The Next H'wood Scandal: Powerful, Sexually-Abusive Women and Gays
Black & Blonde Media ^ | 10/13/17 | Black & Blonde Media

Posted on 10/13/2017 12:34:13 PM PDT by impetrio1

It's extremely timely, given the left's hatred of President Trump, to make the whole Harvey Weinstein-Hollywood sexual abuse thing about men in powerful positions taking advantage of poor, innocent women who were just trying to make it in the business. But when we're talking about Weinstein just being the tip of the iceberg, let's not buy into that floating mass just being composed of testosterone.

When Googling various actresses over the years, I've noticed that when you click on the "images" link you will almost always find several "cheesecake" type photos, even among actresses who weren't later known for playing "sexpot" roles.

It seems like posing for such photos was almost a right of passage - "show us what you've got" - as a sign of submission to Hollywood power and authority, and that most budding actresses - eager for fame and fortune - willingly submitted. The pressure to engage in actual sex just took it one step further.

It's a total cesspool, no one should be surprised.
I personally know of 2 naive Midwestern young men who traveled out to Hollywood wanting to be actors - they quickly discovered the Casting Couch Culture (of gay men) and came back home.
You can bet the same scenario is played out every single day, for both young men and women.

Heck , most of Hollywood should just raise their hand.

Fewer hands would raise if one asked "who hasn't abused or been abused" in that cesspool!

You should read about Rita Hayworth. She was “discovered” dancing in a bar in Tijuana as a teenager. She was brought up to Hollywood when she was about 18 and “introduced” to men who “could help her career.”

This may be the new “it” thing...join the “I was sexually abused” bandwagon.

Well, it would certainly deflect from the obvious questions - "What did YOU know? And when did you know it?"

“Rob Schneider?.......................”

Rob has been on tv a couple of times talking about the sexual abuse in Hollywood. He said he was never abused but he knows many who were.

“SO far to guys have come out about being abused but the libtard cowards won’t name names. Gues they are afraid of being called homophobic in hollywoody!-)”

More like they are afraid of being sued out of existence.
IIRC California law is set up to shield the degenerates.
Corey Feldman has stated several times that he would love to name names but California law would not be on his side, the people he named could sue him into bankruptcy.

While I agree with you I can understand the fear factor involved.

These people still have to contend with California law that serves to protect the Hollywood elites.

I have no legal experience but have read several times that people are scared of the law suits that would come their way.
Perhaps someone familiar with the relevant California laws could chime in.

Do you have enough faith in the California legal system to bet everything you own that no leftist judge would side against you.
I don’t.

“I sure hope not, because that would mean you’re a scumbag.<

Are you a scumbag?”

I think that would make him a capitalist.

Are you a capitalist?

I forgot to mention Raquel Welch, when filming 100 Rifles in Spain, had to fight off a producer or director one night.

Years ago, some magazine published nude photos of male stars from the 1930s and 1940s, that had been taken to show the producers what they “had”.
Total frontal male nudity. Several names would be recognizable today.

The one thing you notice about the actresses complaining about Weinstein is that they’re mostly past their prime. They’ve made their money and now they’re complaining. It’s not that Weinstein doesn’t deserve the derision he is receiving. But what I see is a coup in Hollywood led by women who have a perfect target to start a new career with much more control and much more money.

Using Free Republic as a free advertising tool makes him a capitalist?

I think it makes him a thief.

Are you a thief?
