The allegations against Weinstein were a pack of lies to get compo $$$$$$
Sadly, he is not the only predator in the industry, he’s just one who got caught
That is for sure. And it is not only the men at the top of the industry that do it. It extends all the way down to the college plays level where the actresses don’t even get paid but have to put out to get parts.
@@GodisMyNo1 - this Guteriez model from Italy got one million dollars for Weinstein reaching up her skirt and touching her breasts. My wife said that woman really won the lottery. One million dollars for just Weinstein reaching up her skirt and touching her breast. My wife just wished it could have been her. She said do you know what a difference one million dollars would make in her life of working 2 crap heartless minimum wage jobs 16 hours a day just to be able to buy food and gas and pay rent. My wife said She would let Weinstein do that in a second if she could get one million dollars for it. Then she could quit working 16 hours a day for 2 mean heartless bosses and not have to worry about having money for us to eat. Plus she said she is sure Weinstein is a gentleman compared to the two bastards she works for. She says why couldn’t it have been me with Weinstein instead of a so called model from Italy with a 70 year old sugar daddy. My wife needed the money a lot more than the model who got the one million dollars who probably had plenty of money anyway from modeling. Plus that Italian model is still giving interviews about it and probably get paid plenty of money for those interviews. She probably gets paid more for just one interview than my wife makes in a month.
He’s one of the biggest, so that’s a start!
@@GodisMyNo1 He raped women!! Shut up!! He was found to be a predator and he’s in prison. Get a clue !
@@gabrielamartiniuc6322 Where is the evidence that he r*.ped "many women"? No police reports, no DNA evidence, no medical reports, no r*pe kits, no witnesses, nothing. How can you convict people with no evidence in this day and age as if we are in the SaIem triaIs? Yes, he is in prison unfortunately but only thanks to the tremendous pressure of Me Too that wanted him behind bars at any cost. Weinstein had already lost in the court of public opinion due to the media constant's attacks on him long before he set foot in actual court. What were his chances for a fair trial? Just because people have been convicted, doesnt make it a fact that they are guiIty. Ronnie Long spent 44 years in prison over faIse r*pe accusations, until his conviction was overturned in 2020.
Weinstein used his position to make quid pro quo deals with willing women and there is plenty of evidence if that, same as there is plenty of evidence that these women used him just as much to advance their career, despite their efforts to save face
I was a limo driver in LA for 7 years. I hated going up to Hollywood. It just had a creepy, dark vibe. So many broken dreams. You could kind of feel it.
That's sad but I believe it. You must've had some interesting experiences.
can you tell us about the story that marked you the most?
And everyone knew it. I was warned as a child about what it really meant. Weinstein is a distraction from the real evil. A mere pawn.
Thank u for sharing...
As a (single) physician at UCLA Med Ctr, I liked the party invites, but also felt that vibe.
Courtney Love was asked years before the news broke during an interview if she had any advice for a new actress and her response was: never go to a hotel for a meeting with Harvey Weinstein - everyone knew
that's so sad, tough lady, good on her
Everyone was okay with everything he was doing as long as it was serving their purpose.
Bingo. Don’t rock the boat, things are great for us. It’s not our business.
Even the women he purportedly preyed on until a lawyer told them they could do better
Oprah loved him. BFFs
He played the "anti-Semitism" card so well that his accusers were silenced. Einstein, Woody Allen and the list goes on and on. The only chance they end up in jail is if a Jew victim starts opening her mouth. Then all the other victims will get their justice too. Sadly, the media is heavily under their control. This isn't good for the safety of women in the workplace.
@@kennethlandau5396 Exactly. Not one of these women were actually abused. They all went with him on their free will and participated on their free will. 2:40 /17:08 - what a farce. I feel sorry for every actual victim of sexual abuse, to have to listen to these nonsense stories.
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by FRONTLINE PBS is truly a gift. 👍
agree.
True indeed.
Just four years old this one.
I agree. This is the internet's good side utilized.
nothing is free. yt is watching your every move. they have a plan for u and it's not pretty.
The love affair this nation has with both celebrities and athletes is pathetic and detrimental to our values overall.
Its crumbling day by day, thankfully
The country is... Run by Men. Look at all the Billionaires Multiple Millionaires and Basic Millionaires... Women don't have that kind of... POWER..🤬
And the love affair half the country has with a certain ex-president is even more pathetic. To go *vote* for him is an even bigger statement about our overall values.
@@renejean2523 Amen🙏🏾. That orange is our modern day Nero the incompetent, leadership qualities lacking and sociopathic narcissist who burned down Rome at the end.
Tyrone Valdéz-Krüger As are you. Read a book about Nero before you make such a statement instead of relying on second hand or animated information that’s not at all information or educational!
I loved Seth McFarlands Oscar joke, that really took guts to calls him out in front of the whole world.
He's NOTHING compared to what Ricky Gervais did.
@@TargetRenegade Ricky Gervais appaeared on a Family Guy episode once. He dubbed a character called Billy Finn
@TargetRenegade Paula knows this but Ricky is English and Americans don't like to put any one that is not from the USA at the top of the list
@@TargetRenegade
So TELL US!
Yeah but didn't Gervais do it after everyone knew? Seth did it years before that
What people don't understand is that across the times, these women are right. Nobody would have listened to them back in the day like now. Values change across times.
Idk... Generally trafficking is carried out by women. Occasionally men but even in those cases you still have the female figure somewhere. Where is the female figure
Hey, isn't that what Weinstein said about growing up in the 60s and 70s? As far as Frontline can show me, he was merely acting according to his (tasteless and scummy) values. Only one woman was actually physically assaulted against her will, and even after begging her again to come up to his room, he still does not forcefully pull her into his room and actually rape her, he instead frustratingly tells her goodbye. Every woman interviewed in this documentary reveals the same story of him basically giving it up. Times have changed alright, but facts will always remain facts.
Values? I would say power relations
Hard to listen to someone if they don't say anything.. They felt thier career was more important.
Spot on. You are absolutely right@@scottashe984
My ex was an agent at CAA for 19 years. Everyone knew. I first heard about his abuse in 1996. The agents knew, the assistants knew, the mail room knew, the interns knew. Everyone in Hollywood knew and looked the other way, because-MONEY/FAME/POWER.
Consent, consent, consent. If women had wanted to sleep with a Cruise or Pitt lookalike, that would have been their choice by mutual consent.
Paltrow was dating the actual Brad Pitt at the time Weinstein assaulted her!
Weinstein was tried and convicted - twice - for serious sexual offences. He is in the right place.
Sadly this mindset is prevalent in all areas of society…look at the catholic church!
@@drcokepepper Hollyweird
@@drcokepepper Hell, I would have paid either one of them. Not really. I would like to be loved and wanted for myself. That’s what’s disgusting about guys like Weinstein. They KNOW they are unlovable and undesirable so they corruptly use money and power.
Agreed. I worked at Castle Rock - a very clean establishment - from 1996 - 2001, and everybody knew about Weinstein. Hell, when I waited tables at that time, everybody knew! Fingers crossed things have actually changed
Rape is NOT a mistake. Buying a house over your ability to pay is a mistake. Being deceived by a person you thought was your friend, is a mistake; but, to deliberately and repeatedly rape is NOT a mistake. It's a crime!
