Paltrow's a bitch, but this rumor has been out for many years that he did these things to her and didn't say anything. I actually do believe her here.

No one is saying those things didn't happen. Hell, I'm sure they did. The issue is Paltrow acting like she was just an "innocent victim." Believe me, I think the practice is terrible. But I wholehearted believe that many if not most of these actresses gladly did these things with Weinstien because they new he could/would make them stars. It's the faux victim narrative that's being put out there now that the report is out. They certainly didn't seem to have a problem with everything in the 30+ years this was purportedly going on.

If anything, Paltrow being a "victim" is just more evidence of how widely accepted this practice was/is in Hollywood. She had some pretty powerful parents in the industry at the time all of this was allegedly going on. Yet, she still to some degree participated. This isn't some naive girl from small town West Virginia who is taken advantage of because she just wants to be a star
