I can see hundreds if not thousands of people in film, music, TV and even in general business absolutely shitting themselves at the minute.
Some of the stuff coming out is borderline insane, wanking into a plant pot in a hotel corridor?
Blaming the victims and accusing people with depression of trying to get some publicity. You're having a great day.Interesting conversation earlier today on LBC about this. How much suffering, misery and pain could have been avoided if those first abused by Weinstein would have came out at the time and outed him for the monster he is? IMO, the women who have kept their silence for 20+ years also have an awful lot to answer for.

He’s a piece of shit. Same goes for Palanski and Woody Allen. They’ll be others too.
Michael Doyle's life.I just don't see the thrill of it (from a blokes point of view). Can't think of anything more offputting than somebody stood there petrified of you.
(with the caveat that innocent until proven guilty must still apply)Just like all those kids who never spoke out about Jimmy Saville hey?
They were all victims and conditioned to be so not just by Weinstein but also the establishment that they worked in. They’ve got nothing to answer for or feel guilty about. If he couldn’t target women who he thought he could control to keep quiet he wouldn’t have done it. He thought he was untouchable and so did his victims. I’m just glad some found the courage to come out about it and others then also found the courage to follow. Hopefully all his victims will find that strength and he spends the rest of his natural life in prison and loses everything in the process.
It’s a very slippery slope to start blaming victims.
Yep. I would say all the women who kept silent for 20 plus years have absolutely nothing to answer for.Just like all those kids who never spoke out about Jimmy Saville hey?

To think someone could just end your career in the blink of an eye and who held such power in the industry.
The fact that it has taken 20 plus years just shows you how powerful this man truly was.
So stand up for what is right, but only if it will not impact your career?
A lot of the up-and-coming actresses he abused have long since become widely-known names - why are they only telling their stories now?
The fact that so many people knew shows just how powerful this man was and how futile speaking out against him would have been.
Nobody's right in the head who does things like that... but it's usually around power and control.What I can't get my head around is why he didn't just have 10 escorts round in his hot tub at a time, rather than trying to force people into things. Obviously not wired up right in the slightest.
How is that legal. America get more insane by the day.He signed a contract a few years back that allows for him to be sued for sexual harassment and not be fired so long as he keeps paying the costs. Fucking hell.
Have you seen the "only in America" threadHow is that legal. America get more insane by the day.
It's Jimmy Savile all over again. The powerful get away with murder because they pay people off or people are too scared to report what happens.
This guy used to greet potential actresses wearing only a towel and ask them for a massage - and he got away with it for years!
This sort of thing is endemic in Hollywood. And yet everyone has to be so politically correct to please them.
The sight of Hilary Clinton trying to distance herself from him was pretty funny
she's got a thing for sexual predators
She married one and was happy with it
I don't think you understood my point, or maybe I made it poorly.I think this is about as far from so called political correctness as it's possible to get. I agree with the rest of your post though.