Those women willingly traded sex for roles they didn't deserve. There are no real victims here.
Exactly. Locking your keys in the car is a mistake. Rape is evil predatory criminal activity.
It had to have passed from heart to mind thought to action, you're right. It's a heinous thought to act upon. Praying for restitution and restoration in everyone involved. That these things would be reversed and cancelled., in Jesus name. There's a lot of that disperse in this world thats temporarily ran in darkness.
…as well as a sickness
@@rddavis003 Do you REALLY think that men leveraging their power to barter women into sex is a sickness? Because pretty much ALL powerful men do this.
I hope there comes a day where the victims story is more important than money. No matter who you are or how much money you have it should NOT matter. If you commit a crime you should be held responsible for your actions PERIOD.
This will never happen my dear
Specially in America where everyone and everything can be bought and sold
Thats not how life works kid
Hillary duff can now da 're you make antisemitic troups
“Can you give me a massage?” I’d say you can afford a professional masseuse 😂
"Can you get me an acting job? is the real question that started all of this. The rest of it is "I don't want to take acting classes and deal with auditions and rejections and feel entitled and want to take the easy way to capitalize on my loveliness." WTFU
It’s really scary the amount of power this guy had in Hollywood. It’s also pretty sad that the actresses who turned him down just got blacklisted for doing the right thing.
And Renne Zellweger's career took off..
yup he destroyed so many careers.......now his life is destroyed. What goes around comes around.
That's because pulp fiction was so badass , a nonlinear narrative in a mainstream movie ,whew then Miramax had that upright cello bass playing solo in the background of it's promotional trailer, that would sound modern today
I think what I'm trying to say is I'm going to go look up a cello Bass solo I'm done with this
I Should clarify I meant a nonlinear narrative on such a dramatic scale.
My neighbor drove Weinstein several days while he was here for the Napa Film Festival. He was rude, mean, and so nasty to his wife. When the news came out, I was not surprised.
There was a similar incident at the Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Seattle, Venice, Monterey, Sundance Film Festival. There were articles about Mr. Weinstein being rude, nasty to hotel staff, women being harassed at restaurants, bars, Limousine drivers being berated and other stuff too numerous to mention.
Well, his wife was a very beautiful English girl who probably married him for his wealth, she certainly didn’t marry him for his looks. He would have been aware of this and probably resented the fact. Once she got to know the real him, she was probably frightened of him and what he could do. I hope she and her children have made good lives for themselves.
I don't look at celebrities the same way anymore. It's no longer the awed attitude I used to have. Every time I see them walking and smiling on the red carpet, I always wonder how much they have to hide to get there. Hopefully some things are changing for the better.
I know what you mean. They ‘pretend’ for a living. I’m so glad I’ve never been a full on fan for anyone. It’s an awful feeling that many of these show biz people are predators.
I feel like that too. And I find celebrities these days are very aware of it. Always trying to be extra nice and down to earth.
Every woman that decided to not go along with weinsteins demands is an unknown actress
Exactly, thank you!
All the others that chose to go along have mega-mansions in Beverly Hills and are only now coming forward for more riches. *Think about it.*
Absolutely.
These whores were willing to do whatever it takes, and they did, whatever it takes, and then whinged about it.
and most likely thankful they said no, and they have their self esteem and integrity in tack
And a HERO!!!!
@@darnellmajor8895 are you trying to be sarcastic or facetious, or are you truly confused?
Because it all makes perfect sense.
And we still let the people who protected him get up on stages and lecture the rest of America on morales.
well said
The problem is this doesn’t only happens in Hollywood. It happens in politics; Clinton and trump, even JFK with maaany women.
It happens in businesses
It’s a pandemic that was created centuries ago.
@@horaciocapanelli-soto4710 were they raping though or just promiscuous?
If u mean at award ceremonies, moral lectures are rare at those. Its mostly props to the award givers. And their peers in the industry.
Tarantino knew. Hes the type of guy to overlook it as long as he got to make movies. Hes gross
Tarantino getting away with his foot fetish in all his movies for years and of course his famous interview defendung his rapist chum Polanski by stating underage girls are "up for it", still makes me sick to this day.
He's not gross he funded charities for isreal
Tarantino isn’t on his own.
Exactly, who wouldn't defend a girlfriend over money? Q.T. totally disgusting
@@user-fd2rr8jn7m Even worse.
I think this behavior goes back to earliest Hollywood
It's show biz...Everywhere. Whoever has the money, the Power. Now too.
It does! It was the industry standard and still is to some degree.
@@UserCF-hs1dfIt’s changed a lot. I’m just sorry that most of these predators will get away free and clear.
It's happening in your town at stores and businesses that are not glamorous.
Respect to that one guy that is able to call himself out for being complicit and speaking the truth.
Respect? That's like saying you're sorry after getting caught. Everyone hates Weinstein now. He's just playing to whatever the audience is. Don't be so easily led.
I agree. People need to recognize what they trade for complicity so they can make conscious choices.
I respect it to an extent but did he speak before he was outed or did he speak from a genuine place of regret?
Who knew it would be Seth Green?
What “ guy” is that ??? Seriously idk 🤷♀️
His staffers should’ve been dragged into court as well. They knew, they knew, THEY KNEW!
Yup.... agree. They knew and the girls knew but still went to his bedroom lol
I don’t care how much I’m getting paid I could not, as a human being, know that he was doing that to those poor woman and not do anything! People are insane to me!
Rosalin, you have integrity and honour. Many don't, sadly ✌
@@rosalinaverde2318They might have been frightened for their lives. But I think they could have found some way without implicating themselves.
Zelda Perkins has a vast vocabulary. I had to look up several words for their meaning. I had never heard the word “ non-plussed “ . I wish I had read more . It’s so refreshing to listen to someone speak so eloquently.
Exactly
Lord knows how many didn’t come forward. So vile.
I don't think Seth MacFarlane gets enough credit for standing up for his friend and calling out Weinstein in such a public forum. And the fact that he managed to do it in such a blatant and humorous manner is an extra bonus.
he called out kevin spacey too in a very early episode of family guy
damn so that shit was legit we all knew shit. damn.
He was the first to publicly say something
@@rosemeccia9411 didn’t courtney love say something first years and years ago?
agreed. He was really PC and vague but we knew what he was talking about.
He always looked dirty.
As hell! 💯💯💯
Surprisingly he LOOKED...pretty clean in his YOUNGER pictures..BUT I never saw him then only since the 80s where he LOOKED VERY DIRTY...The type of individual you might see in a sleezy B movie from the 70s
Fat and sloven are the words that come to mind. All those poor ladies subjected to seeing his disgusting, revolting, naked carcass. Must have been like seeing Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers films. 🤢🤮
I think this is classic rear view mirror thinking.
@@Moonewitch Nothing wrong with how he looks. Harvey looks like a typical middle aged american man
An industry that coined the term "casting couch" and felt comfortable enough to laugh while referring to this has a lot to answer for.
Dude got off on the power. The ability to make ppl do uncomfortable things.
Yep, power and control. He already had the fame and fortune.
He's a narcissist. He will never admit any wrongdoing, it's always someone else to blame.
He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A SEXUAL PREDATOR!

