17 Notorious, on-the-Record Harvey Weinstein Stories (TR)
Vulture ^ | 5 Oct 2017 | Hunter Harris

Posted on 10/09/2017 5:16:28 AM PDT by SkyPilot

seems like everyone in Hollywood has a story about Harvey Weinstein. On Thursday, the New York Times released a bombshell report detailing the most nefarious allegations: multiple women, including Ashley Judd, accused him of sexual harassment. The women allege that Weinstein’s behavior varied from “appearing nearly or fully naked in front of them, requiring them to be present while he bathed or repeatedly asking for a massage or initiating one himself.” But guess what, tales of his misbehavior aren’t just limited to sexual-harassment allegations! New York once described him as “neither indie hustler nor studio boss, a different beast altogether: a New York City behemoth with avid fingers in all corners of the pie.” Here are 11 of the most notorious tales, all of which — unlike the sexual-harassment allegations — have been on the record for years:

The really substantial thing about the Harvey expose is that anyone associated w/ him looks bad including his vast Hollyood connections.....all of them Democrat donors.

Tout Hollywood---slavishly Democrat---KNEW about Harvey's proclivities ..... and did nothing.

THIS is why the entire political Left it terrified of the revelations about Harvey Weinstein. It makes many people Weinstein dealt with as either culpable or as material witnesses, and I wouldn't be surprised every national TV talk show host with Left political leanings have consulted their lawyers over this. Expect many Democratic politicians to consult with their lawyers, too.

And Weinstein may have been a predator to more than just actresses. He could be link that could blow wide open the entire "casting couch" culture of Hollywood, including pedophilia.

N-i-c-e take, Ray.....particularly your observation that his associates are "material witnesses."

Harvey's disgusting attacks on women are crimes, after all.

Plus the "casting couch culture" is nothing more than "organized crime."

They should all get slapped w/ a RICO.

Thanks for weighing in.

Agree Liz. And I also don't buy all of Ashley Judd's statements that she "resisted" all of Weinstein's advances. First of all, it doesn't add up. If she had resisted Weinstein, she would never had risen so far and fast in Weinstein's empire during the 1990s.

Secondly, it seems logical to assume that from Judd's point of view, if she admitted that she had sex or oral sex with Weinstein, her carefully constructed persona of a self-described "feminist" would be destroyed.

Judd is pursuing a PhD from Berkeley, and wants to go into politics. If she comes across as another actress/prostitute, she knows that will harm her aspirations.

As much as I dislike Tom Cruise, his Les Grossman character in Tropical Thunder had to be an unflattering portrayal of Weinstein and this of his ilk.

Lol. I never thought of that.

Actor Daniel Day Lewis said it best: He told Harvey to his face, "the only thing that works for you is filmmaking.......you're a total disaster as a person."

Good for Lewis!

Lewis can be scary in a role.

Not much here, but I almost fell off my chair at number 14. Seems like a frustrated mobster, really. Thanks SkyPilot.

See? Everyone has a good side...

Well put.

Bill Cosby date-raped for over 40 y ears, but hey, it was only like about one a year, and most of them were white, so who cares? Tina and Amy excoriate him at the Golden Globes in 2015, and in 2016 the black retaliation was “Oscars-so-white”.

Hitlery was too ill to campaign, much less govern, has been ass deep in corruptions and misdeeds for decades (going back to the Watergate investigation, at least), and was so sure of her victory that she openly insulted tens of millions of Americans as “deplorable”, as well as exulted over ranks of unemployed coal miners — and all the while the Partisan Media Shills kept their mouths shut about her shortcomings, and covered her felonies regarding her email server by trying to make a joke out of the whole scandal. She put out a ridiculous book blaming everyone but herself, and the shilling continues, saying she took responsibility, and that, oh, it was those men, all that sexism that beat her.

Overpaid black racist players are wrecking the NFL right now, so I suspect that won’t be the target of the next liberal feminazi attacks. Any ideas?

We may be talking about a sex scandal that makes the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Pennsylvania State University seem like a small-time event in comparison. Makes you wonder about the fate of the late Corey Haim and the “big time Hollywood mogul” Corey Feldman referred to....

Too bad nobody ever punched this guy’s lights out. I would love to see Jackie Chan kung fu Weinstein in a ninja-like way (don’t get caught or identified).

Les is better looking than Harvey, and probably a better dancer.

Shy Malia Obama is seen arriving for internship work with Harvey Weinstein in New York City, New York on February 15, 2017. The daughter of former President Barack Obama has been working hard for the studio head.

I wonder if Malia’s attire was typical for Weinstein’s office.

With all of this going on, it’s worth noting that former First Daughter, Malia Obama’s, summer was spent as an intern for Harvey Weinstein.

While Weinstein claims innocence, I know personally I would not want my young adult daughter to be put in the position of being subservient or beholden to the whims of an alleged sexual predator. Particularly one who uses his position of power and influence as leverage to obtain sexual favors.

Malia Obama’s parents are likely powerful enough to keep the man from trying anything...
