Last week, the New York Times reported that elite media mogul Harvey Weinstein paid off sexual harassment accusers for decades. The New York Times, however, cannot be praised for breaking this bombshell report as the publication sat on and hid this story from the public since 2004.
Harvey Weinstein’s abuses of power and reach were unparalleled.
Having founded Miramax with his brother Bob in 1979, the two began by producing several independent films. In 1993, Disney bought Miramax for $80 million. Even after the Disney deal, Harvey and Bob Weinstein remained head of the company until 2005 when it was announced that they would leave Miramax to form The Weinstein Company.
Truly, the full scope of Weinstein’s reach is encapsulated in the movies his companies produced. With celebrities coming forward, among them Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Tomi-Ann Roberts, Rosanna Arquette, and others, against Weinstein – and that doesn’t even include all of his accusers – it seems that Harvey had à la carte choice of any girl he wanted, anytime.
It’s troubling as well that the whole of Hollywood and Democratic elites (whom Weinstein donated generously to over the years) didn’t condemn him or his actions until after he was fired. In other words, celebrities didn’t speak up until they knew it wouldn’t negatively impact their career; politicians didn’t speak up until they knew their cash flow had ended. After days of deafening silence, numerous actors and actresses spoke out en masse against Weinstein but it’s simply an empty gesture. Had any of them criticized and condemned Weinstein before his firing, that would be worth something. The fact they all waited to be sure they couldn’t be blacklisted from the industry shows their lack of actual concern.
This abuse and harassment has been going on for a long time – and it isn’t just perpetrated by Harvey Weinstein.
It also seems media outlets are complicit in hiding this type of behavior. Along with the New York Times hiding Weinstein’s indefensible actions since 2004, NBC sat on the story since this August – shelving NBC News correspondent, Ronan Farrow’s, months-long investigative report into Weinstein’s sexual misconducts. It’s negligent and completely hypocritical for the same media publications that insulated and protected Weinstein’s actions from seeing the light of day to accuse the President of being a misogynistic, sexual predator with no proof.
What do we have proof of? Weinstein’s sexual deviations…
Weinstein attempted again and again to coerce an actress to watch him shower and admitted to groping her on tape. This is the behavior the New York Times and NBC willingly sat on; therefore, they allowed Weinstein’s cycle of victims to continue. Both publications should and must be held accountable for their brazen lack of morals and ethics; their actions are grotesque and disgusting and should never be forgotten.
Weinstein reportedly begged Louisette Geiss – formerly of “Two and a Half Men” and “The Drew Carey Show” – to watch him masturbate in the hot tub of his hotel a decade ago. On Wednesday, actress Cara Delevingne also came forward to share her experience with Weinstein. After an audition, Harvey invited her up to his hotel room but Delevingne denied the offer initially, but after Weinstein’s assistant encouraged her to go up, she did. Once in his hotel room, Weinstein told Delevingne to kiss another woman in the room. Before refusing and leaving, Weinstein also tried to kiss Delevingne on the mouth. Even as early as 2015, Weinstein was under fire for “groping” model Ambra Battilana but the case was thrown out by the Manhattan DA.
Again, I stress, this sickening behavior was hidden and sat on by the New York Times and NBC.
As for the argument that Weinstein’s behavior wasn’t common knowledge among Hollywood celebs, check out this clip starting at 3:24:
Host Seth MacFarlane quips, all the way back in 2013:
Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.
The idea that Weinstein’s sexual misconducts were clandestine and unknown to the majority is totally bogus. If Seth MacFarlane is joking about it on The Oscars, it’s common knowledge among the industry and the elite. Even a scene on the NBC show, 30 Rock lambasted Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuses in 2012. His devious and revolting behavior is rife for pop culture references but it was unknown to the whole of Hollywood. Don’t make me laugh.
Rose McGowan – who has also come forward with allegations against Weinstein – blasted Ben Affleck after he released a statement saying that he’s “sad and angry” after reading about Weinstein’s decades of abuse. McGowan claims that she told Affleck about her abuse at the hands of Weinstein years ago; so for him to claim ignorance is in direct contradiction with that. Even more surprising, actress Hilarie Burton has come forward with an allegation against Affleck himself, saying that he groped her on TRL in 2003 when she was “just a kid”. Affleck apologized hours after the story came to light.
