Is it just me or is there something a bit...off, about this whole Harvey Weinstein farrago?
I'm not defending what he's done (I was listening to an encounter he had with some model that was taped and it is creepy as fuck), and he's clearly been at it for years, and that's the bit that's bothering me. All these actresses are coming out of the woodwork with their horror stories, but why haven't they exposed this much earlier? I get the argument that some wannabe actress/model trying to make it in Holywood would keep their mouth shut because they want to have a career, but some of these women, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow etc. they already have careers, they have power, some of them run their own production companies, and not a peep until now; in fact quite the opposite with all the "Harvey you're the best" at awards ceremonies and the like.
I dunno, it just feels like these women gave up the moral high ground when they didn't come out earlier to protect other women, now it feels more like sharks and blood in the water.
