In a interview with GQ, beloved British actress, Helen Mirren, says that she was date raped several times when she was younger but didn't call the police. She also says you shouldn't either. In addition to shoplifting for food, used to love snorting coke every once in a while when she was young but the shocker is that she enjoys a good rape. The Daily Mail reports:
In an interview, the actress said women who are raped after willingly going to bed with a man cannot expect their attackers to be charged. The 63-year-old, who won an Oscar last year for playing the Queen, said date-rape was a 'tricky area' and something men and women had to work out between themselves...She said that if a woman voluntarily ended up in a man's bedroom, took her clothes off and engaged in sexual activity, she still had the right to say 'no' at the last second. If the man ignored her, Dame Helen said, that was rape. But she continued: 'I don't think she can have that man into court under those circumstances. I guess it is one of the many subtle parts of the men-women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them.'...Dame Helen said young women now were better at standing up for themselves. 'Times have changed,' she said. 'I hate young girls going around beating each other up, but I love the fierceness of young girls nowadays, and the way they just say, '**** off', because I wish I'd been taught to say '**** off' when I was younger. I wish I'd had those words in my arsenal of self-defence. 'Instead, I was polite and didn't have the courage to say that to men who wouldn't accept "no" for an answer. I was very innocent when I went to college in London. I went to a convent school and had never spent a night away from home or gone to parties or any of that. 'I found guys were horrible, mean, rude, insulting, and so without feeling. I was looking for love and for someone who just liked me and I just met all these creeps.' She recalled: 'I was [date-raped], yes. A couple of times. Not with excessive violence, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will. It's such a tricky area, isn't it? Especially if there is no violence. 'I mean, look at Mike Tyson [the boxer jailed for raping beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington in an Indianapolis hotel room]. I don't think he was a rapist.'"
This is interesting, because I'm also cool with date rape too. You know, as long as she calls me the next day and tell me she love me after she is done rapping me!!! I have added a few nude sex scene shots of the coke loving mature actress below. Click on pictures to enlarge.
Here she is nude and in a few sex scenes over her long career.
Mirren was date-raped and she kinda loved it. "Not with excessive violence, or being hit, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will."
"I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties." (She says she hasn't used the stuff in over 20 years.)"I needed to shoplift for food." (The 63-year-old actress says she's still frugal and cuts her own hair.)
Oscar-winning British actress Helen Mirren said she used to love cocaine, but stopped taking the drug after learning that a Nazi war criminal profited from the trade, according to a magazine.
The 63-year-old, who won an Academy Award for her role in The Queen, was quoted by GQ magazine as saying she used to dabble in marijuana and cocaine when she was younger.
"I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties," Mirren was quoted as telling the magazine in an interview, which was made available to the media Monday. "But what ended it for me was when they caught (Nazi war criminal) Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early 80s. He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.
"And I read that in the paper, and all the cards fell into place, and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this ... horrible man in South America," she was quoted as saying.
Mirren also reportedly said she used to steal during what she described as a "very poor" youth.
"I needed to shoplift for food," she reportedly said, adding that while she enjoyed "the accoutrements of movie star life" she still had frugal instincts, cutting her own hair and wearing dollar-store glasses.
Mirren said she was not a royalist but had become a fan of Queen Elizabeth II since playing her in The Queen.
"It's a miracle she's never gone mad," Mirren was quoted as saying. "She is a remarkable person, who has achieved an amazing thing with a life she neither chose for herself, nor particularly wanted."
Mirren's interview is carried in the British edition of GQ, which goes on sale Thursday.
The actress has come under fire from a high-ranking British MP after she suggested not all victims of date rape should expect to take their case to court.The Queen star admitted she was the victim of date rape on several occasions in her youth because she didn't have the courage to stand up to men who wanted to have sex with her.
Mirren added she never reported the incidents to police because the men had not been violent with her.
The actress also stated in the candid interview with British magazine GQ that it would be hard for women to press charges against someone they had planned on being sexually active with.
She told the publication, "I was (date-raped), yes. A couple of times. Not with excessive violence, or being hit, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will."
"I don't think she (a female rape victim) can have that man into court under those circumstances."
And the star has been heavily criticised by rape victim supporters who say her comments only make it harder for victims to get the judicial system to take the crime seriously.
British Home Office official Tony MCNulty brands Mirren's comments "profoundly disappointing" and "very unhelpful".
He adds, "No means no, means no, and that needs to be the message as clearly as we can in terms of rape."