This is waaaaay beyond that because there is group of pedophiles and rapist in the Hollywood industry that is dismissed as a conspiracy I m not even going to waste any of my time watching this pathetic dirt bahg....
@bang-bang It's not a "mistake." Not speaking out is a survival instinct women employ so that their careers and lives are not ruined by wealthy, powerful, sexually predatory men that target young women.
That you choose to focus on the young women that are forced into situations where a fat and limbering POS over powers them for his twisted sexual pervasions is telling.
What these men do is criminal. Period! Full stop! That is what needs to be addressed; not the women for how they negotiate a landmine of predacious men.
@bang-bang What difference are you making in reference to actresses and non actresses, and why?
@bang-bang correct .
The movie industry is the most destructive force I have ever encountered in my life. From all angles.
Have you heard about pdiddy? 😳
Calling anyone a naughty boy in that accent isn’t fair🫣😅 but in all seriousness this guy is a monster and they should never let him out!
Interesting it took an Italian model to go to the police.
Bravo to her!
Ok, So I wasn’t the only one with that thought… bravo to her indeed.
If Harvey gave her something valuable first before advancing on her, i bet she wouldn't go to the police. She probably flirted with him to make him confident enough to touch her boobs. She's a gold digger for sure. After all, she even have sugar daddy.
Other people went to police and were ignored
@@thenewyorkcitizen I believe some said they were going to but didn't because they didnt think anyone would believe them - no one but the model came forward and forced the issue.

