It was very wrong what the male did. When I was in Ballet the girls passed me around like a beach ball. I'm not going to sit here and say "I didn't like it." This happens to straight males in dance but of course it is strictly forbidden for heterosexual males to say this.
This is so so so SOOO important. This broke my heart because the place of her dreams became her worst nightmare but it's also really important because she shows how she got back up and spoke up for herself, her coworkers, and women everywhere about how all systems in the world need to change for the protection and human rights of every person.
As a straight male who danced ballet you are always heavily outnumbered by beautiful girls and so you obviously have to be very conscientious about extracurricular activities with the girls. You cannot forget she is a lady. Given the discipline the art instills in Cavaliers I am very surprised and also very disappointed a male dancer would act this way.
Thank you for highlighting this issue. Female dancers work incredibly hard, have done so since childhood and are always told how easy it is to be replaced. It's long past time that dancers in general receive more respect. To have male dancers treating female dancers this way is a gross violation of these women in every possible way. To know that men affiliated with the company, at the Board level and others such as the Artistic Director, engaged in this as well is shocking. Isn't it time that all men receive better education? This toxic male culture has to end. These men know better, they just prefer behaving like jerks. And yes that word "jerk" is a very sanitized version of what these men are. Real men don't behave this way. And yes, Alexandra's correct: this is hatred.
Yeah because straight men only get into dance in order to hit on women and have an excuse to touch them when they're dancing. Haven't you seen those straight guys who take dance classes hoping to meet hot girls? They are creepy AF
Read Gelsey Kirkland's book Dancing On My Grave. It gives you can insight not only on her personally demons, but on the ballet culture. She had relationships with several prominent male dancers and it talks about a negative undercurrent within the company back then!
The fact that Chase was verbally abusive and drunk on a regular basis SHOULD have been a clue to Alexandra......but alot of women/people ignore things that happen in relationships and brush certain actions over of their lovers/friends. There seems to be a continuous undercurrent of abusive behavior in the NYCB particularly, going back from Gelsey Kirkland's book Dancing On My Grave when she danced in the 70s. I pray that it finally stops! I also pray Alexandra dances again-somewhere else of course!
yes..its time for these women to take the responsibility and say enough. not after 3 yrs or 1 ur or even 3 months. immediately get the f out or its on you.
She clearly said that it was her first relationship, and a psychologically abusive one. She probably didn't realise that it was abnormal behaviour until the trigger. Most people don't realise it from inside these emotional cages they are live in until something really bad happens, or they get help from the outside. She clearly couldn't get help from the colleagues who were also abused the situation...
Time for the women to take responsibility? Really? How about the perpetrators, the men? They need to take responsibility for their perverted and clandestine actions. Chase Finlay fled after getting busted and has never danced again. What he did to her was completely illegal. He should have been arrested and done prison time. He got lucky. He's a little rich boy.
Was reading Akiyoshi Rikako's Giselle novel about ballet when a notification about the ballet from the vice appeared. ps. I haven't (done) read it yet, but so far it's the coolest Akiyoshi novel I've ever read.
If this goes on with the women i dread to think about the kids. How can they have kids going to a place where the donors are doing this. At the end of the day those men wernt Ballerinas. They have no class.
I followed that Amanda Knox case very closely there was a lot of compelling evidence that she was guilty. I forgot she got acquitted. Weird that vice hires her as a interviewer lol
No all the evidence was circumstantial evidence and NOT forensic evidence. They thought it was impossible she wouldn't hear someone be murdered in the house, they thought she wasn't behaving in the "correct" way after the murder and stuff like that. I highly suggest you watch Stephanie Harlowe's video on Amanda Knox. She goes into great detail about everything. It's very interesting. I do believe Amanda is innocent and I believe one of the other four room mates is the real guilty one.
@@WhitneyDahlin idk about that one. Her being innocent is also circumstantial lol. Theres no real reason to believe she didn't really do it. And her behavior was really weird that's for sure.
@@WhitneyDahlin Ohhhhhhhhhh!! THAT'S who she is! She thinks EVERYONE knows who she is?😂 You saved me a trip to google, where I, legit, would've had to read a lot of article to remember who she is!! Thanks!✌
