Harvey Fierstein getting tons of abuse from people who have the wrong Harvey

quote [ Theatre legend Harvey Fierstein has been forced to clarify that he has definitely not sexually assaulted any women - amid a tidal wave of mistaken abuse.

But despite being very gay, the theatre legend has received a tidal wave of abuse this month – from people wrongly accusing him of sexually assaulting women.

The gravelly-voiced actor was forced to make a public statement due to the tidal wave of people who had apparently confused him with Harvey Weinstein, the Miramax film exec who has been plagued with sexual assault allegations this month. ]

Fierstein...Weinstein...anyone could make that mistake, right?

Ahh - the internets in all of their combined mob goodness set loose on some poor unsuspecting soul. Harvey F is one of my favorte actors, BTW.

I've seen women grope breasts and slap asses. Female ones.

I've seen women grope breasts and slap asses. Female ones. I suppose you are going to put that down as sexual assault too, but I don't and neither did the people involved.

Point taken, though what you describe is comparatively minor.

And I did find an example:

"There was the creative director who regularly shoved his hand up his secretary’s crotch and down her bra. She was so outraged, she took him to a legal tribunal (which she lost). Most of the rest of us thought she was overreacting. After all, he was gay, so it wasn’t really sexual harassment, was it? For the record, he treated men as badly as he treated women."
