how screwed up they were and I was doesn't mean the responsibility is mine if someone does something awful to me. 

You expect and hope people will be decent, you try to be smart and act as if maybe they aren't but if you hang out with someone a dozen times or over the course of a year or two you can't anticipate that last time where something might deviate from what you are used to with that person.

Point taken though, a warning to be more aware of your surroundings (or not let yourself get to the point where you can't be aware of them) is helpful but again the responsibility falls on the creep not the victim. xo

I think Woody Allen and Terry Richardson are both scumbags. Don't know much about the others outside of their art.

People are already spitting on the art of the likes of Polanski, Weinstein, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, etc.

I forgot about Terry Richardson, whatever happened to him? is he still in hiding?

 Terry Richardsons antics were ignored by the fashion world because there are lots of abusers in fashion who are pulling the strings. The attitude taken by victims in fashion, hollywood etc etc is it's not worth reporting because everyone know sit goes on and no one will listen.

  We all know why lots of actors and actresses signed a letter demanding Polanski's crimes, criminal charges be forgiven or annulled by the US.

 

LOL.. was thinking the same thing

Curious how much they want. Can you give ballpark figures please?

Tough crowd!

I'd like to drug a person and commit the unspeakable. If interested, PM with pictures and prices please.

Maybe buying a Lister because looong time sentence will be mostly the death of his art career... it's a good investment... who knows.

Personally, I was never attracted by his art. Maybe colors and speed movements, but he is not 1% original.


I know it's not the same, but...
Graham Ovenden artworks were removed from Tate when they found he was guilty for being a pederast.
Also, many didn't attend Thyssen museum for Balthus retrospective exhibition just because they think he is a pederast too.

Everyone loves "Robin Hoods", graffiti writers, crazy artists, drugs abuse artists, charismatic artists, etc...
But doing illegal stuff it's not the same as being a bad person.
