[en.wikipedia.org/…/Harvey\_Weinstein\_sexual\_misconduct\_alleg…:](http://en.wikipedia.org/%E2%80%A6/Harvey_Weinstein_sexual_misconduct_alleg%E2%80%A6:) nearly 60 have come forward against this guy. I’m not convinced aIl of these women are actual victims. This is because there’s the chance of fame and $ from a lawsuit. So, which women do you think might be making the accusations up? I am going from the angle of don’t believe everything you see or hear. Let’s say the NY Times article from 2 weeks that initiated this controversy wasn’t written. Would any of these women have come forward at all? It’s possible that some are just jumping on the band wagon.
