"People get murdered because they're polite. Most people would rather not be impolite and keep themselves out of mortal danger than potentially hurt someone else's feelings." Nailed it.
Fawn Whisperer that is me😳😫
Or perhaps they think that being impolite will escalate the situation and make it worse?
Deferring and conforming to the expectations of whoever you consider to be in charge is not the same as being polite. People are rude all day. Just not to the hand that feeds them.
It would have made more sense if he had said "... and put themselves in mortal danger..." rather than "...and keep themselves out of mortal danger..."
He says it in Dragon Tatto when he has Daniel Craig hanging up
That "polite" part is 100% deep.
What he said exactly people choose to rather be implotie and keep themselves out of danger rather than hurting someone else feelings
Very deep. Especially for women. Society always expects women to be polite, even when they’re the victim. I loved that in the film Room with Brie Larson, her and the mother fighting about maybe if she wasn’t so nice she wouldn’t have helped the man with his dog that ended up kidnapping and raping her. Very deep.
This is so true
@@ilyesnoah782 I know what you meant but you wrote the opposite. You mean they would rather be polite and put themselves in danger.
Very deep. Notice how she never said who it was....
She's talking about Michael Bay. She was 18-19 in 93-94 and then turned down Pearl Harbor 8 years later. His "producing partner" is Jerry Bruckheimer.
Michael Bay, are you sure?
I'd believe it.
@@rockingbrowneyedgirl it us true remember how micheal bay sexualised Megan fox in transfomer she was a minor
@@rebinalaishram7867 really omg thats why
Jerry Fuckheimer
She famously turned down Pearl Harbour without giving a reason.. timescale seems about right
Nah she wasn’t 18 or 19 when that came out I think it’s director jan de bont who did speed at the time
still waiting for hollywood to officially out michael bay as a creep. there's too much evidence
So she's talking about Michael Bay
or Jerry Bruckheimer?
was she 18/19?
I’ve seen pics of michael bay wearing pajamas so I instantly thought of him when she told the story
Nice to hear Howard and Seth completely back her up. There are people in denial of these things and there are people who are like "yep, sounds right."
I am your 1K like 😈
Why wouldn't they? They're on film lol. Even the guy that she's talking about would back her up if he was there in this interview lol. Remember that people act different when they know they're being recorded.
You can just see the anger coming off of Seth Rogan. I like him for it.
I'm sure it happens to male actors as well. But people care less.
Watch Howard’s interview with Mariah and Marilyn Manson you’ll think differently about him
There's that great line in the remake of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" where Stellan Skarsgård invites Daniel Craig to come into the house after he's caught him creeping around. Later, once he's tied him up he asks why he didn't trust his instincts. "It's hard to believe the fear of offending may be stronger than the fear of pain, but you know what: it is."
love your channel man
it's why you should learn how to be disagreeable. One woman who almost got raped by Cosby started cursing him out the second she felt something was wrong. He started acting offended and said she shouldn't use such bad language but reality was it actually scared him enough to call her a cab, because he sensed if he went through with it she wasn't the type that would hide it.
Of course that is an extreme situation but in general being disagreeable will take you further in life.
czcams.com/video/gTakZ13l8xY/video.html
Not for me, it seems. I spent so much of my life in solitude that I have very little social refinement to draw upon.
problem is most of the time you're not completely 100% sure that you're in mortal danger, or in this case the producer is making that move. most of the time it's not that black and white. so if you react like u think u should have it could be an overreaction. people's judgements of situations can be flawed too so it's not like it's such an easy thing to always read.
0:59 is the moment that Seth works out who it was LOL
Uh no he tries to but he don’t know who it is
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince how could you possibly know what he knows?
Lol he was definitely trying to figure it out for a second there, as soon as she said "he still is" he was like "mmm what producers that were big in the early 2000s and still, have i met that gave major creep vives?"
I think she's talking about Michael Bay
Wow. It's heartbreaking that this happens to so many women and men. When she said "you go blank and you don't know what to do or say" I felt that.
