You know Allison Williams from the classic HBO show Girls, among other things.

However, what you may not know is that Allison had a brief stint on another HBO show, Boardwalk Empire, in her early days as an actress — and it doesn’t sound like her on-set experience was all that great.

During a recent appearance on the “Women Behind the Words” panel at the Nantucket Film Festival (via IndieWire), Allison realized what a crew member said to her and how it reflected the general attitude towards people in Hollywood who identify as women.

Allison said that she was acting as a stand-in for the show’s pilot and that it was “the coolest experience ever” to be a part of it. “A great pilot,” she said. “It was shot on film. It was amazing.”

However, Allison then recalled an experience she had while helping out with the crafts on set. “A member of the crew came up and said, ‘So what are you doing here? Are you the eye candy on set?’”

Allison went on to say that such experiences have been quite common for her while working in Hollywood. “It’s an example of me being at work and someone saying that to me,” she said, before recounting another inappropriate comment someone made to her on another set.

“See how little shocked you both are,” she told the other panelists after recalling those anecdotes. “That familiar fuzzy feeling.”
Ryan O’Reilly signs a four-year deal with the Predators worth $4.5 million a year.
Dom Luszczyszyn: Ryan O’Reilly seemed to be one of the most overpaid players this summer, and it felt like the signs were already set when the Maple Leafs failed to re-sign him. He’s got a championship pedigree, a Selke trophy pedigree, a leadership pedigree – he’s everything hockey people love. That screams clear overpayment for a player who’s on the wrong side of 30 and has already shown rapid signs of decline in recent seasons.
Imagine our surprise if O’Reilly jumps in at a price that exactly reflects its market value. He signed for four years for $4.5 million and we reckon something close to $4.2 million is reasonable. Relatively speaking, this is a beautiful piece of work. It’s no bargain and doesn’t get an A for that reason, but it’s solid and way better than what we can expect on hockey’s dumbest day.
O’Reilly is a great playmaker and a smart player – that should help him continue in this league as his running speed continues to decline. A big problem, however, is that his defensive power has also waned and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to imagine him being able to continue to handle difficult periods in the third or fourth year of this contract.
For the Predators, O’Reilly is a great fit for a team looking to rebuild. He plays hockey the right way and can be a strong mentor to the team’s up-and-coming players. The acquisition of Matt Duchene and the trade with Ryan Johansen means that O’Reilly has a top six spot open to make a name for itself. The real question here is how long he will be successful at it.
contract class: B fit grade: B+
Shayna Goldman: Welcome to the Barry Defiance era. The Predators did some work to clear two Center contracts. First, it was Ryan Johansen, whose game has clearly slowed down. Then Matt Duchene, who was signed as a center player but has now switched to the wing. Those moves paved the way for some young players to take on more significant roles, but it still made sense for Nashville to find someone to take on a more difficult role and make things easier for the up-and-coming players. This is where Ryan O’Reilly comes in.
O’Reilly obviously isn’t having its best season, but the big problem seemed to be playing alongside players who couldn’t take their chances in St. Louis. But in Toronto, that bounced back fairly quickly, so the offensive uptrend is still very much in place. Of course, he won’t be surrounded by players of the same caliber in Nashville, but he can be effective without an elite winger.
The big question is where his defense currently stands. It was really hard to figure out if his game was sluggish compared to the Blues or if his surroundings weighed on him given how this team began to crumble defensively last season. And when he switched to the 3C role in Toronto, he just didn’t have enough time to judge. That’s what Nashville is banking on with this contract. As of this writing, it’s a reasonable bet given where the Predators are that he can take some of those more defensive minutes to take some of the pressure off other players. They don’t have any other options anyway. But in the second half of this contract, that may not be the case. Ideally, by then some of the younger centers can move up the roster or management can look elsewhere to address the issue.
Add to that the leadership qualities he brings and how that helps the Predator culture, which seems to be a high priority for Defiance, and it all works out – and at this price point. This is a very solid deal for Nashville and a good deal for the player too.
War between Ukraine and RussiaFilesIn order to carry out the counter-offensive faster and more effectively, the Ukrainians still need Western help, explains Ambassador Extraordinary Vadym Omelchenko.
For several weeks, the Ukrainian army has been slowly but surely gnawing at Russian positions as part of the counteroffensive launched from Kiev. But it remains constrained by a lack of armament, particularly fighter jets, its commander-in-chief Valeri Zaloujny stressed in an interview published by the Washington Post on Friday. In Paris, Ambassador Extraordinary Vadym Omelchenko reiterated this need while emphasizing the importance of Western aid in general and France in particular to the Ukrainian war effort.
