That's a bit naive. Lot's of them jump into bed with people like him to secure movie roles or just staying in the business in general.

I wonder how many women did the deed and he subsequently reneged on their deal.

Probably not. George Clooney has said he Harvey told him he had affairs with women. It sounds like he did the trick of Jimmy Saville who openly admitted what he was doing in public but in such a way people just laughed it off as ridiculous.

haha love that "pisstake" argument, my college lecturer made the same apologist shtick. The whole thing is one big ironic pisstake by 'Irish American' Ford eh? Funny yankee audiences didn't 'get it' then or now(look at the bus loads that still visit the filming sites, ironically of course):) Its the most stage "oirish", diddley di ****e you can get, makes Darby O Gill look like a documentary and ultimately spawned what we now know as bord failte and the 'Irish Cailin'/Rose of Tralee industry. Point I was making is how things that were wholely acceptable at one stage ( dragging slapping women etc) and hiding in plain sight, arent anymore. Was also referring to the making of stories more than anything else too.

You are making the classic mistake of judging the past through the eyes of the present.
In any case, the Wayne character starts out believing he could order his wife around but ends up under her thumb and doing her bidding.
You should have listened to your college lecturer, he's in that job for a reason, ie he knows more than you!

I mean, if you cast your mind back-she was box office poison before Kill Bill (2003). Her last hit movie was Gattaca-6 years prior. She made the stinkers Batman and Robin, The Avengers (based on the 60s show) and Chelsea Wall. Everything else-bad. So how did Kill Bill happen?

Tarantino and Uma Thurman came up with the general idea for Kill Bill during the filming of Pulp Fiction. It was always going to be her playing the role. The ending of the first film even has "Based on the character of 'The Bride' created by Q and U", Quentin & Uma, in the credits.

Just saying, she was Tarantino's pick for the part, not Weinstein's.

So, man's Hollywood career takes off quickly due to him getting connected. It's probably because he refused sexual advances and the situation got smoothed over.

Woman has a successful career in the vicinty of Weinstein. It's probably because she f*cked her way into jobs, and she should be ashamed and should stfu about Weinstein.

Cool.

I guess it comes down to how believable and likely that something could happen, are.

Would a desperate Colin Farrell give Spacey some sex for a chance in a career bump?

Would any number of desperate females give HW some sex in return for a career bump?

Depends how you see things.

Actually a she, at least you aren't exhibiting patriarchal ideals there by automatically assuming lecturer was a he though, that would truly undermine your whole argument, haha:) For the record another lecturer(also a female believe it or not) entirely disagrees with her on the matter, its called academic discourse, give it a go, you'll find its not all male tutors on campus either, majority females of my BA and MA degrees in college in question. Honestly I can forward all prescribed readings on the topic if you desire, you sound like you know it all already though.

I agree with you. Especially when you consider that Tarantino always casts the same people in his movies. Samuel L Jackson, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth etc. So it shouldn't be so surprising to see Uma Thurman cast in Kill Bill, even if she didn't help create Kill Bill she would still be considered I think.

Well, he was born in December 1971 and as Firstborn would likely have been shot in 1983, he'd have been 11 throughout filming, so he could just be remembering a year out. Or maybe what he spoke of was just before filming. Sure seems odd for his parents to have allowed him to go off and live with an 17 year old actor and his girlfriend in New York at either age anyway. I remember his Dad made an appearance on The Two Coreys at one point and he hadn't seen him in years.

I think many parents were very hands off with their kids around then-they assumed the business would look after their kids-it didn't. Phil Lynott's mother made some of the same mistakes-like, she became his 'friend' too-often smoked weed with him. But didn't suspect the other stuff.

RDJ did a good thing by trying to give Haim some stability, but Haim being around an addict like Downey Jr probably did more harm than good.
Haim did not have a good foundation, to say the least.

If you skip to the last part, where the parents split up, you note how his mother had to stay on as 'mother, agent, and best friend'. In part two-she didn't discipline him, she behaved like his best friend-seemed like his dad was the authoritarian, so when they split, he pretty much was free as a bird.

Marilyn Manson's bassist revealed to be a rapist. Twiggy Ramirez, and he's done it more than once. Seems like the floodgates have barely opened.

Some more disclosures about Weinstein asking for massages, walking around naked, asking to be watched as he bathed etc... from an ex UK assistant of his:

Harvey Weinstein's British assistant breaks 20 year silence about ordeal

Harvey Weinstein's British former assistant has told how the disgraced movie mogul sexually harassed her when they were alone in hotel rooms.

