@Trev I am also of the firm belief that the ambitious young ladies were not Snow White's as they climbed. Paltrow in particular, a dull actress who managed to corner the plum role of Shakespeare in Love with a threadbare resume and then went on to a series of unforgettable roles that catapulted her to the banal supporting role of Pepper Potts in Iron Man provides compelling evidence. As far as our "macho actors" (Pitt, Di Caprio, DiNero et all) dealing with Alpha Weinstein, they cowered before him, looked the other way and look at their careers. I understand "men" nothing personal, just business.

I once dated a girl in Hollywood who had basically been taken advantage of by a producer. The thing is, these producers chum up to them in a friendly way, charm them in, make them feel comfortable and safe enough to hang out wherever with the producer, all under the guise that it's just a friendship or a professional discussion, and the producer just wants to help them... and let's face it, these gorgeous young 21 year old women are little naive girls still, with big dreams but not great judgment or logic skills yet developed... so they're perfect victims. Once they've been lured into the spider's web (or house or office or hotel), it's hard for them to get back out with their dignity completely intact. It's a horrible situation for them, and incredibly awkward, because this guy they thought was a caring or helpful professional ally for them is now standing in a robe in front of them pleading for a massage or something... And these girls truly believe that THAT moment could maybe determine the rest of their lives, and their career. While it is easy to sit back and judge them, it's a really tough spot to be put in, and no matter how they choose to handle it, there is no justifying that behavior on the producer's part.

[@TheFlightofthewalrus]

MolecularMoonlight I was just trying to say that sometimes older, more experienced adults take advantage of young people who are more naive.

[@lynb2039]

The women who didnt refuse Weinstein's advances and/or walk out, or immediately report against him are no different than Weinstein. They didn't report because they WANTED something from him: a contract, money, a specific role, or favors such as wine n' dine, or introductions to other powerful Hollywood people. See the same women in photos who continue to court his favors AFTER an unwanted solicitation by him has occurred? See them smiling in his presence or even arm in arm? These women WANTED fame or attention or media coverage for themselves; they acquired status and opportunities by enabling themselves to be in his presence, attend his parties, take photographs with him, sign contracts with him, etc. Weinstein WANTED something from these women too; both parties in all cases WANT something. but WANTING is not a crime. Pleading, negotiating, asking, begging, hoping, desiring, wishing is not a crime. All of these women were ADULTS, had reached the age of CONSENT, at the time of Weinstein's solicitations - they all had a responsibility...to themselves. What moral fabric am I made of? We all are faced daily with solicitations that test our value system. Multiple kinds of solicitation from multiple type of people, at any given time. Some women refused or departed and may feel shame for the context, but should feel no guilt. Others, who failed to live up to what they believed in, thus feel guilty or ashamed for the acts they performed. However, NONE of these women were ever put under duress or threatened with violence. They were adults, they had free will, they had their upbringing and individual moral foundation and they ACTED based on these components. They WANTED something from Weinstein and Weinstein WANTED something from them; that is what they share. The character of all of the women who participated in a sexual act, even though they may have said, "I said no no," or "No, I dont want to" are consciously flawed, and they have no merit, to now come foward to accuse Weinstein. Did he have armed.guards present? Were they drugged? No. As despicable as I think Weinstein is, unless he actially raped a woman, or used mechanisms such as drugs or duress to rend the women incapable of making rational decisions, then he is NOT GUILTY. This is the law and it is proper. Mmm, k?

It was a tv presenter role after all.

Sexual harassment happens everywhere. As a federal employee, I was sexually harassed by an Executive, whom I met when he made me project leader for a fundraiser of his. I was followed off base, flagged to pull over, said he had something to tell me, said it would be quick so it's okay to get back into my car, he opened the passenger door without asking and got in, it was very odd, and aggressive behavior, but i wasn't alarmed, until he began forcing me to kiss him and touching me everywhere, we were struggling but he was stronger than I am, and he got mad because i was fighting him and wouldn't give him my panties. I almost had the door open, and that's when he stopped. he kept apologizing, and walking by my desk on my floor, getting on my instant message, after i constantly kept deleting him. he showed up at my house, not sure how he got my address, guessing from my fundraising project we all did together or my resume because him being so high up and for over 20 years, he kept promising to help me get my resume cleaned up and promoted.. my storm door was locked, thank god. and he knocked for 30 min, sat in his car for another 15, and called my cell phone over an over again. he drove off and came back 10 min later, but called all night, i had to turn my phone off. he left me alone for months, and asked me if I still interested in moving up and getting my resume cleaned up. he knew someone who has a position i would be good for. i said, only if others are around and never alone, not off base, here in the bldg. during ofc hours. he agreed. i went to his office, and stood right inside his door, asked about the job and resume. he asked me to close the door, i refused. he asked me to have a seat, I refused. he next walked over to me with my resume in hand as if to show it to me, but quickly sidestepped me and closed his office door. it happened so fast. I never saw it coming in time to stop him. when i realized, i said, no, don't shut that door. needless to say, things did not bode well for me. I wanted a promotion, I knew he had connections and pull, i kept thinking, maybe he really means it when he says he's going to help me. but I was wrong. someone with his power within our organization, I knew I didn't want as an enemy. I knew I didn't want to report him and have everyone turn against me in the bldg, and treat me as if I have the plague. I also didn't report it because how could I explain, why I pulled over, or why I went to his ofc? I didn't want to be painted as a whore or that I brought it on myself. So i didn't do anything and I'm careful to avoid him. anyway, my point is sexual harassment does happen, but it's not all men.

