So let’s see: While still married, Rodriguez starts dating Rose McGowan whom he meets during Grindhouse (distributed by Dimension Films created by Weinstein). Neither of them work a film under Harvey Weinstein again until Rodriguez signs on to Spy Kids 4 on September 25, 2009 for The Weinstein Company. Rodriguez and…

I’d say that your experience is slightly extreme, but not too far out of bounds. Even women who have technically never been raped/ abused/ assaulted have generally been in situations that skated dangerously close to those outcomes and perhaps the women only avoided them because of luck (e.g. someone else enters the…

Most people are saying they heard rumors, but didn’t know anything for sure; by “Grindhouse” at least, they both probably knew for sure about what happened with Rose McGowan, but continued working with Weinstein.

It’s Hollywood, everyone talks. There’s no way people like Quentin Tarrantino didn’t hear many of these crazy stories over the years, even if Harvey didn’t actually force an aspiring actress to give him a massage right in front of QT. Everyone who ever worked with the Weinsteins knew about this, and went along with it…

Hmmmm... huge black guy calls the cops, accuses hollywood exec of sexually assaulting him. Wonder whose side the cops are gonna take in that one...

I’m reading these comments and noticing all the people who said he should name his attacker. And I’m thinking about every single post on the AV Club in living memory about a celebrity who did name their attacker. The Dylan Farrow posts, the Kesha posts, the Casey Affleck posts, hell, even some of the early Bill Cosby…

I dunno if this particular comments section is the right place for this question, but it’s something that always comes to my mind that I’ve never really addressed or answered to my own satisfaction:

Literally EVERY woman that I’ve know with some emotional intimacy has told me a personal story of abuse, assault, or…

Yeah, if this gets to “who knew what and when” Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez might go down.

I’m sorry that happened to you.

He’s not “naming names” because he’s a young(ish) actor currently in a series who wants to keep acting. Who knows how much power and influence this “Hollywood Honcho” still has.

Was waiting for this story to hit, after checking those Twitter trends.

Tarantino isn’t a studio executive.

I wish he’d called the cops, because what he experienced is a crime.

It was Tarantino, wasn’t it? He’s got a thing for black people. Django has a lot of shirtless black men.

As near as I can tell, everyone without daughters thinks sexual assault is perfectly ok.

Does it really take having four daughters to be convinced sex assault is wrong? Was he still on the fence after number three?

Someone needs to cover RoseMcGowan’s tweets about this on the daily. She’s trying the dismantle the system and it’s great.

“In September 2009, Weinstein publicly voiced opposition to efforts to extradite Roman Polanski from Switzerland to the U.S. regarding a 1977 charge that he had drugged and raped a 13-year-old, to which Polanski had pleaded guilty before fleeing the country.^[22] Weinstein, whose company had distributed a film about…

The New Yorker has audio of the Italian actress-model trying to get away from HW and him admitting that he groped her the previous day. It is chilling. And she is a hero of the first order.

I understand why progressives don’t want to believe these allegations against Louis CK (I don’t want to believe them either) but all I can think is, if this was some no-name college student who was alleged to have done this, or a well-known conservative, we wouldn’t be so quick to defend him. Louis is really…
