For the last week, I've been trying to figure out what the hell's wrong with my girlfriend Sissy, culminating in this blowup last night during dinner:
Sissy: Why haven't you asked me what's wrong?
Me: What?
Sissy: I've been so upset this week. Why can't you see I'm not myself?
Me: Maybe it's because you still look like yourself, only fatter.
Sissy: You're an asshole.
Me: Maybe, but at least I'm still myself.
Sissy: I hate you.
Me: *Sigh* What's wrong?
Sissy: Harvey Weinstein.
Me: No argument there.
Sissy: No, Harvey sexually assaulted me, Scooter.
Me: Was it within the last six years?
Sissy: (sobbing) Yes.
Me: Wow, that's too bad. I'll be back later.
Sissy: Where are you going?
Me: Cadillac dealership.
Sissy: What about me?
Later, I gathered the sordid details of the incident for our legal team. According to Sissy, during my acting career (here here here) a few years ago we were at a lavish Hollywood party where Weinstein allegedly forced himself upon her.
Apparently, in a dark hallway at the rear of the restaurant where the party was being held, Weinstein pressed against Sissy, rubbing her breastesses and grinding his sweaty crotch into hers. She said she tried to resist, repeatedly saying "no means no," but he just kept rubbing her, saying 'sorry.'
After the act, Sissy said she was left in the hallway feeling dirty and used. After smoking a cigarette, she rejoined our group but kept the secret fearing Weinstein could use his power to destroy my acting career. She had been suffering in silence until allegations of his sexual improprieties hit the headlines this week.
I was absolutely stunned. Who would have figured that not one dealership in Scottsdale would have in stock a white CTS-V with black wheels and carbon fiber trim? I felt like both Sissy and I were hitting an emotional bottom. Then, things went from bad to worse.
After reviewing a security camera video from the restaurant in question, my legal team concluded that the hallway leading to the restrooms was barely wide enough for one person. When Sissy and Weinstein tried to pass each other, they apparently got wedged between the walls for a moment. The video shows Weinstein apologizing as a clearly intoxicated Sissy appears to grab his buttocks and rub herself against him until he was able to free himself and flee.
Sexual abuse is an ugly thing, and when it hits this close to home it affects everyone. The sexual trauma Sissy endured has rendered her unable to have relations with me. As for me, I can't look at my girlfriend without seeing her getting all up in Harvey Weinstein's business and every time I see a new CTS-V drive by, I uncontrollably weep. These scars run deep - I pray time will heal us both.
