Two Harvey Weinstein Accusers Speak Out Exclusively On Megyn Kelly TODAY | Megyn Kelly TODAY
The actresses in the 30's and 40's dealt with the same thing. Studio heads back then did the same thing. If those Hollywood glamourous actresses were alive today they would tell the same story. Either you became a star or starved. The dirty secret was kept for years.
Why, Why, Why, Why , Why Why, Did these women meet this Creep ALONE in his apartment, hotel WITHOUT their Manager, Assistant, Boyfriend, Gal Pal ,trusted Guy Pal sibling, parent, lawyer accompanying them?????! At a very young age I was taught NEVER, NEVER, NEVER meet a man alone for a” “ meeting” “Music lesson” “ “tutoring” unless a trusted friend, parent , or another female Professional was in the same room and the door was WIDE OPEN at all times. OMG. Especially if you discussing film roles with a major studio executive this is professional meeting. I would have arranged to brought my lawyer and my assistant with me. Out think the predator!
Ok, I actually have a serious answer for you, unlike the other 2 jerks who commented, because I also used to think this until someone pointed something out that I hadn't realized. Harvey Weinstein was not staying in a hotel room like you or I would. He was staying in penthouse suits, with sitting areas and a separate office. So the bedroom would be off down a hallway, rather than walking right into it like a standard hotel room. You would walk into a living area with separate rooms. When I heard that, it changed my feelings about that and how it's understandable that women would rationalize that it would be ok. You however are right that you should never ever go meet someone alone like that. Hope that helps 😊
I AGREE ITS BECAUSE THEY WANTED A BREAK I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WERENT A WILLING PARTICIPATE I MEAN ITS NOT LIKE THEY WERE SIXTEEN THEY KNEW BETTER AND THEY HEARD THE RUMOUR SO HOW BELIEVABLE ARE THEY
Zenkiea xHe did have a “reputation” that was known, didn’t he?
LOL are you so Naive that you really don't know WHY beautiful YOUNG WOMEN meet a very RICH FAT OLD MAN man in HIS HOTEL ROOM ? Don't play stupid.
VictimBlaming101: one of the worst free pass and sloon of glucose that could be given to the perp of a crime. You are saying this as a woman. SHAME ON YOU
Don't meet a strange man in a Hotel or apartment ALONE. Even if you think he can promise you whatever you want
Good advice.
I don’t know why anyone would do that in the first place. I thought it was common sense.
@@GabyPivet I don't understand either, for myself at least. The only thing I can think of is that he was a well known and highly respected figure in the industry. They didn't know nor did public know of the sick and twisted things he was doing. It probably wasn't even conceivable since he was a very public and seemingly loved person. There must've been some feeling of trust safety in that.
Yep they were dopey.
instablaster
Wow. I've been around that before. For a man like that,they will use anything to get their way. PERV
I understand these morning shows are rushed but it’s disgusting how Megyn just wanted them to say the act and describe it only. Asking that woman to describe HOW it all happened was uncomfortable and disgusting. Obviously he finished and she left. I hope these women find support through this.
Yeah got the same feeling
So Mimi Haleyi actually came out late with her accusations 🤔 I was expecting she'd be one of the first.
Thank you Mimi. What you are doing matters so much and is empowering and courageous.
RV Joey I wouldn't say that lol
RV Joey Why did she keep smiling during her account of the story? It's bizarre how people tell a serious story with a smile on their face and she kept laughing awkwardly!
Nerves.. that is so obvious.. I have a 16 page police report explaining my story from 10 years ago. I smile every time I share some of it out of nerves. Its so awkward to talk about such things. sorry you don't get it or are just being a troll.
RV Joey So if I ask a question, that makes me a troll? You need to check yourself instead of me if you jump to people's throat if they make a legitimate remark!
Mocking a woman who is nervously sharing a taboo topic is not a legitimate or reasonable response. Period. Get current.
if you know about the crime and you keep quiet for any reason, you are part of it.
