[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's fired and many more women coming forward.[b] The men that have stood by and let this greedy,  sex abuser thrive all these years should feel shame.[/b] [/quote]

There were plenty of women too. They should be doubly ashamed.[/quote]

Anjelilina Jolie said he harassed her and she tried warning other women, but they ignored her. [/quote]

Honestly, Angelina Jolie's behaviour back in the day when this would have happened would have made me disbelieve/disregard her claims too- the blood with Billy Bob, the making out with her brother, etc. Plus, she wasn't some aspiring starlet from parents who waited at a WalMart in Arkansas- she had Hollywood power and connections behind her in her family. If she was going to tell someone, why the heck wouldn't she have told them - who might at least have had the power to do something about it.

You contradict yourself. First you said you wouldn't have believed her. Then you state why didn't she tell someone. She did tell someone. She told any female who would listen. Apparently, they took your first advice and didn't believe her. She also said she chose to never not work with him again. I guess that was her way of dealing with it. [/quote]

No, I didn't contradict myself, you misunderstood. I said that if I was one of the actresses AngelIna "warned" my thought process would have been: hmm, her behaviour indicates that she is unstable. Second, why is she telling ME this when she could be telling someone with the power to do something about it when she has access to such people in her own family. These two factors combined would have made me disbelieve her, and think that it was a false allegation.

Now, to be clear I don't think they are all false allegations - clearly he has harassed and assaulted multiple women, but the Angelina piece raises red flags to me. Why would she have done the bare minimum (telling other women) if it was true, rather than telling people who actually might have been able to take action, when she had access to such people. Either do nothing, or do something meaningful if you're in a position to do so, which many of the other women weren't. Don't do something half-assed and then say "but I tried" when it all comes out later.[/quote]
