Unless it’s Santa or Jesus.

If you ask her, she’ll probably tell you that she doesn’t even see color.

Oh my god, Jujy. You can’t just ask someone why they’re in Dubai!

THIS. The “apology” is such bull shit. “I didn’t mean they were asking for it but they were totally asking for it” and “he has kids and a foundation so he couldn’t possibly be a bad guy”. I WANT TO RAGE. Why are women so fucking shitty to other women to defend asshole men?? The fuck is wrong with us??

He also appeared in Inglorious Basterds while he was with Jolie. How many of his significant others have to be harassed before he won’t work with someone, because apparently that number is higher than 2.

So you speak up, get fired, get your story brushed under the rug, and absolutely nothing is accomplished except you’re out of a job and possibly blackballed, depending on your industry.

I have a hard time believing you are a woman.

I was just thinking about that. Many of the woman who have come forward waited until they were older and won’t have to pay a steep price career wise. (Because Hollywood only values women of a certain age, of course). With little to lose why not try to take the fucker down? Now that they’re older and they’re household…

The ones who do speak up or make it clear they don’t like these creepy men just start to lose their careers and with them their public platform. And then anyone who does come forward can easily be made to look bitter, deluded, or in search of money/attention. I’m still not certain what made a difference in this case.…

Well, it sounded like some of these people did tell their agents, and some employees spoke to higher ups at the company. And nothing happened.

Especially in the non-rape/non-nudity cases, I can see there being a deep feeling of freezing up and personal shame, and wondering if you misconstrued things. It happens all of the time.

Also, Weinstein had powerful lawyers and PR specialists who could make their lives a living hell, for some women, it wasn’t worth it. And then one woman went to the police and the DA didn’t file charges after Weinstein’s attorney bribed him. What do you expect them to do?

Exactly. And you have to wonder if Roseanna feared not only the repercussions against her, but if he would lash out against her entire family.

Yup, and every single woman on this list will be attacked in some way for speaking publicly.

We need to believe people when they do speak up. The consequences for speaking up fall so often on the victim-they may lose their career or reputation. Even in this case, where there is no shadow of a doubt that Harvey Weinstein is a predator, these women who are speaking out will find themselves attacked. That is…

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

Women did speak up, at the time. One Italian actress went to the police and he admitted it to the prosecutor and it was still buried. As was said here a memo was circulated about his behavior.

This is basically a useless thought experiment, but I’ve often wondered how men would behave if there was some third human gender that was substantially larger than men, could easily physically overpower them, held the levers of power, etc. Privilege means never having to contemplate being in that position.

If they did, more power to them, no? Whether it’s a calculated risk for more money on a new contract under Discovery or getting back to a better work/life balance, both are “wins”.

I for one would like them to get a viking funeral and for Home and Gardens TV to replace them with an actual fucking gardening show.
