The Powerful Said Nothing as Harvey Weinstein’s Alleged Victims Piled Up
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | October 6, 2017 | John Nolte

Thursday’s New York Times bombshell, which has effectively ended Oscar-winning producer and Democrat super-donor Harvey Weinstein’s career, contains two equally disturbing pieces of news, only one of which the national media will report and explore.

The first, of course, involves three decades of sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein, who has released a broad statement accepting “responsibility” for his behavior coupled with the claim that the Times got some things wrong.

The second bombshell, the one our national media is already sweeping under the rug, is that for twenty-plus years, many in Hollywood believed Weinstein was abusing his power to procure, harass, and manipulate young women, and no one said anything — not even the powerful.

The Times’ story opens with an allegation from former-movie star and strident leftwing feminist Ashley Judd:

Judd’s politics are ignorant but she made the NYT article which has brought down this Caligulaesque dirigible of sexual assault.

It took guts.

And to think, his homely self could have probably married one of those beautiful women and led a decent life with her, given his money, fame and power.

He IS married to a younger woman who most people consider quite attractive. Her name is Georgina Chapman, and she is part owner of the Marchesa couture clothing line.

He also has young children from the marriage.

What? ... Harvey Weinstein is a sexual predator who uses his power and position to sexually assault and bully women...?

Just who does he think he is, ... Bill Clinton?

[snip] Veteran actress Meryl Streep has been silent in the wake of a bombshell New York Times report alleging decades of sexual harassment allegations... in her 2012 Golden Globe acceptance speech, the actress thanked “God – Harvey Weinstein.” The pun was met with thunderous applause by the star-studded... But the Academy Award-winning star is one of many actresses who’ve worked with the embattled movie mogul, who’ve said nothing of this high-profile scandal. Among those A-list leading ladies are, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Anna Paquin, Renee Zelwegger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Judi Dench, and Penelope Cruz — many of whom have spoken out about domestic abuse and sexual assault in entertainment and other professional spaces. Kidman, for example, used her acceptance speech at the Emmy’s last month to highlight domestic abuse and violence against women. [/snip]

“Where was/is Hillary”?

Busy representing men who rape 12 year olds?

Wasn’t this the same excuse the ‘sluts and nuts’ teams (clear this up George Stephanopoulos) used against Monica and the other young women the Clintons used? Harvey and Bill - brothers under the skin?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/exclusive-hillary-clinton-took-me-through-hell-rape-victim-says

from link:

“I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing,” Clinton, then named Hillary D. Rodham, wrote in the affidavit.

Are they "alleged victims" if Weinstein admitted it?
