Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

[Vee]

HoC crew pushes back on the showrunners' claims of ignorance re: Spacey's preying on young men. (I've heard in the past that his demands were well-known for years during shooting.)

I'm not sure if this was posted, but HW was pulling out every stop to discredit the victims and reporters trying to expose him.

Holy [!@#$%^&*]. I can't believe this is real life. All this with the agents pretending to be advocates so they can manipulate and get information out of his victims. I thought McGowan might have been somewhat deluded in claiming she was offered a deal and so on but after reading this it sounds like his people put her through the wringer. 

[Juliajms]

I get that feeling several times a day and not always in relation to this particular story. I'd never heard of Black Cube before this, but it sounds hard core. I can hardly accept that HW won't be punished, but it would be more surprising if he is.

If this wasn't a family board (okay, a PG-13 board), I would type out all the words I think about this monster (and his ilk). There's a special level of the next life for predators like him. 😠😠😠😠😠

We've seen villains in movies and many of us soap fans have even seen them in soap operas.  

This man is a real-life uber-villain!

It's quite disheartening to read/see how many people (women included) were complicit in facilitating his criminality over decades!

This is just a tad more information on the Scot Boies aspect of the story and more details about Lisa Bloom. The non denial denial from Boies. Oh right and no conflict of interest considering that he represented the Times also. I’m wondering if Lisa Bloom ever recovers from this.  She made her deal with the devil.

This is one of the most disgusting aspects of the cover up.

I hope not.

Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) accused of rape.

Westwick.

[ChitHappens]

This story sounds so damn dumb.  But if EE is a rapist, I hope he pays!  

 

Reading the different account of HW's victims leads me to believe this man is sick.  Anyone who needs to release so much and so violently as he does can't be normal.  Each account made me sick and I cringe for the women who found themselves trying to escape him.  My heart breaks for those who didn't.  All the intimidation HW tried was for the sole purpose of not being found out.  Sick [!@#$%^&*]!

 

Spacey oozes arrogance.  Harassing/assaulting any young man in his path?  Having young men brought to him?  I hope someone cuts off his pecker!

 

Right...

[Juliajms]

Fixed

Dear. God.

 

You'd think Harvey Weinstein was a politician, not a film producer.

 

AFAIC, castration ain't good enough for men like Kevin Spacey.  

[amybrickwallace]

 

True, but it's a start!!

[Juliajms]

I'm ashamed to say the if RM had said Weinstein sent former Israeli special ops after her I would have doubted it.  Is this man really going to get away with all of this without spending a day in prison?
