I am glad James Van Der Beek is speaking out, a united front against this type of shit is the only thing that will help. Who do we think did it to James? I am thinking Bryan Singer...

The only part about all of this I find even remotely surprising is that Weinstein clearly thinks that he’s on track for a comeback.

I’m not doing OK, but I’m trying. I gotta get help guys.

I think I’ll be angry about this time for the rest of my life.

I am still ill over it. It hurts my heart and I can never think of my country the same again.

I was just talking about this with my bf today. Trump’s election said to sexual assault survivors like myself: You don’t matter. You are nothing. It hurt so bad, and still does.

I’m sorry. I dont know what to say. No words for it.

That exchange between Hilarie and Shanice gives me life even as it makes me want to cry.

Wendy Williams is a trifling ass trick whose own home in in disarray. The end.

From the statements I’ve heard from his victims it really does sound like he really gets off on seeing these women scared and uncomfortable, that he enjoys watching them squirm and then crack. It is 100% a power thing with him and it is disgusting.

This also throws an even shadier light on Clooney given that he and Pitt are bffs - how could Clooney NOT have known about Weinstein, come ON George!!!

I literally just spoke up. About 15 minutes ago.

Precisely. Reactions to a story like this set a precedent. If women are believed, more women will feel comfortable coming forward when it happens to them. However, and how it usually goes, if women are blamed, it impacts how everyday people react when it happens to them. They think, “If these Hollywood stars aren’t…

I have a worse story, from a similar age. I was scared, and I realize now that isn’t an excuse. It has haunted me for a decade, I still have nightmares, I’m still terrified of men in groups.

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…

That audio is so so icky. It immediately made me tense up and get anxious. Because most of us have been there. Not in that exact situation, but in a position where we’re uncomfortable and scared and having no idea how to proceed when confronted with someone who is more powerful in every way. The questions in your head…

As you say, these men are running the world. What good does it do to speak up, in most cases?

This is heartbreaking. I hate the narrative of “well why didn’t you just go to the police right when it happened?” that people always use to discredit accusers. There are SO MANY REASONS why someone doesn’t go ahead- fear, fucking PTSD and an inability to recount the events because of trauma, FEAR, isolation, no…

First, I’m going to say that I 100% agree that Clooney should have been concerned from the start about Weinstein seeking out “relationships” (we know it was more than that and he was harassing and assaulting them) with young actresses. It’s an unfair power balance from the start and it shouldn’t be the norm in…

That’s why Meryl Streep’s ‘I had no idea’ statement gave me pause. I know that there is a massive, horrible power imbalance in the industry. But I’ve heard it, you’ve heard it, and Rose McGowan and Asia Argento (among others) have been saying it loudly for years.
