I don't know if that's what you are alluding to, but in his book and various interviews Corey Feldman talked about the child sexual abuse that is prelevant in Hollywood. In fact, when he was interviewed by the police for MJ's 1993 case he told them a name. Only it wasn't MJ's name, so they ignored that information. They just tried to get him say MJ molested him. It pisses me off how all these years they have been on a witch hunt against MJ when the real perverts are out there. Wait... Corey told them A NAME, and they ignored it?! What the hell.... how desperate were they that they didn't bother to investigate unless it was MJ... did Corey tell that story or where do you get that information from? Yes, he did give them a name. It was reported by Celebrity Justice in 2005 when they played some extracts from Corey's police tape from 1993. It's around 3:27 in the first video. They don't show that part and they don't tell what name it was, but it is on the tape.

How come that those low lives can do this for decades? I don't wanna know what big names are actually involved in this.

Does anyone else find it a little absurd that the Academy voted to kick Weinstein out?

This case has really made big waves. Weinstein has over 30 accusers now, but it also goes beyond him. Many other women are coming out to talk about sexual abuse by men in various situations. Even in my country actresses came out to say they too were abused in professional situations - eg. auditions. Seems like a very widespread problem that some men don't know boundaries.

LOS ANGELES — The embattled Weinstein Company on Monday secured a financial lifeline — and possible new owner — from an investor with experience in distressed Hollywood assets. But the fate of the studio, including whether its co-founder Bob Weinstein would stay involved, remained far from resolved. Tarak Ben Ammar, one of three remaining Weinstein Company board members, said in a statement on Monday that the studio, reeling from sexual harassment allegations made against the company’s other co-founder, Harvey Weinstein, had reached a preliminary agreement with Colony Capital for an “immediate” cash infusion. The amount was undisclosed. Mr. Ammar also said that Colony, which rescued Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch from foreclosure in 2008, had entered negotiations to buy all or most of the Weinstein Company’s movie and television holdings. Thomas J. Barrack Jr., founder of Colony Capital, said in a statement that he believed the sullied studio “has substantial value and growth potential.” A deal is expected to take three weeks or more to complete. In the spring of 2008, Colony bailed out Michael Jackson, who was on the verge of default over a $24.5 million mortgage for Neverland Ranch, his 2,500-acre playground in Santa Ynez, Calif. When Jackson died in 2009, the ranch wound up in Colony’s hands. Renamed Sycamore Valley Ranch, the property was relisted this year for $67 million. That’s down from the $100 million original listing price two years ago. www.nytimes.com/2017/10/16/business/media/weinstein-colony-capital.html

What a creep. "I'm a famous guy" reminds me of a certain someone who said "when you're a star, they let you do anything". Nothing new under the sun.

What a creep. "I'm a famous guy" reminds me of a certain someone who said "when you're a star, they let you do anything". Nothing new under the sun. God this is sickening. I'm glad this revolting motherfucker is getting his downfall. Speaking of Trump, here's a list of every person who has come out about him abusing them: - Ninni Laaksonen, former Miss Finland. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt” in July 2006. - Jessica Drake. Said Trump grabbed and kissed her without consent, then offered her 10K for sex in 2006. - Karena Virginia. Says she was groped by Trump at the U.S. Open in 1998. - Cathy Heller. Says Trump grabbed her and attempted to kiss her at Mar-a-lago in 1997. - Summer Zervos. Apprentice contestant says Trump started kissing her and grabbing her breasts, began "thrusting his genitals." 2007. - Kristin Anderson. Said Trump reached under her skirt and grabbed her vagina through her underwear in the early 1990s. - Jessica Leeds. Said Trump lifted up the armrest, grabbed her breasts and reached his hand up her skirt in the early 1980s. - Rachel Crooks. Says she was assaulted by Trump in an elevator in Trump Tower in 2005. - Mindy McGillivray. Says Trump groped her while she was attending a concert at Mar-a-lago in 2003. - Natasha Stoynoff. Says Trump pushed her against a wall and jammed his tongue down her throat at Mar-a-lago in 2005. - Jennifer Murphy. Apprentice contestant says Trump kissed her on the lips after a job interview in 2005. - Cassandra Searles. Says Trump grabbed her ass and invited her to his hotel room in 2013. - Temple Taggart McDowell. Former Miss Utah says Trump kissed her directly on the lips the first time she met him in 1997. - Jill Harth. Says Trump repeatedly sexually harassed her and groped her underneath a table in 1993. - “Jane Doe” or Katie J. In June, a California woman — “Jane Doe” ― filed a lawsuit alleging that Trump raped her at a party when she was 13 years old. Video testimony from Katie J, who accuses Trump of raping her at 13. 1994 - Ivana Trump. In a 1992 deposition during their divorce, Trump’s first wife described an incident in which she says her then-husband forced her to have sex with him.
Of course never mind Trump's perverse sexual nature, speaking highly about his own daughter in a sexual manner, openly admitting on national radio to walking into changing rooms of teenage girls dressing and, of course, him joyfully discussing how he uses his power to get what he wants.

I'm disgusted by how many men defend or excuse this. I'm a regular reader of a political website where the core audience are mainly young-middle aged white men. The response to this is disgusting. Sexist remarks, the "they were probably asking for it" defense and the like. And BTW these men consider themselves liberal, enlightened and progressive. But it's still the Balkan, I guess.

How disgusting of Tarantino his girlfriend at the time, Mira Sorvino made him aware that pig Weinstein molested her and did nothing to stop his criminal behavior. He was also aware Rose McGowan reached a settlement with Weinstein. His body of work shouldn't be faulted for his hypocritical and deplorable behavior as a human being, Quentin Tarantino, the individual is disgusting, when it was in QT's best interest to look the other way, he looked the other way. Tarantino on Weinstein: ‘I Knew Enough to Do More Than I Did WTF, if I were him , I'd have kicked his sorry, disgusting ass for harassing my girlfriend. nytimes.com/2017/10/19/movies/tarantino-weinstein.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

This case has a huge impact all over the world. Now in my country several actresses came out to accuse a famous and well-established theatre director. First it was just one of them sharing her story on FB (admittedly inspired by the Weinstein scandal) without naming the director. Then people told her she should name him because not naming him only leads to people speculating about innocent people. So she did name him. Then six other women came out to say that they too were sexually harrassed, abused by the same director. This mainly included stuff like him putting their hand on his penis (clothed) while watching a piece directed by him. It seemed like he was getting off on that.

hollywood and predators go hand in hand.
and lets be real, the man who was paying Weinstein makes him look like a amatur Pervert and when you see Bill O'Reily paying off a 32 million dollar settlement and still getting a gig, well that tells you all you need to know.
Hollywood is Booty bandit Central.
