Well, that's true, and so far, I've yet to hear/read any of the actual allegations from his accusers, but nevertheless, the news really only reported his statement as a post-script to their report on Charlie Rose, and sadder still, even he's like, "What I did weren't 'wrongdoings.'"I'd normally agree, but you only read one report. He's grabbing and groping too, allegedly. The "hugging" thing was his statement; not the statement of his accusers. He seems like a creeper.
But still, I think it's sad that we've gotten to this point. Again, I'm even seeing new studies and things that are discouraging parents from hugging their own kids, because it teaches kids about consentual physical contact, and that they should only hug their kids if they come to them for hugs first. That's just sad. I mean pets are even the same way: if you don't show much or any affection to them, they eventually grow into aggressive or reclusive animals that want nothing to do with their humans. My last bunny was like that: her previous owners hardly had anything to do with her, so when I adopted her, she hated it when I'd try to pet her or rub her or anything.
