Jesse Jackson And John Singleton Accused Of Sexual Harassment

A writer for The Root blog made the tea this week when she accused civil rights icon Jesse Jackson and movie director John Singleton of sexual harassment. In a lengthy post titled “Don’t Let the Smile Fool You.  I’m Cringing on the Inside,” The Root writer Danielle Young claims she was groped by the Rev. Jesse Jackson following his keynote speech at the American Black Film Festival. Young also recalled an experience she had interviewing  John Singleton and the cast of Snowfall a few months ago at the American Black Film Festival. She said she had just wrapped up her interview with Mr. Singleton when he grabbed her by the wrist to pull her close and said, “Bring that juiciness over here.”