The Ukrainian army has made progress in recent days. How’s the counter-offensive going? Has it entered its active phase?
We have reason for cautious optimism. I would call what is happening on the ground “an intelligence counteroffensive.” The most important thing for us remains the preservation of the human life of all our soldiers. We will continue to implement our plans and are of course dependent on the support of our partners. In trust, together.
War in Ukraine, high tensions are also felt between the leaders of the Kremlin and the Elysee Palace. French President Emmanuel Macron “has repeatedly stated that he is on the side of Ukraine.” Perhaps it is time to put an end to this verbal diarrhea and side with France,” writes Dmitry Medvedev, deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council and former President of Russia, on Twitter.
“The money spent in vain on Zelenskyy’s gang weapons could have been of use to the common French citizen,” he added.
Urban artist Denisse Michelle Tejeda, better known as La Perversa, shared on her official Instagram account that her boyfriend Yesther “came out of the fridge.” after serving 12 sentences at La Victoria Prison.
“I love you, you don’t know how happy I am, all I needed was for you to be out.”read the message the singer released, although minutes later she deleted what she had written.
The news came after the singer Bulova released an audiovisual video in which he, along with other friends, hugged the recently released man.
“My brother on the street after 12 years in the fridge like a boy”said the “Pomposo” performer, who is also Yesther’s brother.
La Perversa made their relationship public in 2021 and since then she had visited him in prison.
Henry and Guterres are currently discussing the general crisis in the country, a statement from the government office confirmed.
The UN chief landed this Saturday in Port-au-Prince, a city in a difficult security situation due to the actions of armed groups and amid a surge in violence.
“I am in Port-au-Prince to express my full solidarity with the Haitian people and to urge the international community to continue standing with Haiti, including with a strong international force in support of the Haitian National Police,” he wrote online. social Twitter after his arrival.
He stressed that this is not the time to forget Haiti, he added.
In addition to Henry, Guterres has to meet with representatives from political parties and civil society, as well as members of the High Transition Council and officials from the various UN missions in Haiti.
The UN Secretary-General will also emphasize the need for an inclusive and Haitian-led political path to hold elections and restore constitutional order, the world body said in a statement.
Guterres’ visit comes at a critical time for the Caribbean country ravaged by gang violence that left more than a thousand dead, injured and kidnapped in the first five months of the year.
Three days after UN independent human rights expert William O’Neill painted a bleak picture for the Caribbean state, beset by misery, fear and suffering.
According to O’Neill, the human rights situation in Haiti is dramatic and he denounced the rape and sexual assault of minors and the deteriorating living conditions in prisons, where 219 prisoners died in 2022 due to malnutrition and lack of access to food.
45,000 police were on duty, but there were violent riots and looting for the fourth consecutive night. The President of France cancels his visit to Germany. The Nahel who was shot was buried in the immediate family circle.
Riots broke out in several French cities for the fourth consecutive night. The Interior Ministry announced on Saturday that more than 1,300 people had been arrested. Because of the riots, President Emmanuel Macron canceled his planned visit to Germany. The riots were triggered by the death of a 17-year-old boy of North African descent. He was buried on Saturday with close family in Nanterre.
According to preliminary data from the Ministry of the Interior, 1,350 vehicles were set on fire across the country during the renewed disturbances on Saturday night, 234 buildings were set on fire or damaged and 2,560 fires were set on roads. 79 police and gendarmes were injured. A total of 1,311 people were arrested, significantly more than the previous night. Overall, however, according to Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, the violence has subsided.
The riots in Marseille were particularly violent. Many people of North African descent live in France’s second largest city. According to the police, a fire broke out in a supermarket “in connection” with the disturbances. In the center of the southern French port city, young and often masked protesters hurled projectiles at police vans, and police used tear gas. Unrest also continued in Paris. According to authorities, the protesters are mobile, well-connected and often “very young”.
French authorities tightened measures again on Friday to bring the situation back under control. 45,000 police and gendarmes were mobilized, about 5,000 more than the night before.
Night curfew, traffic is stopped
In addition, from 21:00, buses and trams across the country were suspended and the sale of fireworks and flammable liquids was prohibited. Big events such as concerts were canceled and nighttime curfews were imposed in several places.

