Hollywood casting couch

With the Harvey Weinstein scandal finally being brought into the limelight, does anybody really believe that all of hollywoods major stars knew nothing about what was happening?

I honestly don't see the big deal. It was a guy with power that wanted to get his end away. I'm sure there are plenty of actresses that played ball with him that are conspicuous by their silence. He didn't force himself on them or rape them. He changed his luck, that's all. Big fuckin' deal.

The big deal is that not everybody was a willing participant including the woman he trapped and forced to watch him masturbate into a plant pot or the Italian actress he groped who then called the police on him. Those scummy hollywood bigshots are always lecturing people on equality and women rights but kept there mouths firmly shut when it came to Weinstein abusing his position. Now their little secret is out in the open they all deny any knowledge of what was going on, their hypocrisy stinks.

Interesting perspective from Clooney here - particularly on Hollywood not engaging the precursor of such behaviours and society's complicity: https://amp.thedailybeast.com/george-clo...-of-levels

He is now being accused of rape by three women including Asia Argento.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie have made accusations now.

He's fucked and deservedly so.

Complete bollocks, Clooney is trying to deflect the spotlight away from hollywood and himself by making the issue about society in general. All the scummy celebs lining up to condemn a man some of them were openly calling god makes me sick. They would have you believe that they knew nothing about what he was doing despite it being one of hollywoods worst kept secrets. None of them gave a shit about his abuse of power as long as he could help their careers. Clooney, Streep, Damon, Jlaw and the rest of hollywoods liberal elite couldn't keep their mouths shut when Trump made some stupid comment but said nothing about a series predator in their midst.

I hope the public finally see through their self righteous bullshit and see them for hypocritical twats they all are.

^ There is something in what you say. But this is in no way an issue of the politics of right and left.

I wouldn't be surprised if similar situations haven't occurred within the babe channel industry.

I'm sure many questionable things have happened in order to get hosts to join or stay at a channel.

Especially because the majority of the people behind the cameras and in the offices are men.

Most presenters probably joined a channel at 18 naïvely thinking they'd become rich and famous.

To then only to end up in an unhealthy situation after being abused.

This is not about their political allegiances, its about their willingness to condemn the words of one man while secretly condoning the actions of another. Their condemnation of weinstien is nothing more than damage limitation, they are trying to distance themselves from the potential fallout of the scandal. They all like to portray themselves as holier than thou but really all they care about is their image and they would throw anyone under the bus to protect it.