I agree cuz if they know about a crime & dont say nothing about then they complicit 2 the whole thing in other words they just as bad as the other person that did the crime
He was "charming" AFTER she turned him down. Massive red flag
How is that a massive red flag? Do you think it's normal for a rejected man to treat like dirt those who rejected him or to take it respectfully and get on with their lives?
@@KeldorDAntrell that's exactly my point. Some are immature and will treat you like dirt but most are respectful. If you are a truly a charming person you will be that before AND after rejection, not just after. It indicates sociopathic tendencies and sounds like 'hoovering' them back solely to take revenge for the rejection. Its backwards. No woman ever said 'my ex treats me like a princess'
brave, courageous women!! thank you for coming forward .
No. You've got it wrong. The feminist mantra is 'stunning and brave'. 'Courageous and brave' is the same as saying 'brave and brave'.
I'm so glad that women are coming forward who may have been victimized. I'm so glad women are speaking up. Sexual abuse is so horribly pervasive and sick. And it's making us sick. No one deserves this, and we need to protect ourselves and our children. We need these outlets to come forward and other people supporting people who may have been victimized. We need to support one another and stop this cycle of abuse and degradation to our bodies, hearts, and minds. Thank you Megan for your amazing strength in your own coming forward and standing up. And for sharing this outlet for others****** We will never know the incredible impact of our actions, but I'm sure the impact you're making is helping so so so many**
This happens everywhere-not just Hollywood.
Thunderbolt - First, I'm sorry for your loss.
I disagree with you that actresses and actors (whom I'm going to refer to as simply "actors") cannot do anything that helps people by being in the acting industry. It is often through watching a movie or TV show that certain things are conveyed or taught to the rest of us for the first time, or in a way that we can more readily take in and understand vs. only reading a textbook or listening to a lecture. Obviously the value of the information depends on what that production is about (i.e., a soap opera isn't going to teach the same thing as a movie about a real person, nor will the reliability of the information be the same between the two). For instance, I have a good friend who realized she was in a potentially abusive relationships when she watched a Lifetime movie (of all things!); her boyfriend had already made her stop seeing or talking to most of her family and friends, wanted her to let him manage her finances, and was very jealous and suspicious if she wasn't home exactly when he expected l etc.; although some of her friends and family had tried to warn her of some of the same signs, it wasn't until she saw the overdramatic and not necessarily well acted portrayal on Lifetime that she understood our concerns and how these things looked to us ... which helped her recognize that our concerns might have merit. The show also provided information on who she could contact if she needed help or more information, so she was prepared when she decided she needed their help.
Being successful at acting also enables individual actors to give large amounts to charitable causes, so many actors find ways to help the rest of society in very important ways, and in ways which they themselves think is more important than the manner in which they earn their own living, but they wouldn't be able to help nearly as much if they had different jobs.
Acting can also have enormous value to us non-actors by providing us a way to take our minds off of our own reality for a while, too. Some examples from my own life are: helping me start laughing again after a loved one died; lifting my spirits when I was severely depressed; giving me moments when I can imagine NOT being disabled, or when I can clearly remember what life was like before I needed back surgery; helping me realize life would get better when I was being bullied during middle school - and even teaching me some effective ways to deal with the bullies; and helping me understand Shakespeare's _Romeo and Juliet_, which was very difficult for me to understand before I saw actors playing the roles, and which helped me escape from whatever challenging experience I went through ever since because now I can understand and enjoy almost anything Shakespeare wrote, etc. The value of each of the above varies, of course, but each one DOES have real value.
So, it just isn't accurate to say that acting is a job that never helps anyone else.
However, I agree with you that a nurse is far more able to DIRECTLY help people through her job, and also that nurses are far more important to the world than acting is. Had you said that nurses should be paid more than actors, and that income should be indicative of the importance that particular job has to society, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. Teachers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, police, those in our military, social workers, and so on are all very much underpaid in our society, especially when compared to actors, professional sports players, and so on.
@Thunderbolt are you Indian?
