THR: Neil deGrasse Tyson Cleared to Return to TV by Fox, National Geographic

Considering the allegations, I guess it's safe to say they cleared him because it's hard to prove a rape occurred when he was in college, not because they can say conclusively he didnt do it.
So... um... It's all settled?
The whole investigation seems to have been tight-lipped.
That lady who claimed he raped him has been saying it for years and it just recently was brought to the light. I can't imagine that she's just talking out of her ass since he's exhibited some predatory behavior since that occurred.

Yep. There's probably no one else that could corroborate either story and any potential physical evidence is long gone.
This probably means that they at least didn't find any other allegations (at least for now).
I still had to do a Google search to understand what this is about. He offered her a forearm shake? I can definitely see how under the right circumstances you can make a gesture like that pretty skeevy and uncomfortable for the shakee.
Uh I don't know about that. Louis CK is back and selling out shows after having confessed to beating it off in front of numerous women.
Chris Brown still has his music on the radio and Michael Jackson is still the most played artist on Spotify even after Leaving Neverland.
Justice doesn't always come.
Michael Jackson was investigated multiple times, and went to court and was found innocent. I'm going to trust the justice system over some documentary made for profit.
So was OJ...
Back on topic. But this makes me ashamed to have read National Geographic as a kid, knowing that they enabled this behavior. And of course Fox is letting him back on.
However will I cope being ignored by someone who wilfully accuses people of pedophilia despite the evidence not being there.
Hawking is dead so that leaves Bill Nye. But Netflix snagged him already.
I assume they could, but he's a pretty popular figure and is quite charismatic as far as public science figures go. I know I watched the first series because he was part of it, I don't know any other public science figures beyond Bill Nye who have the mainstream draw that NDT does. But as Air mentioned above, Bill Nye isn't really the same field, and he also probably can't since he's part of Netflix.
There was no court/legal case. It was Fox/National Geographic having an investigation done on the allegations.
So we just have to take the corporations' word for it?
I....don't think I trust them?
I was thinking about him, he'd be probably the best replacement. The other guy I was thinking of was Brian Cox, though I don't know if he'd be a good fit for hosting the show.
With everything that has gone on with others who have been accused or convicted for rape or harrassment.... it would have been easy for NG and Fox to be like.... "yeah not taking any chances. BYE!"
So maybe with their investigations, they found some stuff that was blatantly obvious he is actually innocent..... beeeecause... if new details/evidence came out down the road, and he is actually convicted of these crimes... NG and Fox would have a PR Nightmare all because they didn't take the easy route of just moving on from him.

This motherfucker was recorded shopping for wedding rings in zales with/for a 12 year old boy in the 90s. Get on with that shit lol.
On topic: Anyway, as much as I liked this guy he seems real suspect. Probably not enough evidence and they are trying to move on

If they're not, why didn't they say anything when he was alive and under investigation and in court?
Mod post - Stay on topic.
The majority of the allegations Fox and National Geographic were investigating involved Tyson's unprofessional behavior/harassment towards Women fans and coworkers. These allegations, for example Tyson inappropriately looking at a Woman's tattoo and Tyson giving a Woman a "special handshake" with his shirt off, would be easy enough for Fox and National Geographic to "brush over" from a legal stand point. The most serious allegation was Tyson raping a Woman when he was in college, which would have been difficult to prove after so many years.
I remembered him yesterday when I came across a post mentioning him here, so I googled him to see what has happened since the allegations and I found no update.
I remember the allegations were bad and so was his response, but this whole story went nowhere I feel like. Just like with the Ryan Secrest allegations it seems like he was put in this limbo where no one mentions him and just wait for further details until he's brought back (I think James Franco is an example of someone who's still stuck in that place?).

It's all in the documentary. Maybe try listening to victims instead of blindly believing obvious pedophiles.
Edit: mod post was made while I was drafting this message
I'm conflicted on this. I used to love Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Listened to his stuff on YouTube. The whole "we are star stuff" - Carl Sagan.
Multiple counts of him being sexually inappropriate though... I'm thinking this is the wrong move.

We'll never know if the first accuser is lying or deluded, as her Time Cube-esque website calls into question her fundamental sanity. But even if we dismiss her claims, his assistant's story, which he corroborated, is textbook abuse of power at bare minimum.
I would be extremely hesitant to watch anything he does from this point on and would never work with the dude if I were female.

How come say stallone just keeps making Rocky movies when he raped a teenager in the 80s and there was even a police report?
