Harvey Weinstein

Anyone having a go at anyone other than Weinstein here needs to fuck off. The only person at fault in any abuse situation is the abuser. If they don't abuse, nothing happens. There are abusers and their victims, and that's it. That's it. Most people go through their life without sexually abusing people. Don't make excuses for those who choose to do it. Speaking as a former policeman, there's no grey areas here. And anyone who has been abused, it's not their duty to speak out to stop someone being abusive. It's not their "silence" that leads to someone else becoming a victim, it's the fact that some **** is abusing women.

I do hope your police career didn't have loads of people keeping quiet about everything, would make the job impossible.
 


The Sun really outdid itself today. Took the moral high ground about him while taking the moral high ground at the same time by attacking the actresses/luvvies and throwing in the Trump thing calling them hypocrites. Then revelling in the gory details. Then there's no sense of irony in them having a full page pap of Ola from strictly 'showing side boob' :oops:
And a huge pic of Abigail Clancy in a skimpy bikini...and pregnant. :neutral:

Fwiw I read a great book years ago that painted HW as a scary nutter called Down & Dirty Pictures. Made me look out for miramax as a sign to avoid the movie! Not cos he's a Perve but cos he butchered artists work and was a knacker!
 
Funny how all the lasses are coming out now as it's the in thing. If they felt that bad and knew he was a pest why keep quiet?

Hollywood and A list celebrities are corrupt as fuck. How do you think the majority got to the top?

Either fucked someone over or fucked someone higher. Now his names tainted they are all like rats on a sinking ship.

I'm not sticking up for him mind, hope he gets all he deserves but it's pure hypocrisy the media.

He would have pissed somebody higher up off or not complied and they have released his secrets.
 
The only thing needed for evil to thrive is for good people to do nothing ... (or something!)
Has it occurred to you that all the ire turned on people who speak out is one of the reasons why people might not want to speak out?

Next time I see an elderly lady getting beaten up by thugs I can walk on past, safe in the knowledge that the only people to blame are the thugs.
Weinstein's company, and ergo his brother (co-founder with him of the said company) have been aware since at least 2015 of the fact that settlement payments have been made to women and did ... nothing.

I'm with you janie
 
They even joked about how Affleck and Damon were in all Mirmax films and Affleck loved hookers

Makes you think now it wasn't a joke just well it was but a hidden one.

They knew what they meant and we thought they were joking...

Thank you. I am emotionally invested in this subject because, as I have posted several times before, I was the subject of a very nasty assault to which a particular name is given (4 letters, begins with R) when I was 15. It took me 10 years to tell anyone. And mine was just "some bloke", not someone who could make or ruin my career. I fully appreciate my experience gets me hot under the collar and stops me being calm, rational and even-handed about the subject.

Anyone who wanted to call Weinstein out had to deal with this:

I’d watch him shower for a good movie role. I love the outraged actresses that have decided to spill the beans after 10 years, can’t help thinking it’s all publicity is good publicity for the poor darlings.
You clearly have no idea about what it's really like for someone to be trying to stick their cock in your gob without so much as a by your leave.
 
Betraying and setting your gender back in their fight against institutionalised misogyny is a bit ‘shit’, yes.
Get a grip. I love this. You’re on SMB, misogyny central. Why are you on here? If you are so outraged surely you shouldn’t be.

I haven’t seen that much ‘ire’ - mere curiosity perhaps mixed with some cynicism as to why so many people kept schtum but now they’re piling on.

Exactly, all piping up now he's on the downfall put they were piping down when he was up top.
