| Topic | Artist Chuck Close accused of sexual assault |
| Vol2tex 01/31/18 11:10:17 AM #1 | https://hyperallergic.com/420538/four-more-women-allege-sexual-misconduct-by-chuck-close/ In late December 2017, allegations of sexual harassment surfaced against Chuck Close, one of the worlds most acclaimed contemporary artists. Four women, speaking with the Huffington Post and the New York Times, claimed that Close invited them to his studio and unexpectedly asked them to model nude for him, using explicit language in the process. The women said the encounters left them feeling uncomfortable, manipulated, and exploited. In the wake of those news reports, four more women have now come forward to describe their encounters with Close. Their stories bear striking similarities to the accounts published thus far, but also include new details: One woman says Close touched her and asked her to play with herself; two women connected with Close through internships at art organizations with which he has long-standing professional relationships. The earliest account here dates to 2001, the earliest one reported yet. After the initial revelations, Close acknowledged that he invited women to audition for his photographs. In a statement to Hyperallergic, he commented: I have been photographing and painting both portraits and nudes since 1967, and posing for me is completely voluntary. During the past 50 years I have created hundreds of nude photographs of men and women, and have met with many more who had decided not to pose for me. I have never received any complaints prior to reading about them in recent news reports. Having learned that I made these women upset and feel uncomfortable, I do apologize, without qualification. My extensive work in nude portraiture is part of a long tradition in the history of art, Close added. I have talked with the people who have posed about all kinds of things, including their bodies both women and men, young and old, healthy and infirm. Thats all part of the process. As I have stated before, I vigorously support the fight against sexual misconduct and harassment, and the greater impact it will have on changing the culture. Close has said that the auditions were conducted for artistic reasons, in the words of the New York Times. But the accounts given to Hyperallergic suggest a pattern of him taking advantage of women in their 20s and 30s who expressed admiration for his work. None of the women felt physically threatened by Close the artist suffered an arterial collapse in 1988 and is largely paralyzed from the neck down. All, however, described being overcome by his prestige, which they said made them feel pressured to expose themselves for reasons they struggled to justify. Together, the stories illustrate how an artists status can hold so much weight that others feel trapped by it. None of these women are aware of each others experiences, and nearly all were stunned to realize how strongly the accounts published in the news resonated with their own stories. --- |

"His family was going to come in the following week and be part of the funeral for Vince McMahon and I was always pushing that I would love to get another side of the McMahon family involved with WWE. I think it would've been fascinating because people forget that Vince has a brother and I think that that story would've been amazing." The entire storyline was scrapped due to the actual death of Chris Benoit. Vince McMahon had to appear on the tribute episode of Raw, thus breaking kayfabe. --- |

| Vol2tex 01/28/18 10:38:43 PM #1 | I noticed several girls on my list would do a story where they are talking and clearly topless, but they have a blanket covering a lot of their chest. Or they do pictures in the same manner. One girl with huge breasts was completely topless but had her cat in front of her breasts, though you can still make out the nipple. Do they just normally chill at home topless? --- |

| Vol2tex 01/28/18 8:04:58 PM #8 | SpiralDrift posted... This started with Quantum when they made it a true multi-core browser. Basically every tab is run as a separate instance so the whole browser doesn't slow down just because of one page. Each individual page renders faster this way too, IIRC. So far my Firefox has been freezing even more than before. --- |
