I realize that Christian makes himself an easy target, given our own homophobia and the fact that he is so recognizable; however, there's really no reason to jump on him here.

He hardly has a reputation for slagging his co-stars - quite the contrary, I've rarely read anything negative from him at all.

I've got nothing against Christian. I just think it's in poor taste to make up stories about septic secretions when the evidence is clearly against him.

Ummm, Mia admitted she had a staph infection and was out of work for over a month.

And yes... It did turn out I had a staph infection. I had no idea what it was.

As for JRV - I know you carry a brief for all the girls - but aren't you being a little unfair to Christian? Mia ADMITS to working while she has a serious infection (although not realizing how serious it was) and you criticize the OTHER person in the scene? Aren't girls who work while they have open festering sores a higher risk of starting an epidemic than a bisexual performer?

JRV also notes:

Looking at Mia's post, it's obvious she was careful to avoid using Christian's name, merely saying she was "weary of the 'talent'", and going out of her way to note that he was a solid performer. No hint of an attack on Christian.

Again, be fair. Here is what she said:

Quote:

---

fuck yes it was my worst scene EVER...... Fucking told everyone on set it would be half way through too.... my fucking god. I was weary of the talent, but can't judge from what others say.

Can anyone read this and not come to the conclusion that her bad performance was caused by a problem with the male talent? How is that not an attack?

Rather than admit she had health problems (which she did), she blamed the male talent.

As far as her not mentioning Christian - haven't you realized that the Seeya alt-id exists only to stalk Christian? Seeya's posting history. Besides, Moxie helpfully (and quickly) pointed out that Christian was the male talent referred to in the post.

The whole thread was started as a setup to bash Christian, it went off the rails when Christian stood up for himself.

JRV - you're blaming the victim and you should know better.
