âI havenât seen that  no â the stunned Swank told Fox News at an FX event in Pasadena  Calif. of the report released just minutes earlier about  Paul Haggis   who won consecutive Oscars for screenwriting the Swank-starring "Million Dollar Baby" and writing and directing "Crash."
 Haggis  was named in a civil lawsuit on December 15  2017 by publicist Haleigh Breest  who claimed the married  64-year-old filmmaker raped her on Jan. 31  2013 in a New York City apartment.
The lawsuit spurred three more women to claim sexual assault and harassment by  Haggis .
According to the Associated Press  one of the accusers claimed  Haggis  made  her  perform non-consensual oral sex and then raped  her .
Another accuser said  Haggis  told  her  âI need to be inside  you .â  She  said  she  was able to escape.
They all said  Haggis  first tried to kiss them. In two of the cases  they said  when they fought back   Haggis  escalated  his  aggression.
The new rape accuser said she was a 28-year-old publicist working on a television show being produced by  Haggis  in 1996 when he called to ask to review photos from the show that night in her office.
When  Haggis  arrived  she said  everyone else had left the office for the night and  he  insisted they speak in a back office. She said  Haggis  began kissing her as soon as they walked into the room.
"I just pulled away.  He  was just glaring at me and came at me again. I was really resisting.  He  said to me  'Do you really want to continue working?'" the woman said. "And then  he  really forced  himself  on me. I was just numb. I didn't know what to do."
 Haggis â lawyer told the AP his client is denying the new accusations  saying  âHe didnât rape anybody.â
 Haggis  has also denied Breest's initial rape allegation in a counter-complaint to the lawsuit  and said the accuser and her lawyer had demanded a $9 million payment to avoid legal action  which he characterized as extortion.
Fox News reached out to  Haggis  and Breest but did not receive comment.
 Haggis  is also well-known for being an outspoken critic of Scientology  which  he  left in 2009.  He  is listed as currently directing the film "Lead and Copper."

question:
Itâs not as if fake news in America came into existence alongside the tide known as the Trump presidencyâthe hucksters  foreign propagandists  conspiracy theorists  and fabricators have always been hereâbut if ever there was a year when purposefully misleading or false stories hit their stride  2017 might have been it.  We  were told that an ISIS leader was captured at a US airport  and that Shariah law was instituted in Utah and other states. A study found that 25 million votes for Hillary Clinton were âcompletely fraudulent â and the Las Vegas massacre was carried out by antifa  or ISIS  or the Illuminati  or somehow all three. The lies went on and on  picking up where 2016âs catalogue of nonsense left off. (Remember Hillary Clintonâs child sex trafficking ring run out of a pizzeria  or Sarah Palin banning Muslims from âenteringâ her daughter? How about Alec Baldwin dying  and Trump winning the electoral vote and the popular vote?)
But now  we âre at the dawn of a fresh year  privy to the forces that seek to sow confusion and outrage. Can American society overcome the fake news phenomenon?
Wellâ¦ âThereâs probably a strong case to be made that  we  are chemically addicted to fake news â says  Amy Webb   an author and futurist who founded the Future Today Institute. âWhen youâre seeing your angers and fears and anxieties being validated externally  you get a shot of dopamine.â Thinking about the upcoming year and beyond   she  says   we  may have âa huge problem on  our  hands.â And though the propaganda is coming at  us  from all directionsâfrom Kremlin-backed misinformation campaigns and Twitter troll armies to publicity hounds and political malcontentsâfalling for it  and spreading it  is to some degree our own fault.
In the spring of 2017   Webb  wrote a piece for Mother Jones that detailed not only the manner of 21st-century fake news and the speed with which it travels  but also how we are all accomplices to its proliferation âas we click and repost without considering the storyâs source and its agenda.â  She  noted that the democratization of the internet back in the 1990s meant that âeveryone would get to participate regardless of their agendas.â Information became free and free-flowing. But  problematically  âwe didnât plan ahead as the internet matured â when consumers of information were left to contend with not only âhuman arbiters of factsâ but also code and algorithms that propel certain types of content to the fore  based on our own online behavior. Innocently sharing a cat video put out by Russia Today  a Kremlin-backed propaganda machine that elevates fringe âexpertsâ and attempts to sow distrust  means youâll see a lot more of their content in the future.
Complicating matters more is that in our politicized climate  the term fake news itself came to mean different things to different people. It had a literal meaning that  seemingly overnight  became a hashtag and an epithet to hurl at anything or anyone that one disagrees with. âIf we canât even come to some kind of convergence and talk about something as insidious and as threatening to our future as the spread of misinformationâotherwise known as fake news in the literal senseâthen donât we have sort of a catastrophically huge problem on our hands?â asks  Webb .
As someone who studies current and past trends to try to anticipate what the future may hold   Webb  likes to end these conversations with a reminder that  for however doomed things appear  âWe are not living in the middle of Westworldâthe future has not been preordained. There is something we can do in the year 2018 and beyond  and that is be smarter consumers of news.â
