Casting Couch Coercion

August 24, 2021 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] It may be hard to believe, but there were some people in Hollywood who were puzzled when the tides turned against Harvey Weinstein.

It’s not that they thought Harvey Weinstein was innocent. It’s just that they thought another well-known producer deserved to be condemned for similar behavior!

This producer tends to focus more on TV than on movies. His bad behavior is a well-known secret among those who have auditioned for him.

It’s funny how hard people went after Harvey when [TV Producer] is the gay version of him. We’re not talking about r*pe but we are talking about coercion and bad use of power with the guys who audition for him.

What kind of coercion?

If you are a young white gay man and you want to get cast on one of his shows you pretty much have to perform a s*xual act. You don’t want to do it? Fine. You won’t get cast, though.

If you manage to actually get cast on one of his TV shows and want to move up to a bigger role, same thing.

He’s not the only one doing this, so I don’t mean to single him out, but he is one of the most notorious.

Is there a reason his victims aren’t speaking out?

For now all of his victims just whisper among themselves because they are afraid. He is very powerful in the industry and he could end your career if you cross him.

So young women are not the only victims of casting couches in Hollywood.

[Optional] Do you think it’s harder for men to speak out against this kind of behavior?

    If he looked anything like the guy in the photo he could do anything he wants with me.

    Sadly, it can be any number of creatures.
    Because of the lack of men wiling to come forward, I assume it’s more difficult. I feel bad for those guys.

    Predators need to be named & shamed.
    I lived in LA for a short time. So much willingness to validate bad behavior for the sake of fame & fortune or even clawing ones way to the middle.

    So many choices! I’ve read rumors like that about

    Ryan Murphy
    Greg Berlanti
    Jeff Davis … new show in the works and he did the TV version of Teen Wolf, which was filled with handsome young guys, and some could not act at all.

    The subtext beneath the fear of speaking out ruining their careers is that even in 2021, being a gay male actor in Hollywood itself is believed to be able to ruin a career, or at least to limit career options. There’s still an belief that an audience that has no trouble believing a straight actor can play gay won’t buy a gay actor playing straight.

    As long as that belief persists, he’ll be able to perpetuate his abuse b/c “actor x is gay” will be the headline instead of the abuse.

    Ryan Murphy- This is well know in hollyood
    yes if they themselves aren’t out yet they won’t come forward

  10. ocius1 says

    August 25, 2021 at 7:41 am

    TV Producer: This sounds like Ryan Murphy b/c he’s powerful and casts a lot of LGBTQ2+ actors

    [Optional] Do you think it’s harder for men to speak out against this kind of behavior? At the moment yes, unfortunately Hollywood hasn’t caught up to the rest of the western world being ok with gay, and there’s the macho stereotype for men in general

  11. timpeaks says

    August 25, 2021 at 6:53 am

    Yes, it’s much harder for men because they’d be admitting to an act of homosexuality–the kiss of death for a wannabe movie star!

  12. lila8245 says

    August 25, 2021 at 6:17 am

    Ryan Murphy. No surprise.

    Optional: Maybe not harder, but probably more embarrassing. Funny, I just finished Murphy’s “Hollywood” and there was a scene that showcased men back in the 1950s on the casting couch of a powerful producer (which is apparently how Rock Hudson shot to fame). That scene must have hit close to home.

    The first person that comes to mind is Chuck Lorre but I hope I am wrong( I probably am) because I really like him and the shows he produces.

    Here’s some gay male producers. Don’t know which though.
    Ryan Murphy
    Michael Patrick King
    Marc Cherry
    Dan Bucatinsky
    Bradley Bredeweg
    [Optional] Harder to speak out, yes. I think men might experience more stigma and shame on top of fear of losing their careers.

    TV Producer: Ryan Murphy

    Optional: I think it’s harder because other men most of the time don’t take it seriously. It’s such a shame because no one should ever experience this behavior.

  39. parkland45 says

    August 24, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    No idea who this subhuman is but he needs to be taken down, just like Harvey.

    Yes, I believe it’s harder for men to admit they’ve been sexually abused (just like the men who are abused, beaten up, by their wives).

  40. Ginger says

    I wonder if it’s about Bryan Singer because everybody knows about it already.

  43. 4girls4 says

    August 24, 2021 at 5:27 pm

    No clue but it’s hard to claim Victimhood if you go along because you want something in return. You know it’s wrong but the Bright Lights mean more to you than your body

  44. michelex23 says

    I don’t know if it’s harder, but men would probably be believed and listened to more

  54. carriebradshaw says

    August 24, 2021 at 4:34 pm

    I think it’s especially hard for young gay men, who want to stay in his closet in order to have big female fanbase. And they are the easiest targets for hollyweird couch predators.

  55. SilentWhisper666 says

    August 24, 2021 at 4:31 pm

    Sounds like Ryan Murphy

  56. davidronaldgood says

    August 24, 2021 at 4:23 pm

    I’m going to say Ryan Murphy.
    With all the pretty boys and rumors revolving around many of them.

  57. leahb16 says

    August 24, 2021 at 4:16 pm

    TV Producer: Ryan Murphy

    [Optional] Do you think it’s harder for men to speak out against this kind of behavior?

    I think it’s hard for anyone to speak out, so I don’t that I’d say it’s harder for them.

  58. roxyrebels says

    August 24, 2021 at 4:10 pm

    Ryan Murphy, 100%! Evan Rachel Wood dropped a lot of hints about his abusive behavior to a male actor friend of hers last year, but she wouldn’t specifically say Ryan’s name because she feels it’s her friends place to Name him when he is ready too.

  63. jannes715 says

    August 24, 2021 at 3:52 pm

    Ryan Murphy-
    I think there is a stereotype of men being more sexual so they must “like it” or “want it”, which is obviously wrong. I think there is more doubt when it’s a man for whatever reason.
    Also, some may be in the closet or straight but willing to do what they have to to get a job and don’t want to be outed for it. So it’s double pressure. ..
