Is It Safe To Say Every Lead Actress in a Weinstein Film Is A Whore?

To recap, Rumor #1 about Gretchen Mol was that she was Harvey Weinstein’s longtime bone-friend, and that her sexual prowess convinced him to use all his powers of hype to get her anointed “Hollywood’s Next It Girl” — a designation that she famously failed to live up to.

This led to Rumor #2, later elaborated on by a tipster. LaineyGossip strongly suggested that Weinstein and another man (our tipster alleged it was Sopranos writer Terence Winter) ran trains on Mol this past summer, for nothing more in exchange than an invite to the Inglorious Basterds premiere.

Rumor #3, floated by CDAN last week and later “solved” by BlindGossip, asserted that Mol boned a producer in order to get her husband the job of directing Paranormal Activity 2 — and that she’s kept on smashing him behind her husband’s back. This sparked our story. (Although we surmised that the producer in question was Oren Peli, a tipster later suggested that it was Akiva Goldsman, the most talentless hack ever to win an Oscar in the history of the entertainment business.)

Rumor #4 also came from CDAN, openly referencing the earlier, extremely obvious blinds. This one suggested that one of Mol’s beaus likes it rough bondage-style, and oh by the way he’s an HBO writer with a new show coming out that she is a part of. This is obviously a reference to Terence Winter, who cast Gretchen in his new show, “Boardwalk Empire.” quote: So, of all the actresses in Hollywood why would they cast a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes in the role of Bettie Page? Everyone on planet Earth wondered about this casting choice. It’s because Gretchen banged a producer… a female producer. Katie Roumel was one of the producers (all female) for the movie. Guinevere Turner was supposed to play Bettie until Gretchen went down on Katie.

For 10 years or so, I've been aware of rumors that I had some kind of transactional relationship with Harvey Weinstein. They seemed to start on a gossip website that made money by peddling "blind" items. A few facts had been taken from my Wikipedia page, were combined with stories about a movie mogul who was known for harassing women, quotes from "reliable sources" were added and a malicious, viral rumor was born. Over the years, it was gleefully embroidered, becoming increasingly bizarre and baroque — but the salacious, slut-shaming and misogynist message to the fable remained the same: In Hollywood, a young woman must build her career by humiliating herself and sleeping with powerful men.

No. I did not exchange sexual favors with Harvey Weinstein, or anyone, for advancement in my career. I was never paid any settlement. The truth is that I have never been alone in a room with Harvey Weinstein. The extent of my interactions with him has been a handful of polite hellos at various premieres and award shows. This is in no way a defense of this person, it is merely a statement of fact.