With Weinstein – the top dog of Hollywood – being deposed, celebs and execs are seemingly beginning to turn on each other and eating their own…
…And speaking of the leftist Establishment eating their own…
CNN criticized Obama’s and Clinton’s lack of condemnation toward Weinstein. For once, CNN succinctly hits the nail on the head:
Weinstein has long been a Clinton donor with ties to the political family. Weinstein was one of many from Hollywood who donated to Bill Clinton’s legal defense fund in the 1990s, a Washington Post report from the time stated. More recently, the Clintons rented a home next to Weinstein in the Hamptons in 2015, and Weinstein served as a connector between Hollywood stars and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
Going even further, CNN points out:
CRP’s OpenSecrets website shows Weinstein was a bundler for Obama as well, and the Hollywood giant visited the White House on several occasions during Obama’s tenure. At a White House event for student films in 2013, first lady Michelle Obama credited Weinstein for making the event happen and praised him as a wonderful person and a good friend.
You’d think, after the scores of women coming forward against Weinstein, that being male in Hollyweird would spare you from sexual abuse… but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Both Rob Schneider and Terry Crews came out as victims of sexual harassment at the hands of high level Hollywood execs and Schneider stressed that Weinstein is not alone in his gross sexual misconduct.
After all of this, the countless stream of actresses coming out to expose Weinstein as the serial abuser he is – justice will at least be served.
Except it isn’t. On Tuesday night, Weinstein boarded a private jet for Europe, en route for a rehab center for sex addiction; a la pedophile Roman Polanski in 1978 who fled to France after pleading guilty to having sex with a teenager. After victimizing and abusing an unknown number of women, Weinstein gets off scot-free simply because he’s attending rehab.
The larger problem here is the culture of complicity that has been created and abused by people like Weinstein. Why didn’t all of these actresses come out long before this? Having kept quiet for so long, even as victims of his actions, they covered for Weinstein and perpetuated his cycle of sexual abuse. If Weinstein was able to get away with sexually abusing the rich and powerful for so long; what other execs and directors are currently using their status to sexually mistreat women and be covered for?
Of course, though, Weinstein’s repulsive behavior is all the fault of President Trump. Let’s be clear: Weinstein’s actions are no one’s fault but his own. As badly as mainstream media outlets attempt to connect Weinstein’s dehumanizing, soulless serial abuses to Trump’s infamous Access Hollywood “grab ’em by the pussy” tape and the bogus and debunked claims of harassment that came out against him during the election, it’s just not going to happen.
For one, the only thing able to be dug up on Trump is the Access Hollywood tape; and saying something is a far stretch from doing it, as Harvey Weinstein can tell you. Leftist, liberals, Hollywood celebrities will criticize and chastise for off-hand remarks but give standing ovations to guilty pedophiles and think nothing of double standards. As the mainstream media blames and connects Trump to Weinstein’s decades-long string of sexual abuse, ask yourself this…
Would the Weinstein scandal have even been allowed to come out if Hillary Clinton won the Presidency?
I don’t think so…
Finally, consider this:
What are the odds that multiple prominent male figures associated with Hillary Clinton are serial sexual predators?
- Bill Clinton, her husband, has been accused of rape multiple times…
- Jeffrey Epstein, whom Bill Clinton flew with upwards of 26 times on Epstein’s private jet dubbed “The Lolita Express”…
- Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, who was sentenced to 2 years in prison for sexting with a 15 year old…
- Her 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta, famously wrapped up in a remarkable conspiracy theory about child sex rings within America’s political system…
And now…
- Her most loyal and generous Hollywood donor, Harvey Weinstein.
At what point does coincidence become a trend?
Then again, who knows, Weinstein may have simply been sacrificed to keep the attention and focus off of another major scandal brewing…
Only time will tell.
The “casting couch” has been a staple of Hollywood perversion for decades, if not a century. If you observe who “runs” Hollywood, you will have your answer. It is a loosely-guarded “secret” that Israel at is the center of international prostitution, commonly called “white slavery” and that this is primarily an business run by the “chosen”…
Hey – how could my humor get a down vote?
A laugh is good for you.
Edit: my original comment disappeared. 1st time that happened.
Just because.
I never imagined I’d be defending Weinstein. He is an awful person, no doubt.
Weinstein isn’t that bad, in Hollywood. He went after adult female actresses – most of whom apparently had no problem with this, or with screwing all of the financial backers, until after Hollywood stopped calling them.
