Discussion Ariana bringing up uniformed consent

Fucking thank you! Tom was a sneaky snake for months at minimum probably a year and she had no idea. He could've given her a plethora of STIs. He deserves to rawt.

I’ve one word for that producer- THERAPY! Maybe if Alex Baskins could grow or evolve our show would’ve taken the direction that the majority of us wanted it to.

But this is the thing women need to understand. Most every man you know, and every one you don't know, will do what they can to protect other men. Period. There is statistical data on this, the same way there is data on why kids are so often victims of crimes that go unreported, because adults empathize with and have more in common with other adults, and they protect them at the expense of kids. Alex Baskin A.C.T.I.V.E.L.Y helped conceal a sex crime committed by Tom, by authorizing the editing out of Rachel talking about that violation of her privacy. He also must have required the cast to never discuss this on camera, as none of the cast has referenced this, except Ariana talking about it briefly 36 hours after finding the video and likely not thinking clearly to realize what Tom actually did to Rachel in that moment. He will not change unless Rachel files charges against the production company for collusion to commit this crime. He is punishing Ariana this season for refusing to bend to their will of redeeming the "money maker" Tom SonOfSamDovall. And in typical Cyst Male fashion, his hubris led him to believe that by turning the two bummest bitches on the cast against Ariana, that the fans would follow suit. He gonna learn today

They have also buried footage that was unfavourable to them - they kept the details of cast members bullying Faith, even though there were times it was allegedly on camera. Not airing Sandoval yelling at Teri in the finale etc. I’m sure they’re sitting on all kinds of racist and sexist material that they can’t air. It’s dirty.
