If a Woman Continuously Adjust Her Bust in Front of a Man is That Sexual Harassment

"AT&T Lily" Milana Vayntrub Speaks Out Over Online Sexual Harassment

Milana Vayntrub might not be a name that you recognize, but you've probably seen her before. Since 2013, she has been appearing in AT&T commercials as Lily, a saleswoman. While she is best known for her commercial work, she has also appeared onThis Is Usand is also the voice for Squirrel Girl on Marvel's New Warriors. Recently, Vayntrub has been appearing in AT&T commercials again and has gotten a lot of gross comments. Many people have begun sexualizing her in the comments of her posts and the AT&T posts on Instagram. A lot of the comments have to do with her breasts.

This understandably did not sit well with Vayntrub who went onto Instagram Live, and said that the comments around her breasts hurt her feelings and brought up feelings of sexual assault.

this is so sad. she (the at&t girl) is talking about how she's uncomfortable with being sexualized and people r making sexual comments about her chest. what the fuck. pic.twitter.com/LKFNQeFwo3

A user on her IG live commented that it would go away in a month as many memes do, but that doesn't change the fact that it's hurting her right now. Another commented that letting people know that she was hurt just gave them an incentive to do it more, which might have some validity to it, but it doesn't make it right. It's important for her to speak up about her experience as a woman in the entertainment industry and on the Internet, and hopefully, her speaking about this problem will open up the door for bigger conversations.

quences on the mental health and overall well-being of the women we consistently choose to objectify. on her live vayntrub also talked about how she felt widely unsafe simply walking her dog thanks to all the hyper-sexual comments she was getting.

crazy how "at&t girl" is a prime example of women being fully covered from head to toe and still being sexualized just for existing
— ?????? (@talliesinyoung) August 23, 2020

The harassment also went onto AT&T's own Instagram page where a video was shared and there were several comments talking about Vayntrub's "milkers." This led AT&T to disable the comments but not before replying to a few of them, telling one commenter in particular, "We don't condone sexual harassment of employees in the workplace or on our social media channels."

The comments have been going on for several days now and were the catalyst for Vayntrub's emotional IG Live where she let people know that her feelings were hurt. Sexual harassment is never okay; it doesn't matter if it's in person or online, and it doesn't matter if it's someone you know or a celebrity.

The sexual harassment Vayntrub is facing is not okay and should not be something that simply comes with the territory of being a public figure. We need to call out sexual harassment and make sure that everyone knows it's unacceptable. So many people are excusing this because she has posted photos with cleavage before, but that wasn't an invitation for anyone to sexually harass her. Victim blaming those who face sexual harassment is wrong, and it doesn't help anything but further a culture where the onus falls on the victim instead of the perpetrator.

Vayntrub has since had to limit who is able to comment on her Instagram posts because of the harassment.

Online Harassment Is An Epidemic. Meet The Women Working To Stop It

Kelly Marie Tran Speaks Out About Online Harassment: "I Won't Be Marginalized"
"Green Book" Director Peter Farrelly Has A History Of Sexual Misconduct

At this point, it'spublic knowledgethat Bohemian Rhapsody director Bryan Singer is facing allegations of sexual assault—and his film still won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture. Another Best Picture-winning director also has a history of misconduct: Peter Farrelly, who directed, produced, and co-wrote the dramatic comedy Green Book.(Which has drawn criticism for its "tone-deaf" approach to race, including from the family of Dr. Don Shirley, the black concert pianist portrayed by Mahershala Ali in the film).

This week, the Cut dug into some disturbing (and forgotten) stories from 1998 about Farrelly. In a 1998 profile,Newsweek wrote that Farrelly and his brother Bobby, also a director, "have concocted a variety of clever ploys designed to get you to look at…something of Peter's…something anatomical in nature." The piece then quotes Cameron Diaz, who starred in Farrelly'sThere's Something About Mary: "When a director shows you his penis the first time you meet him, you've got to recognize the creative genius." In the same article, Tom Rothman—then a Fox executive—said that he, too, had been flashed by Farrelly.

