Today's Blind Items - He Got Away With Rape

This actor has always been known as a womanizer. He is still B list, but that is fading quickly because he just cannot get the kind of role that made him famous. Although our actor made his initial fame in movies, it was a hit cable show that really boosted his level of fame. Back in the day, our actor was still a womanizer, but did not have much luck when it came to actually getting women to go to bed with him. There was one time where our actor raped a woman at a party. The girl complained to her parents who complained to the school our actor attended. At that point, it was discussed involving the police, but our actor's very rich family got involved and negotiated a deal with the girl's parents. They gave them a large sum of money and agreed to pay for her schooling. Just like that our actor was free to move on and pretend nothing had happened. The girl was not given a say in the proceedings and her parents told her that she should just move on and forget it. Apparently though the experience has scarred her beyond belief and has had years of therapy and also had a big substance abuse problem all the while watching her rapist become more and more famous.

    1. The rapist got famous off of a cable show. George was on a network noncsble show ("ER") so not him.

  7. I had no idea that Piven came from an acting family who owns their own acting school so it could be him.

  16. JRM doesnt come from a rich family, Bal Getty has the rich name but his dad, (the getty that got his ear cut off when they kidnapped him) pissed all his inheritance away and was a junkie most of the time, so doubt he would have had time to give a damn about paying off someone

    ReplyDelete
  17. The school would've been the acting school Piv's parents own and when she complained obviously they would have been made aware of it and prevented the cops from being called. This definitely points to the Piv.

    Sadly my first thought was Colin Hanks although I have no idea why. I know there was some previous blind about a rape and everyone seemed to think it was the other Hanks kid.

    Attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles at the same time as Linda Cardellini, Sarah Norton and Busy Philipps.

  24. Piven. This blind was posted on this site a few years back. Word for word.

    Getty didn't make his fame on a cable show, right? His was network. Piven was small time before Entourage and is nothing without John Cusack.

    I think it's Piven too. The story though may sound familiar if anyone has read Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. This was a plot line in the book although the rapist didn't go on to be famous but the money hush was the same. Probably happens more than we think in rich prep schools.

    Great book by the way if you havent read it.

  31. I'm not saying it's not Jeremy Piven, but I have a few acquaintances that are Chicago-based aspiring actresses who have slept with him. Very willingly. As gross as it sounds, he has women lining up to sleep with him, many who attend his mother's acting school. Again, not saying it's not him, just seems weird that he would force the once person who didn't want him when there are so many that do

    1. @VIP, and I have some who know how poorly he takes rejection. This has his name written all over it. Don't forget, rape is about power, not sex.

      Delete
  32. The other problem to me is the blind says 'Although our actor made his initial fame in movies" who heard of Piven until after Entourage and didn't he get movie roles because of his Entourage fame, not the other way around?

    1. Umm no he started in movies in the 80s

  33. The only thing I would say to VIPblonde is that the kind of man that is a womanizer often gets tired of the women throwing themselves at them, they want a challenge and will chase after the women who seem not interested very aggressively and they don't like taking no for an answer.

    Think Mike Tyson.

    Though in this blind the assumption is this took place before this actor was successful and sought after.

  34. It sounds like the rape happened pre-fame, so willing women would be tough to come by.

    Piven had a decent film career prior to Entourage. He was the lead in CPU and appeared in many films. Entourage put him at his fame peak.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I remember Piven from Ellen years before Entourage. His movies sucked and were basic cable fare. I'm going to say none of us have nailed it so far. Sounds northeastern, mayybe late 30's to late 40's. Whoever the victim is has suffered for a while, so the rapist is someone who made their bones in the last 15 years. I started thinking about James Gandolfini for some reason...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Sean Bean was a welder before his acting career, and then worked in Brit TV and films for years before doing any US shows. He's a POS about women, but there's no rich family to pay anyone off.

    ReplyDelete
  37. sorry, I don't think Piven or Charlie Sheen has that in them. They get what they wants 100% of the time. They both just lay back and it comes to them. I was thinking more along the lines of a Kennedy type of Family, which would be a Getty or here it comes....Armie Hammer, although he doesn't seem like he has rape in him either.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Rape is a crime of power and not sex. It doesn't matter if women are throwing themselves willingly at you.

    Piven came from an acting family but I don't see them as very wealthy from having an acting school. Perhaps I am wrong. Won't be the first time..TODAY!

    VIP Blonde may have more insight there. Are they considered wealthy?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Sherry, yes, they were considered wealthy at the time they ran the school. Working actors on stage and films as well as the school.

  39. Piven may get whatever/whenever NOW but this sounds like when he was much younger, pre-fame.

    He was in Old School with Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson as well as PCU and several others before Entourage.

