I’m proud that during my accounting career in the entertainment industry, I was able to work for some of Hollywood’s most powerful female producers and executives far removed from any of this sleaze.

Too many Child Actors destroy themselves with booze and drugs.
I once thought the destructive behaviour was due to sudden loss of fame and worship.

I now believe it is due to trauma over some creepy adult forcing themselves upon the children.
Other hollyweird types are prolly blackmailed into standing up for silly and illogical political causes

Why are so many men switching to men these days?

Because, Satan.

I feel sorry for the actresses who have refused the casting couch and lost out on jobs.

I submit the women were taking advantage of Harvey.
Every one of them knew the score before they walked into his office or hotel room.
If they say different they are liars.
Everyone knows the about casting room couch. You can bet any aspiring actress is/was well versed in how to get a juicy role.

Their only question is how to make the couch shake more than the last applicant.

If nothing else, at least whoopi goldberg is a strong possibility in agreeing with this assessment, since nothing weinstein did amounted to “rape-rape.”

Seems to me that I recall there being something wrong with a superior expecting sexual favors in return for employment or professional advancement. I recall the left being all up in arms about it, for decades. Think there’s even a law against it. But, all that just flies out the window when a powerful leftist is the one doing it, for some strange reason.

I can see that “the Harve’s” rehab was a total joke.

Bathing in boiling water with lye could not get the rotten stench of Weinstein’s sweat of a persons body.

No lousy easily forgotten movie could replace a person’s self respect.

“it isn’t rape, just old-fashioned prostitution”

Yes but it is the legal kind. Like buying her dinner... or a movie, or letting her live with you rent free.

A subordinate "sleeping one's way to the top," or a manager blocking one's way to the top unless they put out?

What Weinstein has been accused of, at least by some of these women is a lot more than simply sex for advancement.... He’s been accused of flat out forceable rape by more than one person.

Hey, Ben...

What's the difference between holding a knife to a woman's throat while having sex, and holding her career and livelihood hostage while having sex?

Why chase ambulances when you can get a stupid woman to cry rape

Providing Sex in order to not be blacklisted by powerful executives in the top echelon of a small field is blackmail.

Anyone pretending it is not is just another disgusting pervert, as nobody on this forum is really too stupid to understand what was going on.

If he actually raped people he should go to prison and/or be castrated; I find him loathsome. I find people who will do anything for movie roles (and the millions that come with those careers) loathsome as well. I’m tired of being lectured by people who take their clothes off for money.
