He was gay even when he was on Star Trek. Everyone in the cast except William Shatner knew he was gay. He and Nichelle Nichols were friends long before Star Trek, she met Takei when he was performing in college theater.

Andrew Kreisberg, co-creator/executive producer of the CW/Warner Bros TV DC series The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow, has been suspended from his duties by the studio today over allegations of sexual harassment, with WBTV launching an internal investigation.

“We have recently been made aware of allegations of misconduct against Andrew Kreisberg,” Warner Bros. TV Group said in a statement Friday night. “We have suspended Mr. Kreisberg and are conducting an internal investigation. We take all allegations of misconduct extremely seriously, and are committed to creating a safe working environment for our employees and everyone involved in our productions.

Kreisberg has been one of the top lieutenants of Greg Berlanti, the boss of the CW/DC universe. He has been a key auspice on all DC series, with primary focus on serving as showrunner of The Flash.

“We were recently made aware of some deeply troubling allegations regarding one of our showrunners,” Berlanti Prods.’ principals Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter said in a statement. “We have been encouraging and fully cooperating with the investigation into this by Warner Bros.

“There is nothing more important to us than the safety and well-being of our cast, crew, writers, producers and any staff,” they added. “We do not tolerate harassment and are committed to doing everything we can to make an environment that’s safe to work in and safe to speak up about if it isn’t.”

According to people familiar with the situation, several staffers on The Flash have complained about Kreisberg’s behavior.

On at least one occasion, Kreisberg interacted with a young female writer on The Flash early in the show’s run in a manner that was described as “inappropriate” and also “a hostile work environment,” according to a source close to the situation.

The woman in question had worked for Kreisberg in various capacities and people close to her described his behaviors to Deadline as ongoing and escalating over time.

In her role as a writer, the woman met with Kreisberg on a Friday and told him that she wanted to be let out of her contract early and leave the show. He asked her to wait and talk to other people who encouraged her to consider staying until the end of the season because there were only a couple of weeks left. She decided that that was not what she wanted because she felt uneasy and left within few days, sources said.

The writer did not site sexual harassment for abruptly leaving the show weeks before the end of the season but according to sources, the “toxic” environment on the WBTV series that she felt from Kreisberg made her want to leave immediately.

There are allegations from at least one other woman, a director who did episodes of Arrow and The Flash, who had complained of inappropriate behavior by Kreisberg.

An attorney for Kreisberg could not be reached for comment.

I bet he wishes he had super-speed powers right about now
 
There's a reason why many of us have said don't be messing at work to the younger ones on here. We've seen things happen. Maybe not like what's going on now...but we've seen enough. Protect yourself. Don't put yourself in a position where someone could even question anything about you ever.

No doubt that Shatner did give Takei shit for being gay. When Takei got married to his longtime partner, everyone (surviving cast members)was at his except Shatner. It was said that he was mad that he didn't get invited.

Like the saying goes, "If you don't want it to happen, don't let it happen."

Well once automation takes root this will be a moot problem anyway.

The reality is that money, success, and accomplishing your goals is much more beneficial than sex and women. Gloria steinem said that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. I agree. A man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle.

The reality is that we convince ourselves we need someone when we really don't. Society needs men and women, but on an individual basis, you actually don't need anyone beyond sex and procreation (assuming you desire one or both of those things).

There is a saying, paraphrasing a bit, men lose money chasing women, but men never lose women chasing money. The reality is that with technology and so on, artificial wombs, sex robots/companion robots, people are going to withdraw from each other at a faster rate.

My suggestion is to be respectful of everyone regardless of gender, be stone cold to the opposite sex at the workplace, and focus on yourself. Your job/career is more important than any sec you might get (not to mention the amount of people with stds walking around nowadays). If you must date, do it outside of work, and keep your relationships as far removed from your place of business as possible.

A little advice my father gave me, "get your own coffee, women can try to put you in a position to lose your job especially as a black man. Keep your guard up in the work place and never let your female assistant or coworker get anything for you."

He wasn't wrong.

If you value love and relationships and family you need someone. The fucked world and state of humanity is what is wrong, not humans. We start off just fine until ignorant adults start teaching us and boom now we are in a cycle, a never ending cycle of ignorance, insensitivity, fragility, anger, ect. All because people forgot how humans work and made changes we never needed.

This is how we people are going with race relations as well. More so here in America. My dad once said no need to make segregation laws people will segregate themselves WILLINGLY!

The fucked up part of all this is, from what I've heard, Louis apologized to these women, personally, years ago.

Shit! They tried to do the same thing with Jason Momoa when he apologized YEARS ago for a remark he made about rape. But you see the power of some of these studios with Justice League coming out they aren't letting the controversy with him or Ben Affleck stick. Like people are suggesting it is unfortunately becoming a witch hunt.
 
Olympian Aly Raisman just like McKayla Maroney, Says She Was also Sexually Abused by Former Team Doctor:


There’s a bombshell accusation from Olympic great Aly Raisman. In an interview airing on 60 Minutes this Sunday, 23-year-old Raisman joins other teammates in accusing Dr. Larry Nassar of sexual abuse under the guise of treatment. Raisman says she was just 15 when it happened. She tweeted: “I had a dream to go to the Olympics and the things i had to endure to get there were unnecessary and disgusting.”

EDIT:

Here's the Inside edition clip from a few weeks ago when McKayla Maroney spoke up:

Gold medal gymnast McKayla Maroney says she was sexually abused for seven years by disgraced former Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar. She posted on Twitter using the viral hashtag "me too," claiming, "It started when I was 13 years old" and "it didn't end until I left the sport. It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was 'treated'." The 21-year-old said she was assaulted before her team won gold at the 2012 London Olympics and before she won the silver on the vault.

Now, this is the real deal and should be investigated and prosecuted. I think he eventually admitted to everything. Didn't he?

I'll take it step further than that. Women just won't be hired as much. Or promoted. Men are very practical creatures. Why take on the potential hassle when it can be avoided altogether? This also means fewer women in the workplace currently will get mentored and promoted as they should. And, that's what's sad. But, damn, you work hard to build something successful. Do, you really want to risk it being torn down over an accusation? In 2017, that's all it takes. Check out this article. This is the result of Princess Feminism. It's a quick read;
