Say what you like about Rosie but she has got some big balls on her.
Papers today also allege he made "unwanted sexual advances" towards Anna Friel. Looks like the worms are turning....

Hopefully this is just the beginning and all the other sleaze bags will be forced out along with all those who kept their mouths shut when they could have stopped it happening. It would be great if someone used next years oscar ceremony to publicly name and shame hollywoods enablers " and the best actor oscar goes to Meryl Streep for her denial of any knowledge of Weinsteins casting couch " the greatest performance since George Clooney's denial two hours earlier.

Brother Bob is in the firing line now. It looks like movies aren't the only Weinstein family business.

So Clooney and Damon have finally admitted that they knew about Weinstein and his activities, damon also says Ben Affleck knew about Gwyneth Paltrow being harassed as it was affleck who told him, which means Rose was right all along when she called him out about his denial.
Once again Rose is proved correct and just goes to show what a bunch of hypocritical scumbags they all are.

Lots of noise gathering about the hypocrisy regarding convicted paedophile Roman Polanski as well.
Not only is he still a member of the oscar academy thing (along with fellow paedo Woody Allen and serial rapist and famous movie actor (joke!) Bill Cosby), but many of these a-listers were happy to work with Polanski in exile. Harrison Ford not only worked with him, he travelled out to give him the oscar he was awarded while on the run from his prison sentence, good work there oscar academy!
Many of these people also signed a petition some years ago to demand Polanski's freedom when he was arrested and threatened with being deported back to the states to serve his time. I don't recall any of them showing the same kind of consideration to the 13 year old girl he was convicted of raping and sodomizing!

You are right , Meryl Streep led a standing ovation for polanski when he was awarded the oscar and many hollywood stars did sign the petition asking for him to to be allowed back. However since the backlash began some of those same stars are now having their names removed, including of all people Asia Argento who now says she is ashamed to have signed it and Emma Thompson who unbelievably claims she had no idea about what he had done. I cannot say it enough their hypocrisy stinks, smugly preaching to those they deem in need of their wisdom and guidance when all the while they are happy to work and associate with the lowest of the low, all in the name of their so called art.
But in their defence we should remember its as Academy committee member Whoppi Goldberg says...what Polanski did wasn't really Rape..Rape was it.

The big fashion magazines are now distancing themselves from the photographer Terry Richardson, over alleged inappropriate interaction with models.

RE: Hollywood casting couch - lancealot790 - 25-10-2017 18:41
Its a bit late for the fashion mags to jump on the bandwagon, models have been complaining about him for a decade and the agencies/mags dismissed the complaints as nothing and carried on sending him vulnerable young girls just starting out in their career, who were then used for his disgusting so-called art
Richardson is a talentless perverted scumbag.

The stark details of the latest Weinstein horror story are a vivid testamony on why it can take these women so long to speak out publicly: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/weighing-the-costs-of-speaking-out-about-harvey-weinstein
The harassment story is apparently about to spread to the UK political sphere.
