In an explosive statement released Monday morning, the U.S. Center for SafeSport has shed new light on what it is calling a “a culture in figure skating that allowed grooming and abuse to go unchecked for too long.”
The statement stems from SafeSport’s investigation into allegations levied against former U.S. pairs champion John Coughlin. In January, Coughlin was suspended by SafeSport for unreported reasons; a day later, he died by suicide.
In early January, before his suspension was announced, Coughlin denied any wrongdoing in an email to USA Today’s Christine Brennan, calling them “unfounded.” Following his death, Brennan reported that three claims of sexual misconduct, including two by minors, had been filed against the skater.

Salma Hayek: Weinstein only responds to claims from women of color, as they’re ‘easiest to get discredited’

Salma Hayek has spoken out against Harvey Weinstein’s denials of sexual abuse against herself and actress Lupita Nyong’o, saying he hadn’t responded to any other actresses’ claims in the same way because they were both women of color.
Hayek spoke on the #MeToo movement and the fallout from accusations against disgraced producer Weinstein on Sunday as part of the Kering ‘Women in Motion’ talks at Cannes Film Festival, in a live-streamed interview at the Majestic Hotel.
Hayek publicly accused Weinstein of sexual harassment and abuse in December 2017, in a harrowing op-ed published in The New York Times. The Oscar-winning actress called Weinstein “her monster,” after his treatment of her on the set of 2002’s Frida — an accusation Weinstein denied. Read more…