This guy is probably sweating buckets watching this
I very much doubt it .....she hadn't outed him up till now and still hasn't ......he's not sweating at all.
he should be. no matter who you are, that stuff is more the disrespectfull. aaaannnd karma is a bitch. glad charlize is doing good, she's one of the best actrises these days.
Still a huge deal
Samantha Skelly
She fcuked him, and he never gave her the role 😂
I wish they could start naming these dirtbags so I know which movies to avoid!
Biggest look of shock on rogans face was when she said she was driving a Ford Fiesta.
Huh? Joe's not...oh right Seth. Same last name. Huh
Lmao that face killed me
When your starting out, you can't afford a big car, you have to hire cars
lmao...so true.. unbelievable
Tim Powers - that she rented! Don’t forget that part. 🤭
I really appreciate all of their reaction's to Charlize, especially Howard's. 100% supportive and never questioning Charlize or criticizing her or doubting her. It's (unfortunately) refreshing and it can mean a lot to victims to have this kind of support when sharing a story. I wish more people reacted this way.
questioning and doubting isn't the same as denying. Why should a person believe 100% a story a woman they don't even know well tell?
If women stop lying maybe we could believe them.
it is questionable not to question anything
But Howard wouldn’t have reacted the same a decade or so ago. Many of you have forgotten how he used to treat women
This is soo typical of us as women. We blame ourselves. We question ourselves. Her primary memory is of how SHE didn't handle it better. As a 19 year old. Alone.
She wanted the money!! Cmon people
That's not just women. That's victims in general. Especially victims of sexual violence.
@@Animagladius you are correct
The reason she isn't outing this guy is most likely because nothing illegal actually happened and being a creep isn't a crime. If she starts accusing him of trying to do something he could sue for defamation of character. Karma will take care of him.
Good Luck
Defamation is the hardest to prove
Karma is not real. Just something for good people to believe in.
Good points.
Or, she could say what happened and say how she felt and make it clear she's not saying he ever did worse to anyone but it was unpleasant to her. No defamation there, he can't sue because it's on him to prove it never happened, if others were real victims they're more likely to come forward and he'll live in fear and be extra careful henceforth. Her silence is enabling him.
This day and age men are targeted. I'm afraid to date ever again and I'm 16. Lol.
Charlize: *Ford Fiesta*
Seth: 😖
Ford Fiesta?
People only are aware of flight or fight, but there is a third biological response to danger, which is freeze. This is the most common reaction
when it comes to slow moving danger, like a sleezebag, you're right. Your brain goes into doubt and "let's watch and see" mode
freeze is a female reaction only
@@khav11no it isnt.
Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
It's amazing to see two men who actually can empathize with what she went through instead of blaming the victim! Refreshing and just gained so much more respect for these guys. What they say is true! It's absolutely this desire to be polite and shock of the situation that makes these situations so surreal
> touch her knee
>victim
Lee Milby IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN TO WOMEN. JUST AS MANY IF NOT MORE YOUNG MEN AND BOYS GET PREYED UPON BY LECHEROUS GAY MEN.
MY HEART ACTUALLY GOES OUT TO THEM MORE. I THINK IT IS MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO PROCESS AND RECONCILE THEMSELVES WITH IT.
respect for Howard Stern's little act? hahaha you are naive my friend
@@parapoliticos52 wonder how you'd react
First of all that modeling agent knew what she was doing. Secondly thank goodness Charlize dressed him down when she had power.
Patsy Hooker first of all how the fuck would you know? Are you clairvoyant ?
I would suspect she knew, it isn't like this type of thing doesn't happen to young models as well.
i know right, good for her on leaving and for standing up to him later on as well after she made it big
Pardon the pun
Tom Jones
Lol, it’s almost like she wants to date someone in her personal life but NOT have to fuck an old guy to get hired for a movie part...
its actually your brain deciding to either flee or fight. its nothing about your character or being.
Gavin de Becker, Seth Rogan, and I disagree.
