[@Intactisin]

In case you don’t want to watch the whole interview. They don’t know.

[@theawecabinet]

Thanks. I owe you 9 mins.

[@hannahroquemore7992]

Thanks.

[@stl3556]

Thanks. I'm at the 1min mark & can leave now

[@yagorules]

hahhahha

[@whitegateblair]

Not all heros wear capes. Thank you

[@denvernaicker8250]

Merryl's answers towards the end were brilliant

[@joycewong1700]

I love how Tom Hanks politely points out the bleeding obvious to the reporter - you haven't asked an actual question, you've made a statement. So many reporters do that in interviews and it's incredibly annoying.

[@tomwebber9377]

I love to see actors being themselves. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks give a very honest interview here. They articulate very well and show that they have the knowledge and the vocabulary to get their point across. These are two of my favorite actors in the world because they are both so amazingly well spoken and well read.

[@SusanLawrence-bp7df]

@tomeebber9377 all do respect they are spewing bullshit and are not being themselves. Meryl Streep in an acceptance speech that Weinstein - referred to him as “ God” - she is a hypocrite actor

[@googleyeyed5814]

The two classiest actors in Hollywood.

[@Potterheadve]

It must be amazing for a journalist to interview these two legends. what an honor i mean. good job

[@williamrestrepo7244]

It is impossible to define which of them is grater. As artist and as persons. Amazing pair!!!!

[@sgrotheer4]

Wow, surprised by the comments. I personally enjoy actors that have well articulated opinions and can speak, get involved in politics and help influence the direction of our country. All of us should be involved and actors are no different.

[@Lily2Anna]

We're all citizens and politicians should work for us, not the other way around. Yes I love these actors as well, we are bombarded by cardashians and all the rubbish daily..

[@christopher3386]

And your contribution to being involved is by posting a comment on KZbin. Well done.

[@lilsamantha1]

Can I just say that tom hanks face expresions are priceless... he is just like is she serious?

[@melaniexoxo]

I honestly don’t pay much attention to celebrities but I really enjoyed this interview. Love them both.

[@ccnutmilk13]

Meryl’s answers are marvellous ✨✨✨

[@margalitvanbergen6620]

Very articulate🌹

[@smacbot]

It's not her fault- why should she be the one who has to reveal it? I imagine that if he were to discuss it with people, it would have been men, with this 'locker room talk'... Why do women keep getting most of the criticism for not talking about other people's experiences? Tom Hanks might have known, but he isn't asked that

[@sarahpenna262]

JVS Totally agree ..... It's called BACKLASH & the evil engineers behind it will be keeping this accusatory MO ( targeted at women like Meryl ) up for months , months & months to ensure the Me Too' movement doesn't grow legs . It's an age old formula which has worked successfully in the past to silence & control women into keeping quiet . Let's hope the anger and fervour we are witnessing this time around prevents the issue from being swept under the carpet . Let's wait and see how many roles suddenly WON'T be offered to those who have stuck their heads above the parapet .... Backlash 101 is beginning

[@JulyN78]

Tom Hanks is a classy man. When asked about the salary, the answer was so simple, so obvious, and so correct. Like if every body else thought like him - when we know that's not the case. 'Well, she worked more than me, more hours, so she should be paid more'. Simple, direct and obvious observation. Unfortunately not everybody thinks simple, direct and obvious. But I'm glad he does. It's a start.

[@Picnicl]

Well can we have the same reasoning towards female tennis players who think that they should be paid the same despite not playing as many sets as men?

[@JulyN78]

Picnicl entertainment wise, in sports, I do think women should be paid for the attention they brought, combined with how much they work. Let me explica it. Sports need sponsorships. And this are brought depending on how many people go see or enjoy you playing. So, I do think athletes that, for whatever reason, can get more attention from the public should win more. Sponsorship is one part of it. There is the salary of the categories. That one should be equal and should be based on how many hours you play the sports. So, a man playing more tournaments should win more, for sure. In movies I guess that's the same. There should be the basic payiment, respecting the hours made, and sponsorship deeds, cause, let's face it, a Merry Streep takes a lot more people to the movies than a Gerald Butler, for exemple. So, it's only fair she makes more money than him. She produces more...

