Re: Decades of Sexual Harassment Accusations Against Harvey Weinstein (New York Times
Bullshit. I'll give both of you a pass that CONTEXT may be confusing since you didn't hear the whole convo the hosts were having about how fucked up Weinstein is based on their working in the business for years.
The comment in no way cast doubt on any particular actresses, and where the fuck did you get it was about G Paltrow? She didn't name names and that was how it should have been handled.
YOU both took the comment and ran with it. You added names where there were none.

Actresses have come forward accusing Weinstein of making sexual advances on them, presumably with the understanding that if they acquiesced he would help their careers.
You may have heard about such arrangements in the movie industry because it has been going on for a hundred years.
Now either every aspiring actress that Harvey preyed upon turned him down, or their were some that accepted his offer.
So, who are those actresses? Nobody knows.
If someone claims to have knowledge that there are high-profile actresses that traded sex for roles, but won't name them, it leads to speculation.
For example, Gwyneth Paltrow made many movies for Mirimax when she was young and won an Oscar for a Mirimax film.
Is she one of the actresses this person is talking about?
Now a suspicious eye can be cast upon every actress that was ever cast in a movie that HW produced. Will each female star of a Mirimax or TWC movie have to come forward and assert that she did not fuck a fat slob to get a break?
That is why the claims of the insider you reference are sexist and degrading. Either reveal the names (and risk the consequences) or shut the fuck up!

Let's not forget, this is only because he got caught and shit's finally come to light - he'd have zero remorse if none of this came out.

So I posted jokingly about this before, but isn't this standard Hollywood casting couch stuff? Hasn't this been going on since the beginning?
Do you think this marks the end of the casting couch era, or will it just be much more subtle for a while?

The New York Daily News has the headline I'm not afraid of you, Harvey and a picture of Ambra Battilana posing seductively next to it, wearing a black bikini and a very shredded jean skirt/shorts falling off her hips.
That's pretty shitty to make the cover story about a victim of sexual assault, and exploit the victim simultaneously.
What's wrong with these people?
Scarlett Johansson groped on the red carpet by some dude:
Then there was this bullshit with Paul Rudd grabbing Eva Mendes as part of a skit, but even if she agreed to it, what kind of message does that send? And Rosario Dawson wasn't having it.

So his wife is divorcing him now.
Reminds me of the Godfather movies when Kay would keep asking Michael
if he was a criminal and he would so no and she'd be all ok if you say so.
Until she couldn't anymore.
No way she didn't know about it.
She was probably afraid of him too.

The thing that kills me is guys like Weinstein don't have to do this shit to begin with. A guy that famous, rich and powerful could just make a few phone calls and get girls interested. Guys like this get off on taking advantage of others.
Edit: Here is the video. Miramax/Disney Exec

It seems like it was about mostly about him having power over these women, and that was what got him off.

I had the news on tonight at a couple different times and Ben Affleck's name is getting just about as much airtime as Harvey Weinstein. I'm calling it now, even though though it may have already been in the air, there's no way he puts on the cape again after this.
