So they now are finding Hollywood has men in positions of power abusing their power to procure, harass, and manipulate young women.

Wait.

I think I hear Betty Davis laughing.

So Weinstein bought off or intimidated women into silence and the whole Hollywood gang went along? Sounds like the Bill Clinton script to a t.

Wow and the libs in Hollyweird were SO offended about something Trump said with Billy Bush 15 YEARS ago. It was just way to vulgar for them to comprehend—yeah right. Biggest hypocrites ever.

It’s been widely known for years that Weinstein is a complete prick. Only reason it’s taken so long to filter down to the masses is his politics. Ashely Judd knew this fact long before she donned a pussy hat and railed against Trump last year.

Well this is interesting about his early efforts as a film producer (from Wikipedia)... in the late '80s/early '90s he was involved with some psycho-sexual dramas which blurred the "X" rating in movies and led to the MPAA introducing the "NC-17" rating category between X and R:

... In 1989, their successful launch release of Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape propelled Miramax to become the most successful independent studio in America.[10]

Also in 1989, Miramax released two art-house films, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and director Pedro Almodóvar's film Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, both of which the MPAA rating board gave an X-rating, effectively stopping nationwide release for these films. Weinstein sued the MPAA over the rating system. His lawsuit was later thrown out, but got the MPAA to agree to introduce the new NC-17 rating.

I remember when the Soderbergh and Almodovar films were coming out because I was around a lot of university people who talked about them as though they were a big deal. I walked OUT on a theater showing of “Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!” which distressed some of my avant garde friends of the time. I have sat through some sordid films before, but I thought that Almodovar was just too sicko perverted to endure, and I could not sit through the film, not even for the sake of “art”....

Figures that Harvey Weinstein launched his career trying to “mainstream” crap like that in America.

Seems like Trump was accurately describing liberal women... way back when...

oooh good one, you’re killing me!

Yes, I suppose the money was too good for Lisa Bloom to pass up. She certainly has prostituted her lefty feminist credentials here, though I understand the code of lawyers is that everyone is entitled to legal representation.

Biden? Hair plug stories.

Reading Judd's "massage" story, I immediately thought of Algor's run-in with a masseuse.

Hey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus played a masseuse. I wonder...

Weinstein must think he needs to live the life of David O. Selznick.

OH, THE HYPOCRISY!! I heard Lisa Bloom, ‘feminist attorney’, refer to Mr Weinstein’s ‘activities’ as ‘workplace misconduct’. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Like a Republican could have gotten away with a tenth of what Weinstein did!

Nah, the only real sin in Hollywood is not funding leftist causes.

Everyone should tweet/FB idiots like Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert, Clinton, Kamala etc and ask how they can stay silent on this DISTURBING dirtbag while constantly berating Trump. If it weren’t for DOUBLE standards, libs would have nothing, at all.

This makes me so happy. It’s about time. May it keep happening. May Hollywood finally stop knob slobbering the big pedos and sexual abusers. I knew at 14 which stars/bigwigs were looking for the underaged girls... everyone knew and no one did a thing. Break down Hollywood’s evil, one sin at a time.

I keep thinking about media matters and how they haven’t reacted much.

At least he never said the word “pussy”, otherwise feminists might have gotten upset with him. /s
