Yes but I guess it's like blackmail, you don't do it and your name is blackened around Hollywood or the next girl will do etc, that's not right

Yes, I know that there's a lot of that too. I'm not saying it's all the fault of women, of course not... but I do believe women who've gone down that route and gone on to brilliant careers, acting, directing... have done other women a disservice. And it's not just in the film industry, that's how some women roll. Thankfully, it's a very small percentage... but they're really the enemy of other women as much as people - I can't bring myself to call him a man - like Weinstein.

And something that really pisses me off.... He's either Winestine or he's Weensteen, you can't bloody have it both ways.

I think all this stuff coming out can only be a good thing though, eventhough some people are complaining about it, maybe it will make it better for women in Hollywood in the future

Oh yes... and for some men too. Except that it's all scoop and scandal. People are being named by unverified, someones unnamed sources and suddenly their career is over. No one's been tried, no one's been found guilty... Men who do stuff like Weinstein did, and I bet there are lots of them, need to be brought to account but it all needs to be done is a far more level-headed,less headline-grabbing way. That's a big ask in Hollywood though...
