^^^^^ OOOOOOOOHHH yeah...let's also talk about how pretty much all the men were silent at the Globes about this. And even when something WAS said, it felt more like it was in passing. I'm on the fence about using award show as issue platforms, but considering this is an issue within the same industry, I'm fine with it in this case. And it was almost all women doing any talking about this.

Posted: 1/14/18 at 10:26amFranco is probably the exception to the argument that actors don't like to stagedoor. That was his dating pool. Also shocked that he is being honored in today's climate.

Whenever they speak, they are told it is actually their time to listen for once. And when they don't speak, they are questioned for their silence.

It's the old "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing that probably had its origins back in the Ordovician Period.

Every time I think this whole story just fell through, I think back to Lea Salonga's tweet about the entire industry being on the verge of massive change. What was that about?

The same thing that this whole thread was about — rumors of a NYT article that was to go to press in the next few days.

Right, but to me, Lea's tweet read like she surely knew at least some of the details that would have emerged in the rumored article (or may still emerge sometime soon—who knows?). It's just strange how the buzz about this article was so tangible for those few days, and now it's been nearly two months since.

well they can be on a precipice of change even if this article never comes out. True the article would probably force about change or the industry could try and get out ahead of it a bit and make those changes themselves. And I think there have been some smaller articles that have come out about individuals here and there. It’s possible the NYT is still working thier sources.
The paper that published the Steve wynn news said they worked on their story for almost two and a half months before getting it print ready.

Complete and total lie, and I'm ashamed someone who claims to be in the industry is suggesting the article is merely a "rumor." NYT has been working on this for the last couple months and continues to do so. I've seen the list of names mentioned in the article - it's happening.

I never suggested it wasn’t being worked on. But the rumor mill was rampant that weekend — specifically the rumor that the article was to drop in the coming days — which as we all know turned out to be incorrect.

Yeah, even the more incessantly positive Broadway personalities (you know who I mean) had the "brace yourselves!" messages going on that weekend.

Don't think the Noblezada tweet is necessarily related to this specifically, just generally voicing her support for the #MeToo movement.

There has been a huge window of opportunity for whistles to be blown over the past few months. I'm not hearing very many.
More like the sound of ranks being closed.
