When I say I expect the entertainment industry is likely among the worst, I don't mean that there isn't huge problems elsewhere too. It's just that some places are likely to be the worst.

I recall seeing pictures of a 70+ year old Jerry Jones groping young women. It's not just a Hollywood thing as it happens everywhere people have a lot of money and power. Now the Hollywood thing has been going on for a very long time and the media has chosen to look the other way (likely because anyone trying to make a big story about it would have their career buried) as the whispers have been around forever and victims have feared being blackballed. The Mel Gibson tapes should be a good indicator of how these people in power behave. It's great to see people final coming out as we are definitely heading in the right direction. I wouldn't call it an epidemic and more of an accepted culture over the decades and we are seeing the positive signs of that culture no longer being accepted.