Zelda Perkins signed a non-disclosure agreement with Weinstein in 1998 and was paid £125,000 in damages.

But she decided to break the agreement and speak publicly about her former boss in the wake of a slew of allegations about him.

She told the Financial Times: "He went out of the room and came back in his underwear. He asked me if I would give him a massage. Then he asked if he could massage me."

Ms Perkins declined but said Weinstein would frequently be naked in a hotel room and and ask her to stay while he bathed.

"This was his behaviour on every occasion I was alone with him," she said. "I often had to wake him up in the hotel in the mornings and he would try to pull me into bed."

As his assistant, based in London, she sat in on meetings with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow.

In 1998 at the Venice film festival a colleague came to her "white as a sheet and shaking and in a very bad emotional state" after "something terrible had happened" with Weinstein, she told the Financial Times.

Ms Perkins said she tried to get the woman to go to the police but she was too upset.

They later made contact with lawyers in London which led to a settlement of £250,000, divided between them, and non-disclosure agreements.

Ms Perkins called the process of reaching the agreement was "incredibly distressing".

She underwent days of questioning including a 12-hour session with Weinstein's lawyers that ended at 5am, the newspaper reported.

She said: “I was made to feel ashamed for disclosing his behaviour and assault. I was pretty broken after the negotiation process.”

What the hell was with this guy and being watched showering and bathing. Didn't he have Heidi Fleiss's number ffs.

Is it too late to get Harvey to sexually harass me . I could do with £125.000 which 20 years ago would have been worth a good bit more than it is today .

Nasty man but potentially a bit of an earner if you can handle that sort of stuff .

Like I reckoned earlier P, it's not a sexual thing per se, it's all about the power with him. The movie mogul thing, the ability to cut deals, to have studios, assistants and talent jump to his will. The greasy stuff we're hearing about now was an extension of that. I'd imagine paying a woman to do whatever wouldn't appeal for very long to that type of personality.

There is some good news this morning...

Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson 'is banned from working with major fashion magazines including Vogue' after sexual harassment claims resurface

Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson has been banned from working with several major fashion magazines amid resurfacing sexual harassment claims.

Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair are among those who were told to 'kill' any scheduled shoots with the snapper by parent group Condé Nast International.

Richardson has been the subject of widespread allegations of sexually abusing models over his lengthy career -- accusations he has constantly denied.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5010505/Terry-Richardson-banned-major-fashion-magazines.html

I've mentioned Richardson previously, he is a well known deviant. I wouldn't be surprised if numerous women make public allegations about him too after recent events.

Aye. Was saying this to a mate, while the sexual thing applies in some cases in Weinstein's (and other "powerful" people) case it's all about power. Women most certainly get the brunt of this crap in Hollywood but that's down to most men being straight.

As mentioned it was about the power over the situation. You don't have to punch someone in the face to be a Bully. One aspect of his harassment was about putting women in situations that were uncomfortable, embarrassing and extremely humiliating for them. Due to his stature he reckoned he would get away with it. He had money, power and influence. I guess like anyone who get's off on something like that becomes bored of doing that **** with just his assistants and random staff, you start to look for bigger 'kicks' and what better high for him would it have been than having some of the world's leading movie stars, some of the world's most beautiful women feel that same embarrassment, the same humiliation for him to get off on.

Terry makes my skin absolutely crawl. I can't even look at pictures of him without my spidey senses tingling. He's an out and out weirdo. He should have been properly exposed years ago.

I wonder if they will-Richardson, from the stories told, was worse than Weinstein. There were plenty of stories of him, and some amazingly 'cover up' articles written about him-the likes of which made mine, and many's a persons, skin crawl. Then he sidled up to Hollywood folks, and even had Lena Dunham-notorious faux-feminist extraordinaire, defending him after she did a shoot with him.

You really, really cannot describe how horrible Richardson is-I'm not joking, the guy is just an astronomical monster. (He dumped his wife, when she, at 29, was diagnosed with breast cancer). He even left a digital paper trail, including messages he sent to models.
There are a lot of models online sites who keep a roster of photographers, to tell models who is safe to work with, who might push them out of their comfort zone (this isn't necessarily bad, just one model may feel uncomfortable in a situation that another will enjoy the pressure) and who to avoid entirely-and Terry was often on the last list.
He had a famous mom, but no actual talent. But predators often get themselves into power.

There are many different types of women in the world , Thank God . . Yes many would be deeply effected by Harvey Weinstein horrible carry on .

Some women perhaps not that many would probably start laughing at Weinstein trying his nasty stuff and tell him where to go good and proper .