The Cut mentions another 1998 article fromObserver, in which Farrelly directly mentions his penchant for flashing:

"It's not like I make a habit of just whipping it out and saying, 'Hey! Look! My cock!' We do a joke where, it's like, Bob says, 'Pete's been really crazy, he went out and spent $500 on a belt buckle.' I go, 'Bob, it's an investment, it's not a big deal.' He says, 'You're stupid!'…I say it's not stupid…Finally, she says, 'Let me see it.' And I lift my shirt and have it hanging over."

He also added, "I do like it when they stare."

Farrelly released a statement to CNN, writing, "I was an idiot. I did this decades ago and I thought I was being funny, and the truth is I'm embarrassed and it makes me cringe now. I'm deeply sorry."

Though Farrelly's behavior was—and remains—disgusting and unexcusable, it's worth noting that the articles resurfaced by the Cut paint the details of Farrelly's harassment as alarmingly blasé: a running prank, a personality quirk. And evidently, the statements provided by Diaz and Rothman and even Farrelly's own admission didn't follow the director throughout his career. It's safe to say this kind of misconduct and language wouldn't and won't fly decades later in 2019, and perhaps that—if nothing else—can offer a small sense that we're heading in the right direction.

Anita Hill Wants Change, Not An Apology

With his recent presidential bid, former vice president Joe Biden is facing a resurgence of criticism for his role in handling Anita Hill's 1991 testimony against Clarence Thomas, in which she accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual harassment. Before launching his 2020 campaign, Biden reached out to Hill through an arranged phone call to express "his regret for what she endured and his admiration for everything she has done to change the culture around sexual harassment in this country," revealed a campaign spokesperson. Hill was unsatisfied with Biden's attempts to make amends.

At the time of her testimony, Biden was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and presided over the confirmation hearings. During which, Hill was subjected to brutal interrogations by a committee of all white-males, who belittled her accusations with testimony from Thomas supporters and failed to call witnesses who were willing to testify on Hill's behalf. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Hill, who's currently a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University stated, "I cannot be satisfied by simple saying, 'I'm sorry for what happened to you.' I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose."

While she did mention that she does not believe Biden's actions should bar him from the race, affirming she's "really open to people changing," she cannot support the candidate until he takes full responsibility. "He needs to give an apology to the other women and to the American public because we know now how deeply disappointed Americans around the country were about what they saw. And not just women. There are women and men now who have just really lost confidence in our government to respond to the problem of gender violence," she told The Times.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's 2018 testimony against Brett Kavanaugh drew many comparisons to the 1991 hearing. Hill remarked in the interview that she considers Biden to have "set the stage" for Kavanaugh's confirmation. Both Kavanaugh and Thomas were appointed to the court despite allegations of sexual harassment. Hill said she wants sexual harassment and gender violence to be crucial topics during the Democratic presidential primary and wants to know how Biden and the rest of the candidates plan to address them.

Considering Trump's extensive history of despicable behavior towards women as well as the aftermath of the Kavanaugh hearings and the #MeToo movement, issues concerning sexual harassment and gender rights will be at the forefront for many voters. And, whoever is chosen as the Democratic nominee must be capable of strongly distinguishing themselves from Trump on these matters. As Hill said, there are many Americans who have, rightfully, lost confidence in our government and system of justice.

Are You Kidding Me? James Deen To Appear In A Film Called "Consent"

In late 2015, news broke over Twitter that James Deen, a porn star who had staked his fame on his "feminist sweetheart" persona in countless adult films, was accused of rape by his ex-girlfriend and frequent costar, Stoya. Stoya's accusation came out via a tweet, and was followed by two other women who came forward with sexual and physical assault claims against Deen.

Eventually, nine women came forward to say that Deen had harassed, abused, assaulted, or raped them. Despite his denial of all accusations, Deen lost his partnership with a few major porn studios, such as Kink and Evil Angel, his sex advice column at The Frisky, and voluntarily resigned from The Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, according to ABC News.

