Great American Baking Show

The “Great American Baking Show” got pulled from the schedules this week due to harassment claims made against one of the judges.  I never trusted Mary Berry.  I jest, because just like the British one Mary Berry is no longer a judge on the show.  So it must be Paul Hollywood then?  I always thought he was a bit of a creep.  But no, it isn’t him either.  It’s the American judge who I’ve never heard of who has had the harassment claims made against him.  And so – in this climate of high profile males being accused of all manner of unsavory and unpleasant behavior – the network has just yanked the show from the air.  Disappointing, yes.  Unsurprising, no.  With the sheer number of allegations being made against high profile people, including the President, then the slightest whiff of scandal is enough to scare any network into extreme action like this.  I do believe in “innocent until proven guilty” – but the sheer scale of sexual misconduct on some of those accused is shocking and inexcusable.  And that includes the “pussy grabber” President of the United States.  How he has continued to get away with this, when a lot of the other high profile “celebrities” who have said or done a lot less worse have not, is beyond me.
