We've all heard for years and years about the infamous casting couch where Hollywood bigwigs would "audition" starlets. Why is this only now an issue and why this guy? He was an absolute degenerate pig, no doubt, who used his money and power to feed his ego with every beautiful woman who he knew would never have given him a second look were it not for his position. I say, what about all the OTHER men like him?
But certainly not all the blame rides on Harvey. He had his enablers in the business as well as the women who willfully subjected themselves to him in order to make money and a name for themselves. Not to mention...his WIFE, who had to know this was going on and stayed with him for the same reasons. Disgusting! It's no wonder the filth that has been pouring out of there for so long.
>> Why is this only now an issue
Lost containment of the narrative. Same thing happened with the MSM’s tacit support of Antifa up until a few weeks ago.
Not much different than the derelict that knows his limits, the Left has a good sense about what it can protect from the law, and what must be discarded/sacrificed.
The likes of Carlos Slim broke this story. Not Disney, not Comcast, not Viacom — the “All American” corporations that evidently don’t give a damn.
Judd claims she never succumbed to Weinstein's advances. I don't believe that, and I think Judd is hiding much of the truth. To admit that she had sex with him or gave him oral sex would not fit with her "feminist" image she has constructed for herself.
She is currently trying to earn a PhD from Berkeley, and wants to become a political figure.
Other women in Hollywood will not come forward because of the shame. Many, sadly, prostituted themselves for money and fame (and not just with Weinstein, the town is full of Weinsteins).
