Actor Grabbed Her Twice

February 13, 2019 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] We’ve told you stories before about men in the entertainment industry behaving badly with female actors.

Here’s another one who’d better not get caught wearing a #MeToo button!

This TV show has been on a major network for several seasons.

The show runner is one of the most prolific in the business. However, the fact that Show Runner has multiple shows on the air at once may be be hurting their ability to know exactly what is going on with this particular show.

The star of the show is a good-looking actor. We’re tell you just one story about his bad behavior on set.

A beautiful and experienced actress was doing a multi-episode arc on the show. She did such a good job that the rest of the cast was told that she was likely going to be made a series regular.

That didn’t happen. Here’s why.

She was on set, prepping to film a scene with [The Star]. She was doing a last minute look at her lines when [The Star] came up from behind her and grabbed her and then put his hands over her eyes. She immediately pulled his hands off of her and turned around. She was obviously annoyed and told him, “Don’t do that!”

He started laughing… and then straight up grabbed her ass with both hands!

There were about thirty people on set at the time watching this happen. We were all shocked!

She struggled with him and then finally shoved him in the chest with both hands to make him get away from her.

Then [Other Male Actor] came over and slapped [The Star] on the back like he was congratulating him and gave him a big bear hug. The two of them were laughing together.

[Actress] started walking away and [The Star] yelled after her, “Come on, Girl! I was just playing!”

She was really upset and went and hid behind a pillar. Some of the female cast and crew went over and were trying to comfort her. They were talking about whether or not she should talk to somebody about what happened. She stayed behind the pillar until they called for the take.

Can you imagine being at work and having your male coworker came up and grab your butt with both hands?!

Ugh.

So, what happened after that little display of ass-grabbing and masculine jocularity?

Well, The Star still has his job. And the Other Male Actor who congratulated him still has his job.

But Our Actress was told at the end of the day not to come back!

Her character was abruptly written off, and Our Actress wound up just being a flash in the pan instead of a series regular.

Fans of The Show: Now you know why that female character’s arc was so sloppy and obviously unfinished.

Actresses: Don’t ever turn your back on The Star of this show. It might wind up costing you your job!

Show Runner: Now you know what really happened that day.

    I think it’s sad (and I mean the patriarchal society we live in) when women have to resort to violence, but I’m with you on this. It’s the only thing some men understand. Like the men who taught my RAD course said, you’ve told them once to stop. They didn’t. Now you’re protecting yourself.

    Makes me sad to say this is likely The Flash. Greg Berlanti has multiple shows on the CW. The star is probably Grant Gustin, the other actor Tom Cavanagh and the actress *. * should have been a bigger role for her but she was written out quickly. The biggest clue is “flash in the pan”.

    SHow Runner

    TV Show: The Flash
    The Show Runner: Greg Berlanti
    Star: Grant Gustin
    Other Male Actor: Carlos Valdes

    Idk, but this would be the 3rd sexual harassment scandal -that we know of- in Berlanti’s shows. So clearly he needs to clean house.

    TV Show:

    The Show Runner: Dr. Phil McGraw

    The Star: Michael Weatherly

    The Other Male Actor: Freddy Rodriguez

    [Optional] What does the Show Runner need to do?

    Eliza Dushku should have been given a better ending. Her character was interesting and would have been refreshing to the show. Counseling Weatherly should have been priority #1.

    TV Show: The Flash

    The Show Runner: Greg Berlanti

    The Star: Grant Gustin

    The Other Male Actor: Tom Cavanaugh

    [Optional] What does the Show Runner need to do: Since this incident has multiple witnesses, the star needs to be fired, which would end the show so that will not happen.

    I wonder who the actress is?

  7. DocGirl says

    Isn’t this Eliza Dushku? Didn’t she just win a big lawsuit because her storyline was cut short, due to her complaining about harassment on set?

    The Flash, Berlanti, Gustin, and I am going to say *. Her exit to another show was sudden, and among fans the lack of her fabulous posterior being on the show, is deeply mourned.

  12. amberd68 says

    February 14, 2019 at 1:23 pm

    Eliza Dushku came out against CBS for breaking the non-disclosure statement that they all signed when she got her settlement b/c they fired her when she reported the sexual harassment. variety.com has the entire article (Dec 2018).

    TV Show: Bull
    The Show Runner: Glenn Gordon Caron
    The Star: Michael Weatherly
    The Other Male Actor: not sure
    [Optional] What does the Show Runner need to do? He needs to find another station to work with. Clearly CBS is having some major issues.

    Show: Empire
    Show Runner: Ilene Chaiken (Empire/Star among others)
    Actor 1: Yazz
    Actor 2: Terrance Howard ?

    TV Show: 9-1-1
    Showrunner: Ryan Murphy
    Star: Oliver Stark

  15. kweenkurdles says

    Greg Berlanti is the show runner.