[@kristianeriksson9164]

I don't necessarily agree with you on their pay. There are more things one has to take into account than just hours worked. In movies like this one, the casting director does not want an actor, he/she wants Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. So sure, their pay should be based on their screentime, but also criteria such as: how famous and how good is the actor. Now, it is not up to me to decide how famous Meryl Streep is compared to Tom Hanks, or how good Meryl is at acting compared to Tom, that is up to the movie-goers. So the casting director's job is to evaluate how much the actor is contributing to the movie and then base the salary on that. Of course I believe men and women should have equal pay, but it is important to remember that there are other factors then amount of hours spent which should determine someone's salary.

[@JulyN78]

Kristian Eriksson I Just considere sponsorship in my previous answer, before yours... Go read it. The point is, Merry Streep makes less money than Jack Nicholson - putting someone I think is the same caliber compared to her - and has less opportunities to work than he. Women are discarted when they get old. Men don't. That's a reality we have to face and address. Merryl alone can make mullins cause she has a fan base to keep people going to the movies. So, yeah, she should be paid more. But that is a paynment based on results, not the work it self. There should be a base per hour that should respect for both women and Men in all cathegories, and unfortunately there is none. So, the hour of a George Clooney in gravity is more valueble than Sandra Bullock's?!? Why?!? I guess there has to be some base for salary that would work for evybody, and sponsorship should be paid then after the results - money made on theatre releases.

[@JulyN78]

Kris Shaw By your logic a doctor should be paid the same as a house keeper... You are talking different cathegories of workers, right?!? Orelse for you it's just ok to have a kidney removed by a butcher... Should I apply that logic to you, by your comment?!? Apparently the capacity of thinking is really a rare quality from Tom Hanks alone. He should be paid more just for that, Jesus.

[@Metalcomedienne]

Two of my great role models. Would love to act with them one of these days.

[@brettaanderson1999]

I love them omg

[@sukanyasabarish7758]

Great interview

[@heithg]

Teach Meryl! Sexual harassment is not about flirtation. It is the use of manipulative power by one individual over another.

[@louisericketts6738]

heithg surely thats more or less what she was saying.

[@felicitythomson3397]

Brilliant interview

[@NiVi192]

That seems to be the big major problem in this whole scenario: Nobody knows, nobody informs, *nobody asks* ...! Most of the time co-stars don't even know! Unbelievable!!

[@montythebruce8460]

That's because she's Meryl fuckin Streep. She's worth the money because she's mastered her craft and is worth every cent.

[@aprilwearsgucci]

*I love this woman since forever. I'm a Hank fan also. Both are legends. Great interview. I also think that it's not fair that Meryl is taking the heat for Weinstein sexual misconduct.The only reason she's being attack in the media is because of her GG speech last year.*

[@christopherrembert6356]

aprilwearsgucci she applauded Roman Polanski and called Harvey Weinstein a god

[@zdelany6963]

totally agree....

[@georgesaparis5170]

aprilwearsgucci I believe that all these posters and this “campaign” is to ruin her chances at the Oscars this year!! Oscars is just politics nowadays and if a potential nominee loses her/his credibility then he/she won’t get nominated

[@angelacarleton9575]

The actress from the past should not be criticized for not coming forward because it was the "NORM" not to speak about things that have been going on for more decades that can be told. Those women that have to work under sexual pressure and put in situations is not new - however, we shouldn't keep knocking them down for not coming forward before. We must concentrate on the present and see how things can improve for the women in the entertainment business and throughout our country.

[@liv97497]

Stimulator7 because no matter what happens, women always end up being blamed for men's shitty behavior.

[@MBEspinosa]

Expresan claramente ideas respetables. No tienen obligación de perder tiempo en entrevistas públicas. Me parece que brindan sus opiniones como forma de apoyo para equilibrar las situaciones de enorme desigualdad que atraviesan nuestra sociedad.