It's not black or white. There is a lot of factors that play a role in how you react (no pun intended)your state of mind at that moment, your personality, your past, your circumstances, you ability to react fast under pressure or crisis, your level of self-preservation and so on... All this will make you run, fight or froze.
Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 such an insightful intelligent response, most people would leave judgement, what you’ve stated is completely true, your character has nothing to do with it that kicks in eventually and gets you the hell out of there to if your lucky 🤞🏻 that’s why after she gave herself a hard time mentally driving back because she become consciously aware of what happened x x
your decision is your character, and the brain is part of your being. Lol.
Or freeze
Howard hit the nail right on the head at at 3:08. I went to audition for a very well-known orchestra conductor when I was 13 or 14, and it was all on the up and up: during business hours, in his studio. He sat very close to next to me at the piano, even in a separate chair. And I remember as if it were yesterday, in the middle of the 1st movement of the 3rd Chopin Ballade I felt something rubbiing on the inside of my right leg, inches below my crotch. My whole body went numb and I couldn't think. I froze. I kept playing, and at the end of the piece II jumped up, excused myelf and left in a daze. It took me years to sort out what had happened. I wish now that I had punched him, but at the time I was paralysed and wanted to be polite...
Name the conductor
Thanks for sharing a personal experience of yours. Orchestra conductor you say? Where on this planet is anyone safe? Orchestra equals classical music? None of us quite expect that these kind of things take place in such circles. We all just have to have our guard up as best as possible at all times. Society is a jungle, society is the "wild west." Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 20th March 2024.
When something traumatic happens or just something you’re not used to seeing, like being confronted by sexual predator, especially at 19 you’re not going to be able articulate and react to it because it’s a brand new experience. Most people don’t recognize and understand true evil until something bad happens to them.
I don't think it's just about people being too polite to know what to do. Most of these types of stories happen to people in their youth, when it's not so much about being polite or not, as it is about simply not knowing what to do because you've never been in the situation before. If you were raised well by your parents you would probably be so shocked, you simply blank out like Charlize said. As you grow and gain experience about the world and the people in it, you come to realizations about what's going on and how to handle it so you can call the person out on it later like she did.
wooow, when she said he didnt remember, wooow, that actually shows just how disposable these young easily manipulated girls are to him, that is frighteningly disgusting
If he actually was using that many girls and throwing them to the side, remember we have 0 evidence and it's solely word of mouth. #supportdueprocess
Jerry Bruckheimer? Idk honestly just guessing a big time producer
Bra, he almost for sure actually does remember.
He did remember.. People like that have ego that won't let them rest till they get what they want.
Its still disgusting
He mightnot remember her even if she had slept with him back then.
I think when you are not used to that situation or the situation turns out to be awkward, the stress and uncertainty doesn't let you talk or behave as you would behave in a normal situation.
Howard has the reason for the reaction spot on. Thanks for airing this.
1:34 LOL the fact that this needs to be clarified is both hilarious and fucked
"No we've met before". Nice Charlize. 😏
That IS a great interview with three great people, loads of truth and honesty
Thanks .
You are leaving out the fourth person... Robin, that is🙂
Remember not so long ago when Howard asked women to volunteer for him to do breast exams on them live on the air?
Ahhhh the memories....
And now he's a champion for women. 😅
I haven't forgotten.
I was thinking the same thing and make them get naked and sit on his lap and touch them and grop them. He is one of the biggest perverts I have ever seen
Yeah I also recall him putting some of his female guests on the spot and basically asking them to masturbate on air by bringing in that vibrating chair thing for them to sit on. Adrianne Curry is one guest I can remember it happened too. She was a former reality star, so not super powerful or high-ranking in the celeb world.
Well said.
he is a piece of shit lke the other ones
"He's still a big deal."
I know nobody wants to shake the grounds they stand on but with the Weinstein thing blowing up its not like Hollywood would shun her for outing the creep.
+foist - You make a great point.
Perhaps she doesn’t want to rock the waters right now due to her new film coming out,
Or due to how the truth will cascade and affect & effect a handful of other people in the industry.