@@hello-vs4dc The problem here that you are totally brushing under the carpet as if actors are all first class people is the enormous wealth the most successful ones get. Don't try to pretend that the 'work' they do (dressing up and pretending) justifies making them multi-millionaires who get red carpet treatment every day for the rest of their lives e.g. they don't pay for their clothes but instead have design houses begging them to wear their outfits, don't pay for their meals because restaurant owners are begging them to eat in their restaurant, etc. The fact that some actors give money away to charity also doesn't justify their wealth. For a start, they don't all do it. Secondly, not one of them does it to the extent that they can no longer afford to live in Beverly Hills etc. It's easy to give money away when you're up to your eyeballs in it and have everything you could possibly want *and* can right it off as a tax break.
The value of TV shows isn't so great that the world couldn't do without them. Everything they do can be got from other things (and therapy and advice is best got from experts). Moreover, you argue that the examples you give prove "real value" when in fact the value you ascribe is entirely subjective. Just because YOU found a show of value doesn't mean that it is *objectively* and *inherently* worthy.
The obscene inequality of pay between actors and doctors, nurses, firefighters, etc. isn't helped by apologists like you who actually have the profession wildly out of proportion.
WOW Megyn, force the women right to the center of their story. With this said, I really hope these women have some spiritual/mental support because they will have to tell their stories over and over...
They seldom tell any stories when it allegedly happens. Why is that. They stew on it for a few years then start whinging.
@@wileyfox3436 there are lots of reasons. trauma affects people in different ways and many people purposely try to forget about it bc they don’t want to admit what happened to themselves. Harvey Weinstein literally was one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, their entire careers would be over. Only now they felt safe to say what happened and even now it’s a struggle
When a man ask you for a massage the first time you meet, and you still socialise with him, ..........this is an odd behavior on the part the women!
Shes not a victim if she went along with it & shes not a victim if she will still talk 2 him if she knows that all of those types of encounters make her feel uncomfortable she could've stand up 4 herself & not go along with it
100%.. meeting him at a bar, hotel room, not reporting it after...
These poor women, how humiliating. Megyn Kelly is just to abrasive and cold to be apart of this issue.
Why is she so happy about it?? 👀
Yea it makes me cringe to watch
Cuz it's fake
she's not happy dear is an embarrassing laugh..she's embarrassed .. is not easy sharing something like that to an audience
Exactly, Naa.
because she is nervous and embarrassed
Where was the SCREEN ACTORS GUILD??!!!
am I the only one not buying this crap
Angela Fenech no..you're the reason why people don't report things you filth
Thank you for speaking out on this.
Accountability is everything with it comes to situations like this. #istandwiththeseswomen #speakup & #speackout
if i had to tell my story on Harvey Weinstein it wouldn't be on the Megyn Kelly show.
If you watch Melissa Thompson video you can see why he got away with this for years! She flirted back with him and then says she was naive. Since when do adsaleswomen let customers caress them?!!
I have to agree, I saw that video and it felt like she was actually trying to set him up... She even moved the camera... She allowed him to touch her... I mean , if u didn't want anything u would immediately stop that... Harvey was a monster sure but a lot of these women also played the game....
Certain things don't make no sense
And why didn't the second lady call 911, have him arrested and then sue him for millions and millions of dollars?
U need a class action lawsuit against the company.
aglobackwards only ones that make $$ on a class action are the lawyers
Thank you Mimi and Gloria Allsted! You are doing this for all of us, thank you.
So she heard of his past behavior and went to him anyway ?? Hmm ? these women need to check their ambition-meter...
when you have spent years getting a degree in drama, invested into acting, then you would understand that’s it’s not just about being famous. some people do acting as a real job
Sorry she heard rumors and still went up to his hotel room?!
You wanted a good relationship and you had an idea what kind of man you are working with ,then you just trusted him and went to his appartment .
I agree that they made it acceptable 2 b in the dudes room by theyself so its obvious that they knew all along what was gonna take place & i know that they wasnt there 4 a bed time story or 2 play cards & dominoes or an all day conversation
It’s all about power, and when power and narcissism intersect, the weakest victim becomes the prey.
