On the comment about the movie producer ken was completely inappropriate. I agree with you on that. I don't agree that thinking she was probably silly to be alone in the toilet with someone very drunk is saying she deserved it. No situation is black and white. I have some sympathy for both of them because it was clearly a spur of the moment drunken mistake that was upsetting for her and is going to publicly haunt him for a long time. What it wasnt from what I saw and heard was some kind of predetory attack.
