Before I get started: When did Danny Elfman morph into a cloning experiment of Agnes Morehead & Willie Wonka?

Founder of 1980's band Oingo Boing and Oscar nominated composer, Danny Elfman, is in deep shit. A second woman has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse against him. Late last week, a 47 year old woman (referred to as Jane Doe XX in court documents) alleged that Elfman behaved like a shit bag from 1997 - 2002. 

According to the complaint, the victim met Elfman at a party in 1997 (she was 21 and he was 47at the time). Over the next 5 years when they worked together, Elfman would parade nekkid during their work sessions because "it was the only way he could work, be creative, and successful". 

*WTF?...what a freaking weirdo.*

The victim also stated that Elfman invited her to stay at his California home while she was apartment hunting during 1998. During her stay she claimed Elfman would sleep fully naked in the same bed with her (while she was clothed). Years later Elfman admitted to her that during these slumber party sessions he would jerk-off in bed while she was snoozing away. Ew...gross. Ick. Nasty.  This admission by Elfman led her disassociate herself from with him. 

A representative for the 70 year old Elfman said these allegations against him are "baseless and absurd".

Jane Doe XX allegations are similar to those of his first victim composer Nomi Abadi. Nomi reached a settlement out of court with Elfman. However this past summer she sued him for failing to pay on the out of court settlement. Nomi's lawsuit claims Elfman missed payments of $85,000 of the $830,000 settlement.  You can read more about this here

Comment: JFC, what is it with people? How hard is it to follow the basic golden rules? 1) Look both ways before crossing a street; 2) Treat others as you want them to treat you; 3) Be kind to animals; and 4) Keep your damn hands to yourself. Here's a gif from the Georgia Satellites reminding everyone of rule #4.
