She has Becky Privelege. She has been a star for decades and probably commands a lot more power than someone like Gretchen Mol.

Seattle in the 90's girl here. In our circle it was exactly how you said. There were GVS stories at every party, none of them first-hand but all of them from the mouths of production. I wasn’t sure if it was homophobia or true.

I think you are right and MS is bullshitting. I tried to extend the scenario the benefit of a doubt: could certain actors be so special that they could possibly be cocooned from all such information? Like not only was HW on his best behavior around MS in person, but somehow he managed to shield her from learning…

Actually a crime precedes any NDA. NDA then is null/void.

Because most of those men were probably a bunch of Billy Bushes chuckling away as Weinstein regaled in tales of his “dates.”

Per the reporter that worked on that article that got spiked by the NYT in 2004, they had a full-time staffer they were paying $400,000/ yr whose entire job was covering up and paying off women who had been assaulted by Weinstein just in Europe. The board knew. The entire board knew, and they knew for decades.

“A lot of the allegations are false, as you know but given therapy and couseling as other people have done, I think I’d be able to get there...”

Wow. Written like a true narcissist. What the *Board* is trying to do is “wrong” and maybe “illegal” and “would destroy the company.” The Board. Way to own it, Harvey.

A bit of a digression, but not really. Can we talk more in depth about Meryl Streep’s letter? BULLSHIT she didn’t know. Those rumors have been swirling for YEARS! It seemed like such a ridiculous tactic, “oh I condemn his actions and I swear I didn’t know!” It is one thing if the rumors haven’t hit the blind items and…

There’s the supposed story Ronan Farrow’s been working on for the New Yorker that’s yet to be published. Either he got scooped by Weinstein getting himself fired or it contains something worse that has the board and all of HW’s advisers abandoning ship.

Also, because he is old. They never get them when they are just starting out. It seems to take 2 or 3 decades before this behavior becomes a problem. Right about when the power players are lining up to replace him. (whoever he is)

The Matt Damon account tagged in her tweet has been suspended. Hmm.

The names that need to step up are Clooney and Damon. You want credit for being woke and progressive? Say something, motherfuckers.

Yasss. Did you see she is calling out Matt Damon on twitter?

Just look at Corey Feldman’s experience. He outright states that there is a pedophilia-ring that has a lot of power in LA, but nobody can say anything because of the danger of exposing anyone.

My first instinct here was to think that maybe firing the board was a bridge too far, but if he’s been settling employment-related claims with company funds, the board had to have known about all of it, and approved the expenditures. So, yeah. The board should go. As should the entire HR structure, tbh.

The silence from big HW players is deafening. Where are the condemnations from Tarantino, Affleck and co? So far, Mark Ruffalo is the biggest male star to speak out. Waiting, but not holding my breath, for others to join him.

Reminder - he wasn’t fired because of his behavior. He was fired because the public found out about it.
