This guy is hilarious on Facebook

"Just go to the cops!" per Rappaport.. Rape, is about power. The victim afterwards feels Humiliated, ashamed, confused. The perpetrator knows this as well and knows how difficulty it is for the victim to even speak about it to confidants, let alone go to the Cops! To be further aired et al. Again, the perpetrator knows this and further gives him, POWER. And if he be in a position of power, the dynamics are doubled.

I got absolutely nothing from this clip.

That’s not good

Rapaport's response to "Cops in the back pocket" was hilarious.

They were probably worried about their careers.

Wait ... How'd we get on this?? Haha omg I died laughing I love Rappaport

I like Rapaport but come on man. There may be a lot of people who have held this stuff back for fear of being targeted by the powerful people that put them in this shitty position to begin with. This whole thing is shedding a lot of light on whats been going on for decades now. Its unimaginable to think people haven't still been coming forward with this stuff to police officials for years and years. In fact, looking at a lot of these accusations and the history behind them, people have went to the cops a great many times, and nothing has changed. Their are a lot of entertainers and reporters with scores of this in their history, with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. By the standards of a person who can still resume their career despite allegations, or just pay the penalty of settling outside of court. So maybe it takes social media such as twitter for people to start coming forward in a public way. Its not gonna pinpoint all the people responsible for these acts, and some will become falsely accused. Its a lot to wade through. This shit has been going on for years and years. Going to the cops doesn't solve everything, Its surely not a strike against someone who either tried and failed to talk to authority, or those who are finding the courage to speak out now, that they used something like twitter to find their footing and speak up.

And it happens in far lower profile work settings than Hollywood - it's your livelihood, before this story broke, there was no support. I've experienced this first hand, it was truly shocking to me how many people looked the other way. It never occurred to me that I would be doubted. What could I possibly have to gain, it's the most humiliating, horrifying experience of my life. If you have the courage to tell the cops, and the cops blow you off, it shatters your faith in society, maybe even more than the assault itself.

They were fearful to come forward to the authorities because of the repercussions but that didn't stop them from going to Twitter... was Rapaport's point.

I've heard things I've heard things I've heard things I've heard things Holy shit, i think Mike just lagged

I like Rapaport, he's a good actor & real funny. That being said, where is the correlation between someone having a chemical addiction & another person sexually harassing/raping etc. ? Not comparable situations whatsoever.

it does.

My guess is going to the cops involves a lot more on her/his part than going to someone above the accused in the business hierarchy. Going to the cops means rape-kits, official reports with your name on it, having to testify in court, etc. Much more invasive on the victim. Going to their boss, especially if it happened in a work situation, probably just means (at worst) an internal investigation; the cops have to deal with the criminal legal system, which has burden of proof, innocent until proven guilty, etc., whereas a business leader/boss would likely be more responsive with less evidence, since they want to protect the business. In other words, pursuing it criminally means the onus is on you to prove it, but civilly, there is much less required, the onus is on them, and bosses will likely respond because they want to prevent lawsuits and payouts. That said, I take the point that not going to the police means that the accused could continue behaving this way, and isn't criminally punished. I just wanted to take the victim POV, and explain why it might be reasonable to report to corporate heads, but not the police. If you are the type that doesn't take on the victim mentality, and you just want to get on with your life, taking the route that is less invasive and doesn't make your name synonymous with "rape victim" might make sense.

lol @ his reaction to "cops in the back pocket"

A lot of women did go to the cops. A lot of these men do have them in their pockets or at least sleazy lawyers that sweep it under the rug for them. There was that actress that wore a wire for the cops and went back and put herself back in danger to catch him and dude still walked away from it like it was nothing. I want all these “why not speak up then” people to look Terry Crews in the eye and ask him why he did nothing about it or didn’t speak up until all these women started to speak up. It doesn’t matter your size, your race, your age, your gender, your orientation, your job, your wealth, intimidation is paralyzing.

Rapaport is never not annoying. He must've been unbearable out the womb.

There are people who definitley have the cops in their back pocket

Yeah, the cops should be the first option but when there is little to no evidence they can't do anything. instead trying to defame the culprit seems to be the go-to, which makes sense.

the first time I saw Whitney wearing a wig that looked like it was fresh from the box I knew.....

Does Jim only have one Shirt?

There was a team that intercepted allegations to the cops. They just want it to stop. So telling the studio head etc means they should be on notice and the victim protected henceforth. People were threatened. You gotta understand the mindset of abusers and the machinations.

jim playing devils advocate. rapaport saying go to the cops. some did, nothing happened and powerful people can make this stuff go away.

prob because for a celebrity its easier to get thousands of people to spread he word and be guarded by their outrage then the media pics up on it and ruins the abusers career. its safer for them and they personally dont have to go through court and stuff. for the average person though they should go to the police. imo though if it didnt matter enough to go to the police 20 years ago then they shouldnt complain about it now.

