None of this seems that unreasonable to me.

I’m worried she is going to be punished mightily for it. She’s obviously past giving a fuck (which I admire) but it’s painfully obvious that her careful speech for years is the result of a particularly harsh NDA related to her settlement.

Yeah—this whole story seems like a pretty pointless invasion of someone’s privacy. If the notes that I left for our house-sitter/dog-sitter were ever featured on The View, they would probably seem ridiculous.

The context of these emails seems strange? I would assume a staff member of two fairly well-known celebrities has signed an NDA or should at least know better if they care about maintaining their job than to pass on emails from an employer. And why a comedian would need to read emails about replenishing children’s…

Yes, he could, assuming what we think we know is correct. But as a lawyer, that’s not a case I’d want to litigate. For starters, if indeed there was a rape, that would supersede the NDA. You can’t use NDAs to hide crimes.

After all the horrible shit I see on Twitter day after day (and report), I seriously cannot believe her account was suspended. Well, I guess I can believe it, I’m just amazed that’s our reality.

That’s really just a different form of coercion. The consent there is always iffy. If you wouldn’t sleep with a man just to sleep with him, the consent is lacking in one way or another. It’s all rapey as fuck.

I love everything about her statement. I LOVE that she included a picture of herself at 17 to demonstrate just how disgusting this is. I also love that she is saying this is far and wide and it needs to stop and that we can work together to put an end to this. I think about that last part all of the time. Women are…

And Hollywood is the very worst. Look at who she was talking to- Letterman had multiple affairs with workers where he had all the power. I’m not saying they were coerced, but he abused his position too.

She was so great in Love & Friendship last year.

Goat. This is a societal problem deeper than Weinstein, deeper than Hollywood. Talk to just about any woman you know, and chances are they’ve experienced some form of sexual impropriety. It’s just harder to form a cohesive group to slay a predator when said predator is a rando on the bus who grabs your ass instead of…

Yeah, it seems like Letterman is talking about one thing here (Harvey’s business bullying) and Gwyneth is talking about another (sexual harassment at work), or she’s trying to.

What she wrote about her friend is exactly the reason why it went on for so long. Retaliation and not knowing who to trust.

Tell us again that nobody knew.

I wonder if things are going to get shaken up enough for all the rats to start skittering or if Weinstein will just be the sacrificial goat.

god even talking about him makes her uncomfortable. look at her body language. look at her nervous laughter and her shifting her weight. it breaks my heart. i’ve done that nervous laugh way too many times in my 31 years.

...I had school in the morning...

“Oh, Kate lives to say no to me.”

Really terrible that people just can’t go to work, do an honest job, and be treated fairly and with respect. Men like Weinstein probably hate movies. They just go into the business to be able to pressure beautiful women into having sex with them because the good looking girls wanted nothing to do with them growing up.
