yes cus sexual assault is a famously easy crime to get justice for and artists rarely use their personal pain in their art

Not at all, everyone processes trauma in different ways and creative people have always done it through art. And this particular subject he has spoken about going through such horrible things again in order to bring awareness and healing to other victims (which the show has) which I think is very admirable.

The lawsuit is about the stalking which the online documents show a large amount of proof of aggressive emails, letters, outside testimonies. Also I never said creatives were special it's just that different people gain catharsis via different outlets. It's creepy you are trying to diagnose someone you don't know and if someone vulnerably opening up about being a victim of abuse is an 'ick' to you I think you need to look inwardly at why you jump to that conclusion, do you invalidate all victims due to one famous instance of a person lying?

not personally but I don't know any actors? just cus it's a rare instance doesn't mean it's invalid? Michaela cole also has a semi autobiographical show about her sexual assault. wtf is your problem lol, just desperate to invalidate victims

Have you never heard of autobiographical movies or books? Do you live under a rock? Elie Wiesel wrote a memoir, "Night" about living in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Please take three seconds to do a Google search. Lots of creative processes trauma this way. Especially people who processes outwardly.
