When Gwyneth Paltrow was 22 years old, she got a role that would take her from actress to star: The film producer Harvey Weinstein hired her for the lead in the Jane Austen adaptation “Emma.” Before shooting began, he summoned her to his suite at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for a work meeting that began uneventfully.Story here.
It ended with Mr. Weinstein placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages, she said.
“I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,” she said in an interview, publicly disclosing that she was sexually harassed by the man who ignited her career and later helped her win an Academy Award.
She refused his advances, she said, and confided in Brad Pitt, her boyfriend at the time. Mr. Pitt confronted Mr. Weinstein, and soon after, the producer threatened her not to tell anyone else about his come-on. “I thought he was going to fire me,” she said.
Ok. I admit that I think a bit differently than other people but this is disgusting! I'm not talking about the over the top behavior. Perverts have existed since the dawn of man.
No what I find disgusting is that these Hollywood types are stating that this was an open secret.
Think about that!
These are the same people that have lectured the masses about various topics and their own houses are filled with filth that they haven't dealt with.
Even more stunning?
These Hollywood types have mixed and mingled with mainstream news media AND politicians!
I wonder how much depravity actually exists among the so called elite. I'm not talking about private stuff either. I'm talking about "common" knowledge that they keep among themselves and we never hear about.
We are wary of the crack or meth head. We steer clear of the gangsters and the hookers. But the most vile creatures of all are probably making our movies and tv shows.
Rant over.
