Fashion designer Donna Karan is "apologetic from the bottom of my heart" and embarrassed about "stupid" remarks she made last week that suggested sexual harassment victims were "asking for it" by the way they dressed.
Her comments on a red carpet touched off outrage online following sexual harassment and assault allegations against fallen movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Karan spoke to Women's Wear Daily in an interview published Monday, saying she spoke while sleep deprived and without knowing details of the mounting allegations against Weinstein, telling a red carpet reporter:
"How do we display ourselves, how do we present ourselves as women, what are we asking? Are we asking for it, you know, by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality? ... It's not Harvey Weinstein. You look at everything all over the world today, you know, and how women are dressing and, you know, what they're asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble."

:) Dumb as a box of rocks.
That picture tells me she had no problem doing the dirty to get a part in a big time film.
Oh, absolutely; the “casting couch” concept is hardly new. Even worse, and what isn’t even being mentioned: All those early “participants” who chose to remain silent paved the way for a LOT more people to be targeted. Their stories ring hollow and false when they come forth after making their millions; they’ve been paid for their whoring, now they have scruples/regrets?
I like the way you think...:)
