Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Bill OReiley, Matt Lauer to name a few, used their power and position to sexual harass and some even rape women. Tens of millions of dollars was paid out to shut the women up along with forcing them to sign contracts promising never to talk about it or face legal repercussions

"I had to do it, I was ordered to by my boss, it was his idea" This argument only works if you need the job to survive. But this is a high-level corporate executive, a mlllionaire. He didn't need this job hell he doesn't need any job. When something like this happens in your organisation and you are asked to do something corrupt and unethical, if it is within your power survival-wise to quit, you must do so. If you do not, any further pleas on your part about the chain of command etc are just blowing smoke. Ask the Nuremberg defendants. Article IV of the Nuremberg Principles spells it out.

The dopey host (or whoever briefed him) totally misunderstands Farrow's line about Noah Oppenheim not being the villain of the story. That line is dripping with sarcasm and comes after several paragraphs detailing precisely how Oppenheim was directly responsible, however much he pretended it wasn't his call to stop the story.

[@joshdrayton1230]

Oppenheim literally begs Farrow to publicly say he's not the villain - despite all the evidence to the contrary - so Farrow writes a sarcastic paragraph about how "the system" was to blame, then adds "Noah Oppenheim was not the villain". It's very funny.

[@sounsure9108]

Chelsea Sutton I was looking at a lot of stuff about it I would love to see some footage of frank and Ronan moving he is talking with his hands and that reminds me a tiny bit of woody. And then someone said look at mai’s dad famous film maker that John Farrow so there are photos on line. And that is who he looks like. Someone else suggested Previn mai’s second husband was actually his dad who I didn’t realize until a few days ago she has 3 biological older son with . But they are all dark and Eastern Europe looking and although there are not a lot of resent photos around as kid they don’t look like Ronan. So It really could be anyone. He once said Frank Sinatra could possibly be anyone’s father.

A question I have about the Me Too movement; If everyone behind the scenes knew the casting couch was open, how many women went onto the couch to buy their way into a part, with their eyes open knowing exactly what they were doing? If rumors are to be believed Marilyn Monroe orally smoothed her path to the top.

[@noniemac]

sailorbychoice1 Regardless of knowledge of the casting couch is irrelevant. It’s the fact that they were threatened with sex to get that part. Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, and many others used their position of power to manipulate these women. In other words what was said is give me sex or I will blacklist you from every studio in Hollywood or New York. To an up and coming actor, that was essentially death.

[@shpei88]

Way to completely miss the point. If a woman is told “this is the way it’s always been done and you won’t have a career if you don’t comply” and they choose their career over their dignity, that woman is still a victim and that man is still a sexual predator. Everyone wants to believe that unless a woman is physically held at knifepoint or gunpoint she is in control of her fate and that attitude just perpetuates the patriarchal system of oppression.

[@sailorbychoice1]

@@shpei88 There are many talented people who made it on their own talent. Many choose to walk away from the scene because _Show business_ has _Never_ been considered _a kind and loving profession._ There are also many who made it because they found an easier way. Sleazier, but easier. There have always been Weinsteins, before there was a Hollywood there were Weinsteins but only because there were those who were willing to sleep their way to the top. Show business people throughout history have rarely been known for their moral virtue.

[@noniemac]

shpei88 I didn’t miss the point however you made mine and I agree. My perception of your original post was that it is essentially the woman’s fault if they are assaulted by a studio executive because they knew this is what’s expected to get that part in a movie or television.

[@sailorbychoice1]

@@noniemac I was a child actor. On stage~ mostly, summer stock level theater, some TV, also played music, consistently working~ regionally. Big Fish in my tiny pond. In show business there are levels of famous. There came a point when several movies that turned out to be quite popular were being cast in my state capital just forty minutes from my house. I was at the point in my career when I needed to grow to the next level or do something else. I got invited to audition several times one year, and it was strongly implied that the casting director became quite friendly to those who liked to do _certain things,_ Being known to be heterosexual only increased the pressure because they liked _breaking in fresh meat._ I walked away from the business, but I know several who chose not to, some took the easy way, some did not~ but succeeded none the less. I find a bit of consolation in seeing that almost all of those who got their parts the wrong way did not sustain their career long.