In the greater Paris area, bus and tram traffic is to be closed again on Saturday night and nightly Metro service is to be reduced by an hour. In Marseille, all public transport must stop after 6 pm. All protest rallies were again banned. A fan club of the football club Olympique Marseille called on all young residents of the city to restrain themselves.
Macron cancels state visit to Germany
Macron wants to meet with mayors about the unrest. Some local politicians had already called for a curfew and police reinforcements to deal with the violent riots. The president had to stay in France for the next few days because of the internal political situation, the Élysée Palace and the Office of the Federal President announced on Saturday. Macron spoke to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier by telephone and briefed him on the situation in his country, a spokeswoman for Steinmeier said. “President Macron has asked to postpone the planned state visit to Germany.”
Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan called on the government to immediately deploy additional security forces. “Scenes of looting and violence are unacceptable,” he wrote on Twitter late on Friday. In Lyon, France’s third-largest city, police used armored vehicles and a helicopter. The mayor there, Gregory Doucet, also called for reinforcements. In Paris, police cleared the Place de la Concorde, the largest square in the capital, on Friday night. A large number of people gathered there for a protest demonstration.
The outbreak of violence has plunged Macron and his government into the worst crisis since the start of the yellow vest protests in 2018. Macron has not yet ordered the imposition of a state of emergency – according to Darmanin, however, this is not ruled out. “We do not rule out any hypothesis and we will see what the President of the Republic decides after tonight”, he told TF1 on Friday night.

Protests also in overseas territories and in Brussels
There were also riots in the French overseas territories: in Cayenne, capital of South American French Guiana, a man was killed by a ricochet on Friday night (local time) in connection with the riots, according to local authorities. According to media reports, the man was an employee of the local administration.
According to a report by the France-Antilles regional portal, there was also violence in the Caribbean overseas territory of Martinique on Friday night. About 20 to 30 hooded people threw stones at police in the capital, Fort-de-France. Garbage cans were set on fire in several places.

Young people also gathered again in Brussels on Friday afternoon in response to the 17-year-old’s death. According to a police spokeswoman, they gathered in different locations after a call on social media. Meanwhile, around 50 people have been arrested pre-emptively, she said. Already on Thursday night there were clashes between young people and police in the Belgian capital.
Policeman in custody, countries urge caution
The unrest was sparked by the death of a young man during a police check on Tuesday. A motorcycle patrol in Nanterre, near Paris, stopped 17-year-old Nahel behind the wheel of a car. As the young man suddenly left, a deadly shot was fired from the officer’s service weapon. The incident caused consternation across the country, and France has been rocked by violent unrest ever since. The police officer responsible for Nahel’s death has been arrested. A formal manslaughter investigation was launched against him.
Many people from poor and multi-ethnic neighborhoods feel disadvantaged and neglected by the government. Complaints about police violence and racism have been piling up for a long time. The riots are reminiscent of street battles in 2005, which lasted for three weeks. At that time, two young men in Paris, fleeing the police, hid in a transformer house and died from an electric shock. President Jacques Chirac felt compelled to declare a state of emergency.
Austria, Germany, Britain and the United States had already warned their citizens with travel plans in France to be careful on Friday because of the unrest and updated their safety instructions. Hotel and catering industry association president Thierry Marx reported numerous booking cancellations.
