White privilege?
Success privilege. I'm not clicking on CNN, but I think the NY Post article brought up the Weinstein/Allen collaboration, and their successes had a lot of people working for the films, and the artistic/wannabe artistic types got future benefits.
Kind of hard to trash those that gave you significant exposure in such an industry. Not to mention it's an industry that has a lot of such secrets/private lives/criminal liabilities to keep mum about if you want to keep working.