    I think this is him.

    As far as this or similar other blinds not getting revealed....publicly saying some one raped or molested someone without solid proof (like a police report or photos) is opening oneself up to legal action (libel) by the person you're accusing - even if they're guilty of it.

  40. I was thinking Tony Soprano, although I hope I'm wrong. Does he come from money? I'd heard somewhere that before acting he was *actually* tied to the mafia so maybe he does.

  41. @ mynerva - who are you eliminating?
    You must be commenting on a mobile device and for those of us on a desk/laptop it doesn't show who you're addressing.

  45. Why do people keep saying Sean Bean? First of all, he's gorgeous, so I can't see him having a hard time getting women. Second, I've never heard a story about him raping anyone before, so I don't know why people would name him.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Just read Gandolfini's wikipedia, his family does not sound wealthy.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Jon, I'm a huge fan of GoT, so I had to google why he was a guess. I guess with his ex wife, there were numerous domestic disturbance calls. I think after they split, he continued to harass her. His family owns some fabric company, so he grew up wealthy. It sucks that he is a huge douchebag. I loved him as Ned!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Stuff like this is why I can't take blind items as legit because this will never be revealed. If you are going to put it out there put a name to it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It's not Piven. He went to Public High School, so paying for the girl's education would mean nothing.

    It's Bradley Cooper, who's dad is a Merril Lynch banking exec and who went to Georgetown, which is an expensive school.

    Plus, Piven's a douchebag who sleeps around, but he's never had a rep for being violent. Brad Cooper has had abuse issues in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Jon - Like Sherry said above, rape isn't about whether you can get sex, it's about power. A lot of men who rape are in relationships where they have consensual sex regularly.

    ReplyDelete
  51. How many actors do you hear about that have open raped someone? One or two if any, so of course you haven't heard any stories of Sean Bean raping someone.

    Have any rape blinds been revealed? IIRC I don't think any have. I wonder though, if they were, how that would impact the actors carrer, or if it would have any impact at all.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Not Piven. He didn't grow up with money. That school was very small and struggled. Balt. Getty's side was cut-off, and his parents could care less. I was thinking Duchoveny, if you leave out tv before movies then cable...

    ReplyDelete
  53. It's been mentioned, but I feel a strong need to reiterate that rape is not a crime about sex, but about power. Doesn't matter how many women might want to have consensual sex with them. They seek to dominate and subjugate. Forcible intercourse is just one of the most vile, yet more culturally permissible ways of doing that.
    I just want to make sure we're remembering that the most popular guy in the room isn't any less likely to be a predator.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Zeeky...I know that rape is not about sex. I did not say that it was. Please re-read the blind...it clearly insinuates that the man raped her because he has trouble getting women. My response was based on that. Sean Bean should have no problem getting a woman and thus have no need to rape her. That concept is from the blind, not from me!

    ReplyDelete
  55. @MrWolf, Cooper's star is not fading. To the contrary, it's rising.

  56. So a cable show would be considered something on a station like HBO, right? Wasn't Getty on Brothers and Sisters? That was on ABC.

  57. cooper ...his father was a stockbroker so they may have had $$

  58. Wasn't Cooper on a show on Fox and ABC? Are those considered cable channels or network? I'm sorta lost.

  59. This blind screams Bradley Cooper and the incident that occured his freshman year at Villanova (the college Brad's late father graduated from). Enty mentioned Villanova in his open letter to Zoe and if I'm not mistaken, someone responded that it sounded like Coop raped someone but it was hushed up. My heart goes out to the girl who was raped and wasn't allowed to talk about what happened to her. BTW, I think the cable show ENTY is referring to is Nip/Tuck, which Brad had a recurring role on.

    @ Mystikchic i thought so too initially especially after that post to Zoe. I tried to find out what happened at Villanova but couldn't. But this one can't be Brad. If he was well known for a tv show it would of been Alias (network), and he's not a B actor, he's an A. Hate to say it but he is.

    I'm pretty sure Brad's capable of this or worse but this one's not him. IMO.

  64. I'm on board with the Piven guess. He's done a bunch of movies prior to Entourage, but Entourage is what gave him fame.

    Also, I never found him attractive. He worked a lot but was never a big name in his early career, so I can see why he couldn't get girls at first.

  65. Matthew Perry. Stories of him raping a girl while in college have been around for years. His father is actor John Bennett Perry, stepfather is Keith Morrison and his mother worked for Prime Minister Trudeau when they lived in Ottawa, Canada. They had money for a huge payoff. Perry attended exclusive private schools as a child in Ottawa's rich section. I'm from Ottawa so I know that part of town well.
