@@AJ-xm4xc Is it? Is it really?

@@situated4 It should be.

Look at how many people were and are threatened to keep quiet with Trump. He's the big white whale that no one can capture. It's to the point he's bragging that he can get away with it.

Is secretary really a career?

I am sorry but I think the catholic Church has barely been held accountable for the years of sexual abuse they covered up, and thereby tolerated by moving pedophiles from parish to parish. I think all groups and persons need to be prosecuted at a high level until it becomes clear that sexual advances made from a unequal power structure are morally reprehensible. There is no excuse for rape or pedophilia

@@ARTPAINTING101 The entertainment industry gave the best picture award to the movie ‘Spotlight’ and in the acceptance speech for receiving the award talked about needing to bring justice to sex abuse of minors by the Catholic Church. This industry can literally state the rightful importance of prosecuting these egregious crimes while at the same time they are actively engaging in the same crimes. The abuses, exploitation and crimes committed by Bryan Singer and his ilk is in no way less worse than Weinstein nor the Catholic Church. Considering it was minors some would argue it is worse. It’s time the entertainment industry face at minimum the same criminal and civil prosecution. Politicians should also face the same justice considering Jeffrey Epstein. If government prosecutors prosecuted defrocked priests and clergy faced civil lawsuits, then so can actors, politicians etc. But considering not one abuser in the Maxwell case has actually been named, it’s extremely doubtful. The original argument wasn’t arguing that the Catholic Church was appropriately ‘held accountable’.

Cannot agree more with you. Hollywood is a hypocrite industry wherein self-interests, capitalism, among other issues are de rigoeur. Despite the proliferation of #MeToo movement and other trendy value-laden (eventually self-serving) advocacy (BLM, ALM, etc.), in the end money comes first, and values (if ever the business moguls think about it when thinking about the next project or "cultural product") are relegated to the minimum. Interestingly, "cancel culture" is a trend that is amplified by hypocrites.

Look at the Amish. Pandemic of abuse now coming out. Makes sense given the repressiveness of that cult

They were siIent because they too were part of the probIem. No matter how a powerful a man is, he cannot f.o.r.c.e you to accept a job whose conditions you dont like. Its up to you to say yes or no. HW used his position to make quid pro quo deals. As wrong as that is, its still not r..pe, nor a**auIt. These women too used him just as much to advance their career, and if that bad he was to them, why did they go back to him then for more encounters?!

@@GodisMyNo1 From the stories I heard the victims tell, it wasn’t quid pro quo, it was a traumatic consequence of the career opportunity they choose. They didn’t enter into the career opportunity knowing the sexual assault, etc. was a consequence. They didn’t consent.

@@mm7846 Of course they tell you their version to save face and buy remorse. But their own claims are contradicted by their own behaviour afterwards, by the lack of evidence and also by the evidence that shows they were in transactional consensual relationships. One should learn to question the stories one hears and ask for evidence, instead of believing it bIindIy

@@GodisMyNo1 People see others stories and process through there own life experiences. Perhaps you can’t believe their stories because of your own life experiences. Praying for you. 🙏

Probably because of the fact that some of these people knew that putting up with it was still worth the money they were making or would be making simply because they had worked for him or with him ...as compared to going through the same sexual harassment working at a place where they made almost no money ... ... sounds crazy but I could see some rationalizing it ... yes it's great if a person could work at a place where they don't have to deal with sexual harassment and if they especially can make a decent income .

How much money have you had, that no money is better?

I don’t believe a word that woman says.

As long as he made money and hits they didn't care and turned a blind eye.

@@alessandrawilliamsnyc Or the other 100 women who claimed the same thing? What they are all serial liars?

You sound very uneducated on how to produce a successful film like he did. He has extreme care and sensitivity not just in his heart but in the work. The producer also Picks the Director and he was a creative producer, meaning he had final cut and would make sure the movies were made to his liking.

Who to say he likes or loves them either!

I don’t believe he raped anyone. Every man was acting in appropriately to women. And women to men. It was very normal Until recently. So no, he’s more a product of his environment. He’s not a criminal. So you don’t have to follow in line with the opportunists making bank on his fall from grace. It’s very clear how much this is about money and nothing more.

@@alessandrawilliamsnyc I vehemently disagree. I only lived in LA for a short time but the stories of Harvey were very common. Any man who uses his position of power to assault women is a sex offender. End of.

@L G And vice-versa right?

You LIKE him so much?! LOL are you serious?! He is a prolific violent rapist. And a Mossad agent. America is so clueless.

I never thought about it like that

@@xgal2 😉 It's a reasonable summary.

You are a Genius! Finally, someone has the balls to put down that over inflated, puff of a movie.

He is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Are you in denial? This has always been known. His movies won 82 oscars.

@@alessandrawilliamsnyc He is a producer. He hires the writers, directors, editors, actors, lower level producers, and other people behind the camera who do the actual work of making the film. He is also an executive producer who finances the production of the films.

He was a big time producer. So yes, he was a filmmaker.

He didn't rape anyone either. He was convicted without the evidence, just because so many lies in the media created prejudice and pressure. It was a miscarriage of justice...

