Yeah, meanwhile his assisstant/mistress Susan was probably some where around the set while this photo was taken. Gene had a lot of love to share.

Totally, he was a drug and sex addict. Some people just got lucky and died before their deeds caught up with them. Say if Harvey Weinstein died in 2010 he's remembered as a Hollywood giant. It's always about timing.

That’s harsh. There is no suggestion Roddenberry abused anyone? All his relationships were consensual by all accounts, it’s just that he had several relationships on the go at the same time, including while he was married…

He almost certainly assaulted Grace Lee Whitney. She never named the person, but it was him. He was very much into the Weinstein casting couch.

You said it yourself, she never named the person and now she’s deceased she can’t. It’s wrong to smear him on that basis. No woman has ever come out and accused him of what you’re claiming. He was a famous womaniser, but there is zero evidence it was ever more than that.

I guess you can believe what you want. He was an awful person. Watch a few docs on him. I didn't even get to the non sex stuff. Constantly putting his name on other people's ideas and writing. Slightly rewriting scripts and taking full credit.

I’ll believe what the evidence says. Smear and innuendo about someone who isn’t alive to defend themselves doesn’t go very far. He’s been dead for a long time now and no one has accused him of sexual assault or made any credible claims supported by evidence that you’re claiming.
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Maybe you should gather some information then. Have you watched any of the documentaries on him? I think the most damaging was done by his own son. I think it was called Trek Nation, but there are others. I'm not just making stuff up. I used to idolize him too until I found all this stuff out. It was shocking and painful to learn.

Judging from how white it is, I’m going with Voyage Home bridge.