Awesome interviews with all the characters in this story. Some amazing people in there.
Thank you 🙏
Kinda funny, the ones that all moved on to have glowing careers must have gave the "massages"and the ones with character, well we don't really know their names do we? Sad..
These poor women who stood up to him were ruined. It makes me wonder how legitimate the world of acting and Hollywood really is at the end of the day. What a shame
You're just now wondering? I suggest you do one second of investigating and to be sitting down and doing it on an empty stomach too. What you find out about Hollywood and its extremely seedy side will shock you. And frankly, at this point, the seedy side is the only one it has.
How do you know they were r.uined? Sean for example was dubbed difficult to work with before she ever worked with Harvey, and not many producers wanted to hire her. How is it Harvey's fault that she was not a favourite one anymore? There is a reason why they are called stars
@@GodisMyNo1 You know, you bring up a very good point. There are MANY male actors who were "dubbed difficult to work with" (i.e. Dustin Hoffman, Christian Bale, Daniel Day Lewis, etc.) and have and continue to have thriving careers. But a woman being difficult and still thriving in acting? Not so much...lol. And I'm far from a feminist. I think Sean had a hand in her destruction, but Harvey helped. They're not mutually exclusive.
oliwood is a criminal place...
Still a better love story than Twilight
It’s absolutely disgusting how many people looked the other way, and how many people threw his victims right into his cage all the while knowing what he was capable of...
Nothing new unfortunately... in so many every day professions .
@@bob-pr8ye 9.
This happens everywhere, all the time. Not just HW.
Not really... They wanted the roles, and doing that kinda "work" is WELL WORTH IT for that kind of money!
I would too. His movies were excellent. Now we exchanged them for couple of cheap sluts and their "justice".
You can't justify what he did but really women did you not get anything out of it?
You got contracts and film roles which you would have never got in your life, so you did get something out of it.
If you are so morally righteous why did you not report him immediately instead of waiting 20 years?
You are just as sick as Harvey is by going along with it and then blaming him with your fake tears.
I'm here after the Katt Williams interview for the Expos of this man..so sad
Probably the best illustration I've ever seen that sexual assault isn't about sex. It's about power, humiliating and degrading someone. Literally, the emperor has no clothes, and if you stand up to him, he bawls his eyes out.
Pretty sure it's about sex too
Not the only one
As long as it isn't saying anyone who makes a sexual remark at some point of there life to someone else , that they are " in a way ;guilty of rape.".. them false vicious liars are in my view just as bad as rapists themselves
@@johnsabin3315They don't do it for sexual gratification, they do it to have power over someone, sex is just the weapon.

