Harvey Weinstein accused of multiple cases of sexual harassment

Critical mass of victims, plus a generally unlikeable guy.

BTW, Amber Tamblyn has claimed that James Wood propositioned her when she was 16 years old. He says she’s a liar. She wrote an op-ed of her own about her experience:

Hopefully the culture of permissiveness+silence is ending in that industry.

I’d be willing to bet good money that if the whole truth came out that it would make the Catholic Church scandal look like small potatoes.

Borowitz says he is unfit for any other job, so yes.

Not as long as he’s playing his “liberal lion” persona for all it’s worth to get off the hook for his bad behavior.

His statement references his intent to go after the N.R.A., which is apparently supposed to put him on the fast track to forgiveness.

No way. Fox News abusers never own up to their abuse.

It has only been removed from the walks of life where aren’t powerful men who think less powerful women will be happy to give in. See the Venture Capital Community. See American Apparel. See Uber. See Mark Hurd who got fired from HP for lying on expense reports as he hit in a PR woman (unsuccessfully) and then immediately got hired by Larry Ellison.

We’ve got a long way to go.

I guess this is an indictment of either his character or mine, but my first reaction when I read the allegations was, “Yeah, that seems about right”

A man who was described by Michelle Obama in 2013 as a “wonderful human being” and “a good friend” who visited the Obama White House 13 times. But then racist sexist bigots like her are sleazy by nature.

I don’t think it’s very constructive or useful to blame anyone, such a Ms. Obama, for being taken in by his false charm. Somehow this is her fault because…?

We’ve got a long way to go is very different from nothing will ever change, because huge changes have happened in relatively short periods of time.

What’s wrong with you?

Political potshots like this are way out of line in this forum, as you should be very well aware. Consider yourself Warned.

How hilarious is it that there’s a sexy model ad for Frederick’s of Hollywood just below the first post?

As for choosing between massage and watching him shower, I would choose the shower. During an opportune time, I would twist the tap all the way over for either blazing hot or freezing cold water. It’s hard to tell which with hotel taps.

Oh, for the days when turning the sink faucet on would turn a shower spray volcanic. You could make it look like an accident.

The casting couch, modern day version.

Yeah, because liberals would never engage in doing behavior. Harvey must be a we get Republican.

Next week: Whoopi Goldberg will explain that what Harvey did wasn’t really HARASSMENT harassment.

As long as the casting couch isn’t eliminated from porn, then I’m all for removing it from the mainstream.

I’ve read interviews with porn actors who say that they never faced a casting couch in the professional porn industry, but did when they tried to crossover to mainstream work.

Interesting but unsurprising. I was joking, obviously, about the fake casting couches used in porn…“It’s her first time!” and all that balderdash that absolutely nobody believes.

Doing behavior?

We get Republican?

I don’t understand how kids talk these days.

Come on … you know that there are people who believe it. These boards are my evidence that for any preposterous assertion, there are some people who will believe it. :slight_smile:

I believe that Fox News was mentioned not because it’s pro-Republican in its public views, but because in its internal work culture it’s pro-misogyny and pro-sexual-harrassment.
