Member DragonClaws Posted December 13, 2017 Member Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) After reading a comment by @One Armed Boxer from another thread, I did a search online and found this.

Member Gaijin84 Posted December 13, 2017 Member Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Uh oh... his initial statement to HK01 is pretty damning. "never had to force myself on anybody"?? Wonder what his wife thinks about that. Well... looking at the news in the last few hours, I guess I know... they just got separated. https://www.facebook.com/bey.logan Edited December 13, 2017 by Gaijin84 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to run around with women, why get married and have children?, because they will be affected by this behaviour. I still feel this is the tip of iceberg when it comes to this kind of thing. Something might come along and take the media attention off it, but the entertainment industry is getting some stick at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this is not an isolated case in the Hong Kong film industry. It's going to take some seriously brave women to come out and take on the local film execs. Was this a bit easier since Bey is a foreigner? Or harder? I'm not sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly wealth keeps a lot of guilty people out of jail, who to say this didnt go off in other studios over the years?. Both men and women, from all over the world will have been effected by this type of stuff, in the workplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member De Ming Li Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Oh well, I'm actually not surprised by this at all. Men in positions of power have, in regards to women, invariably abused those powers. Not all of of course, likely not most but probably a large percentage. It's perhaps unavoidably human. I was never ever naive enough to believe that Bey was a perfect person, I like him for his vast knowledge on Chinese cinema and I bought films on physical media for his commentary, nothing more or less. So, in spite of these allegations now coming out, I still respect him 100% for immersing himself in the Hong Kong film industry and educating viewers on so many little factoids of the genre. In practical terms, I hope these allegations will not deter companies from collaborating with him on future audio commentaries. Edit: Bey likely had a fetish for East Asian women, and thought he could take advantage of them whenever wherever, in true "sexpat" manner.

Member De Ming Li Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 Following this development on Mike Leeder's Facebook page, apparently Logan has for a while been known for his sleaziness towards the opposite sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Takuma Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) From now on, maybe Bey can do commentaries for Pink Eiga's Groper Train DVDs? Edited December 14, 2017 by Takuma 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Mike Leeder Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 There's a reason i ended my dealings with him, his behaviour got progressively worse and the current revelations show how bad it got.... and hopefully now it'll be dealt with 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 The sad thing is that given his continuous behavior and attitude, was the number of women who probably succumbed to the pressure he put on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I cant see anyone wanting to hire him, then again stranger things have happened. Wonder how this will effect the release of Attrition?, the star and producer now connected to a some sleazy story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection is so remote to the average movie-goer that I can't see it having any effect. I don't think B&E Productions is a big enough name to the general public in order to change the schedule. Of course that's just my opinion, I don't have any inside information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, wasnt sure if it would effect perspective buyers, not wanting to associate with the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted December 14, 2017 Member Share Posted December 14, 2017 His statements make him sound like a massive prick. “Too many girlfriends”. What an arsehole. He comes across as too big for his boots. And people that come across that way typically use their power in shitty ways. I woukdn’t be surprised if any of this is true. Sadly, if it is, he won’t be one that’s shamed on a national level because too few people actually know who he is. Unlike your Weinsteins and Spaceys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they were probably waiting for something to happen to Weinstein before trying to out Logan. I'm thinking they thought would be blacklisted from Hollywood or the US market due to the power Weinstein had here if they went public with this before that scandal broke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted December 16, 2017 Member Share Posted December 16, 2017 This is disappointing, I did hold him in high regard. I've been listening to his commentaries since I was 13. I corresponded with him through email and facebook. I'd consider his commentaries the best source of info on HK cinema I came across before joining this forum and his enthusiasm was influential. Now all that's been tarnished somewhat by his behaviour and his behaviour will be what's in the back of my mind when I think of him. Another thing is I'll have to think twice before referencing the name 'Bey Logan' due to it's association and how it might be interpreted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
