This is absolutely disgusting and I hope he gets sent to prison. I also hope the supposed child abuse ring is the next to get exposed

I hope this starts a chain reaction of exposing this type of abuse that I assume is rampant in Hollywood and everywhere else involving the rich and powerful.
So weird, I get that same I'll feeling reading about Weinstein as I did reading about Terry Richardson. We'll see what happens with Weinstein, but Richardson still works, I believe.

Fashion designer Donna Karan (DKNY) - defending Weinstein:

She has since apologized and said her comments are not representative of her beliefs..

Her 'apology' did not retract her defense of Weinstein or mention him by name.
A lot of really really awful stuff in there. Hopefully this leads to criminal charges against him and fallout for those who knew this was going on and did nothing.
Really reminds me of the whole Penn state issue with Sandusky where its going on for years and years, but is just being covered up.
Its horrible that he held such power that any woman who came forward to the police would likely have their careers ruined and have no charges filed against him.

What's this about her relationship with her father? The worst I've heard is that they're not that close because he was often consumed by his filmmaking when she was growing up.
Prison? Hell probably end up as President.
She elaborated a bit further in an interview with Filmmaker Magazine:
And consider how much that stings considering what her character goes through in The Stendahl Syndrome.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them
Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them
Anyone that read Down and Dirty Pictures could not even be remotely surprised that Harvey went after Gwyneth Paltrow, and I get the feeling that the author was told to hold back on some of the stuff that was known at the time since the book was made with Harvey's full cooperation.
This is only going to get worse before it gets better for that son of a bitch.

Having big names like Paltrow and Jolie reinforcing the stories pretty much ensures Weinstein's name is going to be mud. Nobody outside of some fringe assholes are going to be defending him. Don't expect the Polanski treatment.

Kimmel's the host so you can pretty much bank on it.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Yup, he's toast. The only question is do any other big names go down with him.
Damn, poor Asia...always been a fan of her.
These stories are so bizzare to read. This man using these women and then making them feel like he's their pal after awhile. He's so....casual about it.
Typically what I would assume when I heard of this scandal is just somebody forcing themselves on somebody angrily and then menacingly threatening them afterwards..but here, its like he's treating it like the world's most disturbing business handshake.
He gets in their heads. Its terrifying.

This has also been confirmed by the letters he sent when he asked for protection and time to go for therapy.
The sound clip is horrifying, monsterous behaviour.

More like what other big names will he drag down with him. This motherfucker will make sure he won't go down alone because he ain't alone

That Asia Argento story is legit disgusting, good lord. I think the amount of powerful celebrities coming out against Weinstein though, means his career is all but certainly dead at this point, thankfully.
Weinstein, since he has his production company, and used to almost always get a best picture nom. Cosby was always more respected / beloved though, so his downfall was considered even more shocking.

Disgusting and horrible.
And he really gave no fucks, showing how invulnerable he thought he was, from unknown apiring actresses all the way to Asia Argento, Patricia Arquette, Emma De Caunes and Mira Sorvino, to only name a few I'm sure.
Just... This culture of silence and intimidation needs to stop. Maybe putting all this out in thr open will encourage even more to come forward, and in many other cases, so that future victims can be spared.

Doubtful. Don't get caught is all they do.
The first question I would ask all these celebrities coming forward is who else has done this to you and been rumoured?
That's what needs to happen, let's see if they do.

And why would I want them?
He is fucked

Weinstein absolutely. Cosby is better known by the public. But Weinstein would be the one with more power.

Cosby might've been bigger at the peak of his career (and I'm not even sure of that), but as of now it's clearly Weinstein. He's a really powerful person in Hollywood.
This is disgusting. Look how many times she says no or that she wants to go somewhere else. He does not let go...
It's sad that his position likely shields him from consequences more than someone saying something at the Oscars.
Hopefully he goes to prison.
Not sure how to feel about the more well known actresses that finally speak up about this. They obviously chose to protect their career instead of the women that may not be so lucky in getting out of Weinstein's advances. I guess it just speaks to how much power he held over people when so many did nothing.
Game Over for this dude.

Good. I've been under the belief that no man, nor institution should become SO POWERFUL that they are allowed to normalize corruption, exploitation, immoral activity and inequality, while are kept safe through "bonds" of loyalty. The vices and egos of the "rich & powerful" should NOT hold greater importance over the well-being and equality of all people, including women, PoC, LGBT and so on.
Sometimes I wish a giant phantom axe appeared in the sky and went at it, chopping these fucks down to size. If anybody in the world deserves it, it is these fucks.

It takes immense courage to speak up. So I dont blame them. This is on Weinstein. Plus the rumors were there. They originated from somewhere.
Oh shittttt. Was only a matter of time before some big names dropped.
Edit: Brad Pitt confronted him about it, so he knew as well. Who DIDN'T know?

It's spreading like wildfire. I read a report, and i kid you not, that said this is coming out because Trump has one, media outlets are dying and news gets out easier as such. It made a case that a story like this would not have made it out during a Clinton presidency, completely disregarding the fact that the victims are the sole reason this story is out.
It's not much the right can do about this anyway. Weinstein was a good friend of Trump's and Melania's as well.
This is a bad fucking look for Hollywood as a whole though and this story is going to rock the industry and out your favorite actors.
Was about to say the same thing.
I pray she never actually ended up in a meeting with this guy..
