"I’ve been banned from @Equinox for Life. They were really excited to tell me that."

BREAKING: Judge Arthur Engoron Tells James O’Keefe on hidden camera inside his Gym he gets “lots of hate mail” but he’s “strong”.
An insider where the Judge works out at Equinox in Great Neck, NY, also recorded Judge Engoron “creeping girls out.” Sources say Engoron does this “every visit” each morning. The video shows a woman using a machine clearly annoyed and gesturing with her hands for him to ‘back off.’
A gym member and supporter of OMG responded to O’Keefe’s question inside the gum, “What time does the Judge get here?” Answering “5:30 AM.”
Uhh yeah? It shows the dudes a fucking sexual creep. From a strategic standpoint any woman who supports him now supports his behaviour in the gym.
I have an opinion on the assertion that Engoron was giving unwanted attention to that woman in the clip. To my eyes, we see Engoron standing in front of a woman who is sitting on a piece of exercise equipment. They appear to be talking. Since we cannot hear their dialogue, there is no proof anything untoward was happening. Looking at body language alone, he did nothing wrong. No getting too close or leaning in or behaving in any way odd. She also did not show upset behavior. Her posture did not react as if she was being accosted. She is not leaning back away from him, acting agitated, or showing any body language of being intruded upon. Her raising her hand at the end could mean a lot of things, even just, "See ya." as he walked away.
I'm not convinced that particular clip confirms anything, really.
She wasn't raising her hand, clearly she's motioning for him to take a step back.
Maybe. But maybe she was reacting to a story he was sharing. FWIW, I use my hands a lot without realizing it. I tried to think of things that would trigger the 'hand up' response. For instance I would hold my hand up for these:
"Oh you gotta me kidding me!"
"Don't talk about Trump like that. I'm not on your side!"
"OK, hold up. That's crazy."
"Stop! That's too funny.
"Wait! Don't tell me the spoiler"
What was missing was any body language from either of them reflecting an act of sexual aggression or revulsion. Neither of them showed anything but normal body movements. That's why I think it was just normal conversation.
Maybe not top grade journalism as we are used to with OMG, but in my opinion this has two modes. Work mode and creep mode.
