I think it’s amazing that you’re able to tackle these difficult topics even in a comedic show. I’m so glad this show has continued on and even better than before.
This is even more powerful around 2:30 when you think about that this scene is shot in front of a live audience. Debra Messing was looking straight into the faces of a few hundred strangers and you can see her eyes darting from face to face. You know she saw recognition and, in that moment, the intensity of the feeling was real.
I hate the scene. I hate pushing the freakish agenda into COMMEDIES! Roseanne will have to come back, soon. But I do appreciate the acting of Debra here. Very sad they made her do this, though.
@@bsxboy you really wanna complain about the "agenda" in a sitcom in which two of the main characters are gay men? The show has been dealing with serious topics like that since they first aired in the 90's, it's not like they're forcing it only now.
I was completely transfixed by this scene. Seeing her Father almost beg to not wanna know to the Daughter just being straight up honest about the entire brutul truth of what happened to her. The way it was played out so low-key made it all the more powerful. The acting was stunning & the message was clear to all. No wonder this is one of my favourite sitcoms ever!
This was such a powerful scene and episode. I loved how at first Grace was not going to re-live that unimaginably painful experience, but then when her Neanderthal father pretended he didn’t want to hear what happened...she said “no, I’m going to say it.” An amazing moment of strength that so many survivors of sexual assault can identify with
This is the very thing that happened to me when I was very young in school and several family friends. I always thought that I would take this to my grave. Never thought I would publicly announce this. But that is the power of an extraordinary show. Please keep talking about real life situations that affects us all. Sometimes it's the only voice we need to make our own come to life.
It also fleshes out Grace’s character so much. Why is she so dependent to a man who can never physically love her, why does she have such a strained relationship with her father, why do all of her relationships end so badly. So much of Grace’s insecurities never made sense to me and were always played for laughs but now you can really see where her character is coming from and it’s not a punchline.
I hate that “it was a different time”. I heard a MAN talk about how he was assaulted when he was an alter boy but said “it was the ‘60s”. I DON’T CARE WHAT YEAR IT WAS.
Happened to me for 3 years more than 20 years ago and when I worked up the courage to tell my mom she didn't believe me and took his side. I've never told anyone else or spoken about it until right now right here.
I'm so sorry for your past trauma and for your mother's betrayal. Is there anyone that you can speak to like a therapist or a trusted friend? I hope one day you can find some semblance of peace about your past. Stay safe and take care.
Don’t waste space commenting over and over. I’m a victim of sexual abuse and it forever alters the way you see the world. Anyone who thinks it is self indulgent crap deserves to be behind bars with all the other assailants.
Brava! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Heartbreaking and powerful. Anyone who is suffering or has ever suffered abuse - please speak out, and do not stop until you are listened to. Abuse is NOT ok.
Yeah, those kinds of memories simply don't go away and as you grow older they actually have a greater impact on you.... I talked to many ppl and we all buried some sort of "creepy" encounters in life, it's actually good to sometimes let it flow out and talk about it, anyways don't feel alone in this, I actually suck at doing encouraging talks but I still thought I'd comment Cuz you are worth it, you're a good person and deserve praise for not falling apart or letting this control you
Happened to me from age 5 to 12. At 9 years old I told my mom. She called me a lier and whipped me for lying. The man, my uncle, told me no one would believe me, which I found out to be true. Doesn't matter your age, the span of time it happened, or "it being different back then", the pain, the humiliation, the name calling, and the lack of trust never goes away. I'm now in my late 60's and I learned to live with it, but the past most definitely affected the way I feel about myself, the hatred and anger I still feel towards myself because I didn't stop other female family members from being assaulted.
I'm so terribly sorry you went through that and weren't taken seriously by those you trusted. It's never to late to see a therapist. Please, for your sake. My mother and her sisters were regularly molested by their father when they were kids. Even though he was taken to jail for it, she lived with those memories. She only saw a therapist twice and very briefly in her early adult life. Therapy was different in the 70s and 80s, meaning it wasn't that great, especially for victims of assault. My mother is now 72 and, even though she's slightly better now, she's remained bitter, untrusting, negative, resentful, and depressed. She's stuck in her ways, so I can't convince her to see someone. She claims it's "too late for that". I tell her that's nonsense, but there's no getting past her walls. So I say to you again: please talk to a professional you connect with. It's definitely helped me.
