    It was kind of bad. Then, it got a little weird.

    Almost no one in Hollywood is clean. This shit show is going to go on for a very long time because people love to watch drama and shit shows.

    I was assuming she was a porn star when I first read the name.

    Abused kids often abuse their kids.

    Not sure why sexual abuse would be different.

    What is it about Hollywood that seems to draw this sort of person? Or is it just confirmation bias and seeing something that isn't there?

    I know I am supposed to feel like he was a victim; same as if it was a 17 year old girl seduced by a older gentlemen, but I have a hard time doing it.

    I know how I was at 17; I would be high fiveing everyone I passed as I left her residence or hotel.

    I fear it is confirmation bias, and less notable people in out midst do this stuff just as regularly

    Really hoping that this didn't contribute to Bourdain's suicide, but I'm afraid that it likely did. F her.

    I hear you and I may have been the same way, but I am not sure that is how I would have felt once the dust settled.

    I guess $380k wasn't enuff to keep him quiet?

    Not saying it didn't or that I condone it, but I struggle with grasping how this event would negatively affect his "career".

    My mindset at 17 would not have viewed this as abuse. We were all looking for that Mrs. Robinson. Times sure have changed.

    she knew the kid when he was 7 years old. that's pretty creepy to me.

    Yeah, and evidently enjoyed calling him her son. I could understand how that would be unwelcome. If it's some random 37 year old actress he'd just met, that doesn't have some bizarre reverse Oedipus complex, he probably isn't complaining.

    I understand. I agree that part is creepy.
    If she had waited 10 months, until he was 18 would it be different (other than legal ramifications)? Maybe there is more to it, IDK.

    Other than legal, probably not. Seems predatory, given the circumstances