But I do think that she has a responsibility to say who it is (even if that person has changed).
It's still hard. Sometimes you don't wanna relive the horror by coming out with your truth, other times you're not ready for the repurcussions after you've outed a powerful guy. Even after Weinstein, men in power will start a witchhunt against you, there are smear campaigns, victim-blaming and victim-shaming and worse yet, nobody believes a lone accuser. Weinstein faced justice because in a chain reaction dozens and dozens of women came out against him, including prominent actresses. You can see how much fucked up it all really is. Even after Weinstein.
Hollywood might not shun her but she could significantly damage her kids' lives by getting dragged into an extremely expensive and emotionally draining legal battle for slander and defamation of character. There are more effective ways of changing the system that don't involve getting bled dry financially and becoming a tabloid magnet for other people's entertainment.
Hollywood wouldn't shun her? Are you 100% sure of that? Just for the sake of a hypothetical look how Hollywood treats Roman Polanski to this day, now tell me what would happen if Charlize Theron were to accuse someone like Steven Spielberg.
As creepy as that guy was, he didn't cross the line into doing anything illegal. If she outted him she is ripe for defamation of character lawsuit. Harvey Weinstein was only outted because he actually sexually assaulted women.
Yeah it's fight or flight syndrome. It's where traumas come from after the scenario. We learn to love ourselves in the end and try and accept the situation that was not possible to control.
I think people forget that there's a third response, besides fight or flight. It's what Charlize described, you freeze. It's where the mind shuts down and dissociates from the body and paralyses itself. It happens to many victims of rape, assault, violent attack, and unfortunately it's a biological reflex which causes more harm than it resolves.
Dont be the white knight here..
She did control it though. She left.
@@TheRealJohnHooper "White knight" AKA a decent human being with empathy
@@TheRealJohnHooper inceeeel
Nobody should ever make you feel uncomfortable in a job interview. Regardless of what job you are going for or the position of the person interviewing.
I love how empathetic Howard immediately is to her situation instead of judging or questioning her for how she handled it
Who dislikes this video? Are you sick? I’m so glad she got to have her moment. I totally empathize with her, and frankly so should every human being.
Keep the videos coming please. It only helps Sterns empire to grow🙏
It can't get bigger
Has the empire not shrunk significantly? Perhaps not in wealth, but surely in scope....
"Its embarrassing if ANY guy thinks hes sexy!" .. hahaha 💯💯👌
Only ugly guys think that lool
0:59 Rogan is thinking who it is.
0:58 Seth's face says it all.
Is it just me or just Howard's voice sound just like swagger souls lmfao
"He put his hand on me knee, and I just went ... 'oof'"
I love her. Nothing but respect she deserves
Those who disliked the video are the casting couch producers.
yeah! who down voted this?!!
Yup... Creepers.
stranger16 luis 🤣
Or ashamed of her for letting the producer continue abusing other women and not doing the right thing. Girl gotta protect her millions tho.
stranger16 luis or innocent men being harassed by makeup covered perverts. Disgusting behavior backed by white knight cucks.
Call him out
The true definition of Beauty!!! Is HER🔥🔥🔥
I love Charlize. She is so strong.
At this point it's safe to out the producer. She's one of the biggest stars, and with the Me Too movement, I don't see how she could be hurt by this.
no proof , so accusations are libelous, as its her word against his
Nope. Theron has class and standards.
yes but it didn´t even get to the point of sexual assault. he only touched her knee. That would never be enough for her to sue him.
The dude was a total creep and was planning on doing something illegal, but said illegal activity never actually happened. So she can't name him.
Greg The Fishburger She claims her kid is transgender. All “class” and “standards” have nothing to do with her after her selling her child into insanity like that.
Charlize Theron is the coolest. I always viewed her as a good buddy to hang out with, rather than sex icon or something. She resonates with young people very well and has a lot of interesting things to say.