All those A list stars that thanked him at awards ceremonies. Like they didn’t know anything 😒
Meryl Streep called him, "God".

Suspension of willing disbelief. It's pervasive in movie culture.
That’s the most frightening part.
It’s the cost of doing business…..
Sadly it’s applicable to so many that know but somehow don’t acknowledge criminal behaviour…see the millions of catholics revering the pope/vatican!!
Never ever go alone with anyone in a lonely place. You can even go with so called teenage friend alone.
So you ask for a ride home and they take you to their house instead. And you go in there house. Yet you want us to believe you didn’t know why? Somehow I’m starting to believe these women who are coming out tried to make it in that way but did it and didn’t get the part. Now they were taken advantage of? Because seriously, a man walks in with an open robe and ask to be touched. After refusing why not leave? Why wait for him to leave and return naked? I’m sure she had a phone, and working legs. Why did she stay? Make it make sense
You are asking the right questions that they don't want to hear. Sure he was a lecher (the webcam video almost made me gag), but they all knew the deal. It's no coincidence most of the accusers are past their prime.
And I think the "massages" are really an euphemism for sex. No man loves getting a massage so much. They just want to save face.
There was one accuser who had long since left the show business. She was a model back then, but now works as a real estate agent or something. She obviously doesn't have a PR agent and hasn't been coached on what to say. And instead of saying "he made me massage him" or "he went down on me against my will" like the other accusers did, she just said "I performed oral sex on him in his office", which is probably closer to the truth of what was going on in those hotel rooms.
It’s appalling when he denies allegations he “swears on his wife and children’s lives”. It just shows you how self centered he is and that his family means absolutely nothing to him
Exactly 📿🥀🙏
Narcissists are unable to feel guilt. They feel they have the right to do whatever they want. It's sociopathy actually.

He raped so many women ,I thought he didn’t got a family.
So THAT's what happened to Sean Young (the actress from Blade Runner). She was such an integral part of what made Blade Runner such a memorable and impactful film, so I was always puzzled that we never saw much of her after that. Her star was meant to take off! Damn you Harvey Weinstein for ruining her career, you selfish monster!
He ruined more than her career
I wondered what happened to her as well. I remember her in No Way Out with Kevin Costner. 🤦🏾♀️ Disgusting!

It used to be 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'. Now it Sexlives of the Rich and Ugly.
The casting couch has been around since forever. A lot of women and even men have been to hell and back. Hollywood never was a clean place to be nor will it ever be i think. Sad beyond sad
This also reveals to us a society so obsessed with success, wealth and cult of celebrities.
Totally.
Awesome! Kokomo ty
Yup, but they haven't really explored this aspect and pushed it front and center next to the predators. It's just as bad or worse since some are so powerful and famous today, WOMEN, that played dumb, deaf, and blind about it then and now.

