Could HC have his own Hollywood harassment story?

These days, you can’t get past the entertainment section without any news about another actress telling their own harassment experience from Weinstein or other ‘predators’ in Hollywood. Even some actors are coming out with their own bad experiences (James van der Beek, Anthony Rapp, etc.).
So far, HC’s been very quiet about this hot topic in Hollywood. I can understand if he’d rather not share his opinion about it, but I do wonder if he too experienced some of the horrible experiences some actors and actresses described in their early days in Hollywood.
HC was quite young when he got cast in The Count of Monte Cristo and made his way to Hollywood auditioning to get parts, so he could have met some ‘predators’ in Hollywood.
Any thoughts?

He was asked about his comment on the red carpet.

Personally, I think there is a lot of cherry picking in Hollywood. Some are untouchable and some are not. I don't like Gunn's humor and to see the theme party, it appears pedophilia is an obsession for him.
There is some type of pay off for him.
If it were merely tasteless jokes, it would not have extended out to parties. Plus, as a grown man, he should know people will raise eyebrows over all of this.
Either he is obsessed over pedophilia, was never abused in this fashion and has no heart, was abused and subconsciously dealing with it in this odd way, or he is a perv.

I’ve said before, I found his tweets not funny at all and they are offensive. But at the same time, I had no idea he wrote them until recently. I like the work he’s done for Guardians of the Galaxy, and I still love his movies. The situation for me is similar to years ago when one of the revered fantasy novelists I admire, whose work I love turned out to be abusive towards her own children, and even supported a pedophile husband who was convicted and sent to jail. I recall going to one board where someone listed some really great works of art (be it a novel, painting, sculpture, architecture marvel or music) and it turned out the artist behind them had done some really bad stuff (worse than Gunn even). It was a good discussion point to ask, would you stop loving their work because of their background?
As for Gunn, I do wonder if he at one point in his life been a victim or an abuser? Or both? Many victims end up being abusers themselves because of the trauma they went through. I wonder, from the Tweets, to these pictures, would abused victims come forth next or do we get a revelation of something that has happened to him?
I am curious — who would host a Pedophilia party, and why choose that as a theme? But then again, many years ago, Prince Harry and Prince William got into hot water for going to a party where they dressed as Nazi officers in some party so I guess some people just ain’t thinking sometimes...

One of my favs is a big ass perv, and I still like his music. I just don't patronize.
If no one comes forward, it might be safe to ASSume that he was a victim or just merely a perv w/a fantansy-only.
They get a pass for being young and for not repeating it. Gunn, who is way older, seems obsessed for some reason.

Another scandal!
This one has WB sprinkled throughout it.
A good read!

Yep, it’s big news... I don’t think it’s ‘sexual harassment’. It seems like this actress was willing to sleep her way around to get roles. Nothing new in the long history of Hollywood... It just makes you wonder who else did the same thing she did to get roles in WB.

No, it's not sexual harassment, but this was the closest thread to post it. It was funny when Ratner told her she should have slept w/producers and directors if she wanted parts. Hmm... I guess she was going old school by sleeping w/the studio head.
