re: Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them

Paltrow is just trying to jump aboard the victim train. Her mother is an actress and her father was a producer/director. I'm not saying Weinstein didn't try to bang her like he did so many other actresses over his career or that doing so was right. But for Paltrow to give us the "babe in the woods story" is a joke. If any young actress knew how Hollywood worked, it would be her.

Studio heads, producers, directors "forcing" aspiring actresses to have sex with them in exchange for movie roles didn't begin and won't end with Weinstein. This has been the case as long as there has been movies. Again, I'm not saying that practice is right, just, or ethical. But forgive me if I don't quite buy the sob story these actresses are trying to put out there. I suspect 90% knew EXACTLY how the "game" was played and were MORE than willing to participate in exchange for fame and fortune
