I know this is all late news, but I never paid attention to this shyt until now.
I know it was funny to make fun of how :flabbynsick: he got, but i never knew the reality of his situation.

He was sexually assaulted by the President of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 2003.

They tried to pass it off as a joke, and wanted him to sign a joint statement agreeing it was a joke, and but didn't tell him that he was signing a statement that agreed with their findings.
In 2018, actor Brendan Fraser accused Berk of having groped his buttocks and perineum after a luncheon in 2003.[7][8][9] The Hollywood Foreign Press Association commissioned an internal investigation, which concluded that while "Berk inappropriately touched Mr. Fraser, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.”[10] Officials asked Fraser to sign a joint statement about the matter but would not share the complete findings with him.[

So they ruined his career and The Whale movie in 2023 was basically Hollywood saying "my bad" to him.

He didn't go to the Golden Globes for never receiving an official apology.

Berk saw Dudley Do Right and then started playing Nas's Owe Me when Brendan would pop up

It was in 2003, he would have been 35 at the time.

You can't tell me there isn't a correlation between his career tanking in the mid 2000's and that incident.

you can't tell me at 35 you're letting a man play with your booty and signing up for more like a vic :dahell:





you acting like this is a Corey Feldman episode you bugging :why:

Clearly that dude touched him inappropriately, he wasn't okay with it at the time and his career suffered because of it.

I don't even understand what you're arguing at this point.