According to Jezebel, the women who spoke out ended up suffering many more monetary, professional, and social consequences than the accused. One accuser, Ashley Fires, said it led to the "devastating" fallout of her career. Former porn actress Tori Lux, detailed for The Daily Beast in 2015 some of the social and professional hindrances she had to consider when making her accusation against Deen:

"Despite porn being a legal form of sex work, and it occurring in a controlled environment such as a porn set, this blame-the-victim mentality is still inherent in much of society. In turn, sex workers are silenced and our negative experiences are swept under the rug as we try to protect ourselves from the judgment of others -- or worse, a variety of problems ranging from further physical attacks to professional issues such as slander and/or blacklisting.

"Simply put: I was afraid."

Skipping forward to 2019, Evil Angel is working on a new film titled Consent, which will include explicit sex scenes alongside behind-the-scenes documentary footage. When one of the film's stars, Casey Calvert, asked to work with Deen on a sex scene, the owner of Evil Angel, John Stagliano, rethought the studio's ban on the actor. Stagliano, who was recently accused in the New York Post of violating performers' consent himself, decided to end the studio's ban. "I figured three years was enough time," he told Jezebel. Among his other reasons for deciding to work with Deen again, he listed, "I didn't know how long the sentence should be, seriously, number one. Number two, I didn't have all the information. Number three, all my competitors are shooting him anyway. Number four, he's admitted that he did some bad stuff."

Beyond the notion of an accused rapist and abuser being in a film called Consent, which sounds like a bit of Juvenalian satire, Stagliano's reasoning brings up another pressing issue in the porn industry: How can a studio that does the right thing (in this case, banning Deen) be rewarded when other studios continue to work with/profit off of him? How can the industry ensure there are no monetary, professional, and/or social consequences for accusers? The #MeToo movement and Time's Up have made waves in the mainstream film industry and are expanding their reach into music, but abusers and industries that aren't so much in the public eye still aren't being held accountable.

Emma Thompson Pulls Out Of Upcoming Film After The Hiring Of A Known Sexual Harasser

Dame Emma Thompson, an award-winning actor and screenwriter, wrote a letter to Skydance Animation last month explaining why she has decided to leave the voice cast of their upcoming 2021 film, "Luck." Her letter, released by the L.A. Times early this morning, cites the hiring of filmmaker and sexual harasser John Lasseter as the reasoning behind her decision.

According to a L.A. Times article from January 2019, John Lasseter took a leave of absence from his position as Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studio's chief creative officer in November 2017 after he faced allegations of sexual misconduct. According to former colleagues, Lasseter was known for being unable to control himself around young, attractive women, for his prolonged hugs, and unwanted physical contact. Lasseter acknowledged that he had made "missteps" and publicly stated at the start of the new year, "I have spent the last year away from the industry in deep reflection, learning how my actions unintentionally made colleagues uncomfortable, which I deeply regret and apologize for." He continued, "It has been humbling, but I believe it will make me a better leader."

Skydance Animation's decision to hire the scorned filmmaker came as quite a shock earlier this year. In the same January 2019 article, the L.A. Times released a memo from Skydance's CEO David Ellison that attempts to justify the hire; "While we would never minimize anyone's subjective views on behavior, we are confident after many substantive conversations with John, and as the investigation has affirmed, that his mistakes have been recognized," David Ellison wrote to his staff. "We are certain that John has learned valuable lessons and is ready to prove his capabilities as a leader and a colleague. And he has given his assurance that he will comport himself in a wholly professional manner [which] is the expectation of every Skydance colleague and partner."

According to Emma Thompson's representatives, after news about Lasseter's employment broke, she immediately pulled out of working on "Luck." The letter, released by the L.A. Times reads as follows:

As you know, I have pulled out of the production of "Luck" — to be directed by the very wonderful Alessandro Carloni. It feels very odd to me that you and your company would consider hiring someone with Mr. Lasseter's pattern of misconduct given the present climate in which people with the kind of power that you have can reasonably be expected to step up to the plate.