[@barbarareding1470]

Tom looks like he’s having a bowel movement.

[@yokie52]

Check out the clip of him on Graham Norton Show when he is looking at a stamp...his hands are shaking...he does have diabetes...hope it's just a blood sugar issue and nothing more serious.

[@MBEspinosa]

Lo tuyo es una crueldad. Porqué descalificas al actor?

[@oliver4elio87]

Barbara Reding he does look like he's in some discomfort.

[@JS-bw9hs]

I've noticed that too. Quite hard to miss, and it lasted a couple of minutes. It's difficult to see that and now this. God bless Tom Hanks!

[@DavidMacomber]

it looks like he has some serious back pain

[@fawnebrown4619]

I read sometimes how much an actor would earn for a role, could be based on how much a movie makes, depending on the deal negotiated. Is that still the case or does each actor, depending on whatever criteria, have a set per movie salary amount?

[@margalitvanbergen6620]

Who is the journalist?

[@MrS98VAC]

Glenn Close as Baby Jane Meryl Streep as Blanche

[@Serpentius]

Well said.

[@shadow.banned]

Well, they have almost the same name recognition. They are both legends... Sooo... there's no issue here.

[@ellamizrahi3094]

"As someone in the United States once said..." Hilarious. What a history lesson.

[@SharonPresleyWriter]

Hanks understands the nature of power and why some people want it. To control.

[@Rockblue01]

Very intelligent interview, with informed questions.

[@Neema.kitchen]

rockblue01 only intelligent people can see that

[@fazzason4200]

One person does all this and everyone involved with him are all suspects, just because you know someone it doesn’t mean they are apart of it. One story goes off then another and the thousands more after its social media And these . People

[@fazzason4200]

Sorry I didn’t get to finish what I was trying to say here but my point is it’s all to do with making millions of dollars off people. Social media and other news People only do this to put heaps in money in their pockets, there is no more respect for one another anymore it’s all about loving money. We all need to do other things to occupy our minds cause we obviously have to much time on our hands. Everyone has a right to their options even though we might me right or wrong. Get a grip pretty people, just worry about yourself and your families.

[@christopher3386]

Is she suggesting Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant? Meryl totally deflects the question: "You knew about what Weinstein was doing." She deflects and starts talking about other directors and when asked if she knew and why she didn't do anything about it, AGAIN, Tom Hanks jumps in to answer for her (and also deflects), and they both avoid addressing the question.

[@zdelany6963]

no she is stating a fact he had editors put in jail ....fact

[@christopher3386]

Quote: "Tyrants have always first tried to control the news. Abraham Lincoln jailed newspaper editors." Inference.

[@dancerfruit2]

Christopher Hatch for a second I thought I was crazy when I realized she didn't actually answer the question and just jump to Weinstein

[@TitoTimTravels]

He was trying to keep the country together and did use some tyrannical means. A benevolent tyrant is still a tyrant.

[@EvaSofie]

Because she’s said multiple times she didn’t know. Do some research for once.

[@oliveraneskovic7652]

I love these two. Legends.

[@christopherrembert6356]

Elena M. She knew

[@idris1486]

christopher rembert can you explain what the "she knew" means?? Plz

[@oliveraneskovic7652]

Random Guy It doesn't mean anything because she didn't know.

[@christopherrembert6356]

Elena M. Either SHE KNEW or is very naive. Applauding Roman Polanski and calling Harvey Weinstein a god, while being one of the most famous actresses of all time.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

who? The interviewer and Meryl Streep?

[@lilsamantha1]

Meryl shrimp look like my chemistry teacher back in high school. Her name was mrs safira and she was polishh

[@bountyhunter4949]

They know what they get paid. It's all in contract before they start shooting. Legends and it's not about the money to them it's about the love of acting.