There are people in the industry doing the same things Weinstein did, but to children. Everyone knows – the parents know (they’re usually the pimps, and often it’s a single mother renting out her kids, with full knowledge), the studios know, the police know. Nothing happens, because of the money involved. It’s not a new thing, either.
If anything, Weinstein is being tossed under the bus, because he has too many scruples for Hollywood.
Word has it Ole Humping Harvey first realized Meryl Creep’s acting ability when she faked orgasms with him.
The next shoe to drop is that other Joo over at NBC ,Oppenheimer, spiking the story.
If there is a personal financial connection ,. NBC needs to be sued out of existence.
More stars from the hit series, ‘As the world burns…..’
While I feel bad for any victims of rape/true sexual harassment(women,feel free to view me as a piece of attractive meat!)this has all be known to be a horrid part of Hollywood going on since it’s inception/birth.While glad brought into the light really in bigger picture of world and events low on me radar.I also believe doubt much will change there on a long term basis.Tales in the past especially of children being screwed with literally if proven beyond doubt just kill the offenders,simple and this is all the time I will spend on this insanity,my solution works.
Security at rock concerts……they’re the gatekeepers to the band. They pick and choose who gets to go visit whoever. Stories are legendary and the irony is the rock start is AT BEST, getting sloppy seconds. Poetic, huh?
An excellent article proving, once again, that in spite of all the charades generated via the Hollyweird Grand Illusion, we’re not fooled. However, given the depths of depravity throughout all echelons of western civilization today, I suspect this newfound morality and repentance is merely another scene on the screen; and that, after a few short months, it will simply rewind back to the same as it ever was:

Unparalleled? Sorry to say nope.
Nothing new under the sun. It has been going on in Hollywood for eons. It is, the essence of Hollywood.
The stories of female ‘Stars’ being ‘discovered’ at a Hollywood lunch counter are too numerous to count. The strikingly beautiful young woman is invited to do a ‘screen test’. Many are called few are chosen. For every Marilyn Monroe there are countless women who don’t climb the ladder.
What is strange about Weinstein is the insatiable nature of his ‘advances’ and the crudity of his technique. I guess when you are as physically repulsive as he is even being a powerful studio mogul doesn’t guarantee a successful seduction so he had to resort to crude and disgusting attempts on EVERY woman he encountered in order to increase his odds of finding one who would submit.
If only the sheeple would turn against ALL of Hollywood and cast out the soul less purveyors of filth, violence, drugs, Cultural Marxism and blatant in-your-face immorality, they would take a financial hit that would bring them to their demise. The NFL is finding out. I don’t think the low life scum claiming to be your better in Hollywood is paying attention, yet.
Ya’ know …….
I’m thinking all this stuff would just sort of have been overlooked if the leftists -including the exposed Hollywood perverts- hadn’t gone to such great lengths to try to push obviously phony sex scandal stuff about Trump.
Things cast at others have a tendency to return to their point of origin, or as some say, “the chickens come home to roost”.
Marilyn Monroe, “I’ll never have to suck another Jewish cock again!”
Marilyn and the Jews:
http://www.whale.to/c/marilyn_monroe8.html
Early in Monroe’s career as a struggling actress, the Jewish head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, invited her to an overnight cruise on his yacht. Monroe was required to strip naked for Cohn in his office. As she bent over, at his direction, he approached her, penis in hand. When she declined his advances, said Monroe, “I had never seen a man so angry” (Jordan, 91; Wolfe, 211-212). Cohn then “banned her from the [Columbia] lot after she refused to accompany him on a yacht to Catalina Island” (Leaming, 8). “You know,” Monroe once said, “that when a producer calls an actress into his office to discuss a script that isn’t all he has in mind … I’ve slept with producers. I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t” (Summers, 34-35). In 1955, 20th Century Fox awarded Monroe the richest per-film contract of any actress. “It means,” remarked Monroe, “I’ll never have to suck another cock again!” (McDougal, 217).
The network of Jewish men that controls Hollywood has always been characterized by an intense sexual fixation on the shiksa — shiksa being a derogatory slur for a Gentile woman, literally signifying “unclean animal” according to its Yiddish etymology. Hence the ubiquitous “casting couch,” a Hollywood institution that provided Jewish powerbrokers access to otherwise unavailable non-Jewish women, whom they despised as non-Jews yet idealized as avatars of alien sexual desirability. The shiksa thus became the ultimate sexual trophy. The Jews who ruled Hollywood, noted Hollywood rabbi Edgar Magnin, “were men who made all that money and realized they were still a bunch of Goddamned Jews. Sleeping with a pretty gentile girl made them feel, if only for a few minutes, ‘I’m half gentile.’ No wonder they made idols out of shiksa goddesses.”
