bmags Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I hope he can face some legitimate penaltys aside from financial and reputation. I hope I never see Lisa Bloom hired again. I remember reading the David Carr profile of Weinstein in High school and it just rolled off my back. He was responsible (and made sure everyone knew it) for funding so many of my favorite movies as a teenager, I was like, a big Weinstein fan. Was pissed when the miramax split happened. Anyway I read the Carr profile again this weekend (it was around twitter as a weird archive piece on New York mag I can't find right now), and it seems so obvious. That piece focused on his verbal and physical abuse (mostly of men). People whose sole worldview is to dominate those around them are going to carry that in every aspect of life. It's just gross and sad for those who get taken advantage of and fall through the cracks in someones search for power. Also, this is case in point why Gawker going bankrupt was bad because people like Weinstein is who Gawker was built for: http://defamer.gawker.com/tell-us-what-you...-sec-1695071092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I guess Emma Watson threatened to leave a movie if Harvey told another actress to lose weight. Paid off Rose McGowan to keep quiet about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are going to be a lot of studio execs a lot less media facing than Weinstein that are probably lawyering up right now, and I hope they don't succeed.

WTF Just watched an episode of One Mississippi where a studio guy did this exact thing in front of a woman. Wonder if they based it on this scumbag. I'm sure word got around that he was doing this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 He always had that look to me. A guy who if he made $50k a year, couldn't get any chicks.To me he always looked like a casting couch guy who did his fair share of blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, because these fools continue to do it, but i'm always amazed at the hubris, like this s*** wouldn't eventually come out? Even one event isn't acceptable, but perhaps he was a creep and took things too far or whatever, call it a one time mistake of your life. But 8 settlements? Come on. And the board of his company getting praise for ousting him. Where were they after settlement 2, 3, 4 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been several 1,000+ threads on Reddit condemning Streep. It's pretty common knowledge, or at least i thought so. Both Weinstein and Polanski are sexual predators. My post was pretty transparent. Nitpick if you will, but it's pretty dumb and pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that makes up for not reporting 13 years ago when they knew about other allegations. This will all blow over in 2 weeks, he will get "help" and avoid any punishment.
