No doubt that along with the many innocent victims of Harvey Weinstein’s depredations, there are also many women who willingly prostituted themselves to Harvey Weinstein, to advance their careers and make make money.
In fact, many of the women in his movies who are not complaining, could well have willingly slept their way to the top. Some are probably well known. They may even resent losing the investment they made in cultivating Harvey Weinstein with their sexual favors, and fear being outed for the high-priced hookers that they are.
Like the dog that didn’t bark, those women Weinstein favored professionally, who don’t accuse him, are now suspect of having willingly participated in the corrupt bargain.
Yeah....Renee Zellwegger (sp) for one...that picture of her with her hand on Weinstein’s thigh says it all
Mind you, I really do not like the idea of using the behavior of dirtbags and the tears of actresses/the misfortune of an innocent as a weapon against an enemy (to quote another Freeper). Real men would take these losers out back and beat some sense into them. I am also a free market capitalist and I don't want to regulate anything unless it is in line with the intent of the Founders.
All that said, we're dealing with the lowest of the low. If the Republicans had any sense of testicular fortitude - or a desire to MAGA for ALL individuals - they'd call a press conference and say:
"Democrats are clearly pro-misogyny. Silence equals consent. They said nothing while one of their fundraisers roamed as a sexual predator in Hollywood.
"It is sad that the loudest Democrat since this story broke has been Hillary Clinton, as she acknowledged that the Oval Office has seen a sexual predator - her husband.
"The Republican leadership asks the Democrats to reject their harboring of anti-woman fundraisers, and join us as we announce the start of hearings on this poisonous atmosphere in Hollywood, with an eye toward regulating studios and actors and actresses under the Commerce Clause as so many Democrats have with other parts of the economy."
Others have noted that the Republicans likely have skeletons in their closet and there is a risk in this aproach. I agree, but maybe it's time to man-up and clean the Augean Stables. Frankly, I don't care if it's Hollywood or Wall Street or Main Street...this isn't the way real men act.
From Moses to St Joseph to men of fidelity throughout history, now is the time for Deplorables to reclaim the mantle of "compassion" from the statists, and expose their War on Women.
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?
