Where are all the vocal "feminists" like Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence now? I hate the hypocrisy where they condemn Trump (rightly) but condone Polanski and Weinstein just because they're one of their own. When have they ever said a kind word on Polanski? Anyways, Chastain is already on social media bashing Weinstein, which is good. Streep gave him a standing ovation at the Oscars and said he shouldn't be in jail when he was arrested in 2009. I didn't just mean only those two, I mean everyone in Hollywood, but both have been largely vocal about equality and feminist issues recently, but won't say anything about Weinslime as he helped campaign for their Oscars.

Well, the amount of people who give Polanski a pass is just disgusting.

So long Harvey, and nothing was lost. Guessing this means the end of The Weinstein Company can't be far along. Seems like Bob ratted him out in an attempt to save the company, but that may be too late.

Here comes the flood. Seriously, when will these power hungry assholes learn that someone is always keeping receipts on their bad behavior and it always comes to light.

What will be interesting to see is the way the actresses with ties to Harvey who love to jump at any chance to speak on women's issues or social issues, in general, respond to this. I'm thinking of Weinstein-hugging actresses like Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Watson. Are they really all about what they have been saying, or will they want to protect their business relationships? I feel a lot of these Hollywood stars are phonies who love to have the chance to be seen as righteous and indignant when it's convenient for them. They are selective about their outrage and activism. Is Jennifer Lawrence going to write another essay?

My man Mark Ruffalo on his Twitter: "To be clear what Harvey Weinstein did was a disgusting abuse of power and horrible. I hope we are now seeing the beginning of the end of these abuses."

Hopefully now the Oscars can go back to being about performances and not how much the studio campaigned for it.

Great to hear that he has been given the boot, but at the same time I somehow feel this won't change much in the grander scheme of things.

Apparently, the NYT buried a similar story 13 years ago. www.informationliberation.com/?id=57475Also, how come no one has brought this up? 🤔🤔🤔. Are you still jolly good Democrats, MA? If you're, you're literally supporting and advocating a sexual predator.

If you're, you're literally supporting and advocating a sexual predator. *Ahem* Coming from a waffling Republican/Democrat here: His visits to the Obama white house mean nothing at all. If he became friends with the Obamas because of his position, he would be visiting them, yes. And all of those tweets at the end of the article are nonsense. And in what way is supporting Obama supporting a sexual predator???? That said... I don't have the details on this reporter, but it doesn't surprise me in the slightest to hear that her story was silenced.

Oh honeys, prompted by Meryl's statement, my publicist thought I should put one out as well.
I'm sure you've all been thinking Ms_Movie_Star's silence has been deafening, which is actually quite surprising since I normally don't shut up about myself...

According to the article, Matt Damon and Russell Crowe helped bury the story. I mean everyone in Hollywood had to know...

I like that we are also keeping receipts for actors like Streep, Damon, and Lawrence because they aren't fooling anyone either. Hypocrites and liars. Actors are so damn greedy. They could just be famous on their movies, but want more money, awards and adulation and sell their souls for it too. No moral compass. And Streep has the nerve to blame everyone but herself.

Oh please STFU! WTF does Lawrence have to do with this in ANY way shape or form? WTF did she do wrong? NOTHING! And neither did Streep, whose statement was concise, sincere & on the money. Get off your fucking high horse and put the blame where it belongs...NOT on actors who benefitted from his support. If Harvey had campaigned for me, I wouldn't have stopped him. So sue me. No moral compass? I'd love to see your skeletons. Either SJW stooge or Republican-apologist, I bet.

Well, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of top level actresses who did in fact sell their soul to Harvey in order to get that part. Who? It is anyone's guess.
