Learn English meaning of ‘harassment in Hollywood’

This is a sensible topic. I believe a lot of the rumours surrounding Hollywood are true. It’s a complicated environment where many questionable deeds are done for the sake of fame and stardom. But you also have to consider that, nowadays, it’s easy to accuse someone rich, famous and influent just because you can. Maybe someone has a grudge on that person, or she rejected another person’s work because she didn’t think it was good enough, or it wasn’t what she was looking for. In this, and many other cases, people are just trying to tarnish someone’s reputation. Even if the presumed offender is found innocent, his reputation will always be stained by that episode.

In cases that the offender is guilty, should we continue to watch their movies and work? Well it kinda depends on the type of work he does. For instance, if a director is guilty of sexual harassment and then continues to make movies about “sexual equality” and other subjects like that, then he wasn’t just proven guilty but he was also proved to be a fraud. I wouldn’t follow his work anymore.

In other cases, the artist already had a record that showed that, to put it mildly, he wasn’t uncomfortable with doing movies, art or music that explored the harassment and overpowering of others.

Finally, there is still another situation where the artist may be proven guilty of such rumours but its work has nothing to do with these matters, nor he made any reputation about putting these topics in his work. In that case, it’s really up to people, who follow that artist’s work, to decide if they continue to follow it or not.

If there is any misconduct it should be reported immediately; otherwise gradually it will lose credibility. Nowadays, it’s quite rewarding to accuse someone rich and influential on the grounds of harassment to pocket tons of money or for calculated defamation. Such cases need to be critically and impartially examined and if the accusers proved dishonest they too should be treated like criminals. This too should be kept in mind that some of these transactions are silently consensual at the time of happening.
