RODNEY FERNIO Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 I've heard of the casting couch but this bloke seems to be taking it to a new level !! On a more serious note I'm amazed how these serial sexual predators , like Saville , get away with it for decades without anybody saying anything.
FoxesDeb Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 One of the things I find hardest to believe is that apparently lots of people did say things, and were ignored. Completely different worlds to the one you and I live in though

There's so many cover ups in the World that people in these positions know they can get away with it. Look at Saville.
Webbo Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 The thing that annoys me is that he's going into rehab. As if it's not his fault, he has some kind of condition and once he's out he's cured and he can go back to his life as before.
Finnegan Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 You're talking about oj of the most powerful people on the planet. I mean, POTUS is powerful for a term or two. The like of Weinstein are gods in their own little worlds. A mixture of wealth and influence and he could do what he wanted for years.

I think that people in 'normal' circles would be picked up very quickly. I realise Savile and Weinstein don't operate in a normal world, but still can't really understand why those speaking out about what they were doing were so completely overlooked.
Jaspa Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 Saville was on a complete other level of ****ery in terms of what he was getting up to, this crusty guy was using his power to do the damn deed with some of the most highly regarded stunners on the planet, his position would turn one in a dozen men into predators, Ol' Jimmy is one in a million. Clearly he overstepped his boundaries a long time ago and some of these girls think its just something they have to do to get to where they want to be. That audio clip shows though just how much of a creep he is and what he thinks he can do to people who dont want any of it. Problem is this type of thing is much bigger than one Hollywood boss
Guest Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 I (kind of) understand how saville could get away with it, as he was preying on vulnerable are largely silent members of the general public, and everyone was a bit more naive back in the 70s. And i sort of understand how money and influence can protect people like weinstein, but usually that's in the courtroom - all of these allegations should have at least gotten that far and not taken 20+ years to accumulate before real police action is being considered.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 I always wondered how Kate Beckinsale got work as an actress.

Jon the Hat Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 The thing I find hard to get my head around is this is a man who would have had his pick of willing actresses, and no doubt did, but no that wasn't enough.

It's about power, not sex - willing doesn't do it for men like that.
Guest Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 I'm curious as to the dynamics of his other relationships. His wife and ex-wife for example, did he treat them any differently when he first met them? If so, why? How can you have such a massive open-secret in what is probably the most papparazzi and gossip saturated industry?
Jattdogg Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 Should take his 300 million away from him and let him rot in prison with bubba and hank. I find it hard to believe he is the only w@nker doing this in hollywood. Would suspect is rampant with agents as well.

The Fox Covert Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 Ugly fvcker with a lopsided face as rough as a rhino's arse. I have seen better looking Big Issue sellers. I would love to hear if he ever got beaten up for his gross behaviour!!!
Max Wall Posted 15 October 2017 Posted 15 October 2017 These type of people work on the basis that no one talks because their career is virtually over if they do. Everyone in the movie business and many outside of it knew, there's been references to it several times down the years but his position was seen as too powerful. I expect other offenders to be 'outed' in the aftermath once Weinstein has been dealt with. This story will roll and roll now.

He will probably get praised when he gets out of rehab too for the giant ordeal he’s been put through.
ozleicester Posted 16 October 2017 Posted 16 October 2017 What gets me is the "powerful" people around who did and do nothing about pieces of sh!t like this... Brad Pitt knew.. Clooney knew...etc etc... fvck knows how many other superstars did nothing to end it.
lgfualol Posted 16 October 2017 Posted 16 October 2017 Hollywood is fvcked up. Peados everywhere. Corey Feldman was sexually abused in the 80s and was told he was "damaging an entire industry" when he finally had the courage to speak up about it. Then you get cvnts like Victor Salva who video'd himself molesting a 12 year old boy and after serving only 15 months for it, was allowed to direct more films like Jeepers Creepers.

I don't disagree, but I've seen with my own eyes instances of people being party to some really bad stuff where you assume that someone will blow the lid on it, but when it comes to the crunch, people really don't want to be that person. I think this is partly because folk assume that someone else will do it, or if you take responsibility and be that person you worry that people won't rally around, and you find yourself isolated even though everyone knows what's going on

Could be a career killer for most people.

Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year old girl in the late 70s and jumped bail before he could be sentenced. He's been living abroad ever since. They awarded him an Oscar in 2003 and the whole of Hollywood applauded.

Also never knew his wife got murdered by Charles Manson and he survived the holocaust, imagine that all happening to you and still being a cvnt.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 16 October 2017 Posted 16 October 2017 I doubt that Hollywood is any worse for this shit than any other situation where you've got people working alongside each other where there is a massive power imbalance. Weinstein had the power to make or break careers, and found himself in a situation where he could do what he liked, and get away with it
