The allegations against George Takei could appear in a new light after this appearance on The Howard Stern Show from back in October has resurfaced. While it isn’t an old clip, addressing the ongoing sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein, it takes on a very different tone now that Takei is being accused of sexual assault himself.
Takei denies the claims being made against him by male model Scott R. Brunton, saying the incident Brunton describes from 1981 “simply did not occur” and “non-consensual acts are so antithetical to my values and my practices.” This stands at odds with what Takei says in the interview, discussing the allegations against Weinstein and the comments made by Preisdent Trump in the Access Hollywood tape before admitting to Stern that he had grabbed men by the genitals without permission to “persuade” them according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Takei, a staunch opponent of the Republican president, initially was silent, then said “uh oh” and laughed. Stern asked again and Takei said, “Some people are kind of skittish, or maybe, um, uh, afraid, and you’re trying to persuade.”
Stern and his co-host, Robin Quivers, persisted, asking Takei whether he ever held a job over somebody for sex and he said no.
Quivers asked if he did “this grabbing at work.” Takei said, “It was either in my home. They came to my home.”

“Oh, my” has just became “Oh, shit!”
Surprised it still taken y’all this long to find this since it’s been common knowledge for a while. This dude is hypocrit asshole. Cannot wait for the full on court of public opinion to burn him out.
Wait, where’s my shocked face.
He will be fine. He checks enough boxes and had a huge twitter following.
I don’t really care much about Old Lady Takei. But you know what they say about living in glass houses
