In a new Los Angeles Times report, 38 women accuse director James Toback of sexual harassment.

The allegations against Toback somewhat resemble those against producer Harvey Weinstein, who was fired from his own company earlier this month after scores of women said the career-making mogul assaulted, harassed or intimidated them. Toback, 72, stands accused of harassing women he employed and women he approached on the street.

It’s long been said that Toback was a sexual predator. In 1989, Spy Magazine reported that he would approach women, brag about being a Hollywood director, ask whether they’d like to consider a role in one of his forthcoming films and then ask them to meet him at late hours. Gawker echoed these claims in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Now, days after the #MeToo hashtag encouraged survivors of sexual assault to speak out on social media, more than three dozen women told the Los Angeles Times that Toback ejaculated in front of them, probed their masturbation habits, demanded they disrobe and/or rubbed his groin against their bodies. These incidents allegedly occurred in hotel rooms, on movie sets and in offices.

Toback was a notorious name in Hollywood circles, even though he never achieved widespread household fame. In 1991, he received an Oscar nomination for writing the Warren Beatty gangster movie “Bugsy.” Many of his films, including “Fingers,” “The Pick-Up Artist,” “Two Girls and a Guy” and “Harvard Man,” revolve around womanizers, the mafia or both. “The idea is not to have a separation between my life and my movies,” Toback said in a 2002 Salon interview.

HuffPost contacted Toback’s agent, Jeff Berg, for comment on Sunday. “Best to speak directly to him,” Berg said in an email, providing Toback’s “mobile” number. When reached, Toback said he is “writing something” in response and declined to comment further.

Toback’s accusers include Louise Post, the guitarist and vocalist for the rock band Veruca Salt. “He told me he’d love nothing more than to masturbate while looking into my eyes,” she said.

LIBERALS LOVE ALEC BALDWIN, DON'T THEY?​

There are movies that withstand the test of time, and then there’s James Toback and Alec Baldwin’s Seduced and Abandoned. When the documentary was released in 2013, the film about gaining funding was praised for being a quirky, behind-the-scenes look into what it takes to make a movie. In 2017, the film still maintains its “it’s just Hollywood” vibe, but in a media climate obsessed with the growing sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein and Toback paired with the film’s questionable interviews, that behind-the-scenes tone carries far more sinister implications.

Set over the course of 10 days, Seduced and Abandoned follows Baldwin and Toback (Two Girls and a Guy) as they drift around Cannes Film Festival, sometimes trying to secure funding for a film they want to make, sometimes interviewing stars and directors about what it takes to make a movie.

The documentary is filled with grandiose statements praising the addicting struggle of Hollywood. Examples include Orson Welles’ iconic reflection, “I look back on my life, and it’s 95 percent running around trying to raise money to make movies and 5 percent actually making them. It’s no way to live” and the sentence “It’s no way to live but what’s the alternative?”

In Toback’s hands, making movies is considered to be both a source of bravery and pride. That sentiment is perhaps best reflected in the New Yorker’s review of the film, which praised Baldwin and Toback’s buddy dynamic and “self-revealing brave face on humiliation and despair.” In light of the many many allegations levied against Toback, this lighthearted tone and praise of bravery now feels deeply disturbing.

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Times published an explosive story which contained accounts from 38 women accusing Toback of sexual misconduct.

One day and one follow-up story later, that number had grown to at least 238 women.

Hauntingly, the accusations are almost always the same as they detail Toback bluntly approaching new actresses or complete strangers on the street, coercing them to follow him to a private location, and either dry humping their leg or masturbating in front of them.

The allegations against Toback follow the New York Times and New Yorker’s shocking pieces about sexual assault allegations lodged against mega-successful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The LA Times articles also come at a time when Hollywood’s sexual assault problem is finally starting to be discussed openly.
