Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them

When Gwyneth Paltrow was 22 years old, she got a role that would take her from actress to star: The film producer Harvey Weinstein hired her for the lead in the Jane Austen adaptation “Emma.” Before shooting began, he summoned her to his suite at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting that began uneventfully. It ended with Mr. Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages, she said. “I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she said in an interview, publicly disclosing that she was sexually harassed by the man who ignited her career and later helped her win an Academy Award

They were probably asking for it with the way they were dressed.
Shame on them for tempting Weinstein. Poor Harvey, he dindu nuffin.

That's gonna leave a mark. But, we're supposed to believe Jennifer Lawrence was spared, right?

Why didn’t they something then?
I’ll accept that they may have felt pressured to comply for the sake of their careers... but once you’re a fricking worldwide mega star???
And you sure as frick don’t need to be singing the fricker’s praises for political purposes.
That entire world is proving to be nothing but a cesspool.

Someone explain what this guy really did, not just insinuated and why is it such a huge deal that all these "stars" are now forming a lynch mob now if it happened years ago?

Sigh.
This is another one of those times I wish LAT was still around. He was sounding the alarm on this topic as well before he passed away.

So brave of these women to finally speak out

For 100 years people have known about the casting couch stuff that goes on in Hollywood. Everyone should have realized by now actresses in Hollywood are only about a half step away from prostitution. I don't find anything about this jaw dropping in the slightest.

edit: I see that she did get out of there. Good for her.

the under age girl stuff is sick, thats bad and if true throw his arse in jail 
but for anyone of consenting age, if they are in a movie they have prostituted to get there, sometimes maybe even group orgy or pulling a train if need be so why is this really news?
not right, not fair, but its straight up "if you want me to do this for you then you have to do x, y, & z, for me and all my friends" so while im not saying its right, they agreed to it all to get what they wanted out of the deal.
to me, this sounds a lot like a prostitute crying about having to have sex to get rich

But they wait till they are over the hill and no longer receiving the star roles anymore to come out with this.
Please! These women knew who and what Harvey was and willing sold their bodies and their souls to him for movie roles.

So zero courage on their part and by not saying anything, they allowed countless other females to be molested...or worse.
:golf clap: So brave Gwyneth.

Yet these people were singing his praise on the awards shows and clapping like good lemmings. So many sick freaks in Hollywood. All these so called stars are only proving themselves to be hypocrites
