Life won't be the same for powerful men in Hollywood, after The New York Times dropped details of an explosive investigation into the decades-long sexual proclivities of indy producer Harvey Weinstein.
Similar to a Fox News investigation, the Times reported that Mr. Weinsten has made at least eight settlements with women including actresses and assistants. Ashley Judd was among the women accusing Mr. Weinstein in the Times investigation.
Brooklyn Decker accused Hollywood of a double standard in their condemnations of Donald Trump and turning a blind eye to Mr. Weinstein, writes The New York Times in a followup piece.
“We condemn ‘grab them by the pussy’ and we condone this,” she said, referring to comments made by President Trump years ago, which were widely criticized when they surfaced during the presidential campaign.
Brie Larson, an actress (AOC calls them actors, but this article sets us back a few years) who advocates on behalf os sexual assault victims offered her support
"It's not your fault," she said. "I believe you."
Megan Ellison, the founder of Annapurna Pictures, which has produced “Detroit,” “American Hustle,” and “Zero Dark Thirty,” noted that women who speak out about sexual assault often face “serious repercussions,” and said that she admired their courage. Ellison is considered to be a rising star with more successes than Mr Weinstein in recent years.