Recap by Tammy AI with useful timestamp
00:01: 👀 The Frontline special 'Weinstein' explores how Harvey Weinstein used his power to silence his accusers and what Hollywood knew about his behavior.😔 Harvey Weinstein's power and reputation as a Hollywood producer allowed him to sexually harass and assault women with impunity, while colleagues turned a blind eye
19:40: 💔 Weinstein's alleged behavior continued due to Hollywood's complicity and the use of N.D.A.s to silence women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
38:16: 👀 Weinstein hires private intelligence firm to investigate accuser, but the case is dropped due to insufficient evidence
47:41: 🚨 Harvey Weinstein's decades-long history of sexual harassment and assault is finally exposed, leading to multiple investigations and legal action against him and his company.
Why is Oprah Winfrey never mentioned in these documentaries? She was a good friend of Harvey Weinstein. I remember a story of Oprah with a young woman who wanted to be an actress, it even showed a short tape of this. Then Harvey walks out to surprise the young woman who was of course caught off guard and very excited because he was going to give her a shot at stardom. Oprah was all smiles and she had to have heard the stories going around about his behavior being a powerful person herself but remained his friend until at least the allegations were proven to be true. I don’t know about now but has certainly distanced herself from him never mentioning his name. I just wonder whatever happened to that poor young woman Oprah set her up with meeting this POS. A picture was also shown of Oprah kissing him on the cheek one time! Makes you wonder 😮
Because Oprah is part of the Illuminati set-up. She is a witch (Using words to cast spells) How do you make a word? You spell it. The better you are with words the greater power you have to manipulate people. We are word driven creatures. You have to understand that everyone on TV is part of the Masonic setup. They are employed to keep you in a trance so you dont see what is really happening in the world around you or they are used to manipuate your thoughts so that you will act in a certain way. This is why its called "TV programming".
Oprah has a lot in common with Weinstein. A lot.
Don’t be fooled about Oprah
Oprah is a pimp.
I notice there are many people who aren’t giving you a thumbs up from this post. Do you think it’s because they don’t want to admit their idols are greedy, and will always overlook horrible things to be associated with big money people.
He should rot in jail! But the reason Sean Young's career tanked was allllllll her own making! Widely known! Couldn't watch after that!!! Also, Meryl Streep has a lot to answer for!
A lot of liars in this doc. People knew. They knew 100%
I think, sadly, that this is just the tip of ice berg of the what’s going on behind Hollywood doors 😔
True.

I don't like admitting that he was right...but, he was. Also, everybody knew what this monster was. Everyone. They knew about 'Cosby' too. NBC knew and covered it up because he had the #1 show on TV. I know for a fact that girls were warned against him because 'we tell the nice girls to stay away from Mr Cosby'. Eventually the truth is revealed. Better late than never. It's very sad what this filth gets away with because of money...the whole system covers for them. Pretty easy to figure out why, they're ALL compromised.

What happens in the dark always finds it’s way to the light!
@@tbow7785 He harmed many people and ruined many careers. It's sad. They've ruined their whole industry with this insane behavior. Audience leaving in droves...for every 'top gun' blockbuster (so few and far between) we have curated crap and psy ops. Americans love the movies. They need to make good movies again...
; - )
So did you try and still pursue acting or stop after he said that? Curious if you encountered some of these scumbags on your way through the system
@@cynthiarouse I heard its like a sex industry. THAT Producers, directors , Famouse people, convince beautiful young women ,to have sex with them , abd then Mybe they will get a part in a show or movie.They keep having sex with them and some turn into hookers .
And it was always like that , in the 50s, 60s as well.
Sociopaths tend to rise to the top in any organization. Also, little known is that sociopaths prefer to promote other sociopaths, giving them amoral loyalists as their lieutenants and guards. Once empowered, surrounded by loyal sociopath underlings, with organizational and personal resources--they become difficult to assail, nearly unaccountable. Women such as those abused by Harvey simply need to swallow their laughable feminist pride, admit they can't lead or organize effective resistance, and find a man who can lead and organize against such abusers. Feminism and its illusions have made women easier prey than ever to the Harvey-monsters of the world.
Can we be honest about this? How many of these women could have said no and walked out the door? C'mon now?
So the first woman Katherine in this documentary chooses to get a ride home with Harvey and decides to go into his apartment with him. These stories are ridiculous.
These people are not naive children but grown adults. They have buyers remorse.
Sean Young ruined her own career. She was mentally unhinged. It was because of her behavior in the early 90s. Sean wanted to play Cat Woman in Tim Burton's Batman Returns but Burton didn't want her. So Sean starts dressing up as Cat Woman in public an in interviews she did professing she is the real Cat Woman. Her career went down hill after that.
A lot of them had consensual sex with him to break into the business. I am sure they didn't want to but they certainly chose to.
Sounds like a lot of these women want sympathy for being “young and naive” 😂
What about when Courtney love said “If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don’t go"
I always think about what else Courtney knows, all her Hollywood and personal secrets?..
THIS!!! Didn't she say that in the early 90s already? Decades later everybody acting ao surprised... Gftoh
I remember knowing the “casting couch” existed even back in the 80s. I don’t think it was just Harvey but I’m guessing the rest already died.
@@BassForever44 some of which weren’t alive “decades” ago 😆
@@diane9812 casting couch been a thing as long as Hollywood been a thing. And Harvey definitely wasn't the only one.
If there weren't so many sex offenders hiding in the industry, in the government, in the churches, and hiding behind police badges, these monsters might be given maximum sentences the first time and every time.
and the sentences would be longer. remember it waz only a few decades ago that children and women were classed as property. get married and the man could sexually assault you and it was not even against the law. ironically ans sadly, actual literal property is more respected legally than extreme violence.
That’s actually absolutely false. This was propaganda started years ago
Right on!! As we used to say.
@@zacharyo5033 Wow you‘re very naive... 😂😂😂
_LOS before that our attitudes and laws about sexuality, who can have it, when and with whom need to be greatly amended. It is never right to engage in sexual activity when there is such a power imblance and esp with someone you work with. But, him worrying about his family??? A little late for that>|. We all make mistakes, second chances? Are you f******kidding me? This isn't a guy who messed up one night. He did it as the cost of doing business, as a matter of course for decades and everyone shut up bc they wanted the money and the career and fame. Sicko values. When are these Hollywood people going to realize they are not entitled and nothing special, but as long as we keep worshipping them we too are enablers of such a pervasive behavior that is not limited by Weinstein. But glad he finally got caught. Bit ugly blowbag who thought no little women could touch him. I'm really disappointed with Meryl Streep. She kept silent too. BS she didn't know. She's already on record saying she knew. I wouldn't doubt it if she too was an early victim.
What happened to Rose McGowan? Wasn’t she the one who spoke out first about Harvey? I’m very surprised they didn’t include her in this piece.
I thought an NDA wasn't legal if it's meant to cover a crime?
That sounds about right. I’m gonna look into it.
Good on Paul Webster for being honest about his complicity-- it's difficult to be honest with yourself and others when awful things like this happen. Glad he saved his assistant from being assaulted at least.
Crazy that tons of A list female and male celebrities, actors knew what was happening
I agree. Everyone making themselves out to be victims / saints
It's a seedy business and I'm sure his behavior was common knowledge.

