Jennifer Pena

I am kind of surprised about on whats going on in Hollywood because these are stars we see
everyday on television and it is just really shocking to hear these stories and whats really going
on. It does come as a surprise, I just question why didnt people come forward sooner and why
are they coming out now. I feel so bad about Terry Crew, because Ive seen a lot of his movies
and I would never thought that something like that could have ever happened to him and it goes
to show that this can also happen to males.

Tashawn Cald

I feel like this has always been going on it is just I don't know why that it is coming out now,
but i'm glad that it is because that kind of thing needs to stop like its not alright to be happening
and I am glad people are coming out