People may view it as a safer space, a better medium to spread their trauma. Remember that in the justice system, you are innocent until proven guilty. In the public eye, typically, you are guilty until proven innocent.

Bryan Timberlake doesn't make me an idiot Bry. I've never been abused but then it does make sense to out in public if he authorities can't be trusted.

Rappaport is himself in every role he's every played, which is to say he's been pretending to be a black man for some time now.

Why is it crazy to think cops can be bought off?

No doubt, everybody sounds brokenhearted

if you go to the police you have to go through that system, if you come out to someone without legal authority you still have the choice of how to proceed.

When there isn't anyone from the a-list or b-list to interview, get someone from the d-list

When there’s smoke there’s Whitney

Remember the article that was killed years ago and the audio that was sat on.. some Mike Rap there was at least some suppression of the story.

He's right. Tell your loved ones and the authorities, not some fucking website.

Do rich people have someone in their pocket? Corrupt legal system. Who gets to power, how and who pays, get paid the most?

Not every big celebrity has been accused of being gay

I like Michael Rapaport.He is as real as it gets.

1:31 LMAO

Are you kidding Michael Rapport? It's easier to just tell people rather than tell the cops. It is preferable sometimes to just let an injustice go rather than going through the system. What does it accomplish to tell the cops something that you can't prove?

Because it gives it stage for others to speak up

2003ish, My girlfriend and I met Michael, she posed with him in a photo, as I brought up the camera he reach down and grabbed her butt. Concord in L.A.

Everyone in Hollywood knew. Everyone in Hollywood knew Everyone in Hollywood knew.

People 99% of the time will not come out about the molster till 35 to 50!

They all know what spacey was up to

Was I the only one who had no idea Kevin Spacey was gay?!

Michael Rapaport looks like Gothmog from Lord of the Rings

Is that Don Self?

Rappaport raised an interesting point: Why not go to your parents or the cops? It was thirty years ago when Rapp was fourteen years old. Why is he coming out now? Oh yeah Spacey is guilty and needs to be punished no doubt but that thirty year wait to say something is the biggest thorn in my side. No one pays attention to those details.

Why does no one ever ask Michael about working with woody allen over and over again ...........

Whatever happened to having bodyguards?

Rapaport is a D list actor who is lucky to have the career he had - have no use for him

Always liked Mike, seems real as fuck!

Fucking Love this dude! Rapaport for President 2020!

Why Twitter. Hollywood has a lot of players . A lot of these guys not all are gay. I heard that will smith is gay, Travolta, Charlie sheen. They won’t come out and say it but Hollywood has a lot of players that prey on the young.

Is this a Mandela Effect because I have always new that Kevin Spacey was gay in the days of the Usual Suspects. I think there was an article in the online newspaper about it and he didn't deny it and nobody cared, it was old news even back then.

Heard things

“He was on some rape shit” lmao

The stats show a LOT of victimized women don't go to the cops, for obvious reasons. One, being assaulted or especially raped brings a stigma (thanks to society and certain religions) that is really shameful for a lot of people. Two, it's tough to admit to a bunch of people (cops, parents, lawyers) who are then going to make you prove it. Three, proof is really hard. Even with DNA, the defence becomes it was consensual, and the history of assault shows the results favour the man. Four, it destroys the woman's life, either in terms of relationships or extra trauma, that never gets resolved. So ya, thats why women don't go to the cops.

Love Rapaport !!

Actually!!! The cops are in the back pocket of Hollyweird!!! Smh.... But leave it to a celebrity to laugh and joke about it. Ppl HAVE went to the cops. And YES!!!! THE COPS HAVE COVERED THINGS UP... ESPECIALLY IN HOLLYWEIRD!!!!! I used to kinda liked this guy.

I'm listening now for over a minute and this guy doesn't seem to have one coherent thought... but hey: 2min to go!

Its not about cops in the back pocket! Its about getting ostracized from the industry. c'mon guys

Please, don't just assume that because YOU never heard of something when it happened then no one else did either. Don't just assume people who are wronged and speak of it years later are to be automatically discredited because you THINK this is the first time they are telling people about it and they never went to the police or told other proper authorities. You don't know this and it makes you sound really bad:(:( And mean.

I just lost a ton of respect for this white straight man asking, “Why don’t you just go to the cops?”

ACCUSED????????!!!!!!!!!

Rappaport, for an actor, you're really bad at being empathetic. I guess that's why you're not that great at your job.
