Arturkodzhoyan1 What is this madness?! Are you all crazy? What you call 'sexual harassment' most of the time is just a natural prelude to love, family and children. Stop this idiotic crusade against male sexuality! Rape is clearly a crime and can be proven. 'Sexual harassment' is a fake crap.
Meanwhile, rock stars....
benshapiro Isn't taking a man's livelihood away a sort of punishment ? A punishment not preceded by due process? If plp don't want to see him so be it but stop this mob mentality justice. It is just vengeful and may hurt us all in the long run.
Threatening to ruin a singer’s career doesn’t exactly lead to “consensual sex.” Domingo has been getting away with sexual harassment for decades. Now he’ll just retire & slink away.
benshapiro How'd that cancel culture working out?
KTLA What happened to “Innocent Until Proven Guilty?”
Insta Justice
MarkDavis Allegations Allegations Allegations. Guilty or Not, still just allegations.
tfw the San Francisco Opera is held to a higher standard than The President of the United States
It’s no laughing matter but is there a chance that they THOUGHT they were being sexually assaulted but weren’t? You know, the Placido Effect.
All good. Now apply it consistently. Why isn't the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia being shown the door?
benshapiro But msm won’t even cover it!
It would have been a great show. In South America singing Violetta Parra's Gracias la Vida, OMG!
This is very bad for our world.
No arrest, no conviction, just allegations followed by punishment...
Hey lovers of multiculturalism...the man is from Spain...the same for Italy...Greece...Portugal...Mexico..Brasil....Peru ...pretty much any non-WASP N.European country...and contextually FROM a different era!
benshapiro Don Lemon assaulted a man. He's next, AP.
nicksmithnews I knew some opera people in the 80s. His behavior was common knowledge, at least back then.
INNOCENT UNTIL... bla bla the guy’s not in jail ffs. These people commenting are simpletons itching to bitch about anything metoo related. A lot of skeletons in a lot of closets, man, obvs.
One more example of what PC means: GUILTY until proved innocent.
benshapiro
metoo is still alive
benshapiro Bet he is wishing it was the 'other guy'
KTLA I thought in America, it was innocent until proven guilty. 🤔
Once again.... guilty til proven innocent
benshapiro I sense a p.r. campaign in the works....his name is Flacido Domingo, you guys had it wrong all along.
benshapiro AP: Aggressive Progressives
benshapiro Whatever. Get over it. A casting couch is a good thing
Seriously....
benshapiro More sexual relations crap. What ever happened to flirting?
benshapiro Wow
Holy crap rigor_tortoise3
I always thought that someone is not guilty until proven otherwise, so stop the nonsense and let the man perform its people own choice if they want to see him or not hypocrites
And Placido Domingo joins a long list of heavyweights 🎭
So all I need to do is accuse someone of a crime and the get fired? What about having a trial first.
benshapiro Appears that Placido and Katy need some sensitivity/hands off training.
Thought innocent until proven guilty. Guess not
Where is the right to the presumption of innocence? Sexual harassment allegations are only allegations until there' s a decision confirming those allegationsas facts by a judge.
benshapiro What In San Fran?
Maybe he should run for President because you can get away with that and more
Only the Frisco opera buddy
It will pass
benshapiro San Fran is better at dealing with other people's sh*t than their own, which happens to be on the sidewalks.
Placido is flaccido
MamaMiaToo
Sooner or later the world would stop functioning due to the MeToo movement
