but the Star article is pretty damning. They spoke with 3 women, and I doubt they would publish unless they were absolutely sure of their sources. And if this stuff is true, the CBC had no choice but to can him.
...
In one womans case, she visited Ghomeshi at his Toronto home and alleges as soon as she walked into his house he suddenly struck her hard with his open hand, then continued to hit her and choked her. The woman alleges Ghomeshi repeatedly beat her about the head and choked her.
The Stars interviews of the women were lengthy. The women, all educated and employed, said Ghomeshis actions shocked them.
Another woman, who described a similar alleged attack, said that in the lead-up to their date Ghomeshi warned me he would be aggressive.
I thought this meant he would want to pull my hair and have rough sex. He reassured me that I wouldnt be forced. (Later) he attacked me. Choked me. Hit me like I didnt know men hit women. I submitted.

Ages ago, I read the blog piece by the young woman who had the date with "Keith" that everyone guessed was Ghomeshi, and ever since then he gave me the willies.
