From Aggressive Overtures to Sexual Assault: Harvey Weinstein’s Accusers Tell Their Stories. Now we’re up to rape claims. There’s a recording of a police sting at the link.
Three women––among them Argento and a former aspiring actress named Lucia Evans—told me that Weinstein raped them, allegations that include Weinstein forcibly performing or receiving oral sex and forcing vaginal sex. Four women said that they experienced unwanted touching that could be classified as an assault. In an audio recording captured during a New York Police Department sting operation in 2015 and made public here for the first time, Weinstein admits to groping a Filipina-Italian model named Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, describing it as behavior he is “used to.” Four of the women I interviewed cited encounters in which Weinstein exposed himself or masturbated in front of them.

The Italian (Filipina) actress did THE RIGHT THING and she sadly paid a price as he convinced the news to go after her own sexual past (and they did and that is why she did not pursue the matter any longer) and the cops and law embarrassingly did not pursue the matter and we found out that months after they received a donation from the Weinstein company.
This angers me because this issue could have been dealt with 10, 20 maybe even 30 years ago and had the news media or the law enforcement... heck even a few well established actresses come out to stand behind and in front of the model this issue could have been resolved three years ago.
How many women in these three years he got to...? That is on the law enforcement and the media as well as all the women of the decades past.
I read where Hillary will be donating her Weinstein political contribution to charity. Guess that's going straight into the Clinton Foundation, eh?
The only reason this is even an issue now is that some of the women he harassed became big enough names for it to matter. If it wasn't Asswipe Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, we still wouldn't know about this.
Ashley Judd needs to be asked about what she said at the women's rally the day after Trump was sworn in. Her "nasty woman" schtick where she said this, that, & the other about Trump, might have been stuff that Weinstein or some other Hollywood dirtbag did or tried doing to her. She needs to explain why she projected what Weinstein might have did to her onto Trump. I have a feeling, that we won't see that interview.

I try not to let my distaste for actors' political inclinations affect my enjoyment of their work, but in some cases it does anyway. Matt Damon is one guy I cannot stand to look at so I can no longer enjoy anything in which he has a part. Affleck I can still watch but Damon's self-righteousness and hypocrisy is so bad it makes me gag.
I'm cyberstalking you JP. I'm the opposite on those two tools. I can still watch Damon but Benzo not so much. Of course I never really liked his work that much anyhoo . He has an arrogant air about him that I don't care for. Damon, I think he's just stupid so I can watch his movies in spite of his political hate speech. Of course I'd never pay to wat h either. I'm a fan of cyber piracy.
Now his wife has left him:

The Harvmeister is about to be spending a crapton of $$ on legal fees.
And a huge divorce settlement.
Well, five days late, Obama finally released a statement about Weinstein:

If this was Trump, everybody would be screaming, "It's too late! It doesn't count because you were too late!" and demanding that he return the money he got from Weinstein. But it's Obama so the media will coo and ahh and give him props.
One of our local guys was talking this same point yesterday. Trump took two days to condemn david Duke, so they labeled him a racist. The liberati all took a week to access how it would affect their careers and political funding. Then they finally condemned him only after he gets the sack from his own Weinstein company. Seems that in comparing apples to apples, they all condone weinstein and all his sexual abuses.
The DA and his lawyer should both be disbarred.
Not just that, but they should be investigated for misconduct.
They all should have talked decades ago!

My husband said “Count Wankula”
I just spit out my ginger ale! Thats funny!
It looks like Mr. Winestain is going to be a rather large albatross for the Democratic Party, particularly the party Establishment of the Clintons and BO. The corpse rots from within.
