The Cookie Monster

[Blind Gossip] These actresses on a current TV series got a little tired of a certain actor making them feel uncomfortable with his overly personal behavior.

One was creeped out by the fact that he would whisper in her ear, “You’re my chocolate muse.” She asked him to stop – and he would – but a few days later he would start up again.

Instead of going to HR, she took matters into her own hands.

He loves chocolate chip cookies. She baked some for him with both regular chocolate chips and some [chocolate laxative] and gave them to him as soon as he got to set. She told him that they were a gift from her and [a couple of other actresses on the set who had the same problem with him] and that he shouldn’t share them with anyone else. She said he ate all of them.

We’ll cut to the chase. Approximately six hours later, he was in the bathroom. For an hour.

When he emerged, she walked up to him and whispered in his ear, “Don’t call me your chocolate muse ever again. Understand, douchebag?”

He nodded. Message received.

He’s been incredibly respectful on the set ever since.

    No idea on the blind.

    When I was in my early 20’s, I was working in a restaurant to help pay the bills. One day my manager beckoned me over across the dining room by crooking his finger at me. When I got over there, I asked him what was up. “Nothing,” he said with a smirk. “I just wanted to see if you’d come if I fingered you.” I lost my ever-loving mind at him and threatened to report him to corporate if he ever tried something like that with me or anyone else again. He didn’t.

    Not boss or coworker but the head of our dept. in university once told all of us girls we should pose in bikinis to recruit for our major.

    Charmed Reboot – One of the “sisters is black” (and a Brit) hence the chocolate muse reference. Plus the term muse sounds like something a British person might say to be flirty if the person doing it is who I think it is.

    Yes, a lot in my teens and 20’s, 30’s and beyond.

    My guess too, with Taraji P. Henson as the woman in question and Terrance Howard as the guy.

    Not sure of the show or actor, but this sounds racist as well as being sexual harassment. Empire? Terrence Howard?
    A month into my job as a federal civil servant, a creepy *, much older supervisor, came up behind me at the copier. He’s way too close when he said, “Mmm, mmh, mmm, I’d like to get into that!” I turned around and said, “You’re not man enough.”, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. He never bothered me again. This was pre-Clinton/Lewinski federal employment.

    Empire.
    Creepy boss had my desk moved into his office. When I was at my desk he would close the door and say things like “I wonder if everyone thinks we’re in her having sex.” I sued the company and they went out of business.

      YAAYYYY YOU!!!! I sued my employer (a huge government department). They settled (paid me hush money) to avoid going to court. I had 26 other female targets volunteer to give testimony against the dept. I’m proud of you – and anyone else who stands up to sleazebags and bullies. It’s stressful.

    No idea who the actress is but good for her!

    *17 years old, I worked at a Clothestime in So Cal. One of the employees was stealing and to find the culprit, we were made to take lie detector tests in-store. Much older creepy guy giving the test asks me if I’m a virgin and if I’ve ever touched myself. I was SEVENTEEN and very naive. So I sputtered and stuttered and he quit his line of questioning.

    But if I knew then what I know now, I’d have beat his ass and sued the company!

    My boss told me, “I hope the doc doesn’t find cobwebs up there during the appt!” and then laughed.

    I’m female. I was 28. I sued. I won (his behavior went from that to far, far worse); years later, I ran into him at a client of mine…

    he almost passed out, I pretended I didn’t know him; he did EVERYTHING I needed him to do on behalf of the client

    client never knew, I never disclosed, win-win

    “Chocolate Muse”?

    Reference to the skin tone of the women he used that line on?

    That’s all I got… Don’t watch tv, so don’t know which show this might be…

  17. ILUVCA4evr says

    TV Show: I don’t know, but can’t wait to find out! Good on those gals!

    What is the creepiest thing they did? 1st job ever. At age 16, I worked for Long’s Drug Store in California. The boss liked to pull his chair to your side of the desk, then sit facing you with his legs wide open. It was very uncomfortable. But what do you do when you’re only 16? I told my parents and they went in and had a chat with him. I got another job

    • Hiiihhhh says

      Omg. This story is amazing!

      Matthew Lillard from Good Girls? I can see Retta doing this lol!

      I’ve never had creepy boss or coworker (thank goodness) but working in the ER has brought a lot off creepy attention patients. Every time I ask for their marital status/phone numbers for registration purposes I get the, “are you asking for yourself? Heh. Heh. Heh.”

      Uh, no.

    • luvprue1 says

      I don’t know if it ‘s Margot Robbie. Chocolate muse seem to hint at the female might be African Americans.

  18. SilentStar says

    That is gold! Not sure what show it is and can’t wait to find out!

    Creepiest boss: When I was busing tables at a restaurant in my teens, the manager was very grabby. It set the tone for the other male employees to be that way too. Although he didn’t get very far with me, he ended up sleeping with my 16 year old friend. While he already had a girlfriend. He was 32. Oh and he also sold cocaine to his staff. Real winner.

  20. Mills007 says

    Have an appointment and really no time, but i did sit for a minute and boy oh boy!! THIS is the bomb dot com!!! YASSSSSSSSSSSSS! Best story ever here……….

    I wish more of them did this…..hahahahahaha….

    No a clear idea who this could be though, but this woman gets my respect….. for some reason i think it could be
    Tessa Thompson…

  21. ChattyCat says

    If this is Leo D PLEASE let the clever baker be Margot Robbie. They’re (and Brad Pitt) currently doing the promotion junket for their latest movie release. Don’t mess with Aussie women! hehe

    • ChattyCat says

      Optional: I have several stories…a sleazey boss who’d make me climb a ladder to clean ceiling fans in my short(ish) skirt; the actor who cornered me in the lift when I was costume maker for our theatre company; the work experience kid, at same theatre co. who stuck around permanently amd hounded me to go out with him as I worked; the self-appointed ‘stud’ who used to leave sticky notes on my computer with overtly provocative suggestions….sheesh.

  22. gossipalooza says

    No idea on the show and not sure if I agree with her actions. Although glad the creep has stopped!

    I once had a co-worker ask me “hypothetically, what would it be like if we f**ked”. He was 20 years my senior and married. I never said anything and now he’s my boss.

  24. badgerette85 says

    This is priceless…
    Not certain of show however.
    Op- yes… back in the late 80’s I worked in an office suite where a (married) gent 20+ years older than myself, would hug and kiss all the women when greeting them. I thought it was just a southern thing. But the time he tried to slip me tongue was an eye opener for young, naive me. – his one and only attempt, as i avoided him there on after.

  25. bertwheeler says

    No idea. But “Chocolate muse”?! Classic move by a guy full of himself. He deserved the cookies.

    Stupid co-workers, but not creepy.
