George TakeiVerified account

The events he describes back in the 1980s simply did not occur, and I do not know why he has claimed them now. I have wracked my brain to ask if I remember Mr. Brunton, and I cannot say I do. /2

But I do take these claims very seriously, and I wanted to provide my response thoughtfully and not out of the moment. /3

Right now it is a he said / he said situation, over alleged events nearly 40 years ago. But those that know me understand that non-consensual acts are so antithetical to my values and my practices, the very idea that someone would accuse me of this is quite personally painful. /4

Brad, who is 100 percent beside me on this, as my life partner of more than 30 years and now my husband, stands fully by my side. I cannot tell you how vital it has been to have his unwavering support and love in these difficult times. /5

Thanks to many of you for all the kind words and trust. It means so much to us. Yours in gratitude, George /end

amazing that so many people in this thread assume that you are guilty and further assume that your denial makes you even guiltier. for something 40 years ago...

Just like Roy Moore, assume some more Georgie boy

Didn't Roy Moore have 4 people come forward with 30 different corroborations? How is this the same?

Uh huh ..... I'm assured.

We should believe that victim tho

Well that's the big problem here. There have been times where victims faked something like that. The best is to stay neutral for now and look how things progress.

I mean, it is Hollywood. People’ll do anything for attention, even make claims like this. It happens a lot but that doesn’t mean you should disregard a claim because the accused says it’s a lie.

No, it absolutely does not happen a lot. False accusations are extremely few and far between. Don't propagate that lie.

I studied law for a long time..... yes, they happen all the time. All...the....time.

Or let's put it another way. They don't in my country, the UK, and I don't see how it would be different in the US.

Oh it's wayyy different in the US lol my bad. Didn't realize. Ya, in the U.S. --- we love to sue people and take legal action for no fucking reason whatsoever except for Publicity advertising stunts, money, and hurting people's feelings.

It seems so convenient that you would be accused while you're away, and with #RoyMooreChildMolester trending yesterday

Something didn't seem right about the story, so I went and did a little research on it. The first two to report it were The Hollywood Reporter, FOX News and The Wrap. Coincidence? I think not

*three. I meant three Morning, everyone!