@@madenee2612
Have you seen what happens in a dark parking lot during a intimate encounter with a ball bat and a pissed off friend of a abused women?
Weinstein should have had a proper education in the finer points of appropriately entertaining the ladies.
Is he able to be prosecuted because he knew and didn't bother to inform law enforcement?
F.Y.I I don't believe he should face any charges, im just wondering.
Meryl Streep calling him “God” truly was very disgusting. I don’t see Meryl defending him now. Oprah too!
They Knew how he was. They just had to save themselves.
I'm sure they had to humiliate themselves at one point to become elite.
@@whitenoiseihearu4018 of course… money talk’s Bs walks.

Irene, Ms Streep’s ‘God’ reference was intended to be sardonic, in the hope that we would all ‘read between the lines’, or in this case, the letters! The man was a narcissistic prxck, and an ugly, gluttonous one at that. You should take comfort from the notion that if he could make it to the dizzy heights in Hollywood, then so can you!
He is a genius and he did a lot of good stuff. Só it makes sense.
My prayers are with victims and survivors of Human Trafficking.Amen.
It's a massive issue in every societies , and cultures in the world...

Above the law , karma will come in this life or the next .....it always finds a way
True. Think about how some of these celebrity marriages originated. If they want to date someone, they call that someone's agent and set up a "casting" for no job in particular.
"Disney was unaware...." Yeah, right. They both have the same legacy, only Disney chose little kids.
My thoughts exactly
Disney was much more perverted and evil. But i'm pretty sure Weinstein had some childs too, it's sort of a rite of passage in the sick and twisted entertainment industry.
It’s very know that this happened for decades. If a woman didn’t have sex she wouldn’t be considered again. The whole industry not just Weinstein. He’s only 1 that was caught.
Explain.
I love how triggered you anti American Fox worshiping snowflakes are nowadays, lol
Anyone here after watching quiet on set?
still havent heard what happened to him after he had a heart attack on the way to prison.
I am glad that this bully and pervert was brought to justice. Let’s not ignore the fact that powerful people are enabled in every walk of life and therefore, getaway with various forms of power-based abuse.
Sometimes i think of it as a hidden worldwide war... between predatory anti socials and real humans, playing out on all stages, levels of society from household to the higher ups and often ending up in straight out war between countries where one is the aggressor, the other the victim.
Abused ? Do you honestly think they weren't willing participants? If he'd offer me a role in a movie for millions I would suck him off and I a straight male. These ladies are just dirty their careers went nowhere
@@alainvosselman9960 Yes, this kind of conduct is ubiquitous
He may have been a bully, but there is no evidence that he is a r*pist. None if his accusers had any evidence against him other than accusations. No police reports, no DNA evidence, no medical reports, no r*pe kits, no S T D tests, no witnesses, nothing. Guilt by accusation shouldnt be the basis for a conviction. Funny how everyone forgets that the vast majority of his accusers are the same ones who sIobbered all over Weinstein for so many years in countless pictures and videos of them attending Weinstein parties. They loved him when he was making them rich and famous, but g.anged up on him as soon as he was targeted by Me Too.
Weinstein never had any accuser before Me Too existed, but men like Clinton and Trump who are more powerful than Harvey have had public accusers since the 90s.
How come women werent afraid to accuse very powerful men like Trump and Clinton, but they were supposedly afraid of a film producer like Harvey? Please.
They all used him and used him and used him to advance their career, and then made him the fall guy for Hollywood's collective faults
@@GodisMyNo1 Well there can be an explanation to that. Trump and Clinton might have been players, doing stuff rather playfully well knowing they are doing wrong but it wouldn't install the kind of utter fear one would experience being raped by a bully. The threat must surely come across very intense and it might block someone from taking any steps. It happens so much. My older sister suffered severe dv and never told anyone, she got murdered in the end.
That being said, i was abused by women and understand quite well that there's indeed also a big chance things are as you say. Anti socials are opportunists and if that is what they are they will definitely grab that opportunity for their own gain. It can get them attention and money. So i respect your view.
I was a sex offender Parole & Probation Officer. Harvey is a classic example of “sexual offending is a crime of power”. Instead of a holding a gun he held his power. Under the layers is a sad angry little boy wanting….”
There were much worse crimes than what he did in Hollywood.
I have had dangerous adults, nasty lose women and nasty corrupt police officers and security guards threaten my innocent life for 13 years now. I absolutely refuse to give such low lives the excuse of them just being a little girl or little boy underneath.
To give such excuses to really dangerous criminals is mind blowing, and allows the public to think that these monsters are just like little kids who never grew up.
Stop giving murderous criminals a label of them just being like little kids. Nothing, absolutely nothing could be further from the truth.
I truly believe that this is what happens when people get too much money and too much power. They have enough money to buy anything and they start to get bored, so they start looking towards untouchable people and situations in order to fulfill cravings of having everything at any cost. Which I imagine, turns into an obsessive pursuit of anything they deem they can’t have or can’t do. Which includes sexual misconduct, and I am wondering how many times that that obsession turns into… I wonder what it would be like to kill somebody? With a never ending appetite to experience everything and anything that a human being can, both good and bad, simply for the fact of feeling it, doing it and seeing it. Feeling as if their money and power puts them above any suspicion.
It’s crazy and you can see that most of these people that have that money and power obviously have a horrible case of obsessive compulsive disorder, along with narcissistic personalities that got them where they are. Which I imagine, only grow worse with the more money and more power they possess. The good thing is, one by one they are being caught. Epstein and Weinstein, have been called out by their peers which created a domino effect, not only in the entertainment industry, but all industries. Giving women and men who have experienced these situations the bravado to step out and talk about their own stories. Which is an awesome thing.
@@MakeLifeExtraordinary Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do think excessive money can be adversely tempting. And, compulsive acquisition of money can show sociopathic behavior. But, there are other situations. Warren Buffet acquired an extreme amount of money. For him it was a game. He is a high functioning autistic person. When his wife Susie talked about sharing his wealth, he gave it away. After her divorce, McKenzie Bezos gave away much of her wealth. Epstein was evil long before he became rich. I’m not sure it’s all that simple.
@@victoriabernuth9728 I appreciate that. Yeah, I’m sure there’s different circumstances that can cause different people to act this way. I do notice though, that money, and power can drive people to do stupid things just for the sake of being able to do stupid things. What they don’t understand is that they would feel so much better and happier if they took some of that money, like the people you talked about above… And helped others out. I love giving a homeless person $20. Why? Because I love to see smiles on peoples faces. the thing is, I don’t care what they spend it on. If they go and buy drugs, and they are happy for those few minutes, they are high… That’s their prerogative and if that’s what makes them happy, then, so be it. It’s not my position to tell them how to spend that money. I would much rather they buy food, or use it to better their situation… But, as long as they’re happy, I don’t care. Nothing tickles me more than to get a reaction that I wasn’t expecting from one of these people. Whether that be a big hug, big smile, or they go out of their way to thank me. I even had one guy go and get himself something to eat at the local convenience store and took some of the money that I gave him to get me a thank you card. which made me smile, but also made me cry that he went out of his way to do so.
The feeling that anybody can get from helping anybody do anything is much more incredible than any amount of money. Almost like winning a happiness lottery. Sometimes letting me know that there are still good. People left in this world amongst this fast, rat race, social media driven society we live. It’s easy to get discouraged, because sometimes you try to help and it backfires. Some people seemingly born to be hateful and negative. But every once in a while, you come across that shining star that makes the hard times you go through worth it.
I wish you the very best and as I say to anybody who will listen: live life every day like it’s your last, love like it’s your first.
Frontline always does the best documentaries. Now I feel better informed about this case.

And a LOT of his accusers willingly slept with him for fame and money, and now they play the v.ictim just to save face. It takes two to tango
A lot of his accusers sIept with him for fame and money and later they played the v.ictim just to save face. But people like you wont admit them. You prefer to be spoonfed by media instead
And a lot of his a.ccusers s.Iept with him for fame and money, and cry v.i.c.t.i.m to save their face. And people like you believe everything they say
How is that different to normal women? The conviction rape for rape in the US is something like 5%. That's what they bother to take to court, and they don't bother to take to court most cases that are reported to the police and most people don't report in the first place because nobody takes it seriously in our culture. Minor property crime is more serious and you get scum like Bela here running defence with the "womz be whores" and "muh poor men with all the false accusations!" and "what was she wearing" and "why was she out at night?".
You don't seem to understand what women's position is. You speak up you get ruined. It's not just in Hollywood. A job isn't optional. You need to work to survive to keep a roof over your head. We're second every. single. time. Our complaints? Lol deal with it. You just deal with dick picks, and porn at work and being groped (all of which I've experienced at work and the response? Mgmt put out a weak "hey maybe don't watch porn at work in front of the women" and they continued to do it and in some cases it got worse out of spite because how dare women speak up. HOW. DARE. those bitches ask me - ME - to make any sacrifice or changes. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII should be allowed to watch porn at work in front of anyone I like!

A whole bunch of people let this happen, thats how it went on for years, because money is more important than anything
It is sad when someone comes forward and people say " why did you wait 10 years". Lots of people TRY to bring allegations forward ( especially children) and are NOT BELIEVED by the "adults"
That's sad about children ,very sad ,but these are not children that Weinstein was hittin & missin , and I'm sure he did more hittin then missin or he would not have keep doing that foolish behavior. 🤔

I honestly thought that NDA's were only used to protect intellectual property of a company. But the fact they are legal to protect crimes is absolutely insane.
It doesn't protect crimes
@@yespls4184 clearly they did
Most applicable comment.
They cannot actually be used to protect crimes - if an NDA says you can't disclose the details of a crime it is un-enforceable. However, they are very powerful tools for intimidation. You might believe it is legally enforceable or you might know it isn't but be very aware that none of that matters when you are going up against someone with the financial ability to out-lawyer you. Unfortunately, the law protects people with money much more than it protects victims.

