Addressing Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos on Twitter, McGowan criticized the company for doing business with Weinstein.

"I told the head of your studio that HW raped me," she wrote. "Over and over I said it. He said it hasn't been proven. I said I was the proof.".......

And Hillary—the great protector of females worldwide—enabling him in every instance by destroying everyone who dared accuse her so-called husband.

Was it workplace sexual harassment when Robert Rodriguez had an affair with her (that tanked his marriage) while she was starring in his movie Plsnet Terror and he was promising her at least 3 other lead roles?

“Once this sort of thing reaches critical mass, it’s hard to stop. It sucks everyone in, regardless of their power.”

And where these “Hollywood Moguls” are concerned, that’s a good thing. For one thing, prolonging this stuff, along with the NFL and the other “professional sports,” makes it all the harder for the MSM to continue their 24/7 attacks on Trump.

I haven’t watch SNL in decades.
It was funny back in the 70s.
Not today.

2017 was more interesting than 2016. 2016 was more interesting than 2015, etcetera. 2018 is gonna be a doozy.

“Just like the NFL debacle, I hope Hollywoodland ends up eating 90% of itself in the ensuing panic and carnage.”

Although I agree with your sentiment, the fact is the NFL hasn’t experienced panic and carnage at all. They’ve only lost a few measly bucks that they will surely recover in full and exceed in the long run. A brain dead nation such as ours that twice elected the monster Hussein and continues to elect and re-elect scumbag Marxocrats unceasingly regardless of the evil they’ve perpetrated for decade after decade will not remember today’s anthem brouhaha in the slightest. Just give it a few weeks and the stadium seats will be full again. And the revelations of Hollyweird degeneracy, too, will have no lasting impact on their ability to shill for the Devil amd make big bucks. Count on it! We are simply witnessing the fall of the Roman Empire, version 2.0, in real time, to a nation of sinners too evil to recover from decades of moral and ethical collapse.

in this case, we as seeing what is becoming an indictment of the Hollywood culture. That makes it serious news.

I hope that what we are seeing is an indictment of the news business as a whole.

The New York Times, The Washington Post, the TV networks, all of them fixate over every single innocent mistake that a Republican makes. However, with Democrats they cover up yuge abuses of power.

We saw Newseek spike the Monica Lewinsky story, NBC spike the Juanita Broderick story, the networks try to spike the John Edwards affair story, and now the top Democrat donors and celebrities groping, exposing, and rape stories.

All of America's centers of journalism have moved past "fake news" into the much worse "corrupt news." They are purposely omitting important stories from the American people because they involve persons who are important to Democrat causes.

Americans cannot trust that the news being presented to them is really the news that matters, and that is serious business.

“Was it workplace sexual harassment when Robert Rodriguez had an affair with her (that tanked his marriage) while she was starring in his movie Plsnet Terror and he was promising her at least 3 other lead roles?”

I guess we need to look at the contracts to see if there is a “Weinstein Clause” that facilitates sexual harassment and assault, and benefits the company when/if they occur?

“It’s a good point. These women would have needed to file charges right after the crimes occurred, which they were too afraid to do.”

Or they took a payoff to keep quiet.

Strangely, Law & Order: SVU just had an episode (this season’s episode 2) where the guy got arrested after 20 years for his actions as a teacher for repeatedly raping 3 of his students. Turned out, one of the times, he forced himself with a weapon and that was the one charge they got him on.

It’s almost like someone was writing a plan for how to get Harvey. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Over in the UK, there have been all kinds of arrests and sanctions, people losing jobs over sexual misconduct allegations.

Living people have been falsely accused and dead people unable to defend themselves have been accused and even investigated by the police.

It all started when a famous and dead entertainment personality (Jimmy Saville) was discovered to have been a serial rapist, child abuser and more using his power and prestige to avoid consequences.
