Harvey Weinstein

Heard Lisa Bloom (Gloria Alred's daughter) - Weinstein's attorney - defending him. He may have behaved badly, but he's sorry so it's all good.

Hilarious.

That's not true at all. That is NOT the response. I have never understood why people just make things up on this board.

I read last night a bit about the things he's accused of. I think he said he's going into therapy. He denies at least some of it.

It's not the total response. He's saying it's a right wing conspiracy designed to bring him down.

@Noel7 I think it is safe to say that most everyone who gets caught is sorry...probably more about the suffering and losses they will have to experience as a result of their very own actions.boohoo

Is that his defense attorney you reference? If so, why wouldn't she be...defending him?

As long as Hollywood has existed as the film capital of the world, the more we have heard about the casting couch. It is an archaic, arcane remnant of a long-gone-by system where Hollywood moguls abused starlets who wanted to become famous. It’s rather shocking to see that this horrendous abuse has been perpetuated by various pigs. Harvey Weinstein is NOT the type to attract women by his looks but rather by his power and influence. It’s disgusting and, if he is guilty, he should be punished, not just with fines.

Bloom certainly acknowledges that he did bad things. But he's sorry now that he "understands" that they were bad. She has explained it to him.

Well his conspiracy theory doesn't even make any sense. Some people in his position will do and say anything rather than take responsibility for their actions.

James Woods was also recently accused of inappropriate behavior in Hollywood, Amber Tamblyn was one who spoke out. He denies it too. DeniaI ain't just a river...

I’m so tired of men making excuses for their bad behavior.Harvey Weinstein is a pig 🐖 plain & simple period!! Props to all the women who finally had the courage to out him!!

I hope he gets what he deserves, but her representation of him has not been a defence. She openly criticized him and shot him down.

Paula Ferris mentioned on the View that Harvey is involved in a miniseries based on Lisa life or book or something like that so possible conflict of interest alert.

Although I do completely understand her point of accepting an apology and then moving on. Most of the incidents it sounded like we handled years ago and settlements accepted by the alleged victims. Why bring it up again now if that person/reporter is not trying to defame someone?

My personal opinion on a subject like this is, if his behavior wasn't tolerated by those around him including some of the accusers who worked with him after their particular incidents, it wouldn't have continued.

Hollywood scum- they are ALL scum. The only way they get fame & fortune is to sell their souls.

His lawyer won't call it what it is, she's calling it "workplace inappropriate behavior"

No, burping in your cube is "workplace inappropriate behavior"

He broke the law, but the rich & powerful are above the law it seems

I got the impression that people are "bringing it up now" because it is still ongoing and they hope to stop him.

As to Bloom saying he's sorry, I'm not sure I'm buying that. But who knows.

To answer your question, why now, it seems HW is not the rich powerful guy he once was, running out of money to keep all this quiet.

That's 1 "theory"
