I don't know the dynamics. Don't really know who Asia is at all. I would strongly agree that if they had been in contact since he was 7, not only is that incredibly creepy but certainly grooming and disgusting. If they did a scene in the same movie for a day and didn't meet up again for 10 years, than that's just a random irrelevant fact.

Career-ending move? Spacey had one of the best careers possible after trying to rape a 14 year old. Nobody batted an eye after James Franco tried to hook with a 17 year old on Instagram a couple years ago. The only reason, ironically, is that a move like this would be considered in the slightest career-ending is because of her (and the many other women and men involved in the MeToo movement). Allen, Polanski, there's hundreds of examples.
Of course rockstars are a different beast altogether. But let's not forget that the world recently mourned Bowie's passing. Including the 15 year olds he slept with.

We don't need to say allegedly, it happened in California. I realize that. And pretty much the only reason she had to pay $380,000 to the victim. If it happened in Alberta, it would have been perfectly legal. Outside of the alcohol to a minor.
EDIT: I don't want to sound like I'm defending this person too much. She could be a complete predator for all know. I'm just saying that a 17 year old hooking up with an adult is something that is perfectly legal in Alberta (with exceptions). Maybe it shouldn't be, but hard to really wrap my head around how 'bad' something is when I live in a place where it's legal.
