    I'm sorry, but seriously?

    You really showed the sexual predators in Hollywood what for.

    How about you didn't show up at all one of the premium Hollywood events.
    That would have really sent shockwaves through the industry.

    But no, you had to show up and look all pretty for the cameras, as usual.

    All sexual misconduct has now ended, the world is a better place. Thank you to all the millionaires who made this possible.

    OH just turned to me and said "Why don't they just donate their millions to battered women charities instead of this wearing black fiasco. Awareness does f*ck all unless you put your money where your mouth is."

    Celebrities are annoying

    I could never see them as the bad guys in this let's not lose focus of the horrific abuse countless people have suffered at the hands of various people they are the scum of the earth.

    Just watched coverage of the Globes on the news there and I cant believe how self important these millionaire actors wearing black seem.
    Let's stick it to the fukin men and when Oprah gets up with her "A change is gonna come" speech, the millionaire actors are crying and standing up, quite aware that the cameras are under their nose, and applauding REALLY HARD, while fighting back the tears.
    Stuff & nonsense

    I've clapped back so hard to this on twitter

    Harvey Weinstein wore black to it every year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭NollagShona


    You dont think these actors suffered lecherous behaviour at the hands of Weinstein, Spacey and the rest???

    It was a running gag in Hollywood for years!

    Fair play for to them standing up for themselves and each other.

    They set up a legal fund to help young actors fight cases against these creeps.

    Black was making a statement, so people would talk about it- that worked!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford


    Hardly worth getting upset over what someone wears??



    Tbh only for the news said it about the black...I wouldn't have noticed :O

    The stinking hypocrisy and the donning of the mantel of victimhood by a crowd of pampered millionairess princesses who have absolutely nothing to say about the subjugation of poor Muslim women all over the 3rd world is obscene.

    After all the group hugs, rousing speeches, high-fives and tears last night, I hope the Hollywood a-listers involved in the metoo# movement will also stop starving themselves, and stop getting nose jobs, liposuction and botox - Show the world that you can succeed as a woman without completely fcuking your body up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,187 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    It is all so vacuous and slap on the back and stupid speeches and all that.

    Rubbish. Celebs are only that because some people adore them. And they know it too. What did they do to help the world (tongue in cheek here), well nothing really except sales of popcorn and coca cola. Oops nearly said coke there.

    Time to step away from the monitor for shyte like this lol.

    It's a circle ****, how many of them have worked with Roman Polanksi?
    Meryl Streep gave him a standing ovation one year.

    Anything else you want to tell women to do?

    Hollywood is a parallel universe. But that's Murica for ya. Someone somewhere must love this, I just cannot think who though.

    I am a woman. I felt it was totally disingenuous for the likes of Oprah to be ramming her 'women power' speech down people's throats, while she gets less recognisable each year through plastic surgery. Some role model. Ditto for many of those applauding her.

    I wonder are we reaching a tipping point with this soon. That people are starting to see through the facade, the fakeness, the double standards. Hopefully one day, people will stop giving a fcuk about celeb culture.

    These people should learn how to look after their own lives before they start worrying about the problems of the world

    Place is crawling with sociopaths and hypocrites. Hollywood that is.

    Whats your issue with plastic surgery, if they chose to have it of their own mind?

    I had cosmetic surgery done (fix a strabismus) should I be condemned too?

    It's just another vacuous gesture to garner publicity to ensure they get the same, if not a higher audience to hear them pontificate the same drivel as last year. It's utterly nauseating but oh so predictable at this point.

    I think they were making a stand for their colleagues tbf

    We already passed it when Trump won. The more hysterical these weeping morons get, the more confident I am that he will win re-election. I dearly hope they keep at it.

    I'd believe that if this was done in isolation but their always trying to leave their own little lane and cross in matters that aren't their concern.
    Bono should stick to singing
    Trump should stick to his celebrity bulll****
    and all the actors and actresses should stick with just that acting, they'll say " if I can use my voice for yada yada yada". We elect people to run the country these people are not needed the can **** off.