[@linangametua4779]

Is funny how the interviewer ask if she knew and tom hanks answered for her n is like denying it omg

[@linangametua4779]

Ruby Begonia hahahaha really?? Why? Did you she knew

[@mikeanderson9205]

Well done all!

[@user-rl8qo7pm6r]

I love them.....

[@roter13]

why the hell is it anyone's business what other people are paid. I would have been very offended

[@ErinFisherMusic]

HOLY!! It's a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE EXPENSE to settle a sexual harassment claim!! OMG. Wow. Learned that today.

[@RebekkaHay]

Can you stop sticking parts of the middle at the beginning? 🙄

[@biggamejames531]

I think it was not the best place nor time to ask them if they were paid the same. Good thing they sidestepped it well and in good nature.

[@VarsshaC]

How come they dont know?

[@kurtsudheim825]

Man is made by his belief. As he believes so he is. Well, if what he says is true, & not that he wants to blurt out how much he made on screen, my guess is that they've amassed so much money they don't really care about the cheque

[@katarinad1309]

My take on harassment is this no one who out ranks someone else in the same work place should peruse an underling. Second if a flirtation should occur at the work place the second the word "No" is used all must stop. The most respected word we have should be "No" it is our right as human beings regardless of our gender to choose whether to start or even to continue forward with any kind of relationship. It doesn't matter what came before the word "No" (ex agreeing to a sexual relationship, or a flirtation) once it is spoken we must reset our relationships back to zero, until such time as a new agreement by both parties is reached. Not so difficult.

[@devoncars407]

I do not know what it is that some do not understand about equal pay and equal opportunity. Of course if you do equal work you should be paid the same and your way to the top of any industry should be as easy or as tough as your opposite gender, but to get to the top of any industry you have to constantly work 70/80 hours per week for 10 plus years non stop. You have to step on people and accept that someday someone may step on you. Work place that offer good careers is a battle zone and it is usually a non stop competition full of backstabbers. It is very rare for a man to have a career. Only a chosen few get that. The likelihood for a male to have career is less than 1%. The rest of us have jobs that we would not do if it wasn't for a financial reason.

[@SpaceCattttt]

They were both paid more than I would've been.

[@nkmarks]

It's a pity that the question "if they were paid equally" was not eventually answered! ... Is it answered somewhere else? ...

[@nex6058]

Tom's not employing her but a percentatge of her salary is based on the draw of Tom Hanks and the projected success of the project based on his involvement.

[@timeb4ndit]

You should ask Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt if they were paid the same for Passengers.

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Following was Streep's statement made to Huffington Post in 2017, that I was able to find. According to the NYTimes article where I found it, she worked with Weinstein on August: Osage County and Iron Lady. I don't know when she first met him or if she worked with him on other movies. The above movies were made when Streep was, I believe, was in her 60s, after a long and storied career, and in a long, successful marriage. Thus, Weinstein probably knew that he could not get away with assaulting, let alone proposition her. Here is Ms. Streep’s full statement: The disgraceful news about Harvey Weinstein has appalled those of us whose work he championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported. The intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes. One thing can be clarified. Not everybody knew. Harvey supported the work fiercely, was exasperating but respectful with me in our working relationship, and with many others with whom he worked professionally. I didn’t know about these other offenses: I did not know about his financial settlements with actresses and colleagues; I did not know about his having meetings in his hotel room, his bathroom, or other inappropriate, coercive acts. And if everybody knew, I don’t believe that all the investigative reporters in the entertainment and the hard news media would have neglected for decades to write about it. The behavior is inexcusable, but the abuse of power familiar. Each brave voice that is raised, heard and credited by our watchdog media will ultimately change the game. I suggest reading the NYT article where she discusses being approached for unwanted sex in her early days and more background.

[@tonytunzat]

You literally didn’t answer the question that’s the title of this video. *CLICKBAIT*

[@chrissysangels8194]

well said even with Tom looking like he's having a bowel movement hahahahaha I agree completely, truth and honest is a turning point for many, I don't want to rip men from the face of the earth as they also are a beautiful thing many need change all individuals need change to enjoy a life they shoulf and deserve

[@sylviajohnsen]

I want to know the answer to that question. What did Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep earn from their work on The Post, was there parity, or God-for-sake Streep earned more?

