H. Weinstien and everything that is wrong about Hollywood and the Left.

Totally not shocked by this “revelation”. Casting couch rumors have been around since the beginning of Hollywood. It’s not surprising to hear that they actually exist. It’s also not surprising to hear that this one seems to have gone out of control. What is it that they say about power and corruption?

The hypocrisy is just icing on the cake. Both from the DNC and the “feminists” who apparently let bygones be bygones so long as the cash was good.

Hollywood actresses are just other players in many cases. If they really think some rich old power broker is going to make them rich and famous because "they are genuinely talented" they are delusional. People in Hollywood become famous because they are attractive and nice to look at when they "play pretend" on film.

The casting couch is hardly anything new and celebrities should keep in mind that somewhere some girl is doing exactly the same thing for a $20 dinner.

It's rather startling to me.
I mean, I get it, pay to play as it were; perhaps even somewhat expected, but if you look in to this a bit, it is much darker. You walk in the door ready to barter that's one thing, but when a seventeen year old girl is hustled up to a sixty year old guys hotel room?
Come on, there's billions at stake here and he was skating on some damn thin ice and all the while playing Patron to the Arts and Wallet to the Socialist Progressives. There are some pretty intriguing stories about grabbing women in front of their Boyfriends and Husbands, one guy standing up to him being shoved down a flight of stairs.
Surely they knew the writing was on the wall with this scum bag, why not take care of it before he takes down himself along with a billion dollar company?

The problem is that these people didn't have the money, influence and power to make anything stick alone and at the beginning of their careers. Why in the hell they didn't do anything about it until YEARS later AFTER someone else took the first steps for them, instead of once they were self established is beyond me.

The guys who knew Harvey and were happy to work with him are taking a beating now, a few of them have their own dirty laundry and that is being aired and revealed at a high rate of speed now.
Lots of homos not being named outright, but they're being called out.
The list of folks being called on bad behavior related to this is growing pretty quickly. The upside is they all seem to be major players for the DNC.....

Guys like this are always a major liability in any line of work. At a time when nothing is secret, they cannot be tolerated.

At least he didn't just drug them like Polanski did. Guy was married to Sharon Tate and still felt the need to drug and rape underage girls. I think it is just an environment that invites predatory scum bags, especially if they are running things and have the cash to get away with virtually anything.

Manhattan's DA is in hot water over taking bribes from Trump and Weinstein. Link.

The charges against Trump (or rather his children) were fraud. The charges against Weinstein are, well, what we're hearing about now: Sexual assault. The latter included an audio-recording of the actual event as it occurred.

In both cases, he received campaign donations from their lawyers and then larger donations after he decided not to prosecute.

Cyrus Vance, Jr, Esq - the DA in question - is a Democrat, and he's running unopposed for re-election this year.

The entire culture thrives on sexual abuse. Look at the way Polanski was celebrated while a fugitive on the run.

Hollywood is a place where anybody will do just about anything to get famous. Why didn't these women come out sooner? Remember Monica Lewinsky, before she went to the Washington Post, she had already hired a publicist, PR rep, lawyer. After she went public, she was given a 6 figure job at the pentagon, a $1 million dollar tell all deal, a autobiography book deal and was receiving upwards of $30k for interviews. Remember Linda Tripp? Monicas "close friend", who turned out to be an undercover "marketing and public relations agent" who also got paid close to $300k when it was all said and done.

Back to Harvey, I think a lot of these girls, considering the time frame that each of them has mentioned when certain actions took place took place around the time when they were between being background scenery and co-stars of films. Now women are saying that Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Ben Affleck and John Stewart has acted in a sexual harassing kind of way towards them. I do hope that this Harvey Weinstein case will bring down a lot of the liberal Hollywood elites.

But back to what I was saying, you throw celebrity status and money at a girl and she will get down on both knees and beg. Does Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Tela Tequila, Farrah Abraham, Amy Fisher, Chyna, Kate Ritchie, Kendra Wilkinson, Courtney Stodden, Keeley Hazel and the list goes on and on and on. These girls thought of the "sexual harassment" as business as most women do in this world. They will put up with it if it means getting them closer to the finish line. My god, just look at Instagram, Snapchat

You cannot tell me that Harvey Weinstein is the only one guilty, Hollywood is full of Harvey Weinstein's and full of girls wanting to be famous.

I have a friend who has modeled for Versace, Gucci, Burberry, Toni & Guy and others and he is now involved in a church outreach program because of what he saw in that world.
