A question for the men. [View all]

Do you have any concerns, given the current climate, that someone from your past may pop up and make allegations of improper behavior by you? A touch, a comment..anything. I was just wondering. But maybe it's mainly focused on men who are famous or work in media or entertainment.

Added: Not necessarily that you DID anything. That someone alleges that you did.
