“as Hollywood continues to real from bombshell after bombshell.’

Yes, it’s too real as they continue to reel.

This makes the democrat continuing claim of a Republican war on women very difficult.

The brother was supposedly the one who ratted Harve lol. Dem Party is a political party of racists and homos.

I hate to have to defend what is probably another lefty liberal Hollywood type but after reading the article, I didn’t see anything there. Per the article, he never inappropriately touched her, he didn’t grope her or sexually assault her. Again, per the article it sounds like he aggressively pursued her romantically and when she threatened to quit the show he backed off. Uh, where’s the sexual harassment?

If you want to lambast Bob Weinstein, I’m guessing he knew all about his brothers actions and did nothing about it until now. That’s what he’s guilty of, not this IMO.

Hollywood is wall-to-wall creeps. Rip the covers off ... watch the cockroaches scurry around.

He “made romantic overtures” and asked her out to dinner?

That’s “sexual assault” nowadays?

Come Jesus come. It’s time to end this.

Most or all of Harvey’s accuser/women wanted something from him: Fame and/or fortune. That makes them practitioners of the oldest profession.

If they were wronged they could have preferred charges at the time. Jumping on the bandwagon now is hopes for a payout.

I don’t care what Harv did with his tool. I think the only ones who do see themselves in line for some cash.

Justice? Hell no. Whoever heard of justice among liberals.

Here’s a chance to take down Hollywood.

Perhaps a Presidential Commission or Congressional Commission with hearings, testimony, for people to name names...hear the horror stores to take glow of hollywood, and maybe out the corruption.

went to the linked story. If true, looks like harassment, but no real details of sexual harassment, as defined by EEOC

The other day, Bob Weinstein had an interview published in some Hollywood rag where he denounced his brother, and claimed he was nothing like him.

I think these Hollywood guys are so arrogant, and so used to everybody kissing their behinds, that they don't even realize when they are harassing people.

Typical liberal- he has no reason to believe the laws he proposes for others should apply to himself.

I don’t see the “sexual harassment” here.

He wanted to be friends with her?

But she ‘REALLY KNEW’ he wanted something more? Are we going to prosecute men now on women’s ESP?

If he did anything at all like his brother did, he should get the same treatment- but in reading this entire article I don’t see it.

I was a VICTIM of a false allegation once. When sexual harassment charges first became all the rage, I had a secretary accuse me of it when I started working at a new company. I had to go to a HR meeting and I said “No, I just told her she was very nice” and that I knew she was single and I wanted to ask her out to dinner.

(I had already found out there was no company policy against dating - back then there WERE such things...)

Then she found out I was interested in dating her and dropped her complaint. Then she told me it was OK if I wanted to ask her out but by then I was too shocked to even think about it... so I sad NO thanks.

SO SHE TRIED TO REINSTATE THE CHARGE against me.

Fortunately saner heads prevailed back then, and they told her no- and that SHE could actually be accused of harassing me now, since she had approached me for a date (which is exactly what she accused me of doing)

So... Here we are now.

A woman THINKS a man “really wants more” than friendship- do we give her a few million bucks?

I have a theory on all this and why it’s tolerated.

Hollywood is first and foremost a tool of the Oligarchs (deep state) for propaganda.

In order to break down an actress or even child (and aspiring male actor), they get them to do something that will have a huge impact on them down to their soul. Then, in order for them to maintain their status and career, they must tow the party line of liberalism.

It seems like the initial ‘initiation’ of sex with someone like Weinstein is just part of the process of becoming an actress and having a career.

So if my theory is correct, it’s not just a bad culture of abuse in Hollywood, it’s one that’s been set up that way to get the desired result of a liberal and nihilistic culture.
