The corruption of the American power establishment is staggering, horrifying, dangerous, and sickening, and at its core is mendacity: contempt for truth.

“Mr. Weinstein is hosting his second fundraiser for the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Monday night in New York City. Academy Award winner Mr. DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Matthew Broderick will serve as co-hosts for the event.” Washington Times

How many stars have enabled the chronic abusers?

"I didn'the know" = Streep is lying to save her career and to keep her millions coming in. Streep knew Weinstein FOR DECADES! She partied with him, spent "time" with him; he was a close personal friend she has hung with for years and years and now she pulls the "Sargent Shultz defense": "I know nothing, NOTHING."

Sorry, not buying it for an instant.

Meryl, darling, you're a good actress, but you are not THAT GOOD.

Streep probably didn’t know. She was an established acclaimed academy award winning actress by the time Weinstein and his brother started Miramax. Streep and her generation of popular actresses all were established before Weinstein got all his wealth and power in Hollywood.

I’m sure he treated Streep and all her people and assistants with complete respect vs the young pretty actresses trying to get a come-up in the business.

What you mean she played his game?
If you mean screwed him for roles you have lost your mind.
She never needed him for roles.

Streep had already been nominated for two academy awards and the winner of one (Kramer vs Kramer) best actress, when Weinstein was still a nobody in Hollywood.
Miramax did not get its power until mid/late 80s after Streep was well into her iconic status as an actress and Hollywood royalty.

She’s a few years older than him and probably didn’t have anything to do with him outside of work, where he most likely treated her with respect vs the young hot actresses or employees that were trying to scrap for roles or a foothold in the business. Noway Weinstein is showing any kind of bad behavior with or around Streep.

Sexual harassers go after women in positions that are below them and wield power to bribe them into sexual favors to get or keep a job/career.

Can’t stand Streep’s politics but I get why she would not have known or seen any of Weinstein’s bad illegal behavior toward women.

Anna Nicole married for Love and
Bill Clinton was just “Counseling” a confused kid...

Bwahahaha

She knew, she’s speaking now to cover her political ass!
You don’t spend as much time around someone like that and not know. She did what was best for her career. She is only speaking out because people have demanded comments from the Fruit Loops that ran in Weinstein’s circle.
