Yes, at the home of well known talk show host and supposed comedian. To be honest with you it was really more like blackmail.
Said partner at the time was a drama critic and restaurant writer reviewer.
The individual involved has made comments to me before about sleeping with him, but i just brushed them off.
But i guess because i was a guest in his home for a dinner party and ??? he felt he could further. So back came the proposition, but this time it had a caveat attached to it - if i did not sleep with him, he would contact some of the various contacts my partner had in his line of work and "put in a bad word for him"
I said nothing. I walked out of the room we were in - which I had stupidly gone into with just him and myself - he was "showing me his study" so I stupidly thought - and went and found said partner. All i said to him was, I want to leave this place within the next 15 minutes and if you do not want to go, I shall call a cab to get home. And i walked away.
15 minutes later we were out of that idiot's home and said partner knew i was upset about something as I would not say a word all the way back to his place.
I never told him what happened.
But i did tell him that if there were ever any more invitations to this person's home for dinner, etc. - I would not be attending, and i left it at that.
Said individual attempted to apologize at other events we were both in attendance at - but I would not let him come near me. As soon as I saw him heading my way - I made sure i went and talked with other people or got lost in the crowd or went back to my seat if we were at the theatre.
I have to honestly say, i felt violated by this idiot's actions. I have never forgotten that miserable incident nor sadly where his home was in Beverly Hills. When I am in that area, I make sure i never go down the street where that house is.
eM.