I realise that the situation — involving as it does many human beings — is complicated. However these are the questions I would like to ask:

• If a man has been touching women inappropriately for decades, why would a woman want to work for him if the only reason he's not touching them inappropriately now is that it says in his contract that he must behave "professionally"?
• If a man has made women at his companies feel undervalued and disrespected for decades, why should the women at his new company think that any respect he shows them is anything other than an act that he's required to perform by his coach, his therapist and his employment agreement? The message seems to be, "I am learning to feel respect for women so please be patient while I work on it. It's not easy."
• Much has been said about giving John Lasseter a "second chance." But he is presumably being paid millions of dollars to receive that second chance. How much money are the employees at Skydance being paid to GIVE him that second chance?
• If John Lasseter started his own company, then every employee would have been given the opportunity to choose whether or not to give him a second chance. But any Skydance employees who don't want to give him a second chance have to stay and be uncomfortable or lose their jobs. Shouldn't it be John Lasseter who has to lose HIS job if the employees don't want to give him a second chance?
• Skydance has revealed that no women received settlements from Pixar or Disney as a result of being harassed by John Lasseter. But given all the abuse that's been heaped on women who have come forward to make accusations against powerful men, do we really think that no settlements means that there was no harassment or no hostile work environment? Are we supposed to feel comforted that women who feel that their careers were derailed by working for Lasseter DIDN'T receive money?

I hope these queries make the level of my discomfort understandable. I regret having to step away because I love Alessandro so much and think he is an incredibly creative director. But I can only do what feels right during these difficult times of transition and collective consciousness raising.

I am well aware that centuries of entitlement to women's bodies whether they like it or not is not going to change overnight. Or in a year. But I am also aware that if people who have spoken out — like me — do not take this sort of a stand then things are very unlikely to change at anything like the pace required to protect my daughter's generation.

Yours most sincerely,

Emma Thompson

Many sexual harassers in the entertainment industry, like Lasseter and Louis C.K., are attempting to make career comebacks after apologizing and taking time to "reflect." As Thompson so eloquently states in her letter, these men do not deserve a second chance at the expense of others. It is up to people with influence and power to deny these individuals' access to additional opportunities. Thank you, Emma Thompson, for leading by example.

How Teen Marriage Opens Child Porn Loophole For A Missouri Doctor

A doctor from St. Louis University Hospital is being charged with the production and possession of child pornography, as well as transporting a minor across state lines for sex. Dr. Ashu Joshi, 47, was indicted on these charges after intimate Facebook messages and images were found between him and Madison Dole, who was 16 at the time. A few weeks after meeting, Dole was carrying Joshi's child and the couple were talking about marriage in the unearthed messages.

The teenager's mother was originally a patient of the doctor and essentially set the two up; when speaking to St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dole said that she "asked if I would be interested in dating him and learning more about his career" although there has been no comment on the charges from her parent. Joshi met Dole to discuss her interest in pursuing a career in the medical field before she began babysitting for him, eventually engaging in sexual activity with her and starting a romantic relationship.

In Missouri, the age of consent is 17 and in Kentucky, it is 16, with the exception of the age being "raised to 18 if the offender is in a position of trust or authority over the victim." For marriage, the minimum age is 16 in Missouri (but if a person is over 21 they cannot marry anyone under 18), and in Kentucky, it was recently moved from 16 to 17 with a parent's and/or guardian's consent.

After the arrest and suspension of Joshi's medical license, the couple were married in Kentucky at a private ceremony that was approved by a judge. Prosecutors argue that this was done, in part, to help the trial and case against the doctor. Dole, now 18, has repeatedly told news outlets that she wants the charges dropped either way and the return of the private evidence and images, stating that there is nothing illegal or sinister about the relationship. However, since one of the conditions of Joshi's $10,000 bail was to not have contact with Dole and their concealment of the marriage, a prosecutor of the case has asked for him to be jailed until his upcoming court date on January 10.

This particular case happens to be a rare and complex one that involves loopholes and exceptions, partly because of the timing and respective laws of each state—though it does raise questions surrounding teenage marriage. Should a person of nearly 50 be able to marry someone under 18? Should two people of 16 be able to marry each other? I would say no. Most people I know and surround myself would say no (I would hope). Morally and logically either of those is wrong: Does anyone know what they want at 16? And someone who is nearing middle age should not be in a relationship with a child. It is hard to comprehend that there are laws in place that allow this to happen at all in 2019, and yet, there are. Most people finish high school at 18, 69.8% of those will go to college, pushing the concept and age of marriage to much after they graduate. The average age of a woman to get married in the US is 27 and for men, it is 29.

