Donna Karan defends pal Weinstein, says harassed women ‘may be asking for it’

Fashion designer Donna Karan has come to her pal Harvey Weinstein‘s defense ​in a bold way ​– saying sexually harassed women may be “asking for it” by dressing seductively, according to the Daily Mail.

“You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble,” she told the British tabloid in a red-carpet interview at the CinéFashion Film Awards in LA.

“To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality?”

The DKNY founder, who is friends with Weinstein’s wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, described the couple as “wonderful people,” adding: “Harvey has done some amazing things.”

Asked if Weinstein had been “busted,” she reportedly smiled and told the paper, “I don’t think it’s only Harvey Weinstein.”

Please do. I’m thinking though, that Weinstein somehow made the transition from “right” kind of person to “wrong” kind of person. I wonder who he crossed?

I’ll take Malia Obamas daddy for a $1000 Alex!

I’m sure this guy wasn’t doing this to Obama’s daughter. He does it to women he knows he can get away with it with. Like Bill Clinton.

Harvey: “And then Billy Boy, check this out, I welded up a damn plant right in front of her!!! Can you believe that one!? Bill Clinton: “Hey gomer, when you slam ‘em hard with cigars and then smoke them right in front of her azz....get back to me son.”

The homosexual harassment is far worse

Of young boys and men

See Roland Emmerich

All of the above with emphasis on first

Weinstein has same accent and coarseness and ill manners as my ex husband in law who was a Russian Jew raised in Flushing not too far from Harvey
He had a quick wit though

I lived in Manhattan long ago

You can pick up on accents and manners from similar neighborhoods

Like I can tell a black from the Mississippi delta or a white person from Metarie versus say the north shore of Ponchatrain and so forth

An ashkhenazim ethnic Jew from where Harvey is from will be markedly different in speech and manners than say upper west side Manhattan or Scarsdale

Harvey weren’t raised fancy and it shows if you get my drift

He’s no Morgantheau

He’s a horny devil with truly depraved lack of decorum with women.....that’s a learned trait

Such a low opinion of how to treat girls

And man is he one ugly dude

When he was alive Noriega who was affectionately known as Cara Piña was grateful for Harvey

And, of course, what she said was taken out of context.

Here’s the “apology”...

Any man who would coerce a woman into sex for a starring role is a pig, any woman who would sleep with a man for a starring role is a pig....notice a pattern?