[@yoaintknomee8312]

umm.... so what's the answer?

[@lukeskywalker6809]

He doesn't even know how much he got paid? Wow, Mr. Hanks. You have so much money, you don't even care anymore?

[@ljclark2177]

Some really interesting and juicy questions here and I found myself disappointed by Meryl's responses and Tom's lack of engagement :( Would have loved to hear Tom's response as a man to the question about whether he now thinks twice about physical contact with actresses on set.

[@EvaSofie]

It’s hard to answer questions when people like you criticize every little thing she says. How hard is it to believe all women?

[@bfines9440]

He was going to answer but Meryl took the question

[@jimmyconway4034]

Eva Ukman: How hard is it to believe all women what?

[@EvaSofie]

Believe when they say they are victims of abuse but also of manipulation like Meryl.

[@ljclark2177]

Who was Meryl manipulated by?

[@yomommastupid]

horrible set up of camera...the interviewer looks like she is interrogating Tom and Meryl. Also her questions and the way she talks so aggressive why Meryl response very calm...

[@Neednoy2]

I don't believe they don't know their pay check.

[@johnknight1408]

if anyone ever says to me I'm going to be a little bit cheeky, then I'm going to be a little bit of a liar.

[@kreshia777]

the TITLE of this interview - so much important covered in this interview - - - then to make it all about $$$ - looses the most important points covered ... miniscule aspect

[@carolbenson6524]

These two people are just actors.....not gods and goddesses!.

[@neosapien247]

[@lawrencetomlinson761]

Derek Fisher Just stating their opinion which I value more than the opinion of the Crotch-Grabber-In-Chief.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Peter Grun + Julie Newman I don't think he's questioning their acting ability, but rather their glorification by the media, which btw I titally agree with - not that I dislike them ir don't listen to anything they say, I mean how can you hate tom hanks, there must be something wrong with you - people (specifically the youth ie teens, & girls), idolize beyonce more than gandhi, but tell me who's done more for humanity

[@kurtsudheim825]

Julie Newman

[@AnyoneCanSee]

What a ridiculous thing to say. Most actors do it because they enjoy entertaining others and the joy it brings to others. Almost everyone on the planet has experienced joy, laughter, been moved or just entertained by a movie. I'd say that someone like yourself that calls tens of thousands of men, women and children "vile," simply because they entertain others has serious problems with their character.

[@mollydyke2313]

I think it’s really horrible how critical people are of Meryl. Yes she called Harvey Weinstein “god” but it was before she knew about anything that was going on. As with the Roman Polanski thing. She is such a generous person and was simply giving out compliments. Of course she would not support Harvey Weinstein or Roman Polanski now after discovering what was actually going on so I think people should just back off and realise that she has good intentions and does care about rights for women. I hate it when the media take one comment and twist it so horribly. Also I think it was very unprofessional of the interviewer to put her on the spot like that. She seemed really uncomfortable with it. I felt really bad for her

[@mollydyke2313]

craisins 86 you can’t prove it. And we don’t know the half of what goes on in Hollywood. She may have been blackmailed. Like she said directors are in a position of power over the actors so will know things about them that others won’t. Weinstein may have threatened her and Polanski may have done the same. I genuinely can’t see her supporting someone like that unless she was scared or threatened. You can have your opinion however if you do not like her then I don’t understand why you are watching this video. I understand a lot of people do not like her at all but anyone who just comes up with one theory like you have just done does not have the right to criticise her. I understand that maybe she did support them but I don’t think that someone like Meryl who has very strong values and good morals would do that without being very scared or genuinely not knowing the persons capabilities. The whole “Weinstein is a god” statement was back in 2012 so I’m pretty sure she had no idea of what he was capable of back then.

