Sounds like you are blaming the victims with this post.
I keep up with many late night shows and every single one has NOT been silent on Weinstein.The silence of the late night "comedians" is deafening....not that I watch them....but on reports I've seen of their hypocrisy.
Well having been raped by my boss, and then pregnant with his child I would not be thanking him in a public forum buts that's just me. That's all I will say on this subject.
What does this have to do with what I posted?
Not a big follower of who did what to who re:actors so I'll keep my comments to the bold section.Haven't read all the posts, but here are my observations ..
I'm not an Angelina Jolie fan, but am very impressed that after she was harassed by him, she put her money where her mouth is, and chose to never work with him again.
Gwenyth Paltrow - "was" harassed, and later thanked him in her Oscar speech.
Many of the other accusers are B list or less actresses... are they that because they didn't give in to him, and didn't get roles that would have catapulted them into fame?
Haven't noticed him being roasted by late night TV...
And the actress shown with Ben Affleck has spoken out, saying what is being shown was all an act. They are actors, after all.
If you can't figure it out then never mind. Done.

Not at all.
Blame the Hollywood culture, perhaps - as it was the way the business operated, and continue (d? s?) to afterward.
Should they have continued to work with him - and publicly praise him - after being attacked/harrassed ? Most people would say no.
I will disagree and say it's our culture in general. "Hollywood" is just a "microcosm with bling" of everyday life which I suppose is why so many follow it avidly.Not at all.

EXACTLY, doesn't take a mental giant to figure that out!I didn't see it that way. I think the poster was asking a legit question. Why are celebrities who were sexually harassed by Weinstein thanking him in their post harassment speeches? That's not blaming them, that's asking a very legit question. To me it sounds like they thanked him because they wanted to continue working with him, despite the harassment. You see it differently?

You have to stay up later at night
Excerpted from the NYT:
"Last week, an investigation published by The New York Times revealed decades’ worth of harassment allegations against Mr. Weinstein. But in the days immediately afterward, many late-night comedy programs ignored the scandal, including “S.N.L.” The show had prepared some jokes about Mr. Weinstein for its Oct. 7 broadcast but did not use them; a person familiar with preparations for the episode said that the material played poorly in a dress rehearsal and that the Weinstein story was regarded as possibly unfamiliar to a wide national audience."
DGD lives with us at times so I had to give up my regular diet of South Park, Breaking Bad (thank goodness for re-runs) and various forms of the "Dead".So is this where South Park steps in? They are beholden to no one and don't care. This is why I watch them sometimes.

By the way...is Kenny still dead?
Thanks for the heads up
