“Charlie Day’s character is constantly sexually harassed and assaulted by his dentist boss, played by Jennifer Aniston. She threatens to tell his fiancée they had sex, using photos she took of her ‘simulating sex’ with him while he was under anesthesia.”
“The movie flips between joking about his situation and portraying it as a sincere issue, but the ending culminates in him getting definitive proof of her harassing/blackmailing him. It’s an empowering scene for victims of sexual harassment and assault, but then they ruined it in Horrible Bosses 2.
In the sequel, Day’s character is shot and unconscious in the hospital, whereupon Aniston’s character rapes him and tells him when he wakes up. Oh, but it’s ‘all okay now’ because she got what she wanted, so she’s no longer interested in him anymore — he’s ‘safe’ from her advances now.”