I am in and from the uk. I am a mother and have a 2 year old granddaughter. Well done to ALL for speaking out, Gloria you are a she wolf, thankyou. Do we need to ask if the enablers are also victims, maybe on a different level. They too may be caught up in the web of the spider. it is very quiet here in the uk by comparison , which I find quite disturbing especially remembering the Jimmy Saville saga. Thankyou to all my sisters across the pond.
Great! Speak it out!
I don't know...How do we even know these women are saying the truth?
We don't. The media expects us to assume they are.
Wow kudos to the lawyer Gloria for sticking up for these women
Why would you list the women as "accusers" instead of "victims?" #partoftheproblem also, Megyn is horribly awkward when she interviews people. 😂
It's a legal thing. You can't call them victims as long as it's not been to trial and him having not yet been found guilty. You have to throw in "accuser" and "alleged" in just about every sentence.
Right, she made the women even more uncomfortable
accusers is probably a legal term, until convicted its an allegation?
It's to give a potentially innocent person a fair trial. By calling them victims, you rubber stamp a conviction that has not happened. This could potentially prejudice a trial irrespective of evidence.
@@mayjailerxx "Head on" - I see what you did there! ;P
Did Megan even read any of the story before this interview ? Mess
These ladies don't sound convincing at all, I'm not saying the stories are not real but if they're going to court, they need to do a better job than what they are doing now.
Mimi Haleyi testified and he was sentenced to 20 years for sexually assaulting her, then she filed a civil lawsuit and is asking for summery judgment (based of this criminal conviction) and for $ damages. Harvey's lawyers are asking to wait until his appeal is heard (appeal of criminal case, saying the verdict might be overturned), but Mimi's lawyers are requesting not to wait - wonder what the judge will decide?
You did it for a job.
What do u mean
Why is it that only the unsuccessful actresses speak out first? And then successful actresses are like "oh yea me too". By keeping their mouth shut, didn't they kind of leave actresses that followed them a sexually abusive environment? Only to come forward, not when they become powerful but when sexual harrasssment is "cool" and big in pop culter aka $$$. Don't act you all are "sisters". You fed each other to the wolves to reach success. When you say nothing, you help the abuser abuse more. You have a hand in what happened to women who came after you.
Totally agree with u
There's s lot of famous actresses who kept their mouth shut for their own agendas & careers.
Giving the abuser care blange to do it again & again & again to hundreds of women wanted to be help by the mogul
What’s up w the 1st woman’s coy smile when she recalls meeting Nosferatu? That’s weird...
lack of self-confidence, isnt it obvious?
Awkwardness, nervousness, fear of retaliation, contemplating the loss of her career? Where you see "coy," those of us who have been there see nerves.
Yes first accuser keeps smiling wtf
Luuuuuve Gloria!!!!
Not very strong testimonies, I have to say...
Totally agree
Yallre dumb af
Story seemed contrived? I hate to think that but
Sunny Girl he is clearly a guilty man who has treated women horrifically for decades, I just think these ladies stories lacked honest and simple fact telling. Very odd especially the First Lady who spoke.
stfu
The Casting Couch is on trial ! Very good
The CASTING COUCH is a choice....
You can’t put choice on trial....
@@louisj.marciano2562 i agree & aint nobody put a gun 2 these grown females heads @ the end of the day besides they made they choice 2 b involved with the casting couch
Harvey Weinstein got Bill cosby'd
Joe Smith Why do you think women wait decades before saying anything?
Why are you asking ME this question?
I appreciate these 2 beautiful women who inspire us and be the forerunner of confrontation of sexual abuse and soul murder. May God restore you with multiple blessings!
Why didn't they call 911?
@@DavidThomas-me6piIt wouldn’t tarnished their careers.
@@liampatrick3110 ah, so don't say anything and let this predator get away?
