Since the dawn of time!
Go back to the silents (Wallace Reid, anyone?), pre-code era of Hollywood (Clara Bow, anyone?) and the 40s and 50s (Marilyn, anyone?) and you’ll see that Hollywood has always attracted drunks, cokeheads, tramps and monsters. Nothing new. I’m surprised anyone is surprised.
You said it. Money and power and fame - you want it, you pay, assuming you have the right "coin".
If Harvey were to announce tomorrow that he was casting a movie, girls would still show up today willing to pay.
the first line says it all.
Many women play the game too, willingly. I’m not talking about real assault victims, but I worked in the media/advertising industry and women sleeping around to control business relationships was common. I knew one woman who preyed on married men, and she had the ability to make them kowtow to her. She wasn’t even super attractive physically, but she was aggressive and made it easy for guys to want her.
Hillary Clinton dreaded making a statement because she’s closely tied to Weinstein. And because her husband is a rapist. She had to say something eventually though!
“Many women play the game too, willingly. Im not talking about real assault victims, but I worked in the media/advertising industry and women sleeping around to control business relationships was common.”
You’re right about that. I raised my son to have common sense and Christian values. He recently finished school, and has a young marriage and a beautiful baby. Because of his talents he landed a coveted post-production job this summer, and when Hollyweird women saw who he was working with and his earning potential, they began targeting him. His happy family life is apparently no obstacle to them. I pray for him often.
I just assume that anyone with wealth and/or power is a creep and an exploiter. I’m seldom wrong and when I am it means being pleasantly surprised.
Most people are A-holes in direct proportion to their power and influence over others.
Then the rare exceptions are put on pedestals so high that we can’t help but see their flaws :-(
Isn’t he the best!
I don’t remember the name, but there was some silent movie actress creep who used to lurk in public bathrooms, waiting to proposition any female who came in. And I mean any female. They said if a six-year-old came in, she’d say, “Honey, want me to show you something that feels good?” The POS died young from cancer, but I’m sure she molested as many as she could for as long as she could.
Those in the company that knew about the hush money to silence assaulted actresses, and said nothing, have BIG problems.
(HAT TIP RayChuang88) The entire political Left it terrified of the Harvey Weinstein revelations b/c it makes untold numbers of people Weinstein dealt with as (A) either culpable (aiding and abetting), or, (B) as material witnesses. Possibly every national TV talk show host with Left political leanings have consulted their lawyers over this.
Expect many Democratic politicians to consult with their lawyers, too.
And if the company charged off the hush money as a "business expense"....the IRS is about to come calling.
Poor Jean Harlow couldn’t get a dinner. The platinum blonde looked so intimidating, guys were afraid to ask her out, assuming she’d turn them down. At times, she’d put on a disguise and go out at night to meet strangers.
The problem spilled over into her public life, too, as she married unattractive losers, one of whom beat her so severely she suffered kidney damage. Her mother, a Christian Scientist, delayed Jean’s getting any real medical help until it was too late, and Jean died of the malady.
But at least she gave Clark Gable a good boink.
I love Jean Harlow! Funny, beautiful, hard-boiled. Yeah, that husband who committed suicide leaving that weird note...beautiful women do have it tough. The only guys willing to ask them out is the one guy they don’t want to be caught dead with.
They actually put the hush money in his contract, lol! What idiot lawyer came up with that??
Ah, yes.
I remember it well....the halcyon days of the Clintons. Take sex wherever it becomes available. If the bimbos complained, just pay them off. No biggie.
Then Obama.....laws?...... what laws?
Funniest presidential PR stunt-—Obama went to Hollywood to see his donors......but only males were allowed in the PR pic (in a town teeming w/ nubile starlets). Phoney as a three dollar bill.
Acne scars, stubble, and fat.
Catnip to young actresses.
Grandma? Is that you? They told me you were dead!
