It was potentially a very hazardous thing to do for his career to stand up to Harvey at that time and yet he did it because he felt like it was the right thing to do. It was very brave thing to do. All the celebrities that came out of the woodwork to slam Harvey did so only after there was a public outcry for his head. No bravery what so ever.

[@Lamtitude]

zam iel it was well known that Harvey Weinstein did really creepy things to women in Hollywood. No one really said anything because he had a lot of power and could make or break someone’s career. Also, no one is saying that everyone in Hollywood knew what he was doing, but there were definitely some people that knew what was going on and had heard the rumors and said nothing about it until the story broke. I don’t really blame them for staying quiet, but to act disgusted about it after the fact when some of them already knew something was going on is so weak minded.

I find it unbelievable that John/Jon, who was Harvey's assistant, didn't know that Harvey is who he is. And that nothing was ever said to Kevin, Ben, Matt, etc.

His hockey jersey bothers me, specifically the sleeve openings. This is obviously a goalie cut Jersey. And obviously that is a bad ass story good for him.

Red State was a good movie. Kevin Smith is an amazing screenwriter. Even his comedies feel so real and have an ability to lure you in 🙏👍

[@rebeccahoffman2430]

I'm so glad Kevin Smith told Weinstein off! I wish that was captured on camera. He needed to realize he wasn't the only one to actually make films.

[@samb1314]

I love that Harvey had such a high sense of self importance, now he’s fearing for his life in a maximum security prison. Hopefully receiving beatings regularly 😊

[@Dru_Won]

If you think Weinstein is being kept anywhere where he can be hurt by general population, that's not how prison works for celebrities. Rapists in general aren't kept with other inmates for the most part let alone someone like Weinstein

[@averyterribleperson5292]

yes yes locke him in ye olde dungeon, rehabilitation should only be for criminals we deem worthy, the rest are chaff and are disposable, right?

[@Luschan]

Regardless of whether he’s protected in prison or not, the true punishment for him is that his reputation as a human being is completely destroyed for the rest of his life. Not just in Hollywood, basically worldwide. His name has become synonymous with rape and cowardice.

[@himynameisowen]

Call me controversial, but you know, with Harvey Weinstein, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.

This is what happens when you stand up to bullies....because ultimately, bullies are cowards.

[@mikekennedy5879]

That is a very dangerous line. They are only cowards when facing someone more powerful than them. Kevin was brave because he had LESS power. He knew there was risk, but he did it anyway.

[@themonopolyguy8126]

Good for you Kevin. Sometimes, the high and mighty need to be put in their place and reminded that the world doesn't revolve around them.

[@funkogalleries8342]

[@psyphii]

Very disturbing to realize later that this would be a behavioral indicator of much worse behavior. Makes you think about other people who act the same way and what other disgusting things they are doing. The FBI calls it profiling, and it is eerily accurate.

[@simonmcnamee619]

Yep, page one of the FBI psych profiling manual reads: 'If someone talks during a film screening, it is a strong indicator that they are a serial rapist.'

[@WalterLiddy]

Actually, FBI profiling has never lead to a single successful arrest/conviction. Not one. It's widely considered nonsense by professional psychologists.

[@simonmcnamee619]

@@WalterLiddy That is patently untrue, FBI profiling has lead to a number of arrests; what is disputed is how useful it is for law enforcement and how accurate its profiling relative to other methods. It isn't used to convict people charged with crimes because you don't use profiling to win a conviction in court... Whatever can be said about the merits of profiling, your statement is incorrect.

Faced down God? More like faced down the devil.

[@krollgrend1888]

It is a perfect analogy. God is "Creator". Weinstein essentially created his career. Along with tons of other directors and actors. Even though he might be the Devil as a human. He still was the "God" of a lot of hollywood.

[@CanItAlready]

Krollgrend Funny thing is that in a more recent video where he talks about Weinstein, and what he learned about the man, Kevin Smith does refer to Weinstein as the devil.

[@grindhouserob]

Good for Kevin! I also learned too late in life that in order to put these overbearing and irreproachable people in their place - regardless of whether they're family, friends, neighbors or co-workers - is to get in their face and stand up to them.
