Sorry, but it entirely based on fact. Our firm represented too many women and men who had been victimized by the system. Their anger was equally directed at the men, and yes, women, who were the victimizers, and also at the prior victims who kept silent to preserve their own careers.

My point is, why didn’t the victims of this start screaming 40 years ago.

Stop using the word “system.” It doesn’t exist. Predators are all over the place not just the performing arts.

Because they knew they would be ignored. Or there would be interviews with their "former boyfriend" saying what big sluts they were even if they had never had more then a nodding acquaintance with the guy.

They would be called whores. It would be implied that they were prostitutes who used their bodies to get ahead or, if they fought him off, prudes because, "everybody knows what actresses are like."

And then they would be sued. They would not only never work in Hollywood again they would never work anywhere again.

They would be treated the exact same way everyone else who claimed sexual abuse in Hollywood is treated.

After all it wasn't "rape rape" right?

Looks like they were right.