Get a screen name ya anti-semite fuck.
Otherwise how can we keep the joo-bashers straight?
Here we go with the “anti-semite” bullshit again. Once again it is an imaginary term for an imaginary people. Those assholes have been fucking us for very long time. One day it will be their turn. I hope I live to see that day. Walter Block, a Jewish professor at Loyola University has been assembling a list of Jewish Libertarians. It’s not very long…maybe 40 names.
So you are hoping to live long enough to see imaginary people who are described by imaginary words and who have been “fucking” you over meet an ill fate.
You’re maybe posting from a mental institution or something?
In my mental institution, semitic is a group of languages that include arabic and aramaic. It is not a people. Likewise, european jews are of the ethnic composition of the european countries from which they originate. They can certainly fuck us, but it doesnt make them any more hebrew or have any claim on Palestine than I do. Do you get that or are to stupid to be admitted to my institution?
Yes indeed those Hollywood people are disgusting degenerate hypocrites. Their friends in politics , the media and academia are just like them. That said, this is a molehill made into a mountain. It is just a business deal. Whores and their unscrupulous male counter parts exchange sexual favors for lots of money and celebrity. Those who don’t fuck or suck don’t get the money or celebrity. Weinstein made an offer and the hoes either accepted or rejected. Most males make similar unwanted sexual advances all the time. They start about age 12. The offers are usually on a much smaller scale. This is all about the money the VICTiMS didn’t get not the sex.
” Most males make similar unwanted sexual advances all the time. They start about age 12.”
Explain please, exactly how a male is supposed to know (IN ADVANCE) if a given female finds sexual advances unwanted? Shall all males sit quietly in a corner until approached by a desirable female? Shall all males give up on sexual advances entirely, depending on females to advertise interest first?
I don’t think I made many unwanted advances, given that I married early and have two children. But I’d be lying if I said I was never rejected.
I don’t know about your experiences, but many females will not act first; they have been conditioned against it. While overpopulation is a problem, it’s only because lower IQ folks reproduce more frequently . Are you intending to lower the overall IQ of the population by discouraging higher-IQ males from making any sexual advances at any time?
Hollywood is a strange place indeed.
Unwanted sexual advance is just a fascist straw man the left uses to put men on the defensive. You are right it’s impossible to know in advance. That is my point.
How come no one has mentioned the talent agencies? They had to know, they talk to their clients.
Why aren’t they being vilified as pimps? Burn Hollywood to the ground. ( metaphorically.)
Many actors have said bad things about Harvey Weinstein, but he’s not angry about it.
Weinstein responded by saying, “Actors are the kind of people I can really get behind.”
Weinstein reportedly always took Wednesday’s off because it was his favorite day of the week, he often called it hump day.
Harvey said, All the accusations are false, and that he’s just a Poor Fat Jew Slob trying to get lucky…

Have you lost your mind!? Dismissing Donald Trump from Harvey and the rest of this group of ‘thugs in suits’? Donald Trump is every bit a guilty of this behavior and the folks that are still trying to hold on to Trump as some how being different are either as stupid as stupid gets or they are just trying to coverup their own mistake of voting for him… even though the alternative was actually IDENTICAL to him in female form, then the other alternatives should have been chosen out of protest. But instead, they voted for Trump ‘the moron’ who they insist is some how NOT a part of the ‘Elite’? Seriously? Man, you folks who are STILL DEFENDING Trump are unbelievably ‘tolerant’ of his total dumb-ass actions and statements and defend him to the end while all of his friends around him are one by one going down and somehow Trump is not like them? I mean all of these people hang out with each other and have for DECADES and you think Trump is not complicit?
Sad.
Proof, please, and one off-camera clip of Trump’s “locker room” talk to a low-life who didn’t tell him he was being recorded, kept it for a decade of silence and sprang it on him opportunistically doesn’t count.
Trump has ex-wives who defended him during the campaign. How many can say the same?
“Try to live your life so that if they convened a jury of your ex-girlfriends you wouldn’t get the death penalty for a parking offense”.