Some them would accept £125 ,000 thousand + 20 years inflation thinking what a pathetic plonker and Bank the cash .

Not all women are the same and some , fortunately would be well able for horrible Harvey Weinstein .

They wouldn't be laughing for long - he's a very large man who was apparently willing and able to overpower and pin down anyone smaller and less strong than himself.

Loads of them effectively told him to take a run and jump and not all of them took money either.

Ashley Judd for example (feminist extraordinaire) left/escaped the room telling Harvey that if he wanted to touch her, she'd first have to win an Oscar in one of his movies.

She was joking, of course........................... allegedly.

She also survived sexual abuse as a child. So I think she knew the predatory signs-ugly as it is to say,

Outlaw Pete · 24-10-2017 07:43PM

Well, allegedly given no charges have even been brought and apparently some members of her own (gun touting) family don't believe her. None of which mean it didn't happen of course, but there you are. I remember when she came out with that and it was first about some old guy who tried to stick his tongue down her throat and she ran off (that I believed) but then as the years progressed it became about repressed incest memories (which is a red flag given what Rosanne Barr went through and indeed many a miscarriage of justice was based on) but in saying that, if she says it happened, so be it.

Have to say though, she undermines herself quite a bit when she talks about being raped as a child as not being as bad as Trump getting elected.

She rants on feminism, so hence why.

Today another woman has come forward publicly to accuse Weinstein of forcing himself on her. Allegedly she declined his previous advances, but he cornered her and she tried to fend him off by saying she was having her period, which she was. So oul Harvey allegedly pulled her "feminine hygiene product" out and went down on her. Jesus. Personally I have no issue believing her. That level of embarrassing detail strongly suggests she's not fibbing IMHO.

And now more of his former assistants are speaking out about the background machinations of lawyers and the company to keep this serial pervert from justice.

And yet he remains free. How many women and ongoing police cases in at least two countries does it take to arrest this guy? That's what beggars belief for me. If this guy was a office worker no way would he be sitting in some "therapy centre".

Jesus. I had to watch that twice while checking my ears for wax and my brain for a more than usual brain melt before I believed what I was hearing(though I clicked stop as the Fox News talking heads talked).

To compare one's rape as a child to any political result is a statement beyond insane. Then again the entertainer nature tends towards hysteria and histrionics, so that's 90% of that. Then being "triggered" and looking for "safe spaces". IE spaces where people agree with whatever nonsense you're spouting and believing(common across all of the spectrum of beliefs these days) . G'way to feck you pampered gilded cage multimillionaire notice box who only gets your platform because of fame. A fame by the by she would have been extremely unlikely to have gotten without her out of the ordinary attractiveness.

Then again she and similar so called media "feminists" really dunno what to do with themselves anymore. Not when outside of a couple of areas women are in a better societal position and favour than men. They remind me of the dog chasing the tyres of cars driving by. If a car stops they don't know what to do and just bark pointlessly at the tyres. That's your media/online "feminist" for the most part. Endlessly barking at a stopped tyre, Imagining, hoping the car is still moving, so they still have a purpose. Harvey Wankerstein has been an eye opener, hopefully a real call for change and sadly for the above canids something to bark at.

Now I do still hold to my previous position that fair play Ms Judd was the first to support McGowan and her story. Though more and more the above notice box angle seems to have been in play. I do wonder would she have been nearly so quick to support her if she was still in the system and more to the point, still bankable. Let's face it almost nobody who was/is still bankable was exactly quick with the support, reporting and condemnation. She didn't. Even when she happily admits it was something all the women she knew in the business discussed when they met and his name came up.

Then again Kate Winslet - who is still bankable - in a recent interview was asked about why she chose to star in Woody Allen's - also still bankable - new film considering the accusations against him. Her reply? "It’s just a difficult discussion. I’d rather respectfully not enter it today. I don’t read how people respond to things. We’re always as actors going to say the wrong thing[fcuk me, the ego there]. I think it’s better to respectfully step away from the discussion". Respectfully? G'way to fcuk. Observe the cognitive dissonance at best, or the hypocrisy at worst. QV Streep and many others on Polanski, the on the run convicted child rapist. Hollyweird has never been more applicable. Or Harveywood, or Hypocrisywood.

Caveat: this repellent crap is among the movers and shakers, the bigwigs, the ones who get to make the millions. The average person in the film business is just.. well an average person doing a job.

Yeah, seen that allegation reported earlier. From the clip below it seems it happened in one of his homes given that there were kid's drawings on the wall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veXYJ7jZWbM

Mimi Haleyi — who formerly worked as a production assistant on a Weinstein Company television series — is the latest woman to come forward with a sexual assault allegation against Harvey Weinstein, accusing the fallen mogul of forcing himself onto her in 2006, while she was on her period.

