DID. I. SAY. I. WAS. SURPRISED.?!










No really, I wasn't surprised. It made me smile.

After being criticised for their silence over allegations that stretched back over three decades, Hollywood stars are beginning to speak out against Harvey Weinstein.

The producer and film executive was fired from his own company on 8 October, following the publication of a report which accused him of sexually harassing female employees, actresses and journalists.

Directors of The Weinstein Company said "in light of new information about misconduct" his employment had been terminated "effective immediately".

The New York Times, which published the original story about the allegations against the movie mogul, also published a scathing piece about how major entertainment figures had refused to go on the record to criticise Weinstein.

Rose McGowan, one of the actresses who settled with Weinstein, wrote on Twitter last week: "Ladies of Hollywood, your silence is deafening."

Among those who have spoken out are Lena Dunham, Brie Larson, Judd Apatow, Jessica Chastain, Constance Wu, Roxane Gay, Mark Ruffalo and late night TV host John Oliver.

Apatow criticised Weinstein's statement in response to the allegations, which claimed he "came of age in the 60's and 70's, when all the rules about behaviour and workplaces were different".

The director tweeted: "The 70's were 37 years ago. You are blaming growing up in the 70's? You haven't picked up anything since then?"

Chastain, who has posted and retweeted several updates on the Weinstein case, wrote on 6 October: "Women are fighting against the 'Grab Them By The Pussy' normalisation & speaking up. It's never easy to be the first to go on record #Respect."

I took meetings at Weinstein. With other female execs. But every single time I’d hear “as long as you aren’t meeting with Harvey, you’ll be fine.” That’s our reality.

To be clear what Harvey Weinstein did was a disgusting abuse of power and horrible. I hope we are now seeing the beginning of the end of these abuses.

Allegations against Weinstein include asking a British journalist to have a bath with him at his hotel when she arrived for a business meeting, and masturbating in front of a former Fox News reporter after cornering her in a restaurant.

In a statement to the New York Times he said: "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologise for it. Though I'm trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go."

Lisa Bloom, a lawyer acting for the producer, said he "denies many of the accusations as patently false". She has since resigned as his adviser following criticism given her past work with victims of sexual harassment, including from her mother, Gloria Allred.

Weinstein's removal from The Weinstein Company will leave it in the control of his brother, Bob Weinstein, along with chief operating officer David Glasser.

STREEPS!!

I just love how these "brave" celebrities are speaking out now, and how the "brave" board of directors fired him once this became public. Never mind that all these same people knew about it for years and said nothing in the interest of self preservation.

Nice to see Ben can stand up against sexual harassment and abuse now. Seems like he's been pretty silent on his own brother's abuse and harassment allegations.

Thread: Obviously not a sexual harassment anecdote, but I will offer up my singular memory of a meeting with Harvey Weinstein. I met him...

...in the hope of making a deal to write a script on material for which Weinstein held the option. I was in the room with him and two...

...young assistants. As the meeting progressed, he began to tell me that despite what I had probably had heard, his bark was worse than..

...his bite and should we proceed with the script work, I would find that he was a good collaborator and open to compromise. At that point..

...one of the younger subordinates piped up to affirm that this was true and that Weinstein was a good collaborator. At that point...

...the man wheeled on his assistant and told him, "I was talking and you really need to shut the fuck up. I don't need to hear your..."

"...fucking voice in this meeting." Weinstein then returned to assuring me of his easy-going ways. The meeting concluded thereafter.

now the rats come out to play.

I kinda like how its just FIRE on Weinstein season now.


Hillary just released a shocked and appalled blah blah blah statement.

But this guy...

Yeah, no kidding. I don't believe people like Affleck and Streep had no idea Weinstein had been doing this. They can all cram it with walnuts.

And every Trump voter knew he was a pussy grabber. So EVERYBODY can CRAM IT

The NY Times article said Seth McFarlane made a wise crack about it at the Oscars in 2013. This looks to be widely known.

Big fundraiser for the Clintons and Obama. Ouch.

What happened to all the accusers of Trump? Do we just not care about them anymore because Clinton lost the election? Shouldn't this still be a huge story?

relatively good point. that's why I didn't vote for him (and also because he is insane)

McFarlane's reference was four years ago and the 30 Rock reference had to have been longer ago than that.

I'm surprised Streep didn't film her statement from a fainting couch and Affleck his while getting into his Batman suit.

All the way back to Jack Warner, Sam Goldwyn & Howard Hughes

Heck, in the Godfather it is made clear that Jack Woltz is a pedophile who preys upon his child stars. This is explicitly stated in the book. The film had a deleted scene which made it clear as well, but instead they chose to hint to it in the final cut of the film rather than outright show it.

Please don't refer to that dope as "my guy".

I don't know what happened. It sure as hell should be covered though. It seems like the media lost interest as soon as the accusers couldn't help Clinton win the election.