The problem with the entertainment industry is that it has sparkle and idolizes the people who work on this industry so people from the outside have no idea what this sparkle can hide.When someone is at a stage performance because thats his job (and with this job he gets his next meal to put it simply )no one knows what happens 1 minute before he gets on that stage .You can have a physical fight and someone trying to strangle you and hitting you right there behind the curtain and when its your part you have to appear on the stage (sometimes with the same person who was violent with you 1 minute before you appear on that stage )and dance of have a funny sketch and you are all smiles because thats your job ( to perform).You must throw all these jobs out of the pedestal .Actors ,dancers ,singers etc . When you treat these jobs like any other job only then things will change.
"...and sharing them with multiple people..." Hmmm. Don't you mean "multiple men..."? Call a spade a spade. This was a shocking and insane incident(s), and went on for quite a while. Alexa is a brave woman. Chase Finlay was destroyed. Not just due to this, but mostly. He quit NYCB before he could be fired. He had a serious injury which didn't heal well and was taking opioids to manage the pain. Which caused problems with his dancing. Actually his whole damn life.
Do some research, her guilt or innocence is at best inconclusive, due in part to a massive mishandling of the case and evidence by Italian law enforcement. In fact they paid her a settlement recently to that effect. The media also royally fucked her and assumed her guilt.
Ballet is so competitive and the ratio of boy to girl dancers is like 1 to 30 so it's especially competitive for girls, that's why her company treated the boys leniently and treated her like she's replaceable. Choosing to go to trial basically meant she'll never dance professionally because no one will ever hire her again. That's what's so sad/brave. She had a whole career she got into the conservatory at only 15, that means she's a really really talented dancer and that she probably dedicated her entire life to dance before this happened.
This unfortunately has existed since time immemorial….it is not new information…at no level should it ever be tolerated but in a world that takes little girls and continuallly pushes them to sacrifice their lives for the art, it exists….take any elite sport or art and you will find this…..parental control is abdicated and given over eventually to pursue “the dream” ,parents at times will also over look aberrant behavior patterns for “their star” to continue to metamorphosize…. if systems are called on it, denial ensues and those at the top go underground….it’s all wrong but this is the reality and more the norm than not… the whole system needs to be dismantled and reconstructed and let’s be real, given the corridors of privilege and money that support the system ,do you really think this will happen???? It’s sad, buyer beware.
If they don’t kick all the punks right out it will never stop. ACLU would be well advised to take this on. Someone needs to bring this to their attention. L2@OSUlaw
Sounds to me that Chase was in a sexual relationship with those guys as well and therefore some were jealous of her. It’s obvious when you read the messages “I love you!!! Keep our relationship between me us…”
Here a little late, but I saw those messages in the video and I thought they were the mixed in messages he had with her, coaxing her into sending the pics. But you have a good point too now that I think about it.
Amanda Knox?????? The one who pointed the finger, told authorities the black bar owner killed that lady?? The bar owner who rightfully denied it even though he spent time in prison? Amanda who didn't apologize? Amanda who was cartwheeling outside the home just as police were investigating the scene of a gruesome murder of her roommate? The psycho? You employed her??? Ugh.
Why sue the company when her boyfriend sent her pics to his friends who happened to be in the same company?? Isnt it twisted to sue the company giving this dialogue that they harbor a fraternity...
Well it's like if an employee reports sexual harassment/misconduct (which is what this is at the very least) by other employees to her company and the company does nothing; in fact they dismiss it as a "personal matter". The company, then, is liable for not stepping in, and allowing it to happen.
Way to victim blame. The whole point is these were taken without her knowledge and even if they were that does not give someone the right to do something like this
It's not like it was some conspiracy. Way to be mad at your boyfriend and use it as a reason to get rich. If her boyfriend worked at a construction company and showed all his friends and co workers she wouldn't have made it public. Guaranteed
Jarret Jordan Um this is sexual assault that the NYC Ballet and School of American Ballet refused to fire the perpetrator over. I don’t think she’s trying to get rich
I just saw her yt video here , her and her friends are just dancing in public and I saw a comment saying they recognize her and I immediately search up about ballerina explicit imagine scandal and I got here
“I don’t need the legal system to say that what happened to me was wrong” wow!
So right! I agree completely!!
We need more vids like this. Something that puts light on the 'behind-the-scene' of seemingly sophisticated and safe places
It was very wrong what the male did. When I was in Ballet the girls passed me around like a beach ball. I'm not going to sit here and say "I didn't like it." This happens to straight males in dance but of course it is strictly forbidden for heterosexual males to say this.
And this is the most esteemed and highly respected ballet school in the country.