Along with her attorney Gloria Allred, Haleyi disclosed, on Tuesday afternoon at a New York City press conference, extremely graphic details of her multiple interactions with Weinstein.

Haleyi says she was first introduced to Weinstein at the European premiere of “The Aviator” in 2004. She was in her 20s, though she declined to reveal her exact age at the time. She later saw Weinstein, for the second time, at the Cannes Film Festival.

“At that time, I was planning to spend some time in New York, so I asked Harvey if I could help on any of his productions there. He said why don’t you see me at my hotel and we’ll talk about it,” Haleyi shared. She agreed to meet Weinstein at his hotel, where she understood the Weinstein Company was set up for the festival. When she arrived, she was escorted up to his room by an assistant, who then left.

“Harvey asked if I’d give him a massage. I said, ‘No sorry, I’m not a masseuse,’ and I suggested he contact hotel reception,” Haleyi recalled. “At that time, I was crying because I felt humiliated.”

Despite the humiliating interaction at Cannes, Haleyi was hoping to form a business connection with Weinstein, since she was eager to break into the entertainment industry, so she agreed to meet up with him again in New York City when he said he’d help her secure a job on a television show, produced by the Weinstein Company.

“He suggested we meet in the Mercer Hotel lobby for a chat. He was a complete gentleman and completely charming,” Haleyi said. A few days later, she saw him at TWC offices in Tribeca, where he wanted to meet with her to discuss her work on his television production, and then he offered to take her on an extravagant trip to Paris for a couture show. “I declined, as this seemed like an invitation of romantic nature,” she said. “He didn’t like that.”

After Haleyi declined to go to Paris, she said Weinstein continued to send her messages and showed up at her apartment in NYC. She said he “literally forced himself in through the door, pleading to come to Paris.”

“I said, ‘I’m not coming to Paris with you and I hear you have a terrible reputation with women.’ That’s when he backed off,” Haleyi said.

When Weinstein returned from Paris, he reached out to Haleyi and asked her to meet him at his home in Soho. Again, she agreed because she “wanted to maintain a good relationship with him” for purely business purposes. Haleyi repeatedly said at the press conference she was not interested in a sexual or romantic relationship.

When Weinstein’s driver picked her up, Haleyi says there was a copy of the New York Post in the car with a photo of Weinstein in Paris with his then-girlfriend and now-estranged wife, Georgina Chapman, which made her wonder if “he had strategically placed” it there to make her jealous that she did not agree to go on the trip. When she arrived at his home, she says they watched TV and it was not long before Weinstein started to make sexual advances and eventually forced himself onto her.

“Then I said, ‘I am on my period. There is no way this is going to happen.’ He wouldn’t take no for an answer and took me into a bedroom … that looked like a kid’s bedroom with drawings on the wall,” Haleyi shared with reporters through audible tears. “He was extremely persistent and physically overpowering. He then orally forced himself on me, while I was on my period. He even pulled my tampon out. I was mortified. I was in disbelief and disgusted. I would not have wanted anyone to do that to me, even if that person had been a romantic partner.”

“I remember Harvey rolling over and saying, ‘Don’t you feel like we’re so much closer now?’”

Haleyi says she told a few friends at the time about the horrific experience, but she decided to come forward now in support of all the other women who have been subjected to sexual harassment or sexual assault.

“Mr. Weinstein appears to have reached a new low in what he did,” Allred said. “[Mimi] said it was disgusting, and it is. No intimate or sexual activity should ever be performed on any woman who does not consent, and [Mimi] made it clear that there is no way she would have consented to that — with anyone, let alone, Mr. Weinstein.”

Haleyi is the latest woman to speak up against Weinstein, who for the past 20 days, has been facing endless allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape, which Weinstein’s team has denied. The producer, who is currently in a rehab facility in Arizona, was forced out of and subsequently resigned from the board of The Weinstein Company. He has been suspended from the Academy, the Producers Guild, and BAFTA.

Allred, known for fighting for women’s rights, is also representing former actress Heather Kerr, who just four days ago, accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting her back in 1989.

Weinstein’s fall has set off a domino effect of exposing accused men in the entertainment industry, including director James Toback, who has had dozens of women speak out against him; photographer Terry Richardson, who was recently banned by Conde Nast after multiple women came forward with accusations; and celebrity chef John Besh, who stepped down from his restaurant group amid sexual harassment allegations.
