Discussion: Harvey Weinstein Indicted On Three New Charges

Obviously Harvey must have stopped contributing to Vance’s slush fund.

Gotta save it for the defense lawyers. Do we know the caliber of defense lawyers Weinstein has as compared to, oh say the POTUS?

The updated indictment alleges that he “engaged in oral sex by forcible compulsion” around July 10, 2006.

Forced oral sex? Somehow, this strikes me as carrying the very high risk of becoming a middle-aged eunuch.

Weinstein has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex,

He is such a catch, after all.

I watched Shakespeare In Love the other night, not for the first time, and it shocked me to see his name on the list of producers now that we know how terrible he made life for Paltrow. The films he produced will remain worth watching but not because he produced them but because of their enduring quality

When he turned himself into the police they had to put three sets of handcuffs on him because his fat arms couldn’t reach back far enough with just one.

He is such a troll….as in the kind that live under bridges.

Do you think Weinstein had anything to do with how Paltrow turned out? I like a lot of her work on screen, especially Shakespeare in Love, but off screen? She really has gone off in some semi-lucid direction. She’s gotten so weird that i have a hard time seeing her and separating her acting from her Goop. Maybe that’s just me, though.

Edit to add that this is from my strictly male POV, as well.

These women and some men thought they were alone when they were assaulted, They’re all gratified to know now they weren’t.

It’s said to be the film that put her on the map because she won Best Actress Oscar for it and he’d thrown a ton of money behind its publicity campaign. I’ve liked a few since then, but Goop’s too weird for me and I couldn’t afford what they’re offering anyway.

Yeah….saw that. Just a few from a veeeeeeeeery long list. I noticed they didn’t include Leeann Tweeden. Poor girl suffered a scripted kiss and a pretend grope, after all … in between groping and humping her other skit co-stars.

Even if you could afford it, why bother?! :grimacing:

Indeed. There are still some parts that work perfectly well without outside interference. :innocent:

There should have been more profiles of women in the restaurant industry. Their stories are horrifying but the one woman who was profiled spoke about Batali. I remember him saying something on air about Giada De Laurentiis and her “great rack.”

Maybe they’ll do a series. Certainly enough material for it. If these kind of women could be victims, can you imagine what it’s like for the more vulnerable?

Hey, i get compliments on my rack all the time. People see the Thule on my truck and say, “Nice rack!”

What can i say? Other guys envy my rack. I have to admit it is pretty nice.

On Mario Batali, though, EEEWWWW!!! Never liked him on TV. But, that’s just me.

I boycotted Woody Allen when he got together with his legal adopted daughter. I won’t watch misogynist comedy. But I can’t let go of my love for “Frieda” because it’s a great film. It has nearly ruined it for me to hear Selma Hyak’s experience with Weinstein, I’ll never be able to see it now without thinking of how horrible he was to her and all the other females he encountered.