Deviancy is a mental illness, when you don't admit the truth. Murder is a crime too harvey

Seeing Weinstein and R. Kelly get at least a modicum of justice served to them is deeply cathartic.

Paul Webster's interview is very raw and very real. He really nails himself to the cross with how he viewed Weinstein and what he did to enable him by simply not doing anything.
I don't think Paul Webster " nails himself to the cross." He simply tells the truth whereas many others did not.
I found his interview very raw and accountable. More than anyone else that was culpable.

So glad woman stood up against Harvey, go woman go ! Yeah !
One person who begins to tell the truth can bring down a tyrant.

Respect to Seth for saying what he did at the Oscar’s. Too bad others didn’t have his courage and speak out as well before it became trendy. I’m glad it has finally become a majority collective thought form that abuse of power will not be tolerated - not in any form.
Sad that it’s taken so long
Dream on. It is just a phase. Some people in power positions will abuse their power one way or another. Specially people sitting too long on power positions are tend to lose their ability to see what is morally right and wrong. Especially successful people. I am quiet certain this will go on in a while. Only now it gets a bit lower until the publicity has become old news.
Then "wrecking ball" Ricky Gervais gave everyone a reminder that the problem isn't just one man.
Yes, good on Seth. However, remember that Seth employs himself and creates his own content. He is the boss in his work environment, and doesn't rely on HW or anyone else to be rich and famous. So, he has nothing to lose.

To all the victims/Survivors of Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse: Thank you for having the courage to speak up and against sexual assault. It is upsetting that some of the comments are of criticizing you for getting money from Weinstein but that is a part of justice to be compensated for the psychological harm done to you. It will never undo the harm but you have the right to be compensated for all the high costs of therapy that you have needed and will need to try to put the pieces of your life back together. I am so sorry for all those uncompassionate comments and uncalled for accusations you are enduring at the cruelty of others. I am so sorry that we live in a culture and society that is not showing you and other women and victims the respect you all deserve by not even acknowledging the important things you have to say. I respect your voice and for you using it to speak up against evil. I am also sorry that others are indifferent and disrespectful to not acknowledge the power of your words, voice and opinions.
God Bless you and all survivors of sexual assault and other demeaning mistreatment. You all did not deserve that. NO ONE deserves to mistreated like that. May God/Jesus heal you and all others who has ever been sexually abused. May God/Jesus give all victims/survivors perfect justice and perfect healing of perfect wholeness, of His Perfect Shaloam Peace and may God/Jesus grant you all His Perfect Joy and Restoration to Be and Feel Safe and Secure and Free and to feel and be Cherished, Protected, Honored, Respected, Beloved in a Healthy and Safe Way, etc.

Harvey probably would have got away with it if he wasn't so overbearing and insistent. Think about it, why is Harvey the only big name producer that's been taken down? There HAS to be others, Harvey was probably the only one that was egregious with his propositions.
There are others above Harvey and below, and nobody wants to end up taking their own life. You know suicided
There are others for sure. Think of all the women he’s downed! It’s an awful business. He’s been sacrificed, and the other sickos have went into deep under cover. It’s still going on for sure.
Absolutely. Show business is especially filthy in this aspect. Also in money laundering
Of course there are others 🙄, no way he was the only one!!
Yeah, but not like Harvey

At time stamp in this video, 33:29 - my ex landlord did and said the same thing when i came to pay my rent. When i stepped in to his office, he locked his office door with us both inside the office. He then blocked me from the door while he said the exact same thing that weinstein did to this poor woman. He said it all, while unzippering his pants and grabbing my hand. I pulled away and said everything i could to get out of that office unscathed. It was not easy. I firmly said what i had to (repeatedly) and i was not violent but i was not nice. He made me feel stupid and helpless. He actually threatened me for MY behavior! He was a very rich and powerful man that was introduced to me by my own lawyer. I lived on my own with my two children. I was in constant fear of his approach. This was in the late 80s. No one gave a crap and my own father didn't believe me when i told him what happened and that i wanted to move to get out of a dangerous living situation. "But 'so and so' wouldn't do that!" And "What did you do to encourage him?" Was what i got! Another landlord also did the same thing to me in the 70s -he was in his 60s and i was barely 18! That guy showed up in my bedroom one day - i didnt even know who he was! My roommate just treated the incident like it was somethingvwe just had to put up with in the slum we paid rent for. I never said a word again after each incident because of the way i got treated by anyone i told (except my ex roommate who got the sane treatment from the man as i did). Women OR men always treated me like i should either be flattered, or like i did something to encourage this predatory behavior or that i should just 'get over it.
Finally I just moved on and and tried to "get over it". I actually never got over it. I lived in fear of landlords showing up unannounced and cornering me. It took me a long time to feel a modicum of safety. I felt helpless, frightened and on edge all the time.
Both landlords are now dead of old age. They got to live their wealthy lives without consequences. I never had a chance of telling my story in a court of law and being taken seriously. I never got the chance to stop them from repeating the predatory behavior with some other young innocent women. I still dont feel safe. Everyone knew what creeps these men were, yet nobody stopped them, andci was powerless to do the same.
What about ALL of the trafficked women and girls??!