So why are these laws in place, and more importantly, for who, if the data points to this being an uncommon situation? An unsettling figure, according to The Pew Research Centre, is that out of the 57,800 reported marriages from ages 15-17 in 2014, 31,644 were girls. In Texas, the most popular state for child brides, 9 out of every 1,000 girls of that age group were married. Further, a study by Girls Not Brides found that between 2000 and 2010, most child marriages were to adult men.

Eighteen is the average age of consent across the US, with most also accepting someone of sixteen and, sometimes younger, with a court order or parent's consent. In North Carolina a female can marry at 14 if they are pregnant or have given birth to a child; this law applies in Maryland at 15. In California, there is no minimum age requirement if there is parental consent. In Alabama, if the minor has previously been married parental consent is not needed.

At a time when human trafficking has reached a record high worldwide, laws need to be set in place to enforce the protection of individuals subjected to this. Between 2007 and 2017 US Immigration Services approved thousands of visa petitions for adult men to bring underage spouses and fiances to the US. Currently, women and girls make up 71% of the enslaved population, while 51.6% of cases last year in the US involved children. But those are the figures that we know of, because of the nature of human trafficking there is much that goes unseen and unreported, which could potentially be far worse than anyone can imagine.

6 Things You Need To Know About Human Trafficking
Mall Jewelry Stores Have Been A Diamond Mine Of Pay Discrimination And Sexual Harassment

If you've ever set foot in a mall or turned on a TV, you're probably familiar with the words: "Every Kiss Begins With Kay," "He Went To Jared" and "Zales: The Diamond Store." You've probably seen the cheesy, heteronormative commercials involving a man surprising his wide-eyed girlfriend/fiancé/wife with a sparkly piece of jewelry, illustrating his love and devotion to her. And, as a result of these commercials, you're probably familiar with the notion that this is how you treasure women--with sweeping gestures materializing in a piece of jewelry.

But you might not know that the company responsible for selling romance and love instilled a culture of pay discrimination and sexual harassment. The New York Times Magazine has published a detailed expose, by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, uncovering the toxic culture of Sterling Jewelers Inc. and its parent company, Signet. Signet owns the jewelry stores seen in every mall across the country. Kay, Jared the Galleria of Jewelry and Zales are only a few of the brands under Signet. Brodesser-Akner interviewed lawyers and dozens of employees about the company's corporate culture and a "pay-and-promotions" class-action lawsuit against Signet, which at one point included 70,000 women. After fourteen years, the lawsuit remains unresolved.

In 2005, Dawn Soutos-Coons filed a report claiming sex discrimination in the Jared store where she worked. She had been a manager at J.B. Robinson, another store under Signet, where she helped increase sales from $800,000 to more than $3 million. When her husband had to relocate to Florida for work, she requested a transfer and was offered an assistant-manager position at a Jared, a new store then that sold higher-end jewelry. For Soutos-Coons, "the idea of working with the really good stuff made the demotion palatable." She also mentioned that she took the job on the condition that she would be considered for the first manager spot available.

But, she was never given the job even "when the manager left for training to be a district manager; not when that man was replaced by a man who had just two years of experience at another jewelry store along with a few years of nonjewelry experience at a Men's Wearhouse." Moreover, because of her access to payroll records, she discovered that the men were making more than the women, who all had more experience. Hourly wages for the women averaged $10.39 while the men's averaged $13.40, which "on that average, a woman working a 30-hour workweek for 52 weeks each year would make $16,208.40 before bonuses, while a man working the same amount would make $20,904."

Accounts from more employees reveal a company that cultivated "a system in which men were consistently paid more than women and promoted more quickly; a hiring system in which management received instructions from regional vice presidents that included: 'Put them in a push-up bra and get them on the lease line.'" In other words, the company was a breeding ground for sexual harassment.

Incidents of on-the-job harassment ranged from lewd comments, like when a soon-to-be manager reportedly told a female sales associate that he wanted to "lick her head to toe," to rape. At a 2004 managers' meeting, a man by the name of Rick Docekal raped a fellow manager while she was asleep.

The Washington Post and The New York Times have previously reported some of the incidents, but the Times Magazine piece, as Kelly Faircloth for Jezebel writes, "lays everything out in a way that heightens the contradiction at the heart of the story—the notion that a company built on women's fantasies of being loved and valued would systemically degrade and exploit the women who work there."

