it will be interesting to see how this all falls out, with the Weinstein sexual harassment scandal, will it change Hollywood for the best. Hope they begin to make better pictures. I hope that is the case, but who knows.
Still waiting for any actual charges to be brought against Weinstein.

He did everything but physically restrain her.
So she had every opportunity to leave the vicinity.
And why was she scared to leave him? Cos he's a ruthless sex trafficker that threatens women with violence?
No.
Cos she was afraid she wouldn't get whatever opportunity in the business Harvey had on offer for her should she maintain their 'friendship'.
You're not going to convince intelligent, rational adults that these women are truly victims. Noone is forcing them to go to Hollywood to become an actress or whatever. Are Harvey's methods sleazy? Heck, yes, but he has done nothing illegal.

You dont have to be a ruthless sex trafficker to be reprehensible.
no it wont, everyone is saying "they knew" that means there are motherfuckers like Tarantino and many others who witness this, helped make it happen and felt nothing doing so, this shit is done by everyone i bet, Weinstein just crossed the wrong guy in his tribe and got sidelined, we are not entering into some golden age of civility, this guy and maybe couple more will be tossed under the bus, obviously without any real world consequence to their actions, then after a while its business as usual
Apparently that's the bar for a sexual crime for some sherdoggers.
Wait so we're supposed to stop the second a woman says no? What if I only speak Spanish? This is all so confused.

All of them,knew, clooney and damon just admit they knew he was a womanizer, but claim they never knew to what extent, i call bs they used to vacation with this guy, and he probably shared stories and boasted to them How he got an actress to blow himjust looking at him you know the guy is an asshole - not surprising that this is coming to light.
I wonder how much those close to him knew about this and kept quiet about it.
Do you think the wife is just as guilty as the movie industry peeps? It seems very convenient that she she is now washing her hands of it.All of them,knew, clooney and damon just admit they knew he was a womanizer, but claim they never knew to what extent, i call bs they used to vacation with this guy, and he probably shared stories and boasted to them How he got an actress to blow him
yeah she is guilty, she is a gold digger, I mean look at him and look at her, she knew he was a pig and just wanted a kid this why she is leaving him now and not standing by him she got her opportunity to leave and the judge will easily without question and hassle grant her some of his fortune, I heard in extreme situations like this the judge can overturn a prenup. Plus he has two kids with her. She is going to be sitting pretty for at a long time.Do you think the wife is just as guilty as the movie industry peeps?

I could be wrong - maybe she was that oblivious.
I ask because she was benefitting from his power and prestige.

They are Saving face now, its why its so fishy. They just ignored it or even laughed about until now when shit finally hit the fan and the truth came out. They finally decide after all these years of knowing to say something and help protect the women? Are you buying that i aint
The frustrating part of this, to me, is when you compare how this is getting handled to how the Penn State scandal was handled.
At PSU, Jerry Sandusky molested a lot of young men, and he deserves life in prison or execution, depending on your views. But then they went after the rest of the athletic department because "they might have known" or "should have known." Those people, such as Joe Paterno, were crucified for what happened there. His records were all thrown out, the players (who had nothing to do with it) lost their scholarships, and PSU couldn't offer any scholarships to other players. Basically, they went all scorched earth on it.
Now, in Hollywood, it's obvious that a lot of people knew. Seth McFarlane even made jokes about it in public. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon apparently knew for sure, having said that they wished that Harvey had quit doing that stuff. So what happens to all those people? How are they held accountable at all for definitely knowing that crimes are being committed? How is the problem allowed to get so bad that casting couches, legit rapists, and pedophiles are allowed to get away with all of it? Where is the relative justice for the victims and society? It's such a bullshit double-standard.
Of course they all knew. Like I said in the War Room thread, Harvey being a shitbag is old news in the music world. Harvey was a concert promoter before he was in the movie biz. You think he only started getting blowjobs from dime store whores with stars in their eyes when he rolled out to Hollywood? Where do you think he learned the game? As bad as Hollywood is, it's nowhere close to being as bad or as shady as the music business was back in the day.
For fuck's sake, Steven Tyler convinced two parents to give him guardianship over their daughter so he can live with her, bang her and snort blow without having to worry about getting popped for statutory rape. Ted Nugent did the same thing a few years later. Jimmy Page locked a 14 year old sex slave up in his house for three years. Motherfucking Don Henley got caught with two girls at his house that he drugged up and was actually convicted for "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". Bill Aucoin? Lou Pearlman? Pretty much every A&R guy who worked with female talent?
No doubt Harv's a shitbag, but at least he didn't own a string of nightclubs in LA (including the Starwood) where if you were a woman looking to jump start your music career you'd have to lick the owner's asshole clean after he took a shit.
And just like music, nothing is gonna change in Hollywood either. There will always be desperate people willing to do anything to get famous.