I have been sexualized by men/boys since the age of 10 when I started developing, people who don't understand what it feels like (or aren't aware) to be assaulted/mentally abused always make fun of it or dismiss it. I've been in situations where people have said the dismissive comments that are always so similar to what is said in this scene. It hurts. And you can't always be the one to hit them with that reality check. But it's good that writers decide to include these types of storylines, because it brings awareness to a larger crowd of people without them having to go look for it.
Wow. Amazing. Thanks for doing this. Up to the second of detail. Y'all could have backed away sooner or lessened the assault and you did not. Thank you for believing the women.
Debra Messing is amazing in this scene. It's difficult and heartbreaking to watch... of course, the tension was broken by the hilarious actress who played the waitress. The balancing act between hilarity and tears was so incredibly calibrated. Kudos to the writers, and to the actors for pulling it off so brilliantly.
this was heartbreaking. even will didn't know about this because it's hinted that the 1 person she told was actually her mom. I love how they're taking these characters and actually doing something with where their stories left off or moving their characters forward. this is not just a reboot, it's an actual continuation. they manage to be the same and yet be fresh. i love this show.
@@lizbryant8347 and what did Bobbi do? Nothing! She hears her daughter was sexually assaulted and did nothing. Didn't even tell her husband?! He obviously kept in touch with the guy and she said nothing?! Please dont fall for this, the writers are cashing in on peoples emotions
@@kristinebautz1859 Perhaps Bobbi did speak to her husband, but he didn't want to hear it, just like how he tried to shut Grace down in this scene. It would have been a very different time then as well. There was very little that could have been done about accusations like these without more evidence than what a young girl said. Harry would have doubtless denied it.
@@kristinebautz1859, they also thought that it was funny to have the waitress come in and tell them about the shrimp salad when they were in clear agony. There is nothing funny about what happened.
@@kristinebautz1859 When I told my mom what had happened to me in highschool, she asked me what I wanted to do. She offered to call the police and I told her no. it's possible that because it was her father's friend she told her mom not to say anything to him. The full story isn't always going to be what you might expect
I love his season and how we can hear about these new revelations about will and grace and the cast. It makes much more sense how their character developments are now.
This hole restaurant scene (you gotta see the entire episode to know what I'm talking about...) was ONE OF THE BEST scene from Debra Messing!!! So intense, real, heartwarming/heartbreaking and emotional.. And with the funny waitress.. it was just the perfect touch to add to make you laugh and cry at the same time.. Bless you Will & Grace! May you be with us for another 10 years!!
@@kristinebautz1859 I think you took what I said the wrong way so let me try to explain myself a little better. I do not think sexual assault of a 15 year old is funny in any way. However this is a comedy show if they kept it monotone and sad throughout the whole altercation this will turn into a drama.Thursday night's I want to laugh that's why I tune into Will & Grace. If my comment about the punchline at the end of the scene offended you I do apologize but just know that I do not feel that rape is funny
@@derrickelliott3874 sorry if I came off wrong. This episode did make me angry. Unfortunately I've been through this at age 8 and am now starting to heal. I dont think will and grace should have handled this subject. It felt forced and apart of moving the metoo movement instead of something genuine. The comedy mixed in is too awkward imo. Especially when they have the drag queen waitress constantly hitting on Will in between each scene. It mixes the message. It's a terribly dark subject and shouldnt be on a comedy show or if so, done responsibly. Like in all in the family where the wife is robbed and assaulted. Family ties tried their hand in it but again the comedy came off awkward with the canned laughter when a little boy was drugged.
I totally can relate to this. Something happened to me when I was kid and our family driver back then. I was 10 years old. And I havent told my parents yet.
I found amazing how they can show such a heavy concept and permorming it in a graceful (no pun intended) way, and still adding a joke at the end that doesn't ruin the meaning of the scene
And yet some didn't like it... What? You just want to sit and laugh? Wake up people!! Sadly this is the world we're living in, we need to change.. Bravo love them!
At 2:34, I was surprised that neither Grace or her father wasn't like 'Patty, walk away, please, this is not the time. We will call you when we are ready for the check, thank you.' I would've said that right there.
Wow. She expressed those emotions like any me too would. Nice way to talk about issues today. Was hard to watch that's how deep she went in her emotions. Award to Grace. 😥😢this had me shed tears for anyone who's had to experience a sexual assault.