3:22 That's was the villains's monologue in the European _Dragon Tattoo_ - how people die from politeness.
This experience was probably what made her do the apartment scene so well in Atomic Blonde.
My friend and I were hitchhiking in NB Canada as 16 year olds. We got picked up and I sat in the front seat. The guy seemed normal for about half an hour. He then put his hand on my knee. I knew what to do, I confidently said stop the car and let us out. My friend in the back didn't see, but trusted my tone right away. The guy stopped and let us out in the middle of nowhere. There is no gray area here.
check out on 60minutes australia channel, about the story of the 2 girl traveling in australia, your story remind me them! thank God they are ok
"No, that's exactly right" !
That was so cool for her to have that "No, we've met before" moment.
Unfortunately true about the polite part. I know I have been in shady situations that I wanna leave, but the voice in my head is nagging me saying the I’m just misinterpreting the situation. Always trust your gut tho people.
“I was so angry with myself that I didn’t say something, like why did I not tell him to go fuck himself”. I SO can relate as a similar situation happened not long ago.
Good on her!
She recognized a dangerous situation and managed to take control, and still managed to be successful despite saying no.
This is important for women to hear, because some might feel they will never be successful if they say no to an influencial person in Hollywood.
Women know what thier getting into don't play the victim card walk away from the money be smart.
Who in the Harvey could she be talking about???🤔
Corey Nelson she didn’t say harvey, did she?
firstname lastname probably not since she said he's still a big deal.
Harvey Dent! Can we trusttt him?
No she said he's still a big deal! Harvey's status has been shot! That means there's someone that people still like that's relevant in Hollywood that is still doing this.
lmao
The blank part was so accurate
Harvey... ahahahaha (coughing pretty violently).
Thanks for sharing this Charlize. I appreciate Seths and Howards reactions of disgust.
she is lying her ass off
Swear to God.. the "OMG is this really happening?" is so terrible true! I experienced something similar in an airplane like 15 years ago.. Guy sitting on my side was drinking a lot and after a while he started putting his hands on my legs.. The first time I was so in shock I thought I had imagined things! But he persisted and ended up touching my thights and private parts. After the third time I
got up and changed places on the plane. He kept looking at me. That was the scary part. If this had happened today I would make sure he was arrested but back then (naive) I ended up thinking that the whole situation was somehow my fault (and I was in a very old pair of jeans and a Polo T-shirt (nothing that could remotely look sexy). Sometimes I still thinks about it and I hate myself for not speaking up and asking
flight attendant help.
Where is the SiriusXM video app?
When you do stand up for yourself all of a sudden you become someone who took it the "wrong way"
Yup
When she said Ford Fiesta and Laurel Canyon Road Seth knew exactly who it was
did you figure it out?
I know exactly who it is too because he still lives there
THEBYGONE who
When will CT realize the agent was in on it?
Wow she is so brave really really cool of her to speak up about this!!
She didn't even mention the name! THAT would have been brave. Any girl can remember a jerk that tried to put their hands on her. I can. Almost every woman has experience like that. What is brave about mentioning it?
In elementary and high school I wouldn't defend myself against bullies because I was afraid of hurting people, till after a few years of martial arts school I discovered I could take someone out without doing them great harm, so once in a televised Latin class the star football jock decided to mock me on camera and I put him in a sleeper hold that he couldn’t escape. I didn’t put him under, but he was humiliated and he never bothered me again after that.
My years of being alone
Being harassed by our school wrestling star
Seth is on Howard lots it seems. Love that guy.
She’s a great actress we have been blessed
She is one of my Favorite Actress!
It is very freaky how she’s refraining from saying his name. She’s also so beautiful 😍
Thanks, Howard Stern when we all know you're such a beacon of fucking light when it comes to treating women like human beings...
And the sad part of this is his sidekick a woman Robin G played along
This woman is an angel omg it's a shame to think about young little girls going through this exact same harassment even today.
