Harvey Weinstein

Latest news: wife is leaving him. She was probably just waiting for a reason to file.

A boss who hired me early in my career propositioned every woman under the age of 40 and many took him up on it. We didn't tell because we needed our jobs, to our everlasting shame. His career was finally destroyed after he was promoted to another city. Two subordinates sued and we backed them with testimony.

This happens so often. I walked in on someone who was being harassed in a walk in freezer at my college job. I had to fill out paperwork and be interviewed. Glad I walked in when I did.

Good to speak up and out. We simply must.

Oprah was another close friend of Harvey's, so it's surprising we're haven't heard from her. Considering she herself has been violated by a predator, she has got to be appalled. But why the long silence?

She waited to leave when it blew up and became embarrassing for her to stay. She's as bad as all the actors who waited to speak up.

She thinks this will save her brand. Not.
Donna Karan is in the toilet with her.
Shame on them all.

MAtt Damon is a misongynist turd, what are you talking about?

No Meryl Streep is a misogynistic thug. Weinstein made her and she knew.

Nope. Meryl goes all the way back to award winning "Deer Hunter". She predates Harvey. I don't know if she knew or not. And neither do you.

There's knowing and not-knowing, right? For example, I used to work with a guy who was never anything but respectful to me (though I disliked him for his complete incompetence). I'm not a big talker at work beyond work stuff. But gradually over the years, as in several years after I started working with him, I started hearing stories. So-and-so told me that her officemate said that Larlo stared at her breasts. Another woman said she heard through the grapevine that Larlo made inappropriate comments. Someone else said she heard he yelled a lot and harassed female staff. That sort of thing. I never experienced it, never witnessed it, never talked to anyone who admitted experiencing it first-hand, but after a few years it was sort of an atmospheric thing where everyone knew there had been talk, but no one ever made formal allegations. And we are all employment lawyers so you'd think someone would have made allegations, but when it's your job and reputation on the line, it's not so easy.

Meryl predates Harvey and has power in her own right, and likely has had a completely different experience of interacting with him. Also, he seems to go for young vulnerable girls and she hasn't been that for a long time. She'd tell him where to shove it if he tried, and he would know that.

I can well believe that she didn't know for sure, but that she knew the rumors, but perhaps never took any steps to satisfy herself of their truth because -- let's be honest -- most people in this kind of situation don't. People look out for themselves and their immediate friends and that's about it. Particularly in an industry where there are power brokers and knowing someone is the ticket to success.

I would guess that when you haven't had the experience with the person yourself, and you're close and know them on another level, it's easy to close your eyes and ears to rumor and stories and not admit it even to yourself. And then when you can no longer escape, it must be hard to face -- both knowing that your friend did this stuff and it's real, and that you were either willfully blind or knew on some level and ignored it for years.

Yup. Georgina started out as an actress before/towards the end of her acting career. Isn't the rumor that all of his "women" wore her dresses on the red carpet?

Completely agree. What an appalling human being for her to tolerate his predatory behavior with vulnerable women.

Apparently Harvey Weinstein committed a felon when he paid out the settlements, and deducted them on his taxes, as business expenses.

So everyone knew but no one knew? She knew. Everyone who was in the industry knew. It is get ridiculous. People are now just picking their favorite actors and saying they did not know. Everyone knew. It was not a secret.

I always heard Zwelleger blew him for parts. Long ago...
