It's like the entire culture is based off creeps and fakes. I'm kind of torn in that many of these actors/actresses put fame and money ahead of doing what was right. Is fear of getting blackballed a good enough reason to enable the cycle to repeat over and over and over to the people that come behind you? Like I said maybe as an outsider I can't fully understand and maybe I would do the same in their situation but there does seem to be a degree of selfishness all around.

That's not unusual though when it comes down to it. Many abused people put a smiling face on in public especially when they believe if they don't their career, health or life could be in jeopardy.
It is really not a Hollywood/entertainment industry only thing. It happens in every industry in every city in every country in the world.
My fear is that this is indeed being viewed just as a Hollywood problem more and more as the days go by because that is all we hear about. I certainly don't want to see the "regular" person remaining silent because the behavior purge stops at the edge of Hollywood.