This is so sick and those women are so brave
ARE YOU KIDDING THEY ARE SO LYING THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE READING A SCRIPT
@@enzadelia5496 how do you know they are lying ? Is this a generalisation that any women who speaks about sexual harassment out is lying ?
The lawyer guy seems nervous
Logan Huynh I noticed that as well, he kept fidgeting and rubbing his hands on his legs. Both of these women didn't seem credible at all to me. One kept smiling and laughing and the other one looked like she was hypnotized!
just go to when the guy made a joke about it at the award show. anyone laughing knew about it..
QUESTION......... WHY MEET ANY MAN IN A HOTEL ROOM AND WHY BACK RACK WITH A PERSON WHO DISSED YOU UPON MEETING UP WITH HIM... DONT MAKE SENSE TO ME.
Great support Geoff, Deer in the headlights, woulda been nice to see you step in and help Dominique when she could no longer talk..
Gloria is what's wrong with America
I really don't underatand why Mimi did go with him at that time. She knew and she felt that he wants to do something to her. I really don't understand...She said two times that it was good to her to have a good relationship with weinstein. I just want to understand why so many women fall in his trap . They met him before. They saw something is wrong with him...
I always do my very best to treat women with respect, kindness and compassion. I know that while both genders are capable of mistreating others, in this case, the heart of the problem is the men. The best way to work towards solving a social issue is to raise young men up to value others and be respectable in the way they conduct themselves. Encourage a culture of excellence among men. Women also have a responsibility to behave honorably and with modesty, but in general, as with sexual harassment, the solution starts with the men.
No, Karl, the solution does NOT start with the men. That implies women are little Barbie dolls that must be protected from the mean men's world. This erroneous thinking perpetuates the problem. No! WOMEN must take responsibility for themselves by refusing to place themselves in compromising positions because of their naivete OR their belief they can "control" the situation for their own ends. Men do what they do, and most do what they can get away with. Women must acknowledge that and act accordingly.
Gloria Allred representing someone is a red flag.
That speech at the end - Right On!
Amongst all of the credible interviews coming forward, there is something off about this whole interview. Megan sure knows how to control what’s being said and these two young ladies in particular don’t seem to polished when it comes to acting or being coached. The attorneys, wellllll...
Why doesn’t she let her explain what was going on between them before the trouble ?
Good point but the host was thinking about time and wanted 'the juicy bits'.
Air time constraints
I notice that all the women in that audience are middle age women such wasted time
So many horrible comments
Megyn, you were close with Harvey. Anything you might be hiding? Gloria = Opportunist.
Spider Watson You calling Gloria apportunist what about the man that put themself in this position?CRAZY!!!
Noreen Perez Noreenie, I never did say "the man" that did any of this is innocent. He has admitted he was guilty. I do not defend him. He needs to pay the price.
MONSTER
She refused, but he did it anyway, then she just left after it's over? (8:02). Not that I don't believe these women. But how can one force cunni.lingus? No matter the man is stronger, how can he keep subduing a woman's arms and hands while being down there to do the deed?
Dissociation... flight mode... freezing that's the result when you're abused... stop playing fake expertise to blame survivors 👌
It's too bad that Gloria Alred's own daughter - Lisa Bloom - was helping Weinstein!
so proud of these ladies and they make me proud to be a woman :)
You win the 'most unreasonable comment' award of the year.
@@KeldorDAntrell i agree cuz the comment where it said "that im proud of these ladies" sounds stupid as f*** & i know that these females b lying big time
Is scary how she keeps saying how charming he was. Like girrrrl come on!!
Oww I cant imagine how these women felt with this thing crawling on you 😮
she has another show? wow
This was so awkward to watch. All that inappropriate smiling even in the audience and abrupt (misinformed) questions. It's not even about nervous laughter like the other accuser she had on but actual smiling like they're having a casual conversation..
Yep, they did not convince me either. The one sitting next to the male lawyer gives me the impression she was TOLD to dress profesional but her demeanour gives her away. Something tells me she had never worn cloths like that before. She did not sound "professional" when she TRIED to explain herself. Some big holes in her story.