    Show: the Flash (“flash in the pan”)

    Actor: Thomas Grant Gustin

    The rest no clue!

  16. chlofa says

    February 14, 2019 at 3:59 am

    This has to be one of Ryan Murphy’s shows. Haven’t seen the latest season but I’m going with American Horror Story
    Not sure about the actors

  17. SilverLining says

    February 14, 2019 at 12:49 am

    All I possibly know is…
    -the TV Show is The Flash,
    -the Star is Grant Gustin,
    -the Showrunner may be Andrew Kreisberg
    -I have no idea who the Other Male Actor could be.
    (I have never watched the show so these are definitely just my guesses.)

    I would grab something and punch him. Or grab his hair and shake him a bit. They never expect this, and this confustion and scary look change everything. You are not a helpless victim anymore, because You won! My mum did this all her life. I can only recommend that.

  19. gossipycat says

    February 13, 2019 at 11:31 pm

    Show runner: Chuck Lorre, for reasons that elude me, has about a million shows.

    Not sure about the rest.

  20. jrizzo says

    The Flash/Greg Berlanti/Grant Gustin/?/?
    Clue: flash in the pan
    Oh, this makes me sad, and I don’t even watch this show. I just loved Grant Gustin in his Glee days. Berlanti should fire him and if the show tanks, oh well. He’s got plenty of them.

  21. TruthSayer says

    TV Show: The Flash (clue: “wound up just being a flash in the pan”)

    And the actress the “star” assaulted is keeping her mouth shut? There you have it, it’s called enabling and thirst. If people don’t fight for themselves then don’t expect others to do it for you.

    • yo1774 says

      February 14, 2019 at 12:11 pm

      No, it’s calling saving your career. Unless you have prove is your word against his word and you could end being trashed on a trial.
      There’s a reason harassment (of any type) it get unpunished and that’s because it’s very difficult to prove.
      In this case is seems there are some guesses, but HW (and big corporations because this is not jsut a HW thing) generally side with the stronger part

    • MademoiselleRose says

      February 15, 2019 at 12:14 am

      Wow, victim blaming, you’re a real champion. She already lost that job for not going along with it and you expect her t destroy her career as well. Nice.

    • Soledani says

      February 15, 2019 at 1:10 am

      @yo1774 The blind says there were 30 people on set who witnessed this, so it wouldn’t be a case of her word against his. The witnesses could back her up.

    • Catharsis says

      February 19, 2019 at 4:44 pm

      Soledani – Who’s to say that any of those 30 witnesses would back her up? They want to keep their jobs, too. The whole situation is wrong and sick. “Star” should be fired and his buddy should be fired or at least suspended/financially penalized for encouraging sexual assault. Our patriarchal society is a * joke.

  24. sabrina325 says

    The Flash, Greg Berlanti, Grant Gustin

  25. charlene2345 says

    This sounds like it could be one of the “Chicago” franchise shows, or “Law and Order: SVU”? Dick Wolf has so many shows on the air right now.

    I don’t watch those shows, though, so I don’t know any of the actors or their ages.

  26. I Am PunkA says

    February 13, 2019 at 7:11 pm

    Sounds like what happened to Eliza Dushku on Bull with Michael Weatherly.

    No clue but idiots like Star need a reality check on that behavior.

  27. chicagofix says

    February 13, 2019 at 7:04 pm

    Greg Berlanti for showrunner

    • ZanBee says

      February 14, 2019 at 6:35 pm

      Show: The Flash.
      Star: Grant Gustin.
      Other Male Actor: probably Tom Cavanaugh
      Now can someone tell me what happened to Jesse L. Martin, aka Joe West?!?

    • SamAloud says

      February 16, 2019 at 3:11 pm

      Jesse hurt his back! And asked to be away from the show for a while.

  28. aaaefof8 says

    February 13, 2019 at 6:50 pm

    Ew. Well, I hope I’m wrong but the only one that came to mind and fit the bill was Riverdale.

    The TV Show: Riverdale (on a major network, for several seasons now)
    The Show Runner: Greg Berlanti (indeed one of the most prolific TV producers)
    The Star: K.J. Apa (under 30, good-looking)
    The Other Male Actor: Cole Sprouse (he was featured in these scenes so he was on set)

    • BobNYC says

      February 14, 2019 at 6:51 pm

      Interesting guess..,.,but…isn’t K.J. gay? Also, this his just doesn’t sound like him. This behavior is more like Grant Gustin on FLASH.

  29. summer847 says

    February 13, 2019 at 6:33 pm

    No idea but that is just disgusting. Especially how it was “handled”.

  30. JuiceBoxHero says

    February 13, 2019 at 6:25 pm

    Grey’s Anatomy
    Shonda Rhimes
    Giacomo Gionnotti
    Atticus Lincoln
    Jennifer Grey
    Fire some people. Make it clear that actions have consequences.

    Spielberg
    Weatherly (yuck)