[@acrustykrab]

I'd imagine Tom Hanks would get more, he is probably worth more and has made more money from his movies.

[@aribbonatatime]

Hard to watch Tom here. He's so whipped :( and he's just taking it. You can tell he hates it.

[@brainey001]

I don't think Meryl Streep would be thrown in the pay gap just because of who she is and the power she has in the industry... But if she were a less known actress like Margot Robie she would have definitely gotten less

[@Fidg234]

Is there a difference between exaggerating by adding to or taking from a factual truth and a lie?

[@timfred9884]

The thing is ALL Americans should be made to VOTE. You can't cry after that if the election does not go your way.

[@simonwebster368]

Well done to the interviewer for having the guts, the courage and the morals to ask Meryl (and Tom) the questions that none of the liberal media (particularly in the States) would dare ask. I note that Meryl avoided the question of did she know anything about Harvey Weinstein's behaviour.

[@EvaSofie]

In her answer she was implying that she didn’t know, but is only getting the heat from people like you because of who she is. You can't just assume she knew, it’s very complicated. She was the one woman who gave HW credibility, so who knows how many careers she could screw over if she knew anything. And a man like HW would do anything he could to prevent her from finding anything out.

[@simonwebster368]

Eva, you've 'assumed' that I've 'assumed' Meryl knew. I didn't state that. The core of my statement is that I'm glad the interviewer confronted her on the issue and asked her, especially Meryl as she seems to be hypersensitive to everything President Trump does but seems oblivious to things that her liberal mates like Roman Polanski do. Since Meryl devoted her entire Golden Globes 2017 speech to moralizing and preaching about the need for righteousness, it's only fair that she takes "heat" to detrmine if HER morals-in-action match her words. She placed herself in the hot seat.

[@EvaSofie]

Simon Webster You’re acting like it’s the first time she was asked that. It’s not. Maybe you should get off your high horse and not place heat where it’s not needed. Focus on the abusers and the people we know for a fact enabled them. Not the woman who paved the way for actresses today and has fought for women all throughout her career.

[@maxheadroom3839]

I think the better actor or the actor that pulls in the audience should get paid more regardless of sex. I mean you get paid more for having better skill sets in other jobs a brain surgeon gets more than a nurse regardless of their sex. It's a odd thing if people are just all paid the same regardless of popularity or fame I am guessing the extras where not paid the same as Tom or Meryl. Experience and longevity in the business should deserve a higher pay bracket surley.

[@Keksakallu]

What's incredibly disappointing about this interview is that neither of them actually answer the question as to what, if anything, they knew about Weinstein. Streep and Hanks both evade the question with real skill, and spin their responses well away from what is required of them. If they are as morally and politically upstanding as they like to present themselves as being, the least they can do is be upfront about whatever complicity/responsibility/acquiescence they may or may not be guilty of.

[@matts1546]

Look at the contrast in tension by body language between Streep and Tom...Tom looks ready to drop a deuce, bracing for the reverse misogyny attack squad...

[@Lynn4399]

Goodness...Hanks(and or Meryl???) said "he doesn't even know what his salary was" while making this film. As a fairly wealthy person, I know my wealth and sign every check. Was he/she joking?

[@SethMacLeod95]

They didn’t want to tell the truth about it.

[@shadow.banned]

Aren't panic buttons popular in the NYC media world? Imagine a gunman enters the building. Am I nuts? A panic button seems like a great idea.

[@enriquesinghjr]

[@matts1546]

I can't wait until we move on to the next "conversation"...

[@lukeskywalker6809]

Since when have movie stars become the wise people, whose opinion shape our community? They are just actors, they don't know more than anybody else.

[@doriswhite5526]

Meryl for president

[@RodrigoOtazu]

SO? did he paid more ? is a question a very good question that did not get the right answer

[@JoshBWeaver]

It's also none of your, or anyone's business but their own.

