Mira Sorvino? I would have expected that her father would have arranged for Weinstein to be rubbed-out.

Mira Sorvino’s father (Paul) is a well known actor. Shame on these men who turned the other way when it was the daughter of someone else.

Did he force any of these accusers to do anything or were they trading each other for favors? Just curious ...

thats what i just said. I figure Paul Sorvino would not have stood for that. Maybe she did not tell her dad.

Seems most felt pressured to comply if they wanted to keep their job or move ahead in career.
To me, forced would be actual physically forced as a few say happened to them.

Why are these women coming out now in some cases 20 years later? Did they value fame, stardom and money more than their self-respect?

Mira Sorvino claims she rebuffed him and feels that her career indeed suffered. Probably never told her father until recent events brought it all to light.

Rose McGowan continued to work w/ him even after she accepted the hush money. Shes no hero.

Just read this from the NY Times.

Less than a month ago they were still bragging about this stuff.

“thats what i just said. I figure Paul Sorvino would not have stood for that. Maybe she did not tell her dad.”

That’s a laugh.

He probably made the appointment for her.

The New Yorker has a lengthy account of Harvey Weinstein's doings, written by Mia Farrow's son.

No, it’s a portmanteau of his parents names “Miriam and Max”.
