Show Notes

What if George Takei is innocent? Now, I'm not saying that he didn't do what Scott Brunton said he did. What I'm saying is that there's more to this story than what Scott gave to the reporters, that broke the story. There have been a lot of sexual assault allegations that have come up since the Harvey Weinstein news from early October and it's not going to stop. Which is a good thing, the problem that's starting to pop up, is people faking news about sexual assault just to get a story. Such as the person hired by James O'Keefe to discredit the Washington Post. Looking deeper into the allegations behind George Takei, we see that Mr. Brunton told his tale that went like this: From The Hollywood Reporter Brunton says he was living in Hollywood in 1981, working as a waiter and beginning a career as a commercial actor and model when he met a 43- or 44-year-old Takei one evening at Greg's Blue Dot bar. The men exchanged numbers and would call one another from time to time as well as run into each other at clubs, Brunton says. When Brunton broke up with his then-boyfriend, he spoke with Takei. "He said, 'Let me know what your new number is' and I did. And not long after we broke up and I moved out, George called me," Brunton recalls. Takei, as Brunton tells it, invited him to dinner and the theater. "He was very good at consoling me and understanding that I was upset and still in love with my boyfriend," Brunton says. "He was a great ear. He was very good about me spilling my heart on my sleeve." We haven't heard much from George Takei. His Facebook​ page is gone, he's silent from the media and no one is say much about accusation. Why? This can't be swept under the rug. Takei's silence speaks volumes on what happened.
