  • It is not about sex, it is about domination and control. That's what the British actress Lysette Anthony tells us tonight, as she makes new allegations that she was raped more than once and sexually abused by the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    She is one of around 80 women alleging harassment, sexual assault or rape by Harvey Weinstein. He has always denied having non-consensual sex. He faces a criminal trial in the New Year centred around the allegations of two of the women. We put Ms Anthony's new claims to him today and his representative told us that "allegations are not certainties." They said that Mr Weinstein has the right to due process and the presumption of innocence in his upcoming trial. Our exclusive - and at times harrowing - extended interview with Lysette Anthony includes graphic details concerning her allegations which some people may find distressing.

      @@mbd6054 so, by the logic of your testimony, she should have been perfectly capable of saying no, of recognising romantic overtures, of turning down horse and carriage 'meetings'. What is "beyond obnoxious" about James Hart's comment? Doubting how a highly attractive 16 year old could afford to buy her own flat? Sounds like a very privileged person to me - and I don't buy that modelling and acting equates to having 'earned her own money'; those jobs are simply being *given* money for practically nothing i.e. turn up, dress up, stand here, smile, stand there, sulk - job done. Such 'work' just leaves these people feeling stunned at how easy thousands of pounds fall into their hands. I've met models and talked with them, seen their behaviour and attitudes.
      I notice you insult James Hart on the grounds that some Americans know nothing outside their own back yards and then in the next sentence ask how dare he say such a thing about any women - totally oblivious to your own prejudice.

      Many did go to the police. And they were dismissed. Sadly- I had to go through training at work in what to do during a shooting. The training video explained that you don’t know what to do in a situation if you have never imagined yourself IN that situation. So it makes sense those around him had no clue about what to do. Especially when it was socially normal for women to endure this. We were told for generations that this is just how things are done. It wasn’t until recently that workplace sexual harassment was even a thing. It was completely normalized until finally it wasn’t.

      Actually, no he didn't. He wasn't convicted of pedophilia. He preyed on young *women* who, according to the feminists' narrative, are stunning and brave, intelligent and independent, perfectly capable of looking after themselves, and saying 'no'.
      Then, you say he used these weaknesses (which I agree women have) for his pleasure yet he paid them extremely well for it. This wasn't a one-sided thing. Or are we to refute the feminists' rhetoric? Lysette was a business woman who made her own decisions, went to the man's rooms, went with him to dine, knew what was expected of her e.g. 'Go with this man and have dinner with him', and went. Is she an adult or not?
      Don't get me wrong. My view is that women are NOT capable of looking after themselves as all these cases show. If they were, sexual predation wouldn't happen and #MeToo wouldn't be necessary; but what do the laws say about women's capabilities? They say they can drive, can drink alcohol, can vote, can work in jobs of responsibility. So why can they do all these things yet not fend off unwanted sexual advances. SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP. I know what it is. Do you? Do any of you?

      Almost every woman have an encounter of some form of sexual harassment, it's very difficult to talk about esp if you find yourself in the person's space who would believe you. Men use a woman's vulnerability to overpower you just freeze in that moment your soul leaves your body. You feel trapped so if someone want to judge be in that situation and see how you would react. It's scars of a lifetime.

      After saying she didn't speak out at first because she was afraid her husband would leave her....and she would have been destroyed. Well.......

      It is not Lysettes fault, he planed and predated this in a careful way by using a mixture of pressure on her through her agents and employers. He positioned himself to be able to discredit any charges of sexual assault. Very evil and fairly bold and clever by design. However there are such things as fake rape allegations and a very drunk girl going of with a very drunk boy and regretting it and calling that rape. This is not one of those cases. Let’s not get absolute. The reason Lysette had problems with this is the fake rape allegations of other women.
