I think Pereira is also getting more principal opportunities recently (Baiser, Coppelia, and Allegro Brilliante). The female ranks are just so strong that I find it much more difficult to discern what management thinks. I’m hoping Lauren King also gets more opportunities I think her dancing is just wonderful. Did Ashly Isaacs dance this past season?

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!

This is what Waterbury said in her Q&A with Shiffon.

Meagan Mann is retiring. Based on the hashtags, she might be teaching at SAB?

That’s what I’m thinking as well. I hope it’s true, but I don’t know why they would bump off Reichlen in Diamonds. She’s listed in the corps of Bizet tonight, but not sure if she’s actually performing.

@FPF: That’s Indiana Woodward

I agree completely. She was the highlight of Emeralds for me. I hope she gets a shot at Violette role soon.

I’m going tonight. I’m curious who the Tall girl will be. The instagram post from NYCB with Kretschmar & LaFrenier from two days ago says that Claire was scheduled to debut on the 19th, so Im not sure why casting isn’t updated still. I’m hoping LaFreniere isn’t injured.

Finlay, Catazaro & Ramasar are all old enough to know better.

Yes, there's also a cause of action against him for negligence.

I'm not sure, either. In Catazaro's case, I couldn't find what his messages with Finlay and Loughitano have to do with Waterbury. They were definitely gross, but it doesn't seem like he received photos of her. If anyone has standing to sue him, it's the girl whose picture he sent to Finlay.

It likely is. She doesn’t have the same constraints as the government. Finlay has a 4th amendment right to not have unreasonable searches and seizures from the government.

I wish the drama surrounding the company would be whether Tiler Peck and Robbie Fairchild will share a stage.

in this clip, Mearns doesn’t go all the nose-to-knee either

I wonder to what extent other dancers are getting flak from the public because of this. Huxley seems to have deleted all his posts on Instagram. I hope it’s unrelated to this situation.

I’ll add my vote to Gerrity as well. I thought she was fabulous as Sanguinic in 4Ts.

I would like to see LaFreniere take on the 2nd movement Bizet. I’m eagerly anticipating her performance as the tall girl in Rubies.

Oh yes. If they used an email service hosted by the company, then the company would have copies of those e-mails for sure. I don't think it's been stated in the complaint that they did. I can't imagine Merson would omit that information in the facts of the case. Edited to add: Unless the company server somehow encrypts the e-mails it stores like Apple does. With Apple, the data they store is encrypted as well, so not even Apple knows what data is there. This is to guard against people who hack into their cloud services. The company could be using a third party e-mail server, as well.

That's not necessarily the case. My employer would not know the contents of texts I send during work hours, even if I'm on their WiFi. Apple iMessages are encrypted--the text is basically jumbled up and indecipherable to any one but the recipient. The So only the recipient would see the un-encrypted message.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make with conflating what Finlay did to what Bouder posted. Finlay can posts semi nude photos of himself without issue. If Finlay took and distributed that photograph of Bouder without her knowledge and consent, then yes, he would rightfully be condemned for it. No one is saying NYCB dancers should not have any sexy or sexual photographs. But if it was done without consent, as with what happened to Waterbury, then it is unacceptable morally and legally.

That was my main takeaway, as well. Yikes.

I don't know how much choice they have in the matter with respect to casting. Gina Pazcoguin's words here seems to agree with what Helene said. https://youtu.be/kyIzw8MqjFg?t=4m43s

I agree. From what I can glean from the lawsuit, this is what it says with regard to Ramasar: It says that Ramasar sent photos to Finlay (paragraphs 53-54). It's not clear that the photos were sent without consent/permission from the woman. The lawsuit also says Ramasar asked Finlay for photos (paragraph 52), to which Finlay complied. While Waterbury did not consent to her photos/videos that Finlay took and sent, it's not clear if Ramasar knew that. Merson wrote that Finlay has acknowledged to Ramasar that the photos of Waterbury were taken without consent (paragraph 61), but I didn't the evidence he used to support that claim to be sufficient to prove that claim (as I wrote above regarding the "pissed" comment). I think if Merson's claims turn out to be correct, then I believe Ramasar is as culpable. I'm curious as to how Merson decided which dancers to name, and which dancers remained anonymous. The behavior 55 & 56 are so much more misogynistic than Ramasar & Finlay's exchange. Paragraph 55 also involves an unnamed male principal share photos of a female dancer with Finlay, but it's also unclear if that was done with or without her consent.

6 hours ago, Helene said: The complaint states that Finlay wrote in at least one communication that Waterbury did not know about the images and that she'd be pissed if she knew, ie, notice to the recipient(s) that they were illicit. Probably splitting hairs, but I think Finlay's "pissed" remark to Ramasar was in reference to "showing each other pictures of other women". Without more context, that could very well be Finlay mentioning that Waterbury would be mad that he's looking at pictures of other women (i.e. he was being unfaithful). Merson claims that this exchange shows that Finlay is acknowledging that that the pictures were taken and shared without consent, but that's not the only interpretation of that exchange. The "other women" could even mean women who aren't Waterbury or Maxwell.
