Jessie Jackson - I walked toward Jackson, smiling, and he smiled back at me. His eyes scanned my entire body. All of a sudden, I felt naked in my sweater and jeans. As I walked within arm’s reach of him, Jackson reached out a hand and grabbed my thigh, saying, “I like all of that right there!” and gave my thigh a tight squeeze.I reached out to a former co-worker who was in the conference room, who also had lined up to get her own photos with Jackson, and she said: “I remember him being inappropriate with all the women. And I also remember you telling me that he did something more with you. And then we brushed the shyt off and chalked it up to him just being a dirty old man.”

John Singelton - When I walked into the room, I heard Singleton say something, and I heard enough of it to know it was about me. But I ignored it. Thank God for my callus. I only had about four minutes to interview him, so I was in go mode.”
He allegedly grabbed her wrist, pulled her toward him, and said, “Bring that juiciness over here.”
“He was sitting in a director’s chair, so when he pulled me, I fell forward and stopped myself by placing my hands on his legs. He then leaned forward and kissed me on my cheek,” Young writes. “I said, ‘Oh, oh, OK,’ and stood up, embarrassed because everyone was definitely still in the room.
Singleton later asked Young to take a picture, to which she agreed “in order not to make it awkward.” Young says the director put his hand around her waist and pulled her into him, saying, “Oooh, I’m gonna grab on tight to you.” When Singleton and the crew left the room, Young asked a woman working at the festival if she saw what occurred. “Yeah, girl. I heard he likes big girls,” the festival work allegedly said to Young.