No Jail Time For Former Bus Driver Who Raped A 14-Year-Old-Girl

In an unbelievable clusterfuck of toxic masculinity and lawlessness, a former upstate New York bus driver, who admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl, will not serve jail time. On Thursday, Jefferson County Judge James P. McClusky sentenced 26-year-old Shane M. Piche to 10 years probation, reports The Watertown Daily Times.

In a plea deal, Piche pled guilty to third-degree rape and will be registered as a Level 1 sex offender, the minimum level. According to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, a level 1 designation indicates a low risk of committing the crime again thus the offender's full home address will not be available in an online database.

While the district attorney's office sought for Piche to be registered a level higher, in which his information would be available to the public, the judge determined the decision to be appropriate since Piche had no prior arrests and there was "only one victim in this plea." The judge also issued three no-contact orders against Piche who, according to the Times, will have to pay $375 in court fees and a $1,000 special sex registration fee. Piche is not allowed to be alone with anyone under 17-years-old, although some exceptions were approved.

As reported by the state police, Piche met the girl working as a bus driver, but the sexual assault happened at his home. He was additionally charged with unlawfully dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly providing her with alcohol.

In a statement given to WWNY-TV, the survivor's mother expressed, "I wish Shane Piche would have received time in jail for the harm he caused to my child. He took something from my daughter she will never get back and has caused her to struggle with depression and anxiety."

The tone-deaf statement from Piche's defense attorney, Eric Swartz, demonstrates ignorance shown far too often in cases of rape and sexual assault. Concern for the perpetrator's future surpasses the severity of the crime and the resulting emotional impact on the survivor's mental and physical health. Whether or not the assault "isn't something that didn't cause him pain," and "isn't something that didn't have consequences," is asinine compared to the emotional burdens survivors of sexual abuse carry with them for life. Piche's sex offender registry will eventually expire. Trauma does not.

Harvey Weinstein's Sexual Assault Case Takes A Crucial Step Forward
R. Kelly May Be Indicted After Another Video Of Him Reportedly Sexually Assaulting An Underage Girl Resurfaces

Early this year, Lifetime premiered the groundbreaking docuseries Surviving R. Kelly, renewing public awareness of Kelly's decades-long predatory behavior. In 2002, Kelly was indicted in Illinois on 21 counts of child pornography in relation to a videotape reportedly showing a then-32-year-old Kelly sexually assaulting athen-14-year-old girl. The case didn't make it to trial for six years, during which public attention waned and Kelly re-branded his image, even going so far as to poke fun at the allegations against him (Remember Trapped In The Closet?). Kelly was acquitted of the charges in 2008; jurors said they made the decision because the girl believed to be in the video refused to testify, though 14 witnesses identified her.

Surviving R. Kelly is a difficult and necessary watch and, with great attention to detail, explores the timeline of Kelly's reported assaults and explains how the abuses occurred and furthermore, how he was able to persist in this behavior for so long. The New Yorker reports that two weeks ago, attorney Michael Avenatti tweeted, "Since April, I have been working on the R. Kelly matter. The results of that work will soon be known. We are going to blow this wide open for the sake of each of his victims and one less pedophile will be free. Count on it." Today, CBS reports that Chicago law enforcement has confirmed that the prosecutors have obtained a 45-minute tape. Avenatti has said the tape is different from the earlier tape, but has not said if the victim is different from the minor shown in the earlier tape.

This past Thursday, Avenatti tweeted a formal statement where he asserted he was representing "multiple clients in connection with allegations of sexual assault of minors" by Kelly. Avenatti additionally said he gave a videotape of "Kelly engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl underage," to the Cook County state's attorney, Kim Foxx, and that the timeline of the incidents are within the Illinois statute of limitations. This means Kelly could be arrested very soon and finally held accountable for his actions. Read below for the full statement.

In response to press inquiries, attached is a stmt regarding our work on the R. Kelly matter since April, including the discovery of new critical video evidence establishing his guilt. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that this predator is brought to justice. pic.twitter.com/D0dGFzgXlX
