The woman is in her late 20s. So not some naive young thing. The only time this should be a "thing" is if it was not consensual. Aside from that, big whoop.

If his statement is the truth, I hope he gets every ounce of that 50 million. CBC is gonna come out of this looking BAD.

Very unfortunate situation for Jian and a d-bag move by CBC.
Although he had to have known territory he was treading by engaging with women who enjoy that type of play

I like that you have (based on this and the other thread) completely judged him and his character based solely on rumours. It shows a commitment to to closemindedness that is to be admired.

there is much missing here. Something doesn't add up and i'll be interested in hearing the other side of the story. Perhaps it's the rumoured $50,000,000 lawsuit which is colouring my mind (as it's an absurd amount for a wrongful dismissal action).
If he was fired for his personal sexual preferences, then, provided his preferences were legal, that is totally in appropriate and the CBC wrongfully terminated him.
However, if the story comes out and it isn't consensual, or there are other aspects to it, then ... well ... i think he gets what is coming to him.
One thing to be clear though, with him hiring a PR firm, his side will have much better penetration into the marketplace (no pun intended). It will be important to distinguish fact from spin.

I don't care if it's consensual and legal, anyone who derives pleasure from inflicting pain and/or humiliation on others is a scumbag.

What do think of people who derive pleasure from being humiliated and recieving pain?
Your getting into some hard wired genetics for what people find arrousing. If it's consensual what business is it of mine.

I'll echo the thoughts of what Table 5, Minnie and others have said... who cares. What happens in the bedroom between two consenting adults is their business. Late 20's isn't late teens for the guy who got all up in arms about that.
Too bad for Jian, there really isn't anywhere else in Canada for him to do what he does.

Bull#### or truth, I don't know, but there are a few tweets going around of this ilk...
Kate K. @kateseventy8 6m6 minutes ago @fakedansavage start with searching " jian ghomeshi" and " women." This is something every media/music lady in Toronto has known about.

I fail to see the connection. People who are into BDSM are generally more respecting of peoples boundaries and wishes. What they are in to doesn't make them less of a person.

If Jian's Facebook post is 100% the truth, then he most definitely is entitled to claim he was wrongfully terminated. What goes on in the bedrooms of consenting adults is of absolutely nobody's business except the people involved.
Something tells me we haven't yet heard the full story, though.

CBC is a media company in the business of attracting viewers. If they reasonably believe the behaviours of an employee will harm their ability to carry out that business then, subject to human rights laws, it's completely appropriate for them to fire that employee.
Chances are Gomeshi had a contract that detailed events that would allow for termination, and the lawsuit will be based on contractual interpretation. Outside of a contract, any employer can fire an employee at any time without cause provided sufficient notice or compensation in lieu of notice is given (at least in BC)

I'm guessing the CBC lawyers would have vetted the decision.

I think there's a wiring problem, but pleasure from being the recipient of pain, and pleasure at causing pain in others, are completely different beasts, IMO.
