iirc she mentioned they were underage in the thing posted above?

The guy has principles after all.

I mean ... what confirmation do you need re: Singer? Same as Weinstein, he’s a powerful. Nothing ever ends up on an official record, there’s just a mounting body of anecdotes that eventually snowball into an irrefutable awareness of behaviors r. And I *know* people who, first hand, report on Singer. Like Weinstein or Cosby or Ailes, nobody saw anything too damning, nothing that can’t be waved away away by a superpowered legal team, and there are always implied to be credibility problems with the people stepping forward.

there are always implied to be credibility problems with the people stepping forward.

"Today, in a stunning coincidence, fifty women who do not know one another came forward with shockingly similar stories about the predatory sexual behavior of a powerful man. In a statement issued by the man's lawyer, the women were all said to be lying, for reasons that will become apparent once they've had time to study the situation in greater detail."

The sense I'm getting around town is that people are feeling empowered to come forward about other people now. One example is a friend of a friend whose wife worked at UTA as an assistant and was sexually harassed by the agent she worked for. She went to HR with evidence (lewd and disgusting texts, and so on.) the head of HR there told her, "we're not here for your pity party."

This revelation was in response to the head of UTA releasing a statement talking BS about how shocked and appalled he was etc...

Bob has things to say.

“No you’re here to create an illusion that the company is a responsible workplace.”

Sorry, missed that it was already discussed.

Emma Thompson - one of the more radical prime-time interviews I've ever seen.

Radical would not have been "we need more women in power," it would be "power differentials this great must be destroyed."

a bit fucked up that sagemiller mentioned charlize and zellweger by name, a million times more fucked up that huffpo didn't blank them out

even if harvey was lying, none of the names of women who did or didn't sleep with him should be made public without their permission

i went to the reddit thread on r/movies on this after the NYT story initially came out to see their reactions bc i hate myself, and it immediately turned into a witch hunt over which ones were "harvey's girls"

a lot of people are just as hungry to hate the women he successfully manipulated as they are him

Oh good a strong leftist man is here to tell us what the barriers to entry are for radical

are you serious

that huffpo article also includes a fun "representatives for theron and zellweger have not responded to us" disclaimer as if they're both under trial too

^^ This is where Clooney’s comments seemed on the mark: that he had heard stories, but they were mostly shared to knock the talent of the actors (“slept her way up”), not to damn Harvey. Certainly heard that about some of the 90s stars in the past.

He may not have hit on him then, but the one he did hit on and was rejected by is now the name we’ve never heard of.

specifically said it was on huffpo to redact the names but if you think names of women accused of sleeping with harvey are good to publish without their consent idk what to tell you, this is pretty basic shit xp

ok lol tombot if you were referring to that twitter post and not me i'm sorry i got livid for a second, if you were referring to me fuck off

oh now i see the simon post, forgot you hated each other, ignore me

enh "more female studio heads" isn't a *wrong* solution just an insufficient one. I don't hate anyone, just the discourse more generally

The solution is forced castration obv

I don’t hate anyone here either tbf, I’m just a dick.

same, <3 you all, saving my hate for capitalist hetero-patriarchy

i hate all of you

i hate myself

I hate the world, and any god that exists

Good talk

Sarah Polley OTM now and always:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/14/opinion/sunday/harvey-weinstein-sarah-polley.html

I hate myself for thinking of "Withnail and I", wiki you take over...

Early in the film, Withnail reads from an article headlined "Boy Lands Plum Role For Top Italian Director" and then goes on to imply that the director is sexually abusing the boy. This is a reference to the sexual harassment that Robinson alleges he suffered at the hands of Italian director Franco Zeffirelli when, as a young man, he won the role of Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet.[6]

fuck, i didnt know abt that :/

Withnail: [looking at a newspaper] Look at this little bastard. Boy lands plumb role for top Italian director. Of course he does. Probably on a tenner a day and I know what for: Two pound ten a tit and a fiver for his arse.

Sarah Polley OTM now and always
otm

xpost seen Withnail a million times & never knew the story behind it

Fuck.

Funny, I thought that was well known -- I've read at least one interview years back with Robinson where he casually mentions that.

Oh yeah, I thought everyone knew about that, I'm not sure I buy the theory that Monty is based on Zeffirelli though.

mila kunis popped up in some of the stories - though not as a participant, weinstein using her name a few times in his traps. dude was obsessed with her?

Love her xp

Bjork on her FB page an hour ago...

i am inspired by the women everywhere who are speaking up online to tell about my experience with a danish director . because i come from a country that is one of the worlds place closest to equality between the sexes and at the time i came from position of strength in the music world with hard earned independence , it was extremely clear to me when i walked into the actresses profession that my humiliation and role as a lesser sexually harassed being was the norm and set in stone with the director and a staff of dozens who enabled it and encouraged it . i became aware of that it is a universal thing that a director can touch and harass his actresses at will and the institution of film allows it . when i turned the director down repeatedly he sulked and punished me and created for his team an impressive net of illusion where i was framed as the difficult one . because of my strength , my great team and because i had nothing to loose having no ambitions in the acting world , i walked away from it and recovered in a years time . i am worried though that other actresses working with the same man did not . the director was fully aware of this game and i am sure of that the film he made after was based on his experiences with me . because i was the first one that stood up to him and didn't let him get away with it

and in my opinion he had a more fair and meaningful relationship with his actresses after my confrontation so there is hope

let's hope this statement supports the actresses and actors all over

let's stop this

there is a wave of change in the world

kindness

Lars von Trier?

Indeed

good for Bjork, though it's a little odd to not name names there when everyone knows who she's talking about.

It was clear she had a horrible experience with him as soon as that film came out, but sexual harassment wasn't really called out at the time.