@@code0Star okay my point still stands and you’re proving it. It’s sad to see how ignorant and hurtful some people can be without knowing it. We chose what we want to believe in this case because the facts are all there, and all the facts about this case are all there and yet you still decided to pose this question. You can’t speak firmly on this because you are clearly not seeing the big picture 1. There is no “how to speak up about your abuse when it happens” manual. Not every woman/man is going to speak up about it at first because not every woman/man feels the same about the abuse. Not every woman/man will emotional and mentally handle something like this the EXACT way. For example, one person might hide it until years later because of embarrassment and self hatred. Someone else might speak up about it to someone right away because they cannot fathom what occurred, etc. Fear of judgement and people questioning your story, when time and time again there is always that crowd of people that immediately defend a rapist, fear of being labeled, etc. 2. It’s always a lot more comfortable to do something hard when you aren’t alone. What I mean is, all the women who were raped or assaulted by Harvey, hid it for different reasons. Which in the end should change nothing. They would have never have had to take a deal, stay quiet, or wait for the one brave soldier to provide a safe place for women to get their justice. if their environment weren’t so corrupt, they wouldn’t have to wait. The more effort you give to seeing everything about this for what it really is, you wouldn’t look ignorant in the comment section

In my opinion, she didn't need his influence at all. She's from very well connected Hollywood roots, with mom Blythe Danner a very famous and respected actress, and her dad, Bruce Paltrow was also a producer. She had plenty of insider connections and ties whether she sucked up to Harvey Weinstein or not. She was not some wide eyed kid from Iowa getting off the bus in Hollywood or Sunset Blvd. She was gonna have a career regardless, so I totally don't understand why she would pose in photos with him looking so happy and all that, if she felt about him as she says she does.

[@juliasturenino7184]

This is such a disappointing response. A person's experience of sexual harassment/ abuse must be unimaginably scarring and their reaction is NOT for anyone to judge. many victims of abuse do not come out years after for fear and emotional trauma. Also, many women most likely felt powerless and voiceless at the time. You have to understand that society even 20, 15 years ago was not the one it is today! This is not a case of fame and riches. Many women who Weinstein assaulted and abused were ordinary working people, and aspiring artists whose dreams and careers he crushed through his disgusting acts. They were likely afraid to come out against him for the exact same reasons! Let's all learn to be empathetic rather than judging these brave women who had the courage to finally speak out

[@saygrrr]

@@juliasturenino7184 Brave women? That's a laugh... most of them went along with it so they could become rich and opened the door for Weinstein to do the same to hundreds of other women.

Should these men not have protected future victims and held that pig to account by reporting him? YES. OF COURSE. But no, other women now have to shame other female victims too. That's the culture that is being encouraged here. And I would never want to undermine any individuals experience of assault or rape, but also can we just have more empathy! As women, let us not beat other women down. and stop with this 'REAL' rhetoric.

Why did so many of these women waited until after they got their Oscars to say anything to anyone?

[@fencefriend]

Those of the covenant who bring a charge against their neighbor without REPROOF BEFORE WITNESSES are GUILTY of taking vengence in place of Hashem. Paltrow knew things about Weinstein, she did not come forward to reprove the perpetrator before witnesses, permitting the sinning to continue. Paltrow is thus by Halacha (and common law) an ACCESSORY TO THE CRIME. Then, knowing who this man was, Paltrow nonetheless made business with him to further her own career, which brought success to herself and Weinstein, thus empowering him to sin even more, while Paltrow watched him sin upon others in silence.

[@lynb2039]

Agreed. The women who didnt refuse Weinstein's advances and/or walk out, or immediately report against him are no different than Weinstein. They didn't report because they WANTED something from him: a contract, money, a specific role, or favors such as wine n' dine, or introductions to other powerful Hollywood people. See the same women in photos who continue to court his favors AFTER an unwanted solicitation by him has occurred? See them smiling in his presence or even arm in arm? These women WANTED fame or attention or media coverage for themselves; they acquired status and opportunities by enabling themselves to be in his presence, attend his parties, take photographs with him, sign contracts with him, etc. Weinstein WANTED something from these women too; both parties in all cases WANT something. but WANTING is not a crime. Pleading, negotiating, asking, begging, hoping, desiring, wishing is not a crime. All of these women were ADULTS, had reached the age of CONSENT, at the time of Weinstein's solicitations - they all had a responsibility...to themselves. What moral fabric am I made of? We all are faced daily with solicitations that test our value system. Multiple kinds of solicitation from multiple type of people, at any given time. Some women refused or departed and may feel shame for the context, but should feel no guilt. Others, who failed to live up to what they believed in, thus feel guilty or ashamed for the acts they performed. However, NONE of these women were ever put under duress or threatened with violence. They were adults, they had free will, they had their upbringing and individual moral foundation and they ACTED based on these components. They WANTED something from Weinstein and Weinstein WANTED something from them; that is what they share. The character of all of the women who participated in a sexual act, even though they may have said, "I said no no," or "No, I dont want to" are consciously flawed, and they have no merit, to now come foward to accuse Weinstein. Did he have armed.guards present? Were they drugged? No. As despicable as I think Weinstein is, unless he actially raped a woman, or used mechanisms such as drugs or duress to rend the women incapable of making rational decisions, then he is NOT GUILTY. This is the law and it is proper. Mmm, k?

But this Weinstein guy did force and black mail and harrass and search out victims. Seems there's something not right about the punishment handed out ?
