I know, like he's just happened to come to this conclusion - What he means is, he seeking help, because he's finally be caught, and will need to mitigate possible litigation damages and criminal charges.

Getting your defence in early.

There are far darker stories, Elijah Wood spoke out about predatory sexual behaviour against child actors - I believe one of those was Cory Haim (Cory Feldman at the time said he blamed a specific Hollywood Mogul for his early death - Related to abuse at that individuals hands.

Of course he didn't name the mogul either (who'd probably sue him into oblivion).

Let's not forget though that there were women here who turned him down and didn't report him and went on to have and still have massive careers.

Many people use calculation within their careers feeling compelled to do ethically incorrect things to get on or seeing others do ethically incorrect things and chose to do nothing about it. They become tainted by it. Of course when this ethically incorrect thing is sexual everything is multiplied ten times.

Essentially there is a question here about character, the reality is that most things in life involve trade offs and this is no different. We all know the brown nosing employee, most of us know of the good looking bird who got somewhere fast because she literally climbed that greasy pole.

If that had been my daughter I'd hope that she'd slap him and walk out and report him. But ultimately it's her decision. Some did do that and that's why we get his eventful downfall.

But the ones who went along with it....and then later on get out the pitchfork.....that's annoying. It's the ones who reported him who deserves all the praise....but most of those aren't famous I'd imagine.

How many careers died on the altar of Weinstein's boner? You have no idea, neither do I. But I would not be surprised if it were significantly more than those who managed to make a career without the taste of Harvey in their mouth.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Obviously if he raped anyone then Jail is the only answer...for a long time.

But all these fawning actress's who fcuked their way to the top moaning like cheap whores now can fcuk off, they made a concious decision to "sell" their bodies for fame and fortune.

I'm sure there are plenty of actress's out there who didn't. Did he abuse his position of power ... of course but unless he was a multiple rapist then the choice was there's money and fame for a quick fcuk and they took it.

A flasher was interviewed by the Met police some 20 years ago.
He reckoned he had a 20% success rate. (much more than me)

How are you meant to get a sh@g. if you don't ask ?

I disengage, I turn the page.

The ones who are speaking out are the ones who were pressured by Weinstein to have sex with him against their wishes, physically blocked by Weinstein from leaving when they refused, had him pull out his junk in front of them, had him jack himself off while they were unable to leave, and were groped, mauled and kissed by Weinstein against their wishes.

The ones who f***ed their way to the top aren't the ones speaking out. They're the ones shutting the f*** up. You're raging at the wrong people here.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
