my guess is that's what set her off a bit, maybe not bc Streep knew anything but that she must have been aware HW was at the very least a total bully and she still went out of her way to praise him. though i doubt that she never heard a single thing about him being a creep to women, tbh. McGowan might also be striking back against and venting about what she perceives to be the elite of Hollywood trampling all over those below them. which is accurate.

ok, stupid question.is anything going to actually happen to HW given all these revelations ? other than coming out of his supposed therapy/hiding in a few months.i realise his career is now f*cked, but surely there is enough to throw some legal gubbins at him.or, am i expecting too much too soon.

He and the company are being sued by I don't know how any people at this point. I don't know what happened with him recently meeting with the NYPD.

Two weeks after their abrupt suspensions, longtime WNYC hosts Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz have been fired. In a statement, spokesperson Jennifer Houlihan Roussel wrote “New York Public Radio has terminated the employment of Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz following two separate investigations overseen by outside counsel. These investigations found that each individual had violated our standards for providing an inclusive, appropriate, and respectful work environment.”

more on the WNYC firings... the in-house piece has accounts that certainly indicate "bad judgment" at a minimum.

yeah there's no honest way to know about the issues and come to the conclusion "you know who needs to be shamed for this? MERYL STREEP!" unless you're already gunning for her for other reasons. Which the dude who did this, by his own admission, was.

If I were the writer of that Newsweek piece, I might be annoyed at this amazing typo:
A day after Newsweek first contacted Microsoft for comment this week, an unknown number of Microsoft employees in Seattle received an email from Human Resources officials warning them: “Microsoft has been informed by the King County prosecutor’s office that they have obtained records in connection with a criminal enforcement activity related to a brother engaged in prostitution.”

This bit is an insane pivot
Two women told The Times about episodes involving Mike Germano, Vice’s chief digital officer who founded Carrot Creative, the digital ad agency that Vice acquired in 2013. Amanda Rue, a former strategist, said that at Carrot’s holiday party in 2012 Mr. Germano told her that he hadn’t wanted to hire her because he wanted to have sex with her....“Carrot has been repeatedly recognized as one of the industry’s best places to work, and I do not believe that these allegations reflect the company’s culture — or the way we treat each other,” Mr. Germano said in a statement.
