And here is another with people guessing Richard Kind and George Clooney

http://blindgossip.com/?p=88012#more-88012

This older American actor has been around forever. He’s always been fairly quiet and managed to stay out of any controversies. So why is he suddenly flapping his yap in a very noisy way about a very touchy subject?

He’s trying to make a preemptive strike for [a more famous friend] and create doubt in people’s minds before anything becomes public.

Sound like his famous friend is scared that someone he violated in the past is going to set their sights on him and unmask his very bad behavior.

He should be.

Ladies, defend yourselves!! US Law makes provisions for women who are reasonably in fear of grievous bodily injury or harm! Use it! The SCOTUS has ruled that it’s not the govt’s job to defend any one individual. You are responsible for your own self defense.

(At the very least, don’t attempt to disarm others who would defend you).

Since that incident in the early 1990s, Henstridge has found success as an actress — starring in the films “Species” and “The Whole Nine Yards.” But she said she has carried the memory of the run-in with her, and watched from afar as Ratner became one of Hollywood’s most powerful players — directing, producing or financing dozens of today’s biggest box-office hits, including “Rush Hour,” “X-Men: The Last Stand,” “The Revenant” and “Horrible Bosses.”

Are we to assume she has proudly prostituted herself out since then to get all these roles?? 27 years huh??
got chapstick?

#20 I guess this is why James Cameron moved to New Zealand.

Given the box office this year, a lot of people wouldn’t notice.

Wouldn’t be surprised about Cameron. He has a pretty horrible reputation. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey even made a joke about him at the Golden Globes a few years back.

Since this is so prevalent throughout industries..why not some of the powerful people in MUSIC..which had plenty of powerful blacks.

David Geffen's Day of Reckoning is coming soon.

Instead of giving in, she should have bit it off.

Apparently, they didn't prostitute themselves out enough for Hollywood to make them household names.

Brett Ratner - never heard of him nor have I cared to see any of those movies listed

Olivia Munn - don't recognize her

Natasha Henstridge - recognize her face but not her name

Jaime Ray Newman - recognize the face but not the name

Katharine Towne - never heard of her

Eri Sasaki - even google doesn't know her

Jorina King - google barely knows her with only two entries and no picture

I think it’s strictly a power thing. They hate women and want to make any woman suffer with their own depravity.

It’s pretty funny how the Trump administration has empowered women to talk about this in Hollywood.

I think it's because they're still enraged over the Trump election. After expecting Hillary they got stuck with a white straight male, so they suddenly feel vulnerable. They need to wear those stupid hats & strike back at something to stay relevant.

I really think they shot themselves in the foot here. Although Weinstein & his ilk are scum, these guys at least supported the liberal agenda, as well as provided employment. If I were a director or mogul, I'd feel betrayed, in a way. And scared, as anything 50 years old can be dredged up and used against them. Again, their behavior was inexcusable, but it should have been addressed privately and in a timely manner.

I hope all this costs these women, and their liberal cronies, any financial backing from Hollywood. Who would want to be around them, let alone support them? These feminists remind me of someone with borderline personality disorder: they desperately need other people -- in this case the wealthy and powerful -- yet spit in their faces.
