Apparently I/We should have heard of him before… i hadn’t anyhow. he is a prominent canadian broadcaster with a show or something. Accused of this: [http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/10/29/jian\_ghomeshi\_8\_women\_accuse\_former\_cbc\_host\_of\_violence\_sexual\_abuse\_or\_harassment.html](http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/10/29/jian_ghomeshi_8_women_accuse_former_cbc_host_of_violence_sexual_abuse_or_harassment.html) was fired from the CBC last week and has a $55M lawsuit pending. he came out ahead of things with his FB statement on his page here… scroll a bit: [https://www.facebook.com/jianghomeshi](https://www.facebook.com/jianghomeshi) any of you guys following this? ---

Kinda sorta, but lost interest after he released his statement. I think these chicks are out for money. You have really never heard of Jian Ghomeshi? I like a lot of his interviews that he does, not to mention the live shows like Holy Fuck [https://youtu.be/fl36eMxcaVA](https://youtu.be/fl36eMxcaVA) ---

Toronto police now investigating allegations, which i read to be as much an investigation into those filing the complaints as it is into Jian. in any event, i’ve now been in some heated exchanges over this. in the end, if his actions were criminal he should be charged but based on what i’ve read there either was no crime or certainly nothing that would warrant actual charges. If the claims cannot be substantiated then Jian stands to have quite the case against the CBC and maybe even against each of the women who are coming out. ---

Yeah…I think I watched like 2 episodes of TPB and didn’t care for it. But you’re telling me Jian couldn’t get better tail than that? No wonder he may/may not have punched her in the face. ---

So this is coming to a peak of late: here is some good reading on it: [http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/due-process-neil-macdonald-1.3446739](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/due-process-neil-macdonald-1.3446739) seems there were like 5,000 texts between two of the victims and some suggestion that they collaborated but that may be a minor point. Most of the media is focusing on the victims… it’s really an interesting cultural issue. I dont work in an office any more so dont get to engage in chatter on news bits like this. ---
