Harvey Weinstein

[Pop]

It's not a competition, but I think Trump will be remembered as a bigger kernt than all others combined.
At least Bill Clinton presided over economic stability and helped with the Peace Process in Norn Irn

When you've got Emma Thompson coming out and saying it was known that Weinstein was a predator it makes a mockery of all the luvvies slating Trump when they were all pandering to this known abuser.

Just so we are clear, are you really excusing people doing bad things as long as they do some good?

 

[The Spezial One]

The casting couch is coming home to roost, watch others come out, but I’d say some of the women knew exactly what they were doing.

Sex to benefit a career and rape are not the same thing.

Not at all, but at least, Bill apologised for his piss poor behaviour and abuse of office.
I say abuse of office. Monica was up for what was going on there.

I don't think they were all pandering to HW. The point that many have been saying is that even if they had said anything they wouldn't have been believed.
Sound a bit like Saville to me. Albeit not with kids, but a similar abuse of power and status

I think had anyone come out with those type of accusations, especially in the none to distant past, then their hopes of finding work in Hollywood would have been severely reduced.

Then they allowed themselves to be allegedly assaulted or raped in exchange for a career? Fair swap?

Correct, 100%, so after rape, report it, not star in filums, attend awards etc?

What Clinton did was/is not acceptable, doesn't matter if Lewinski was up for it or not.

Weinstein has been thanked personally in over 30 Oscars acceptance speeches, Meryl Streep referred to him as a God. Is that not pandering in your book?

They gave a convicted rapist a standing ovation at the 2003 oscars, they are hypocrites.

 

[Royal 8er]

That some on here are apologists for powerful people who feed on the weakness of others is an utter disgrace.
This holier than thou crap these hypocrites spout just showcases their crassness.

Im not passing judgement on anyone whom was in that situation, that'd be daft.

 

[Keawyeds]

It's a shame that LA Confidential type activities still happen today.
That's the thing though - big execs commanding to see people before casting them etc - money talks.

For every execs pushing sex for roles, there are females offering sex to get roles, Hollywood is fooked on that account.

Wouldn't have happened if the holier than thou brigade weren't more interested in feathering their own nests.

 

[Leon Solent]

Regardless of what he has or hasn't done I found it a bit distasteful that Meryl Streep has jumped on this story for a bit free publicity.

Like the other luvvies, she waited 3 days to see which way the wind was blowing before speaking up. Keep a lid on things until they may involve themselves personally then surface with faux horror. They're all "career first" hypocrites whose opinions on world matters counts for nothing. The list of them is endless.

I think it's easier to say that than know how you'd cope with a situation you weren't sure how to deal with.

Give over.

Is your habit of posting only in question format incredibly annoying?

yes it is.

So unless your own life is perfect you arent allowed to say anything someone else does is unacceptable, otherwise you are a hypocrite?

No, they are hypocrites as they are quick to jump on the latest bandwagons (Trump) but don't say anything when one of their own does/has done something abhorrent.

I feel there is a difference.

People failing to spread dark rumours about a film producer should not exempt them from being allowed to give their opinion on proven, public admissions of molestation from a person seeking public office, especially an extremely high office. I think it hugely stretches the imagination to see them as the same.

This is exactly why I take no notice of these Hollywood types when they speak about politics and social issues. Bunch of hypocrites.

George Clooney, Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep etc going on about women's rights etc while at the same time cosying up to sexual predators like Weinstein (and there will be plenty more like him in Hollywood). Matt Damon and Russell Crowe putting pressure on a journalist to kill a story about Weinstein over a decade ago, the New York Times pulling a story on him because his company are one of their biggest advertisers, the (((creator of SNL))) saying they didn't make jokes about (((Weinstein))) on the latest episode because he's from New York despite them slating Trump every week who is also from New York...doesn't take a genius to work out the real reason.

Hollywood and the media over there are completely rigged by mostly the same people, that's why I don't believe a word from MSM. Absolute hypocrites and degenerates.

 

[Nipple Salad]

Isn't the issue here more that Harvey has been perving on actresses since he and his brother set up the company?
And to that, women haven't spoken up because they didn't think people would believe them.



Trump is a kernt who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. Shush Pop.

Talking about something and doing it are two different things, Fatty Weinstein actually did it yet Meryl Streep doesn't seem as eager to condemn him as she did The Donald.

Interestingly Emma Thompson tore a strip off Weinstein and threatened to leave when he upset another actress. Good on her.
