Harvey Weinstein

“Most of the successful people in Hollywood are failures as human beings.”
--Marlon Brando


Everyone has turned on Harvey Weinstein. There's not much you can say to question the motivation of the wealthy movie stars who are accusing him of sexual harassment and in some cases rape. Brad Pitt physically threatened him after he harassed Gwyneth Paltrow, but Matt Damon and violent recidivist criminal Russell Crowe helped quash a New York Times report on Weinstein's sex crimes in 2004.

Reporter Sharon Waxman had traveled to Italy to report on Fabrizio Lombardo, who Weinstein put in charge of Miramax Italy. "According to multiple accounts, he had no film experience and his real job was to take care of Weinstein’s women needs, among other things," she said.

Weinstein lumbered into the New York Times newsroom demanding they stop the story. He was a major advertiser in the paper.

"After intense pressure from Weinstein, which included having Matt Damon and Russell Crowe call me directly to vouch for Lombardo and unknown discussions well above my head at the Times, the story was gutted," she reports.

Rose McGowan attacked Ben Affleck for issuing a statement that he was "angry" about Weinstein harassing and assaulting women, but not admitting that he already knew about it. McGowan claimed that she told him about after Weinstein attacked her and that he responded, "GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT". He knew about it and all he did was tell him not to do it anymore?

Hillary Clinton has denounced Weinstein as have the Obamas.

I just hope this will be the end of him. Is it too late to send him to prison? I hope at the very least that he won't be rich anymore.
