Harvey Weinstein

[Matlock]

Just finished reading Ronan Farrow's book "Catch and Kill". Really excellent read. Gives a great sense of the power that Weinstein had/has.

Also gives good insights into why many of his victims chose NDA and payment rather than trying to prosecute.

Erra they were happy out to polish his knob when they were being paid millions appearing in his movies.
Pure hypocrites

Agreed. Its long known that opening legs was a way to move up in Hollywood. This is all pure jumping on the bandwagon.

Infamous casting couch long before Weinstein but it's still totally wrong to abuse power like that.

Leaving aside the cases where women felt pressured to have sex with him because he threatened to ruin their careers if they didnt, you know he is accused of rape right?

Hollyweird left him get away with it. Of course there are victims but Hollyweird needs to take long hard look at itself. It’s a fucking cesspit. They do nothing but preach and virtue signal when they are responsible for the me two movement coming into being in the first place.
They are a twisted bunch, let’s not pretend here.

Their idea of doing good is getting fucked up on drink and drugs and siding with terrorists on Twitter.

Sure Weinstein did some awful stuff but are we also going to pretend that it could not be stopped?

They need to do some serious soul searching. Money and fame are not worth putting yourself in that kind of danger.

And everyone knew it was going on and did nothing.

They are all culpable.

See, people are afraid to point that out. The minute you sag it it’s like: “you do know he’s a rapist”

We fucking do.

That doesn’t change the reality of what went on here.

These creeps turned a blind eye. They did the same with the Polanski incident. Whoopi Goldberg even went so far as to say that wasn’t rape, many more of them still support him still,

Ffs like

They are, but not as culpable as him.

In any event, what I was taking issue with was his behaviour being downplayed to " casting couch "

At the start of the 20th century was probably worse !
Certainly nothing being downplayed .