Don't screw your coworkers. Period. Especially one that's further along in said "company"
@@jarretjordan3837 nope. This thing's not on her, buddy. Sorry

Son she lost her job for speaking the truth ... Sad!!
This is so well edited. Keep up the good work!!
put that guy in jail..!
And I thought male balet dances were all gay. Not only they are not gay, but they are really really creepy guys.
Lol I sometimes thought that too
Yeah because straight men only get into dance in order to hit on women and have an excuse to touch them when they're dancing. Haven't you seen those straight guys who take dance classes hoping to meet hot girls? They are creepy AF

The new law and order SVU latest episode that was on TV was, just about this topic
Jesus This is so horrible this happened and is probably STILL happening 😟
Was reading Akiyoshi Rikako's Giselle novel about ballet when a notification about the ballet from the vice appeared. ps. I haven't (done) read it yet, but so far it's the coolest Akiyoshi novel I've ever read.
Truth to power and more respect for women. Thank you for uploading this Vice
Went to see nycb shortly after this and ramasar was booed 😮. Did not feel too sorry for him
If this goes on with the women i dread to think about the kids. How can they have kids going to a place where the donors are doing this. At the end of the day those men wernt Ballerinas. They have no class.
Bless her heart.
Those messages were AWFULLLLLLLL!!!! Ugh, so awful.
Wow why tf is no one in the comments talking about all those disgusting messages!!??
Cause they’re too disgusting
How about Amanda Knox interviews Casey Anthony???
Interestingly enough, they both got acquitted of all charges against them only a few Months apart
Omg poor girl. I hope she is doing better ❤

Y’all gave Amanda Knox a job 🤔
why u think she is a satan worshipping, sex addict, sadist murderer?
@@Julie-jl2kk she’s a murderer..
Does anyone know what is Chase Finlay doing now? I know he resigned from NYB
UPDATE: He is now a therapist 🤡
I would like to know too
He gave some clues on his instagram.
How is he a therapist? 😵💫
Omg

The company covered it up and dismissed it?? How can you possibly defend this???
A board member was sent lewd images of an employee who didn't consent to being filmed and everything was silent. She is right to be suing the company.
Lol The West is so ironic. Hahaha
@sandeep sahu A murderer moralising about sexual assault. What could be more ironic?
Ceremonial and Transcendental Occult Magic, this is what was happening to that poor girl.
I’m so tired of you conspiracy theorist
How exactly?
If women do not wish to be made ashamed they should not have pictures taken of themselves performing shameful acts.
She didn't know, easy to conceal cameras
Way to victim blame. The whole point is these were taken without her knowledge and even if they were that does not give someone the right to do something like this
If you think there is sexual exploitation, just leave.
She did, she had no clue until he had already been sharing for a while. She left him after discovering they existed.
or maybe the perpetrators should face consequences
Amazing you just solved sexual abuse
