The ending is particularly good.
But the whispers don’t stop with these obvious, public examples. The same women who spoke among themselves about Harvey, about Terry, also speak about well-known actors who are not quite the loving family men their publicists would have you believe. Instead of a bathrobe, it’s a private meeting. Instead of a clumsy grope, it’s a “helpful” lingering brush of your breast. Instead of a disgusting proposition, it’s a greasy little implication that a few minutes together could lead to something better down the road.This is no longer black and white. It’s gray. And people don’t like gray, especially when it comes to sexual assault, which they really don’t want to be thinking about at all. They like their sexual assault clear, recognizable, and not committed by men who are America’s marital hall pass. Should these stories come out, the public’s response to the victims might not be nearly as supportive. But the fact remains, you can like someone very much and they can still be capable of terrible things. Unless Hollywood reconciles itself to the fact that not all sex criminals look like ogres, the question we should ask ourselves is what solidarity hashtag we’ll be using a year from now when nothing has changed.

Just cried reading the latest Farrow piece - Annabella Sciorra's story is heartbreaking. Rosie Perez though is a national treasure.
Also it can't be said enough but fuck Tarantino. He knew this happened to Mira Sorvino and Daryl Hannah, on separate occasions ten years apart. Yet he didn't think Weinstein had a serious problem.

According to this Matt Lauer interview...
FELDMAN: “I told the police. In fact if anyone wants to go back to 1993, when I was interviewed by the Santa Barbara Police Department. I sat there and gave them the names. They are on record. They have all of this information, but they were scanning Michael Jackson. All they cared about was trying about to find something on Michael Jackson.”LAUER: “Who you said, by the way, did not abuse you.”FELDMAN: “Who Michael was innocent. And that was what the interview was about with the pollice in 1993. I told them, he is not that guy. And they said, maybe you don’t understand your friend. And I said, no, I know the difference between pedophiles and somebody that is not a pedophile because I have been molested. Here’s the names, go investigate.

― Marcus Hiles Remains Steadfast About Planting Trees.jpg (DJP), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link
yeah my feeling is that there’s no way Feldman would proclaim the innocence of a child molester if he was being abused himself or knew MJ was abusing others. it just wouldn’t happen.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link
I can totally imagine Feldman not knowing about MJ abuse though, or just not wanting to believe it.
