The Powerful Said Nothing as Harvey Weinstein’s Alleged Victims Piled Up
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | October 6, 2017 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/06/2017 7:17:07 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Thursday’s New York Times bombshell, which has effectively ended Oscar-winning producer and Democrat super-donor Harvey Weinstein’s career, contains two equally disturbing pieces of news, only one of which the national media will report and explore.

The first, of course, involves three decades of sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein, who has released a broad statement accepting “responsibility” for his behavior coupled with the claim that the Times got some things wrong.

The second bombshell, the one our national media is already sweeping under the rug, is that for twenty-plus years, many in Hollywood believed Weinstein was abusing his power to procure, harass, and manipulate young women, and no one said anything — not even the powerful.

The Times’ story opens with an allegation from former-movie star and strident leftwing feminist Ashley Judd:

I wonder why this guy is being fed to the sharks. There must be something about to come out on a bigger fish. Bill Clinton? Hillary?

Weinstein, one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood and a major Democratic donor...

Surprised CNN mentioned this little detail.

I've read elsewhere that Lisa Bloom has a film project that Weinstein is a part of.

Brit actress “Dame” Judi Dench had his name tattooed on her big, fat derrière...to impress him...albeit temporary.

Talk about disgusting.

A quote from your article in the Daily Mail:

"They are not alone in their silence either, as many other women who have sang the praises of Weinstein while speaking out against harassment also went mute as of Friday afternoon, including: Kate Hudson, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Toni Collette, Minnie Driver and Uma Thurman. Given the number of lawsuits that the company has settled over the years there is of course a chance that some of these women cannot speak because they signed a DNA or do not want to speak on account of their own personal experiences. "

...I'm pretty sure the bolded is a typo on their part.

Miss “don’t call me sweetheart” Ashley?

now tell me, people, doesn’t her story sound like a cookie cutter version of that gal that accused Trump of being forward?

NO sane woman goes alone to a man’s hotel for a ‘business meeting’ expecting it to be anything close to business.

It's not like she showed up there in the middle of the night.

So far as I can make out, Weinstein told Judd they'd have breakfast in the hotel restaurant and discuss the new project.

When she got to the hotel, he left a message that he'd worked all night and was still in his room eating cereal, and she should come up and they'd talk business.

She took him at his word.

“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.”

More like Bill Cosby! Both of them should be sharing a cell. They can spend their days “comparing their schmeckels.

This isn’t THAT unusual, except we know the name “Harvey Weinstein.” He is a homely man who in his growing up never imagined being within miles of beautiful women, but then with his $$$, fame and power, he was able to debase them (and himself) without consequence. Until now.

I think the bigger pervert is Lisa Bloom.

Clinton is exactly like this, and Schwarzenegger has got some of it as well.

They grab women as if they are objects of their immediate sexual gratification. Sexual assault.