I know he didn’t rape anyone. Ken couldn’t be more of a disgusting man.

Two ways that turns out, you will either be very empathetic or else become the thing you hated. I don't know if there's an in between normal. 🤔

That's a stretch.....and a stupid one at that! Funny how liberals cheered and worshiped Harvey Weinstein for years!!

I worked in the biggest Law Firm in Hollywood for over 2 years in the middle of this hole scene. When I had an attorney who was on the entertainment floors in a big entertainment attorney works for the biggest record companies I mean they had the biggest people from Mick Jagger you name it even Ted Kennedy was one of their clients every actor you name Warren Beatty Jack Nicholson it was I won't name them but they were the one of the two largest in Hollywood. I had to sit on I was a floater I was a paralegal in a floater and I worked everywhere in that firm. I picked up the phone and I was covering 9th floor reception so the woman who was the receptionist there could go to lunch I pick up the phone and I hear a familiar voice which is one of the attorneys I knew in entertainment and he liked me and I and he said where the f*** is Friedman and I said this is I knew who it was and I said milk this is freaking and we're on the 9th floor and we don't swear on the 9th floor and I hung up on them nice what was corporate and they didn't swear. A few minutes later the elevator door opens up and it's melt and he's laughing he thought that was the funniest thing you'd ever heard and he just came up and went into the office of the other attorney didn't call back you just came up they were all swearing where the f*** is my secretary I mean I don't even want to repeat what they would say but they were all swearing they were all abusing it was the culture and it's years and years later and they decided to cut the head off of the snake the one thing about Harvey is that I would have been intimidated if I were an actress that I would never work again that he would mess with me if I didn't go along there are many men who weren't as powerful and they just did it too it was insane

Good one.

I sure hope so!

@@karenvincent5202 Are you referring to Trump??? If so that's laughable. What would be the specific crime? By the way how many BLM terrorists who did billions of dollars of property damage and were responsible for multiple deaths have been charged with any crimes. Answer, zero.

Because Jessica Barth, whom became both friends through the Ted movies, told him of her encounter with Weinstein.

@@mkfd4571 Seth is wealthy, only tangentially connected to the movies really, with his own power base. It was ballsy, but not terribly so

Excellent point!

I’m sorry I didn’t know we give Oscars to people based on their good behavior. I though it was based on their performance or the quality of someone’s work.

Me, too.

Over 250 men were publicly accused of misconduct. Only one is in jail. This is not justice it’s about brainwashing. Taking one man’s rights away as a human. Getting everyone to accept it by making him look like he deserves it. Once we all agree the amendments can be changed according to who you are, which just happened, is the beginning of the end of freedom in America. Shortly after, abortion rights are overruled. Harvey was just a test for the government to see if they can control you. And yes they won. So far.

It took buddy like 3 decades to get caught df

@@jon8004 I agree. That's my point. These people are fake activists. And virtue signalers. They didn't have a problem with it, until it became trendy to have a problem with it. Look at any of these "activists," and go back 20 years ago. How many of them were speaking out Harvey when he was at his peak? None.

@@jon8004 there's been proof. That's the point.

@@jon8004 it was public. That's the whole point. I wasn't in Hollyweird 20 years ago, and even I knew about casting couches.

@@jon8004 it was the worst kept secret in Hollyweird. If Harvey truly did hire secret agents, they did a horrible job lol. There were literally tons of jokes in mainstream media about it. 30 Rock made jokes about it, using Harvey Weinstein by name.

Sounds like y you're describing Trump as well.

Yes, but... At some point, when you really, actually, honestly *know* something is wrong/illegal, it is our duty as human beings to stand up and do the right thing. In my military career, if I knew of something wrong and failed to act, I was as culpable as the offender due to my inaction. And I don't see that as a bad thing.

Love Good Will Hunting but always felt that Damon and Affleck were creeps and know I know why

I blame them. Think if it was your sister or friend he was abusing and they knew and didn’t report it. They were selfish and cowardly not to.

I don't believe she's telling the truth, Harvey denied. No, she didn't go to the police, but she and her colleague found a lawyer - I read that she was a part-time law student at the time, so she knew what she was doing.... OF COURSE, the lawyer advised to ask for ''compensation'''... Harvey was married so he had no choice, even if relationship was consensual, he had to settle.... After 2017, when accusers were trying to negotiate the 'class action' settlement, the lawyer for her and her colleague wrote something suggesting that both of them were not sufficiently compensated back in the 90s... she and her colleague each got 125,000 GBP back in the 90s ... so looks like she wanted more money

Well...thats just nice !! Stay therer !

She divorced him swiftly after the case came out and took the children with her.

Not exactly how it happened. She actually stayed with Harvey in private but publicly left to save her company from going bankrupt. Because he wanted her to make sure she saved herself.

I believe he was referring to his attempt to disclose the abuse in 02...way before #Metoo.

The reporting on all Of this has been very sloppy. Nothing Ken said had any truth.

Miramax did. I won't debate how hands-on or what the production breakdown was.. but "Like Water for Chocolate" and "Cinema Paradiso" were both early foreign films brought into the mainstream by Miramax.
