Has anyone noticed something a bit odd about the actresses accusing Harvey Weinstein?

Instead they took Glenn Frey.

There is a bit of difference between “groupies” (underage notwithstanding) and the casting couch. One is wholly voluntary, while the other is coercion.

If she was drugged, I don’t think that was exactly “voluntary.”

Every word you say is good here. And yes, this hypocrisy needs to be pointed out. Time for the world to see how phony these lefty tools are. They support (by action or silence) the abuse of Less Powerful Minorities (underling women or children). Anything they say about helping the downtrodden IS TOTAL BULL. No one should ever listen to their political crap again EVER.

I think you are as sick as Weinstein. This is just stupid. What if it was your daughter. Would you call her a whore because a producer assaulted her?

I’ve read about what a perv Alfred Hitchcock was. In his movies he always picked the same-looking type woman, beautiful patrician-looking blondes—Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint, Grace Kelly, Tippi Hedren. Doris Day was the only one who didn’t quite fit the mold.

Hitchcock did the perv director routine with all his leading ladies but he REALLY went after Tippi Hedren. He was sexually abusive and just plain nasty abusive to Tippi, because she firmly rejected his advances. Finally, Tippi had it out with her abuser and Hitchcock said “You’ll never work in this town again!” And at that point, her career essentially ended. I admire her courage.

The ones who are no better than other women who sell their bodies for money and fame are the ones who agreed to the deal, and didn’t warn other women.

Had it been my daughter, she would have screamed loud and long when it happened, and perhaps the next set women would have been forewarned.

Well said.

By the way, I am not a dime a dozen. I’m $1750 an hour.


I hope you forget a decimal. Maybe $17.50. Not many are worth $1750 an hour and they sure don’t post garbage like this.

My daughter never would have gone anywhere near Hollywood in the first place.

re: “stopping supporting Hollywood.” I think that is already happening.

Remember a few summers ago when we had a new “blockbuster” every weekend.

Now, most are simply bad remakes of old classics and/or high-tech, “aren’t Gays wonderful,” anti-American, special effects cartoons. The current “Murder on the Orient Express” is atrocious and doing its well-eserved horrible box office. Likewise, the attempt to remake “Blade Runner” was an artistic and commercial disaster.

Hollywood abandoned America and it’s values. Now we are catching up by abandoning them. All we are doing is returning the favor.

Have a good weekend.

One does not afford the plane and the boat on $17.50 per.

Your economic understand and math skills are as bad as your logic.

I agree, what’s hard to stomach: In 1998 none of these pampered starlets and feminazis had a word to say about the Rapist Bill Clinton and his rapist-enabling wife. The Queen of the feminazi hags, Gloria Steinam, even essentially said that “the first grope is free.” when it came to Rapist Bill Clinton’s behavior.

And these leftist hypocritical hags still say NOTHING about rapist Bill Clinton. Now they even elevate the evil Kankles and have her stand on the stage with them!

When Ronald Reagan was the head of the Screen Actors Guild, one wonders how many casting couch complaints he fielded related to accounts of behaviors of the likes of Zanuck, Mayer, and Freed, etc.

FReegards!

Are you kidding me? You are not paying attention. Corey Feldman was vilified by Barbara Walters years ago for calling Hollywood full of them, he blames Corey Haim’s death on it (destroyed him emotionally). He starts talking about it again and gets arrested (I firmly believe to threaten him to shut up). Elijah Wood basically said he managed to avoid it only because his mother was very vigilant and didn’t let him be about on his own. Any place there are vulnerable kids, there are predators believe me.

Actresses have a shelf-life of what? Ten years? Twelve years?

Most of them can be dismissed as "has beens" or "not yets" or "never weres" if that's what you want to do, but it's the nature of the industry and the profession that there isn't much room at the top.

And those who didn't make it to the top may not have made it because they didn't give in to Harvey.

Why attack the ones who say what Harvey was like and who say that they didn't give in to him?

If you have to trash somebody, trash the ones who gave in and aren't criticizing Weinstein.

Eventually, we'll find out who they are.

They all make exceptions, for ‘muh career’. Incredible, a director tweeted about Weinstein that what he did was horrible, but what he found even worse was him recutting old movies! Very superficial people who seem to really not care a whit about other people.

I would hate to be your client. You must be a hoot at cocktail parties.

You may be ok legally, but that does not pass the smell test ethically. Do you tell your clients you talk about them in internet chat rooms? Do they know you think they are slutty, dirty little girls. I am sure they would appreciate that characterization.

Dude, if I were you, I would quietly turn the computer off and walk away until all this stuff has blown over.

It’s not worth wrecking your career over.
