And tank their careers forever. Sure. Keep on victim-blaming.

I guess I understand the initial impulse to defend the fact that you had no idea that your friend and/or boss was a monster, but I’m not sure if now is the time for one paragraph of support for the victims, and several defending that the only part you knew was that he repeatedly hit on young actresses.
Seriously. I’ve known for a good 10-15 years about this and I have literally no ties to the entertainment industry. It’s been referenced in Vanity Fair, Vogue, and several fashion outlets over the years. All of these people are being disingenuous. At least Clooney had the balls to admit it.
It really sucks about Rose McGowen- I don’t know all the details of how open she was about who attacked her, but some celebrity tweeted today about it being hard to be the first to say something, but take courage, you’d be instantly supported, and I thought, uh, Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd have been saying this for…
As a side note, I love Romola Garai and I am saddened he tried to pull his usual stunts around her, in additional to the untold many other women. She is definitely an actress who had the potential to explode after Emma, Atonement, and The Hour, so one cannot help but wonder how Harvey’s machinations have harmed or…
holy shit CDAN...at first I thought, oh this can’t be real...
I have to say, I was far less offended by Clooney’s statement than Meryl Streep’s...
It’d be nice if one of them leaves a letter detailing everything (names, dates, places, victims, etc) upon their death...maybe to ease their conscience. And I hope they still burn in hell for it.
I assume Singer has made it clear he isn’t going to be shy about naming names if he ever gets booted/arrested. He knows every single pedo in Hollywood, with picture documentation, I guarantee it. So he can corral insane amounts of support to protect himself. He’s the Trojan horse everybody points to while ignoring the…
Clooney’s probably the biggest male star to comment, and his interview perfectly illustrates the misogyny of Hollywood, which I’ll give him credit for recognizing.
Of the men staying silent, I wonder if any of them have similar skeletons in their closets. Especially those that went out of their way to kill the original story from coming out.
Get ‘em Rose.
Reminder - he wasn’t fired because of his behavior. He was fired because the public found out about it.
Really? I’ve been hearing rumors about him for at least five years and I’m not even in their industry. I can see someone thinking he was more of a garden variety creep than the criminal he was revealed to be a couple of days ago but not hearing any allegations about him?
Unless Meryl Streep literally lives in an ivory tower and descends only for film roles, her statement is total BS. Everyone knew. She may not have personally experienced it, I definitely didn’t, but everyone knew about it. Worst kept secret in the industry.
I would argue that best friend is a class of friendship, rather than a single position.
I finds it very hard to believe no one in the Obama camp had a clue. And she won’t have been short other choices/opportunities. I said it was a bizarre move at the time too.
he respects him enough to be producing laura bloom’s project with him right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
20 years later, I still miss Phil Hartman.
I am surprised Weinstein has lingered in Hollywood as long as he has. Several people have been very vocal for years that if Miramax distributed your movie and you were due back-end money, you would NEVER get it. He would bury you in a byzantine accounting system of paperwork and if by chance you found anything, he…
