I don't understand posts like this. We're discussing it because it's in the media.

And in any case, this is a big story, but it's competing with many other, more important ones for airtime and positioning on the front page.

That's because they are all friends and have many entanglements with Weinstein. The people who dropped in line and let this behavior of abuse go on for years is long and far reaching.

He’s friends with two former Presidents and the most recent Democratic nominee.

It's been an open secret for YEARS. Like... decades.

I don't think he planned to take a fall, but the front-page NYT article was well-researched and wasn't going away.

The real news is that Hollywood is 100% monopolized and corrupt. A small group of people have used their power to abuse women. This was no secret and the fact that A listers like Clooney supported him and politicians like Obama and Clinton took his money shows how corrupt our country is. Hollywood lawyers paying women off is disgusting. When the people at the top of the pyramid abuse their power then everyone suffers.

What is gross is how long Weinstein has controlled Hollywood and making or breaking careers. People go to jail for bid rigging. He has held his power over women for years as he monopolizes the industry. Just a few weeks ago all the stars like Clooney and others were rushing to his defense over some donation issue. He tells the stars to jump and they do. They have been hiding and supporting this predator for decades.

Hollywood is disgusting. All the people who helped him get away with this abuse because they are hypocrites too. Turning a blind eye to abuse of women is never going ok. The leaders of Hollywood are horrible people.

Aww, I always liked Georgina Chapman. Yuck.

Just google the Gretchen Mol stories.

This, especially when he got her the cover of Vanity Fair as the new "It girl." Lots of blinds about him too.