I actually remember the character harry from earlier seasons when karen is trying to hit on him but he was trying to hit on grace. They tried to do this story back then, but obviously had limits. Well done debra for an awesome performance.
sometimes I hate when they make a joke right after they say something deep. It's almost like the network is trying to not piss "them" off. the joke at the end wasn't needed.
Damn. I'm a straight guy and I've been a fan of Will and Grace since the original series was on the air. This show is usually so lighthearted. There's never been an episode this dark.
Will & Grace - always a good alternative on TV. I´ve been watching it for so long... I used to record it on VHS and my friends came over on Saturdays to watch Will, Grace, Jack and Karen. There was always a chocolate cake. Later, I bought the series on DVD... of course! Thanks a lot to all the people involved with the show. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
I am astounded as to how the revived W & G tv sitcom is able to effortlessly straddle comedy and bathos. One moment you are laughing and the next moment your heart is broken....bravo to the writers and to the actors who deliver the lines with the appropriate urgency and gravity it needs. To hear Grace’s pour out her pain and raw wounds to her Dad (Kevin Kline) was gut-wrenching. She has such good control. I was a mess watching that diner scene.
Wow! That’s how it was and is. They prey on the vulnerable and some like to prey on the non vulnerable because that is what they do. Some people don’t want to believe their friend is a s@xual harasser or r@pist but that does not change the facts.
We should play this on schools, workplaces, billboards. We should freaking play this everywhere for people to see, to know, to understand that there is a problem and that we need to tackle it down!! Nothing but respect to my president! 👏👏👏 (a.k.a. Grace Adler ... a.k.a. Debra Messing)
Thank you for this. Its not always about confronting the person who abused you. Sometimes it's about not letting the people around the abuser brush it under the rug. Especially when they are your parent. This video made me a little brave today. Thank you
The last two episodes have covered territory not hit since the fallout when they were going to have a baby together. Very "Norman Lear" at times. I love it!
This scene was really intense for a sitcom, for real. I am glad they discussed this topic on this show. The first time I saw this episode, I was shocked that that happened to her at the young age of 15 years old, OMG. That was crazy!
She was good in the scene. I can't relate to the supposed reaction of the dad. Very un-Dad-like. A dad might get very angry. He might express disbelief. He might get sick. A dad might stumble, and say something stupid. He wouldn't plug his ears about Harry.
They totally ruined the scene with comedy when that moment should have reflected how serious the issue was especially since it happens every day to some poor innocent girl.
Yeah I had the $hit beaten out of me until I was 17. People say "it was a different time". Not only did it invalidate my childhood trauma but excuses the actions of parents who don't know how to parent. Now I'm in therapy at 50 and have been no contact for 14 years
"It WaS a DiFfErEnT tImE" Translation: It was a time where women were expected to be fully subservient to men, unconditionally, regardless if whether or not a man was respectful or not.
What surprises me about this revelation, is that it appears she never told will about this. Maybe he knew and it was never spoken about but then being so close you would think she would of been able to tell him this. If she didn’t I believe it hurt her so bad not even the real love of her life will could know 😢
Honestly it does make sense. traumatic things happen to people and they don't always tell the people closest to them they feel like they're dirty or disgusting even though they shouldn't
The laughter is atrocious. MASH figured out years ago that the laugh track isnt necessary and doesnt belong anywhere near serious moments so why most we still deal with it.

I agree. She did a great job performing this scene.
Woke nonsense
Self indulgent crap

Couldn't agree with you more x
It’s okay. It gets better once you let it out or know that nobody can hurt you anymore.
A+. She’s just Grace again this year. People said she was different or off last year (I didn’t agree), but now there’s no doubt for me; she’s on.
A thousand thumbs up for that one! ;)
I am so glad that the production (and or writers) decided to include this subject! It needs to be talked so much more! Sadly it happened to #MeToo
I'm here for you. Just be happy and keep smiling

Exactly, sexual abuse should never be normalized in any decade, it has always been wrong.
Still no excuse
If me too started in the 60s maybe that monster Harvey Weinstein wouldn't even think of doing the horrific things he did

omg that is some scene... I get chills everytime
I found amazing how they can show such a heavy concept and permorming it in a graceful (no pun intended) way, and still adding a joke at the end that doesn't ruin the meaning of the scene
Many will disagree but I think this scene should get her an award... well acted, well done Debra
She is such an underrated actress. Straight up sobbing over here
every time i see this show i develop more and more respect for the show.....Plz never ever end the show....
thank you will and grace you guys always know how to deal with serious topics

Oh who hasnt.