[@ladymiss9466]

actually, it is an extremely relevant question since one of the primary subjects at hand is gender pay gap🙄

[@Wuudy]

Lady Miss shouldn't the best actor and the one that sells the most tickets for the movie get paid most? Not easy in this case but Streep might be paid more as she probably is in all the movies she makes.

[@ladymiss9466]

Meryl streep does not pull a higher salary than tom hanks.... helloooo

[@dw5749]

They look like an old good couple 👍🙂

[@Bluepipe]

It's no ones buisness but theirs FFS.

[@QQ-xt9uf]

She knew.

[@waltermalcom811]

Streep and hanks are right on target...

[@RalphTGP]

Meryl and Tom did their utmost to answer questions which were brave but disjointed and, if I may so, posed by a high pitched squeak. The interviewer should work on refining her voice with elocution lessons and do a little more prep to refine potential talent.

[@blackdogslivesmatter1568]

If Tom Hank ever got accused of sexually harrassing women I think the earth would crash into the sun. Somethings in this world are just sacred. Whenever I see Tom Hanks I cant help it..I just think....Sunny, Sunny, Sunny.

[@hayley581]

That's the thing. "Accused". In Hollywood it isn't innocent until proven guilty. It is guilty right away... Only thing that doesn't sit with me right...

[@lukeskywalker6809]

EXACTLY. That's the most important thing. And not just in Hollywood, all around the facebook world.

Why are these two great actors not running things in government because what is out there is totally FUBAR.

which one of them make more money is the movie I hope equal pay is hollywood

[@kurtsudheim825]

Okay so I don't know a massive amount of law, forget us law, vut what she says confuses me more: if these people are making more money (by tax deductions), why would you take the settlement & keep quiet, I'd stand up & shout, esp. if I knew there were other people who'd gone through the same stuff (okay I know you can lose to the "big evil guys" & may be shout out of future work & shunted by community etc)

I think she does not want to admit that she knew because she was willing to play ball and got all those nominated roles by being cooperative to the inappropriate abuses. Who would admit that?

[@AsiBoy]

Wow completely dodged the question about knowing about the harassment that was going on while she worked with Harvey. Such a hypocrite.

[@NessIsHere]

Working Inge entertainment industry myself and knowing how much cover ip goes on behind the scenes, they knew. All is revealed in the industry, wether it's through talk, secrets heard, other actors having bad experiences or whatever the case is at the time. But to be honest, they would know more then they're willing to admit. I don't blame them for not admitting what they know beforehand or not. It's a fucked up industry. I've been taken advantage of too here in Australia in the industry by an industry "professional" or so I thought.... I even knew about the sexual allegations before Craig McCachlan way before his arrest in Australia weeks ago.. look him up if you're not sure who he is.. it's well known here about Craig,s actions and behaviour way before he was arrested... so in regards to Harvey, yes they know...

Working IN THE*** I meant to say sorry

Hollywood is different from Australia, hun. The bigger you are, the less you are told, so people won’t lose their jobs because you got suspicous.

[@michaeldonovan4793]

a good question would have been: "as liberal advocates of free expression in the Arts, and with this president in office, are you not worried about an evangelical christian backlash mandating morality through legal legislation?"

Two people I wouldn't walk around the block you see.

Meryl should have answered if she knew.

[@EvaSofie]

She has, multiple times. She didn’t know. Enough.

[@FelTongII]

Eva, I was referring to this interview she didn't answered it directly. It's just a simple YES, I've heard about it or NO, I am totally clueless and I'm just wrap up with my own world, that's it.

[@EvaSofie]

Fel Tong It’s beside the point. It’s not her fault. She’s fought for women her entire career and paved the way for actresses working today. She doesn’t need to answer questions that she has already answered thoroughly before. What’s done is done. They are moving forward and pushing for change, let’s focus on that.

[@FelTongII]

I DID NOT say it's her FAULT. What my issue is she didn't answer the QUESTION, which I believe she should have to. THAT'S IT end of discussion.

[@EvaSofie]

If you want an answer go read her statement to Rose McGowan. She doesn’t need to repeat that for the millionth time.
