Former SNL superfan who settled abuse lawsuit against Horatio Sanz tells her story | Nightline

[@imani6938]

This WHOLE story is shedding even more light on the fact that her parents were not involved in her life. Horatio was ABSOLUTELY wrong, but why aren't more questions about her parents are guardians being asked?

[@umbrastar]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@nyc9993]

Yes it's her parents fault that these Hollywood pedophiles preyed upon a young girl God knows how many more girls and, boys they've done this too Lorne Michaels doing this sh#t for 40 years +

[@modiabcomedy]

I read through the court documents. She wasn’t a New York resident she commuted from Philly. What kind of parents would allow their underage daughter to commute a hundred miles to NYC every weekend without question?

[@IsaiahThomass]

You're so correct!

[@yolandaneely6431]

Parties started after 4am? Where were her parents? My gosh at 16 you know right from wrong!! Horatio was absolutely wrong but her parents should be held responsible too.

[@kazior6521]

Exactly, what parents will let an underage girl hang out with the SNL crew unsupervised? Maybe her parents didn’t know.

[@dz7a756]

​@kazior6521 Even if they didn't know she was at an SNL party...how is she out until 4:00 AM as a 16 year old 🤔???!!!

[@homelesshannah50]

STFU!! You hypocrites ALWAYS defend NON BLACK male celebrities! A parent can't be around their child 24/7 idiot

[@Criticalthinker0515]

​@@kazior6521the kind of parents that want free money and are willing to pimp out their daughter

I blame Bush. If they had never appeared on SNL, none of this would have happened.

[@farmasyst-gv7hh]

That da.n Gavin Rossdale.First he's shtupping the help, and now this?

[@quintong55]

How are kids being invited, let in, allowed to go to these parties???!!!!! Where are the parents???

[@ReAnnRing]

Ask Drew Barrymore. Her alcohol and smoking habit started when she was a kid with her mother's full knowledge of her hanging with the Hollywood crew…… Doesn't sound like things have changed much since then. I can't imagine this girls parents not having some idea what their daughter was up to attending parties at 4 AM.

[@blackbroadwayandbeyond]

​@@ReAnnRingRight. I always heard Drew's mother dragged her to those parties because Drew was her ticket in. Drew said herself that she'd be sitting at a table drinking whatever was in the glasses.

[@quintong55]

@@ReAnnRing the difference is that drew(even though she was young) was a celebrity so her and her mother were invited. And as a celebrity, you have to go to these parties to network and meet people. But how does this random girl get invited? And how do her parents allow her to go without a chaperone. Doesn’t make sense.

[@dz7a756]

​@quintong55 OMgosh!!! Just said the same thing!!! EXACTLY this is a random teen with HOPES of being on SNL...not actually a castmate. Be well and be at peace.

[@janellegrace5815]

Where were her parents? Santz is completely wrong, but involved parents could have possibly prevented this.

[@76shian]

Parents?

[@mychanellife1]

she sounds like a stalker

[@SteveTorres-lq3cp]

Yep

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

Why not fallon or tracey morgan? This lawsuit seems targeted towards one person when the cast obviously was all part of it. I also don't appreciate the reporter's flippant approach, she talks about it like a fun summer camp recollection at the end.

[@homelesshannah50]

YOU hypocrites aren't targeting HIM!! Always defend the NON BLACK right bitch?

[@JosephFernandez-p1k]

She must of liked it or it was a set up,why keep going back..

