Although most if not all famous Hollywood stars (Ben Affleck, anyone?) are pretending to be shocked and outraged by Harvey Weinstein's horrendous behavior toward women, some prominent members of Hollywood's elite are breaking rank. Case in point: screenwriter Scott Rosenberg, who says that everybody knew what Weinstein was up to... yet nobody did anything about it.
Why not, you ask? Simple: Because Weinstein had money and power. Not exactly a guy you want to mess with if you only care about your career and wealth.
Rosenberg has worked on films such as High Fidelity, Beautiful Girls, and 2018's Venom. His first two films were distributed by Miramax, the company Harvey and Bob Weinstein started. After HarveyGate broke out, this well-known and highly successful screenwriter wrote a Facebook post in which he claimed that "everybody f***ing knew."
After publishing it, Rosenberg either removed it or made it private, but before he did so his post had already been read by journalists from Deadline and the New York Daily News. Money quote: "Let's be perfectly clear about one thing: Everybody f***ing knew."
Ouch.
Rosenberg explained:
"Not that he was raping. No, that we never heard. But we were aware of a certain pattern of overly aggressive behavior that was rather dreadful. We knew about the man's hunger; his fervor; his appetite. There was nothing secret about this voracious rapacity; like a gluttonous ogre out of the Brothers Grimm. All couched in vague promises of potential movie roles. (And, it should be noted: there were many who actually succumbed to his bulky charms. Willingly. Which surely must have only impelled him to cast his fetid net even wider."
Furthermore, Rosenberg wrote, the rumors of Weinstein's sexual escapades were often discussed with "big producers," "big directors," "big financiers," "big rival studio chiefs," "big actors..."

... big politicians... wanting to check actresses out...
Satanism.
If everybody F*****g knew why didn’t anybody, including Rosenberg, F*****g say anything about it until it was time to jump on the bandwagon?
These are the people, politically and culturally, who have been trying to push faith and religion out of our daily lives.
Is anyone Linking Mel Gibson’s rant about Jews in Hollywood (several years ago) to what is coming out now? Seams to be allot of Jewish names being involved in these sex crimes.
The answer is in the full statement.
Are you surprised?
Every actress who had direct knowledge via personal experience with him but said nothing, because she didn’t want to jeopardize her career, actively chose to sacrifice all the other women who would then go through the same experience.
That is disgusting.
They should be shamed for it.
Well, it sounds like everyone WAS “saying something” about it. It sounds like they talked about it often, to each other. I think no one knew how to say something to someone who could actually do something about it. I mean, if everyone knew, then clearly people were “saying something.” It was just ineffectual.
‘Everybody F***ing Knew’
This cant be correct, Meryl Streep and Hillary didn’t know,
Seems they are all Jewish. Curious.
