Live Coverage from CBS News
Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison on rape conviction
Why are you left wingers so predictably unpatriotic and unappreciative?
Hey....moron...hilary, bill, michelle, barak, oprah, all of hollywood, the democrat late night comedians, and the democrat minions in the press.....notably clinton minion george stephanopolous protected harvey and silenced his accusers......ABC and NBC squashed stories about the guy....
You moron.
How do you know that any, some, or all of these people whom you listed knew of what Weinstein had been doing before the allegations against him first surfaced in the latter part of 2018 and then acted to protect him and silence his accusers? What actions did they take? What would your reference to "all of hollywood" mean, given that many of his accusers are themselves in the entertainment industry? It appears that you are just throwing out internet rumors and conspiracy theories.
It was an open secret...
Harvey Weinstein: Did everyone really know?
One of the common themes of the accounts that have emerged is that Weinstein employees would set up meetings with young women and often accompany them to hotel rooms before disappearing and leaving the women and the producer alone.
-----
British producer Alison Owen, who has worked on films like Saving Mr Banks and Suffragette, told BBC News his behaviour was "an open secret".
"Everyone had heard the stories about Harvey," she said. "If you were in the film industry, there was no way you could not have heard those stories about Harvey.
"I never heard a story from the horse's mouth. But there were always stories about, 'Oh an actress told me', or 'Someone working at Harvey's company told me', or 'Did you hear about that intern who worked for Harvey?'
"So they were always second-hand but they were many and multifarious."
------
Rebecca Traister wrote on New York magazine's The Cut website that she first heard the allegations in 2000 - but that Weinstein "could spin - or suppress - anything".
She continued: "For decades, the reporters who tried to tell the story of Harvey Weinstein butted up against the same wall of sheer force and immovable power that was leveraged against those ambitious actors, the vulnerable assistants, the executives whose careers, salaries, and reputations were in his hands."
So for years, people who did know could only talk in whispers or, like Seth MacFarlane, under the guise of jokes that were funny only because they rang true.
The article mentioned his current and former employees and his "inner circle." Those attacked in Hollywood or purportedly in England did not speak out until years later when they felt that they now had an avenue to do so. You just made a list of people who are Democratic politicians or who might have known him socially or known who he was in the industry and might be supporters of the Democratic Party. trump was once friends with Epstein. What did trump know, when did he know it, and did he report him?