[@redshiftexperiment]

I agree that getting with younger girls is not good. The other part of this is just interesting to look at because this news piece is all one sided which is understandable given the climate. I just picture this desperately horny fat guy being constantly approached by a hot 17 year old. I mean he probably talked himelf into thinking she cared for him. The one part where she is like "i tried to get through a day or week without messaging him." It sounds like she was after him a bit. Could it be that when he moved on with his life she got angry and decided to try to ruin his life? It just all around seems sketchy. She says "we were close friends for 20 years" and then suddenly decides im gonna wreck your life. - I know this is not a justification but most people in the comments had great great grandfathers who married 17 year olds and started a family with them and thats how all you got here. I kind of think it is nice that Sanz admitted in a personal chat that he should have acted better. He didnt have to do that. Then she uses that message to destroy him. Like what are you trying to accomplish by doing this? Teach the world that you shouldnt go to 4am drug and booze parties when you are 17 because someone might try to feel you up? I mean I think most sane parents already know that and would not let their kids do that. This just seems like a mission to destroy a fat loser who was so awkward that he thought he could go on dates with a high school girl who is hanging around him all the time. I mean it is his fault, but it just seems like we could look at the other side of the story a bit.

[@RV-there-Yet]

🎯Every word.

[@orangelove9248]

And her mom let her stayed that late

[@lhj276]

So did her dad.

[@skauffman]

Agree. Who at 16 is allowed to be out until 4am. Not denying what happened is sad but her mother failed her.

[@juliej5917]

What about a father? Might he share 50% of the burden?

[@jaxsonc4762]

And the man did what he did!! This is basically saying “what were you wearing”

[@Pou1gie1]

This way of thinking is often used as a way to justify pedophilia and rape

[@kwabenaamanfoh6675]

Perfect example why young kids, under the 18, are not able to see the consequences of there actions. Not all the time but the majority of the time. The parents, if they acted accordingly, failed properly parent and place their child in this entanglement.

[@markosheeran7776]

in case people don't watch the video all the way through, Horatio Sanz admits grooming her via text and says "if you want to metoo me, you have every right" -

[@georgemiser]

The texts are bullshit. MeToo is the movement of whores.

[@abcdefg2120]

Maybe you should watch the video all the way through. These “texts” are referenced in the lawsuit but never shown. It’s very strange that photographic evidence is produced of decades old diary entries but as far as the text messages from the last five years that might actually prove something, we’re meant to take Jane Doe at her word that they exist and that they say what she claims they say.

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

She was a kid… underaged and groomed. If you don’t think that’s wrong there’s something wrong with you.

[@butkusfan23]

Kids do stupid things. The real question is why would a grown man take advantage of a child, even if she should not have been there? One of them was a kid, one was a grown man. The grown man should have done what was right. You sound like you're blaming the 16 year old girl. That's a child.

[@Time4aKiss]

@@butkusfan23 She should have done what was right. That's your logic.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Strange how all the incriminating evidence from the computer vanished. Was this young lady just insanely naive or had she no parental guidance at all growing up? Worshipping celebrities or even worse, just worshiping the idea of celebrity, which this girl did, is a dangerous road. Not blaming her, just saying there are some red flags here with the plausibility of her sad story.

[@Chillin4All2Day0]

You know what, I've noticed it's weird that Jimmy Fallon's closest Confederate on SNL rarely took the liberty, it seems, to even have his agent book appearances on The Tonight show . That's an extremely plush Hollywood connection , this all makes perfect sense now . It's so sad

[@frogmansinclair]

Jimmy Fallon was on abc or fox he'd been canceled a long time ago...don't buy he didn't know about this..

[@timothyivey5497]

You don't know. Oh wait ...offf course you do. Sorry, my bad.

[@ttacking_you]

Of course I don't . Why else would his closest writing and preforming partner on SNL be such a stranger on Jimmy's show ?

[@ttacking_you]

Jimmy's literally denying his struggling friend cash money, in this country that can only be justified by a career shattering transgression which renders the offender ' toxic "

[@Auntkekebaby]

He's shady and not funny. He's probably one of the ones laughing at her.

bro, i was a teenager in the 90s in nyc. a few of my friends were groomed by older men at the time. we didn't call it "groomed" but we knew it was f'd up. no excuses. it's ok admitting that some older douchebag tried to take advantage of a young girl. like, that doesn't make you less of a man.
