Two More Women Make Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against "I Wuv Da Science" Mascot Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Kneel DatAss, more like it, right?!?!

Two more women, including a fellow astronomer, say Neil deGrasse Tyson is guilty of inappropriate sexual conduct.

Dr. Katelyn N. Allers, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Bucknell University, told me that she was "felt up" by Tyson at an after-party following a meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in 2009. AAS didn’t have a mechanism for reporting sexual harassment at the time, but Dr. Allers says she probably would report the incident if it had happened today.

Another scientist says that Allers relayed these charges close to the time this assault is alleged to have happened.

A different woman makes another complaint:

As if this allegation wasn’t shocking enough, it came within days of my interview with Ashley Watson, a former assistant to Tyson who says she was forced to quit her job due to his inappropriate sexual advances.

...

Watson says she had been working directly under Tyson, who called out Trump in 2016 by saying he would grab him by the crotch when they met, and that they got along well. That all changed, however, when he invited his underling to his apartment at around 10:30 P.M. to "share a bottle of wine" and "unwind for a couple of hours."

Watson, who said she felt pressured to impress her superstar boss, told me she agreed to come in for a glass of wine instead. Upon entering his apartment, Tyson allegedly took off his shoes and shirt, remaining in a tank top undershirt. Unfortunately, the night only got more awkward as Tyson, who is married, reportedly put on romantic music and replayed the most graphic parts.

...

Watson says Tyson started talking about how every human being needs certain "releases" in life, including physical releases. He reportedly mentioned how difficult it had been for him to be away from home for several months.

Watson says Tyson asked her if she needed any releases, and she responded with a story about sexual harassment she endured in the past. It was a smart way to diffuse a tense situation, but she says he was unfazed.

These allegations are in addition to those made by someone calling herself "Amet." To be honest, she seems a bit weird and I think she's anonymous, so I don't know how seriously to take this particular claim.

On the other hand, leftists insisted to me that strange behavior and memory lapses proves that a rape occurred in the case of Brett Kavanaugh.

So this is just about proved now, I think.
