Always look forward to reading her pieces, even when they are infuriating. Great research and analysis matters, no matter how the tl;dr types want to simplify it down to nothing.

Diana, your coverage of the Cosby Nightmare has been excellent. I hope they are paying you well, both in cash and in wine.
Maybe you don’t mingle with any of those people, maybe you never had, but the chances are slim. I like to think I don’t but the truth is that I do whether I like it or not. Sometimes we need to really think about if our friends/coworkers really do respect others on a basic level. I know a lot of my coworkers make off…
Respectfully, I have to push back on “It won’t do a damn bit of good.” Pressure, criticism, and condemnation from your peers is a hell of a lot different than something as remote and idea-driven as a presidential election. I mean, that’s how this starts. Person to person, one conversation at a time, one dropped…
Ummm, he filmed it in black and white. So, Art.
The timing of this is seriously revolting and to end the trailer on that particular line is vomit worthy. Louis C.K. knows exactly what he doing here and is hiding in plain sight. Hope his takedown is next.
Louis CK in regards to sex reminds me of Chris Rock’s material (pre-divorce) on marriage: methinks the lady doth protest too much.
I can’t think of worse timing for a release about the sexual shadiness of a filmmaker, done by someone who has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, during a time rife with sexual misconduct throughout the entertainment industry.
This whole thing screams of Louis CK trying to control the narrative w/r/t his own sexual assault allegations. Very very gross.
Actually, though I’m a pessimist that it will get done, I don’t agree that it can’t be done - at least in many cases. Some of the men abusing/harassing/assaulting women are powerful or sociopathic or so sure of the rightness of their actions that their behavior cannot be changed. But this is decidedly NOT the…
“I would like, though, for the men in my life to actually sit with the conversation at hand and stop thinking about how it affects them and whether they’re on trial. I would like for them—even, perhaps especially, the good ones—to allow their worldview to be disrupted, and to think about the ways they’ve affected the…
Thing is ... they didn’t kick out Roman Polanski. Or Mel Gibson.
“So what is the “Shitty Media Men” list for? Is it for justice or for catharsis? As it stands, it provides neither. If women who have been sexually harassed or abused want justice, they should pursue judicial channels. If the incident is criminal, they should report it to the police; if it’s something that occurs at…
Don’t get hung up of the fact that he’s physically repulsive. If he looked like Clooney would people somehow think what he’s done is not as bad? I was charmed by a guy who I would say is pretty objectively not attractive, but when we were dating and I was falling for him I was attracted to him because he charmed me…
Putting aside the sexual abusiveness that has come to light, coercing his female stars into wearing his wife’s dresses is something she definitely knew about.
It was an “open secret” that Weinstein was a serial abuser and wasn’t even coy about it. Of course she knew. She’s the white Camille Cosby. But I’m sure she married Jabba the Hutt for love...
I’m feeling ambivalent about this. On one hand, I hate to see women held accountable for men’s bad behavior, but on the other hand, she used his power to advance herself and, I mean, she knew, right? But! Maybe she didn’t. Abusers are good at only showing certain sides of themselves to certain people.
Ok so what we not gonna do is pretend that she has “fans on insta”. LEA WHY DID YOU CREATE A BURNER KINJA JUST BE TRUE TO URSELF
What a massive crock of shit