Alot of these women coming forward have valid reasons to and deserve to be compensated....but I will bet some will lie to get the $$$$
Thank you to these brave women. Also, Megyn's gold mic is giving me life!
Dominique's attorney is being negligent staying reticent.
after a pay off not justice
"I wanted to keep a good relationship with him," she said. So is it that she KNEW he was a predator and went to his room anyway because she wanted his favor? Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems her actions make her complicit in his predation. It's disturbing how these women place themselves in close quarters with these men, KNOWING by evidence and through their own intuition that these men have lewd intentions, and STILL place themselves in these situations to further their careers. Of course he says it was consensual. He can truthfully claim they came to his room willingly (knowing he'd already made a pass or suggestive comment), no matter what they say after the fact. Men smell weakness, and if these women do not present themselves as victims, up to and including physically attacking him when he attempts this, like any bully, he would back off. Why, why, why don't these women remove themselves, even if by force, when these sexual bullies do this? It seriously compromises their credibility and magnifies men's expectation that we can be used for their amusement. DON'T WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP OURSELVES OUT OF HARM'S WAY?
Well said! What Harvey has done is despicable and he is a predator....at the same time we need to empower ourselves and not make it easy for predators. They feed on the ones that will not speak up or will back down from "no" or continually go to private meetings....take your power back!
I agree & some of these females need 2 learn self respect & stop going 2 private spots like hotels & think they gonna get a bedtime story or a cup of milk with a plate of cookies which is not gonna happen any grown female should know that & use good judgment
Now they need some $$$
The problem is that if there's no DNA or film that backup the story's that the say but
I'm sure his not innocent but the knock out blow must be
With real hard evidence to put this guy away and its not going to easy to do
*Megyn
Brave women. Means a lot to others in the same situations.
for once I agree with Gloria
Gloria ! Lol
If the first one bit it off the other ones wouldn't have to go through this.
sounds like he talked her into it by insisting.
#stopweinsteincompany #againstcelebswhoknewit #nomoredreamlandhollywood
#guiltycelebshowcanyoulookinthemirror
sorry, I still don't find any logical excuse as to why these women would go to the man's hotel room or apartment alone?!
And they had the gall, the adacity to arrest Bill Cosby???????????? Something is wrong with this picture!!
Check out how she acted on the Howard stern show back in the day! She’s sold out also!
The show host!
AndreaJean Live which one was on stern
“In trouble”...you mean attacked?
sadly, I don't believe what they male lawyer said about other industries not tolerizing this behaviour... this probably happens in many companies as well. If the boss harasses women, what employee confronts him or goes to the police and risks losing their job?
The attorney looks nervous
Kelly was in the same situation ??
I like Gloria Allred, but what is her position on women being forced to change in the locker room with men? Why didn't she represent Riley Gaines?
Pathetic the way they start talking like children.
Why the heck they going to the room???? Why they keeping "friendship". Friends dont "tuck "!!! Just say that You go because of carrier.....
about Harvey
The 2nd gifl looked like shes reading a script
justpinahy she was
His brother Bob should be in jail with him.
Why?
Harvey Weinstein had his conviction thrown out. Except Megyn was thrown out of NBC first
Interesting
And she didnt fight him back
She just said he was bigger than her and forceful and that she feared she wouldn’t be able to get out if she did
Tiny 110 pound woman vs. big, hulking man. How do you fight?
What is she a host or police detective, I felt as if she were leading the victims. The man is a beast but why oh why would you put yourself in this position, for money,fame or just plain being stupid. Oh yes, this is the last time I will watch Megyn Kelly ever again the woman is insensitive, heartless and leading interrogator.
The only thing that will make an end to this is "bobit maneuver"
Both of these women seem like they felt they need to do this to get roles. This is definitely abuse of power, but not exactly sexual assault.
A B I calm it prostitution, Not abuse of power sorry...
My friend in Dallas knows Mimi. He said she chased men with money.
