I just posted this on Facebook:

I don’t post much about the current headlines here on Facebook, but as someone who’s always tried to treat women with courtesy and respect, I’m truly appalled by all of the allegations about so many men in positions of power and trust who took advantage of that power and trust in a really reprehensible and vile way and abused so many young girls and young women. It’s revolting to know how widespread all this abuse has been and how a culture of abuse has permeated not only Hollywood, but even in the world of Gymnastics, as we’re now hearing that the National Team Doctor for the USA Gymnastics Team that competed in the Olympics was sexually abusing members of that team. Aly Raisman just came out with a harrowing story of abuse and it sickens me that young girls barely into their teens like her and Mckayla Maroney were sexually abused by a predator in a position of trust over them. I hope that all of these allegations that are coming out will produce lasting change so no more young girls and young women don’t have to be subjected to this type of abuse.

Did you hear any other rumours? I think that's got more to do with her wanting Gus to grow as normally as possible since she was an regular on White Collar after OTH?

I don't believe they were allowed to return home with their team.

Wow! Well...I guess he was using his power to lure these women. It certainly isn't his looks.

Yes, I saw it. Good for them, but it's horrible that they were all subjected to that kind of abuse.

Yep, especially since they were threatened with the show being cancelled in order to keep quiet.