That laugh they put in with the shrimp salad bit wrecked this scene. There is nothing that could make anything funny at that part.
Eh I laughed. I like unexpected moments
I think Debra Messing's emotions were very genuine. You can just tell.
Will & Grace - always a good alternative on TV. I´ve been watching it for so long... I used to record it on VHS and my friends came over on Saturdays to watch Will, Grace, Jack and Karen. There was always a chocolate cake. Later, I bought the series on DVD... of course! Thanks a lot to all the people involved with the show. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
I am astounded as to how the revived W & G tv sitcom is able to effortlessly straddle comedy and bathos. One moment you are laughing and the next moment your heart is broken....bravo to the writers and to the actors who deliver the lines with the appropriate urgency and gravity it needs.
To hear Grace’s pour out her pain and raw wounds to her Dad (Kevin Kline) was gut-wrenching. She has such good control. I was a mess watching that diner scene.
Wow! That’s how it was and is. They prey on the vulnerable and some like to prey on the non vulnerable because that is what they do.
Some people don’t want to believe their friend is a s@xual harasser or r@pist but that does not change the facts.
great job, Deb. powerful.
We should play this on schools, workplaces, billboards. We should freaking play this everywhere for people to see, to know, to understand that there is a problem and that we need to tackle it down!!
Nothing but respect to my president! 👏👏👏
(a.k.a. Grace Adler ... a.k.a. Debra Messing)
Bravo Debra! And to the writers who bravely wrote this 👏
Kudos to you all for doing this piece. It was well done.
Loved will and grace before and now!!! ❤❤❤
Wow. The acting in this scene is fantastic. I'm speechless
i think we can call it the most serious moment of the show
Debra messing is a fantastic actress
Thank you for this. Its not always about confronting the person who abused you. Sometimes it's about not letting the people around the abuser brush it under the rug. Especially when they are your parent. This video made me a little brave today. Thank you
Give Debra an EMMY!!
Wow! This was painful to watch.
The last two episodes have covered territory not hit since the fallout when they were going to have a baby together. Very "Norman Lear" at times. I love it!
This was good time to show what is going on around now with the pass great actors
This scene was really intense for a sitcom, for real. I am glad they discussed this topic on this show. The first time I saw this episode, I was shocked that that happened to her at the young age of 15 years old, OMG. That was crazy!
🤔 I think I smell an academy award for this performance. Bravo Debra! Bravo writers for bringing this to light! ❤️😘😇👏
You don't smell very well. It could be an Emmy not an Oscar lol
Me too, Aloha from Honolulu Hawaii
She was good in the scene. I can't relate to the supposed reaction of the dad. Very un-Dad-like. A dad might get very angry. He might express disbelief. He might get sick. A dad might stumble, and say something stupid. He wouldn't plug his ears about Harry.
They totally ruined the scene with comedy when that moment should have reflected how serious the issue was especially since it happens every day to some poor innocent girl.
I knew that show used to hit on heart issues but I can't believe they tackled that
Will and grace have a lot of awesome and serious moment this was a heartbreaking and real moment
i love this show.
Yeah I had the $hit beaten out of me until I was 17. People say "it was a different time". Not only did it invalidate my childhood trauma but excuses the actions of parents who don't know how to parent. Now I'm in therapy at 50 and have been no contact for 14 years
If she (Debra Messing) doesn’t get an Emmy Nomination for This next yr- then the academy is crap
"It WaS a DiFfErEnT tImE"
Translation: It was a time where women were expected to be fully subservient to men, unconditionally, regardless if whether or not a man was respectful or not.
What surprises me about this revelation, is that it appears she never told will about this. Maybe he knew and it was never spoken about but then being so close you would think she would of been able to tell him this. If she didn’t I believe it hurt her so bad not even the real love of her life will could know 😢
Honestly it does make sense. traumatic things happen to people and they don't always tell the people closest to them they feel like they're dirty or disgusting even though they shouldn't
One of the best seasons of Will & Grace
Big truth bomb by grace.. Debra messing great performance .. 😎👏
Real talk!!
The laughter is atrocious. MASH figured out years ago that the laugh track isnt necessary and doesnt belong anywhere near serious moments so why most we still deal with it.
Powerful. Well done!
I’m in tears!! 😭
