Why was she the exception to his harrassments? Do you think she willingly "hooked up" with him?

Who do you think willingly hooked up with Weinstein to get roles?

I feel a lot of actress willingly hooked up with him to advanced their careers or get that big movie break. (although probably all of them wished that they didn't have to but they played the game) I feel Harvey went overboard with his casting couch tactics. He became overconfident.

Maybe he didn't find her attractive?

Are you serious? Good for her for NOT being a victim to this pig. Who cares what the reasons were.

Perhaps the opportunity simply never presented itself. If that's the case, she's very fortunate.

I feel for any woman who was put in a situation where she "willingly" went along with his advances. I say "willingly" in quotes because it was likely a Sophie's choice between her allowing herself to be violated or possibly tanking her career. No woman should ever be put in that position.

I think we'll never know and it's not worth speculating about it IMO.

Good for HER?


You seem to not realize that it's not a choice a woman makes. One is either harassed or one isn't. It's not up to her.


My gut feeling is she went with it. She's not the brightest bulb.

I think you misunderstood what Fluid was saying. Good for her for apparently not having found herself in a situation where she was being sexually harassed by him.

“I was deeply disturbed to hear the news about Harvey Weinstein’s behavior,” Lawrence said in a statement to Variety. “I worked with Harvey five years ago and I did not experience any form of harassment personally, nor did I know about any of these allegations. This kind of abuse is inexcusable and absolutely upsetting.”
Yes, good for her. That is a good thing.

Are you saying that Jennifer Lawrence went along with it, or more than willing to participate in it to advance her career. If she was a willing participant, there was no harassment. Even before this Weinstein scandal, there were lots of speculations that she slept her way to the top, including an assertion from Lindsay Lohan.
