Between this and Cosby it is almost as if powerful men in Hollywood have long taken advantage of young actresses and no one would call them on it out of fear of retaliation.

If only they had the good sense to never be alone with a woman they wouldn't be subject to these made up allegations.

What part of this is supposed to be in pink, my friend? ;-)

I don't do pink font. Only shirts. But all of it other than the story.

Any thought that this was just a couple people with an axe to grind is long gone. More and more name actresses are coming out.

You wish stories like this would be rare instances. But much like doping in cycling, I think they may well be the rule rather than the exception in these kind of situations.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

NY Post Editorial entitled, "No one knew about Harvey, Give me a break."

It has this funny, but sad, note:

Not everyone knew? Tina Fey knew. Back in 2012, Fey’s sitcom “30 Rock” made direct reference. “I’m not afraid of anyone in show business,” Jane Krakowski’s character said. “I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions . . . out of five.”

Not sure about that. The joke is in fact good comedy because it relates to reality. The line is useless if the name is something other than a known person.

Definitely the rule rather than the exception. But people will do almost anything for the promise of fortune and fame, sad to say.

Hollywood's been a cesspit of this stuff going back to the silent movie era. Many of the original studio moguls, such as Jack Warner, were by most accounts, not nice men.

Former child and teen A-list actor Corey Feldman has implied several times that both he and his fellow Corey (Haim) were ill-used and passed around by various studio execs back in the day. There have also been plenty of stories of young child actors treated so. And the Tinseltown casting couch phenomenon is a real thing, judging by all the revelations that have been published in the past and the present.

Sometimes, it makes one wonder why we'd enable that culture by paying to see their product. Does that make all of us complicit in their unethical, and possibly criminal, behavior?

It's funny. I often read Hollywood articles that paint a picture of all these things happening in "Hollywood's sorid past", but the implication is that's all different now. Part of Hollywood's politcal appeal is how much more evolved they are than the rest of us.

Anyway, the net result of these all-too-human stories is that -- even though it's not related -- I always come away much more fearful of all the power we've given the gov't.

Trusting Hollywood -- and the entertainment business in general -- to police itself is like trusting the government to police itself.

I guess this guy has more women running around packing non-disclosure agreements, after he settled with them, than the Dallas Cowboys have haters. ;-)

Ok now, get of your high horse. Cesspits can be found wherever you find people with power. And people without power for that matter.

Or am I missing something? Has there ever been a human institution that did not have a cesspit component?

If only they had the good sense to never be alone with a woman they wouldn't be subject to these made up allegations.

Fixed it now?

So because of an avalanche of allegations, are you convinced that he did ALL of the things that he recently has been accused of doing?

Lets see;

It turns out that childrens entertainers were a hiding place in plain sight for paedophiles

It turns out that coaches in;

Premier league clubs

UsA swimming and gymnastics - i am sure it was far more international as one of my swim coaches as a child was done for an unhealthy interest in kids

Were hiding places for paedophiles

It turns out that men in powerful positions; tv execs, presenters and producers absue their positions of power over the powerless; women and children

The interesting one so far is brad pitts supposed response to paltrows experience

Weinsteins wife has finally left him. Day late and dollar short

Yeah, Mr. Fight Club would no doubt have knocked Weinstein on his fat a$$. He was just as powerful as the Miramax/Weinstein Company head at the time, is my guess, and so the bully backed down.
