Three women claim Halperin, while fully clothed, pressed his erection against their bodies without their consent.

Can they distance themselves from being a movie about abused Native American women that stars a bunch of white people?

I dunno, this project might gain more traction if it weren’t being helmed by someone who’s a sexual predator himself.

Every job I ever had to sign an NDA for, it was a guarantee you were going to be treated like shit.

It’s not awful to think or say those things. Yes, it is important that women are telling their stories, and it’s important that people are listening. But the point of the telling isn’t to traumatize those who have also been victimized. I guess what I’m saying is that no one expects you to take all of those stories on…

You know, as an employment lawyer, I recall that the EEOC takes the position that such clauses are not enforceable - when it comes to Title VII discrimination/harassment charges. Doesn’t mean that the silencer can sue and get a judgment against the silence-ee, but you have to wonder if public policy might not make the…

As someone who has never even seen an NDA up close, I’m starting to wonder if Hollywood and some of Trumps offices have these things on the wall inside of towel dispensers?

“A lot of my friends from the punk scene had also been taken advantage of by much older men, so to me, it was a situation that had been normalized.” *Heartbreaking.

The momentum that’s been created recently by the many courageous women who have opened up about their own stories has inspired me to finally be more direct, at whatever cost.

What upsets me about Weinstein and Richardson’s stories is that they got to spend their careers getting big and making money while everyone knew they were rapists and mysogynists, and only had some consequences when their power and careers already started to wane. I heard on NPR the other day that one of the reasons…

At what adult age would this behaviour be OK? ‘Cos I’m thinking none.

The investigation opened by the NY AG against the Weinstein Company is probably going to have the most impact because this goes straight to the heart of the problem - the enablers. And it’s against the company, not the individual. I really HOPE this tips the scales very heavily toward companies taking this more…

People still make movies with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.

There was a huge, huge, HUGE call to boycott Terry Richardson maybe five years ago, prompted by warnings and stories from quite a few of his models. A lot of media outlets agreed that he was a predator and a monster but evidently Condé Nast was like, “We’re good.”

I know Terry Richardson and the others who’ve been fired for being alleged predators are just a drop in the ocean. I know companies are only taking a stand because people are paying attention. I know this level of interest is temporary and Condé Nast, etc will soon go back to not giving a crap. But I also know I’m not…

Seeing the actual repercussions for the Weinstein company, other high profile firings, and realizing that he was actually far more replaceable than either a part owner or the top chef and the many many accusations against him were rock solid and they’d look even worse if they didn’t make a move.

I’m sure the last straw was the Weinstein situation. They realized it was a bad look they were still working with him even though he’s been a known disgusting for years. So now they’re trying to cover their asses before sites are turned back onto him.

Realizing they might face some consequences. Nothing that could have happened to the women would have mattered.
