The idea that the young woman looking for a break into movies will have to sleep with the director or producer to get the role is not rape but it is still absolutely wrong.

No woman should be faced with "Have sex with me or go back to being a waitress". Oprah knows what was going on. We all did.

This was back from '98

Back in those days, it's called business. C'mon McGown and Paltrow were all rewarded by Harvey.

Today it is still business but it will become less and less as many men are outted by social media. The outcome of this will be that many women will have a harder time getting roles or gigs without a way to get close to a studio exec.

I'm sure Harvey will just stick to flying to Thailand instead of sitting in the office.

I'm sure a lot of the ass kissing was about the Academy Awards, Miramax didn't exactly play fair.

No, they do not. You do. Do not try to wrap others up in your racist idea.

I'll take this to heart -- a celebrity talking about a celebrity.

This is so important and worth repeating.

Who needs news when you have Seal reporting for us

Hollywood is a cesspool.
This should have been done decades ago.
The point I was making was that Oprah would be a hero for exposing it. The liberal media would put her on an even higher pedestal than they do now if she exposed Weinstein. Think about the ratings and how much money she'd make if she did know about Weinstein and exposed him with a prime time special?

She'd be invited to all the morning, daily, and late night talk shows. People would praise her. It would probably generate tens of millions for her brand.

Is that not a fair point, at least? That Oprah, with her clout, money, and popularity, would stand to gain a huge amount of revenue for the O brand if she exposed Weinstein with a tell-all special that included the interviews and stories of some of the most famous actresses with accusations against Harvey.


Do you think a woman with as big of an ego like Oprah has, and the financial gain she would see, would turn down the opportunity to break one of Hollywood's biggest stories ever on the network that she owns and operates?

I bet Oprah beat Steadman extra hard after that speech.

Come on guys. Oprah was abused and raped and impregnated by her rapist. I do not think for one minute that she would ever look the other way if she had direct knowledge of any abuser.
