SNL was silent about it as well. Probably hits too close to home, as many on the cast were either subject to his sexual harassment or knew someone who was.

Trump is no boy scout, and certainly has made vulgar comments about things which he was ALLOWED to do, but this isn't about him. He didn't hold any woman's career in the palm of his hand and make her do tricks for him, under threat of being cast off into the gutter, like Weinstein did. And yet Trump is the epitome of the evil rich white hyper toxic masculine elite, and we get crickets from the Left when it comes to good ol Harv'.

This isn't a case of a few bad apples that were tolerated. It almost seems inescapable.

Plus we know some stuff went down between Whedon and his ex, and we can see Whedon's actually not very feminist and quite misogynist tweets about women, and there were always "jokes" about Whedon's on-set handling of women and nudity, all those haha knee slappers about "having to film the scene over again three times wink wink."

You're missing the point. While virtue signaling against the insufferable antics of Trump, and telling us how his election felt like getting raped ( Ashley Judd ) , the ACTUAL rapes and groping by Harvey Weinstein got ignored for DECADES ...why?

Because he was giving lots and lots of $$ to the 'right' types of people , on the political LEFT ! Like Hillary Clinton, and vowing to fight against such REAL problems in our country, like the NRA, and Trump.

Please.

And yes, same goes for our own Joss Whedon, who preached ' grrrl power' to Nth degree, but was nailing actresses on the side, cheating on his wife, and treating other women like garbage.

Casting couch stories are certainly nothing new. I get that. But when the very high holies of Hollywood , the movers and shakers are casting aspersions towards everyone not as enlightened as they are, while tossing 100's of thousands of dollars to those no better than themselves ( Bill Clinton ) or siding with HER, it's clear they are nothing but a pack of social hyenas. F them.

To be fair, there's lighting issues to be resolved, the proper angle of the camera...

I bet Mal's nekked in the desert scene was done in one take though.

@rosemcgowan
1) @jeffbezos I told the head of your studio that HW raped me. Over & over I said it. He said it hadn’t been proven. I said I was the proof.

Apparently Harvey raped her, then paid her off w/ hush money, and she signed a non disclosure , which she's now trashed. The " incident " took place in 1997, as she was 23 at the time. Harvey was nearly twice her age ( 45 ). The pay off was for $ 100,000.

His wife knew: Heather Graham says Harvey Weinstein's first wife was aware he slept with other women and details how the producer once alluded to an exchange of sex for a role

Heather Graham is the latest to accuse Harvey Weinstein of trying to force himself on her in exchange for a role in one of his movies
Graham said in the early 2000s she was offered a lead role in one of his movies
She said that at the meeting he bragged that his wife knew he slept with other women while he was out of town - saying she was 'okay with it'
The 47-year-old said she wasn't explicitly offered a trade of sex for work, but felt it was implied, and made up an excuse to avoid meeting with him again
Five other women, including Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow, all came forward Tuesday to accuse him of sexual assault and rape

So Hollywood has finally bared its moral fangs, expelling disgraced Harvey Weinstein from the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences.

He’s the first person ever to be banished on grounds of ‘sexually predatory behaviour’.

Which, when you consider who still remains a member of the Academy, might just strike you, as a little odd, if not bloody, shamefully ridiculous.

Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, admitted having unlawful sex with a minor, and then fled the country before he was sentenced.

He remains a member.

Woody Allen ran off with and later married his wife Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi. He was then accused of repeatedly sexually abusing his own adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was just seven years old.

He remains a member.

BRETT Ratner has ended his relationship with Warner Bros. following allegations that the producer sexually harassed multiple women.

Variety reports that the studio spent a day reviewing the allegations, however Ratner was the one who made the decision to part ways with Warner Bros.

In a statement, he said: “In light of the allegations being made, I am choosing to personally step away from all Warner Bros.-related activities.

“I don’t want to have any possible negative impact to the studio until these personal issues are resolved.”

The deal he had with Warner Bros. was worth US$450 million (A$586 million) and was set to end in March 2018. There are five more films that RatPac Entertainment, of which Ratner is CEO, yet to be released. No decision has been made on whether or not the pact will be renewed.

Former 'Male Feminist' Columnist Faces Multiple Allegations of Assault

On October 6, Helen Donahue, who previously worked as a social media editor for Vice and also wrote for the website, posted photos of bruises on her upper body, neck, and face to Twitter. “sux men in media hate women yet write abt feminism n masquerade as allies but its sadder this happens,” she wrote. “2015 i screamed @ my own reflection.”

Shortly after, another writer named Deirdre Coyle quoted Donahue’s tweet, writing “these bruises came from the same guy who physically forced me to do cocaine during sex.” And yet another woman known on Twitter by her first name, Dilara, quoted Coyle’s tweet, writing: “This is the same guy who choked me at the foot of his stairs until I passed out and then repeatedly punched me in the face.”

All three women confirmed to each other privately that the man they were referring to was writer Michael Hafford, a former freelance columnist for Broadly and freelance writer for outlets like Refinery29, Rolling Stone, T Magazine and more. The rapper ka5sh, a friend of Donahue’s, also tweeted that Hafford was the man Donahue’s tweet was referring to.

Hafford’s column at Broadly, Vice’s site aimed at women, was “Male Feminist Here,” a satire of male feminism and allyship that ran for three months in 2015. (Disclosure: I also wrote a piece for Broadly in 2015.) “The Male Feminist knows how much the love of a good woman means. Hell, the Male Feminist would settle for grudging acceptance,” Hafford wrote in the first edition of the column. “Not that he’s desperate. He just loves being around women, you know?”
Donahue was first emboldened to come forward on social media after a BuzzFeed investigation revealed that former Broadly editor Mitchell Sunderland had been emailing stories to Milo Yiannopolous to mock via Breitbart. The day after BuzzFeed’s story came out, Vice’s HR was first made aware of allegations around Hafford’s behavior through these Twitter posts, and “he was banned from contributing to any of the company’s properties,” a spokesperson wrote in an email to Jezebel. “Vice does not tolerate assault of any kind, or behavior that is disrespectful or offensive to any group or demonstrates bias or bigotry, and we took action as soon as we learned what happened. We continue to review the matter.”
Former Broadly Editor-in-Chief (and, previously, longtime Jezebel staffer) Tracie Egan Morrissey told Jezebel that she had never met Hafford or had any communications with him during the three months he contributed to the site, but after editors informed her that “he had become aggressive and rude and difficult to work with,” the column was killed in December 2015. His behavior was confirmed by another current editor who prefers to remain anonymous.
