Introduction

The sexual relationships of public figures may be titillating without becoming scandalous. The line as to what constitutes scandalous behavior, indeed, varies among regions and backgrounds. Behavior that would be acceptable or even envied among the Hollywood glitterati, or among college students on break, likely would be completely intolerable in a conservative religious community. Glitterati is a 2004 film directed by Roger Avary assembled from the 70 hours of video footage shot for the European sequence of The Rules of Attraction in October of 2002, after the events of 9/11. ...

As an example, in April 2007, the Hollywood actor Richard Gere caused an unintended row in India when he publicly hugged and kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS awareness event in Delhi. An Indian judge issued a warrant for Gere’s arrest[2], and a small number of right-wing demonstrators burned the actor in effigy[3] There was absolutely no sex involved, but such public displays of affection are taboo to conservative Hindus and Muslims, who see them as akin to sexual groping and therefore obscene. April 2007 is the fourth month of the year. ... ... Richard Tiffany Gere[1] (born August 31, 1949) is an American actor. ...

There has been rapid change in the last 50 years in tolerance of sexual relationships and activities, especially since the invention of the birth control pill and the “Sexual Revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s in the industrialized world. Divorce, which used to be taboo in many societies, is now much more widely accepted. Unmarried cohabitation is also widely accepted in the West today, and premarital sexual experience is assumed, and among some people even encouraged to assure compatibility before marriage. Homosexuality is also increasingly accepted in much of the world, with some jurisdictions in Europe and North America, and scattered locations elsewhere, offering legal recognition and protection to same-sex couples.

Criteria for a Scandal

There are several factors, therefore, in elevating sexual revelations from merely titillating or distasteful (depending on one’s point of view) to being scandalous. The greater the number of these elements that are present, the greater the scandal is likely to be, and the less likely one is to have it forgiven and forgotten without serious personal consequences:

o Arrest: Being taken into police custody for one’s actual, attempted, or proposed sexual conduct. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

o Blackmail: Especially for politicians and business leaders, affairs that could leave one open to extortion. For other uses, see Blackmail (disambiguation). ...

o Cover-ups and abuses of power: Political, religious, and other leaders using their authority to prevent disclosure of misdeeds, intimidate others into silence or into dropping their inquiries, and the like.

o Degrading behavior: Either the act itself (coprophilia, extreme sadomasochism, etc.), or where it takes place (public restrooms and the like). Look up coprophilia in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Flogging demonstration at Folsom Street Fair 2004. ...

o Homosexuality or bisexuality: To some people, homosexuality itself is still viewed as an immoral “choice” and/or an undesirable cultural import, despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. To others, it is scandalous only when the homosexuality or bisexuality has been deliberately concealed or denied for reasons unrelated to personal privacy—for instance, when it evidences hypocrisy. Homosexuality refers to sexual interaction and / or romantic attraction between individuals of the same sex. ... “Bisexual” redirects here. ...

o Hypocrisy: Acting at odds with one’s stated public positions, and/or one’s legal or religious demands of others. Hypocrisy is the act of condemning or calling for the condemnation of another person when the critic is guilty of the act for which he demands that the accused be condemned. ...

o Infidelity: Cheating on one’s spouse or partner where there is an expectation of monogamy. Look up infidelity in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

o Lying to the public: There is a perceived difference between discretion and telling white lies to protect the feelings of one’s family over an illicit affair, and untenable lies and denial when confronted publicly with hard evidence of one’s conduct. A lie is a statement made by someone who believes or suspects it to be false, in the expectation that the hearers may believe it. ...

o Nepotism, or other misuse of one’s position: Use of one’s position to provide unearned jobs, promotions, raises, contracts, favorable regulatory decisions, and the like to one’s romantic or sexual partners. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

o Perjury: Lying under oath to avoid legal liability or public embarrassment. Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. ...

o Promiscuity: Having so many sexual partners, of such indiscrimiate character, as to reflect poorly on one’s judgment and discretion. “Promiscuous” redirects here. ...

o Prostitution: Using or soliciting sex workers, or being a sex worker oneself. Exchanging sex for money, regardless of its prevalence, is still viewed as a social taboo. Whore redirects here. ... A sex worker is anyone who earns their living by providing sexual services. ...

o Recklessness: Exposing oneself or others to physical danger or public humiliation, or endangering one’s career, position, financial standing, and important personal relationships. Recklessness may be: a legal term describing a persons state of mind when allegedly committing a criminal offence: recklessness (criminal) a state of mind in which a persons acts without caring what the consequences may be: recklessness (psychological) This is a disambiguation page: a list of articles associated with...

o Sexual harassment: Use of one’s position of power to obtain sexual favors, or to deny benefits to, or place burdens on, those who refuse sexual favors. Sexual harassment is harassment or unwelcome attention of a sexual nature. ...

o Sexual violence: Rape and incest are obvious; but this can also include extreme forms of consensual “leather” sex that the public finds disturbing and degrading. For the domesticated crop plant called rape, see rapeseed. ...

o Underage partners: Sex by adults with minors is almost universally condemned.

o Lack of remorse: Whatever the scandalous behavior may be, those caught in a sex scandal are expected to be contrite and penitent, at least in public. Those who instead are defiant and unremorseful, or who issue “non-apology apologies,” usually are viewed even more harshly than when the scandal broke, and forgiving and forgetting the sex scandal is unlikely to occur.