🙏🙏😂 I’m so proud that you are that type of woman have been a fan for years ... you are a fighter I love that and to be that brave at 19 teen very impressive 🙏😂💪❤️👍 so it sounds like YOU walked around Hollywood in full armor sounds like a warrior to me 👍💪❤️💡🙏🙏🙏
My guess is that this happened in early 1994. So perhaps for a film released in 1995/1996.
Jane Seymour had the same experience.
Joel silver, I bet.
goldie hawn tells a similar story when she was 19. they don't call it the "casting couch" for nothing. they always go after young girls trying to break in, young girls too scared to say anything because they don't have the power or notoriety to go after them.
The host is great ! Good voice , good show !
Why not call the Basterd out here too.
That is a hard one because only they were there. It would be a he said she said. Also nothing happened because Charlize kept her integrity. I can see why she would not say the name. Now behind the scenes she might tell other actresses,"don't go to his house.".
Slander. .High Cost. .Local business and Politicos too. .Get Smart. and Don't cuss a Lawyer ( they come back 10 folds ). .
May be If he file for defamation... may be she cannot prove it
she can't named the person because he might sue her for diffamation. she has no proof to show to the court
No proof he will sue for defamation
This exact thing happened to me - and to this day I have still be traumatised at what could of happened to me if I didn’t leave
I love that movie 50% with Seth and Joseph Gordon Levitt
OK, I am sorry but
"It's Nine o'clock on a Saturday,
Charlize Theron walks on in,
Here I am in my PJs ,
Muzak on, with my tonic & gin..."
Who is the producer????
Go Charlize. I love this women. She's stunning I think he would remember!
she was 18 in 93 plus 8 years makes it 1999 or 2000. Pearl Harbor came out in 2001 and was produced by BOTH Bay and Bruckheimer.
Strange that Howard Stern is so supportive as he seems the type of person to have done this type of thing himself.
Ironic that Howard Stern has Charlize Theron on his couch in the studio, on the freaking Howard Stern Show, and still has more class than these Hollywood producers.
You're life must be realllly boring or suck if you think that's truly ironic
What are you referring to? How he used to act with women all the time?
I really want to know who it is now.
What a great interview. My opinion of Mr. Stern went way up.
One of the most beautiful woman in all the acting community. Italian Job was my favorite.
Of course he remembered her. And who is he?
I love her for standing up for herself at the end.
Charlize Theron was 3 months shy of her 44th birthday in this April 29, 2019 video She was born on August 7, 1975
" Victim of the casting couch" lol
I came to the comment section to see if anyone knows who she was talking about..
Maybe if the guy that was with him when she had her confrontation, is randomly watching Howard videos on CZcams he could tell us!!! I think it was actually Howard stern and this was the confrontation! BOOM! .... a fuller full circle!
Ryan Anthony same I have faith in the CZcams community
She’s made up someone to win sympathy points
Spielberg
At 19, Theron flew to Los Angeles, on a one-way ticket her mother bought for her, intending to work in the film industry.During the initial months there, she went to a Hollywood Boulevard bank to cash a check her mother had sent to help with the rent. When the teller refused to cash it, Theron engaged in a shouting match with him. Upon seeing this, talent agent John Crosby, waiting behind her, handed her his business card and subsequently introduced her to casting agents and also an acting school. She later fired him as her manager after he kept sending her scripts for films similar to Showgirls and Species
That head movement by Seth, it tells you something very disturbing that he knows some deep shit.
Painfully true. BTW, does anyone know the book that Seth mentioned in the interview?
Wow she didnt even say the name, must be powerful person.
She said the name once during an interview. When the article was published the name was not there. In a recent interview, she said that she will reveal the name again.
Seth Rogan is like: "Wow this discussion just got really heavy and depressing."
I'm going to say Weinstein, 8 years after she started Movies. She stared in a Movie Waking Up in Reno where him and his brother were Executive Producers.
Michael Bay wasn’t a big deal at this time maybe it’s Jerry Bruchheimer
poor Charlize! shes such a strong and great woman! bless her for avoiding that creep! she is also so nice that she didnt say his name!
