Yeah, as someone who has been in a situation of being able to rat out a brother as a criminal, it’s just not an easy thing to do. 

Also, his entirely livelihood was wrapped up in Harvey’s success. And it’s his brother. In a perfect world, a guy would rat out his own brother, thereby sacrificing his professional career. In the real world, that’s easy to tell someone else to do. 

It’s a scandal that brought down one of the most powerful men in Hollywood and started a wide-ranging movement to fight sexual harassment, it would be weird if they didn’t.

i feel there is a lot of ‘in hindsight’ in this story: Bob obviously knew, which in hindsight makes him part of the problem of cover-ups.

Whole Weinstein Family is Shit, Says New Book

It can be that, or it could be what an abusive partner would do to try to control the narrative and force continued contact with her. We’ll see what alleged evidence he has disputing her account.

I watched that terrifying video of him drunkenly pouring wine, yelling, slamming cupboard doors and that was plenty. And what was even more heart-breaking was that the video engendered replies like “my dad was worse” or “you call that abuse?” from commenters who must have experienced true horrors (bad enough) but that…

I hope they are paying you well, and your not just interning for school credit or “experience”.

How awful of feminists to want a woman in office who would use that power to advance the feminist agenda instead of sabotage it!  So hypocritical! 

Ugh some of these comments... smh. Johnny Depp will be just fine.... he needs to move the fuck on, it’s like he still needs to have control over her and he’s doing it through lawsuits. 

NPD, covert subtype. People with this personality disorder rewrite their history and memories in their own head until they believe their own idealized version of reality. He honestly feels like the wronged party because this type of abuser sees themself as abused when they don’t get the obedience they believe they’re…

I’ll never forget back in 2008 getting into an argument with a dude who believed he caught liberals in a deep gotcha moment over Sarah Palin. His argument was essentially:

Women attack her relentlessly because she’s a bigoted, racist, anti-feminist, anti-American, anti-journalism partisan hack who shouldn’t have ever held the position of WH press secretary. As you said, she can go fuck herself.

And I find that very startling from a group of people that claim to be the champions of women empowerment.

sarah believes being a woman trumps being a monster.

He’s in trouble on multiple fronts and I cannot for the life of me figure out why he decided to file suit and draw attention to himself like this. It only brings up the abuse allegations again and then leads down a rabbit hole where you learn or are reminded that he’s in trouble for fraud, he’s recently attacked crew…

Also didn’t Sid basically murder Nancy but that was kinda romanticised away as a folie à deux, so it’s not even really that much of a hot take/witty quip anyway?

Sid killed Nancy, though.

I’m not sure that’s fair. I’ve yet to hear anything that puts Amber Heard on the level of abuse that equals or even is a small percentage of what is alleged by her against Depp.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is built entirely on Depp’s back. Those movies are still being made. He has not “lost roles” and in fact he has the vocal support of one of the most powerful storytellers alive right now (Rowling, in those awful Grindelwald movies). What a crock of shit, I hate him so much.
