Rick James kidnapping and trafficking a woman with his 21 year old girlfriend whom he forced the victim to preform oral acts on her as he tuned in and is she objected, he would severely abuse her with a scorching crack pipe.

Dave Chappelle and Charlie Murphy basically revived the legacy and reputation of a horrendously deranged cocaine addicted sex pest.

As if Chappelle isn’t already falling off hard enough I candidly pointed out how even his golden years weren’t as golden as they seemed either.

    Polanski had sex with a teenager. She is still saying she consented. I know, it’s still rape, it’s still vile, but I thought I’d point out that he didn’t abuse a 5-year old in case you got that impression.

      I didn’t know much about it so I looked into it a bit. I was thinking, okay maybe she was like 16 or 17 which is the age of consent in some places and maybe he was like 26 or 27. I remember a time when that wasn’t such a big deal; creepy, but accepted. But looking into it, she was 13 and he was 42. I also couldn’t find anywhere she claimed she consented. In fact she openly states that what he did was wrong and has consistently maintained that she said no.

      She did say, “Straight up, what he did to me was wrong. But I wish he would return to America so the whole ordeal can be put to rest for both of us. I’m sure if he could go back, he wouldn’t do it again. He made a terrible mistake but he’s paid for it.” She also sued and settled out of court with him in the 80s and 90s over the matter. She also said, “It’s an unpleasant memory … (but) I can live with it.” She also filed to have the charges dropped as the publicity and discussion of the details of the event have been a continuing source of trauma for her and her family.

      As for my personal feelings on the matter after looking into it? He should come back to the U.S. and serve his time. But as DJT said, “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy.”
