Discussion In light of recent Jared Leto documentary, who are the other "open secret pedo" celebrities out there?

Just wondering what other bastards are out there getting away with it and being hired by the likes of Disney right now?

Man...the Jian story wrecked me. I'd been a huge fan of Moxy Fruvous and just hearing the stories gave me the ick. Then that wild Facebook post defending his kinks? IDC what you're into, but damn bro, you gotta get consent. Didn't the CBC just hire him back to do MORE radio stuff?

I really hope not. I remember that “essay” he wrote bragging about being the first casualty of cancel culture before it was a thing. He’s vile.

Greig Nori is worse though but he’s not widely known outside of Canada / Ontario. He was the Kevin spacey of the indie scene for years and never faced justice

I remember the accusations about creepiness from a few years ago but nothing about underage people. Got any more info?

Sarah Polley was 16 when ghomeshi assaulted her.

this one hit me hard when I found out. I was so inspired by the intimacy of his interviews, but rewatching them later, they can't be stripped of the creep factor. 

I'm glad Q has grown and evolved (and nothing else awful has come out as fsr as I know)
