After TV personality Carter Oosterhouse became the latest celebrity to get accused of sexual misconduct, opinions were split about his innocence.
Surprisingly to some, his wife, Justified actress Amy Smart, has come out in his defense, insisting that her husband is innocent and that the story about him is being blown out of proportion.
According to Smart, it is definitely a good thing that so many women are coming out with accusations about their former abusers in the entertainment world right now.
At the same time, however, she believes that the actions against her own husband are going way too far and that the way the story about him is being presented is taking things in the wrong direction, and some boundaries are being crossed.
Oosterhouse was accused by makeup artist Kailey Kaminsky, who claimed that she had been forced into performing oral sex on him during the production of Carter Can.
The story goes further with claims that she had to be hospitalized as a consequence of the incident.
Oosterhouse himself denies that anything inappropriate had taken place, and insists that any sexual interactions between him and Kaminsky had been consensual.
The allegations date back almost a decade, and it is probably going to be impossible to prove either side of the story, but it is evident that the damage to Oosterhouse’s reputation has already been done.
Smart, who was not married to the former model at the time of the alleged misconduct, said: “A lot of the stories are horrific and need to be brought to light. This story, about my husband, Carter Oosterhouse, on the other hand, is now taking it too far and boundaries are being crossed.”
Even though he and those around him insist that he is innocent, many are already suspicious of his involvement in the incident, and the mere fact that the accusations made it to the public seems to have been enough.
