:metoo: Harvey Weinstein

To be fair, and I make no apologies his actions. He did apologise to the women in question a few years ago. Well before it was public. He does seem quite contrite.

All that does is make him slightly more advanced than the average(not a great feat).

I’m assuming this clip was a set up, but that doesn’t excuse the intent (from a Frankie Boyle fan at his absolutely most offensive).

Agree with the solution as well?

You know he’s a predator.

“You know he’s a predator.”

“The man’s an egotistical cunt. I hope he dies painful and soon.”

Really :slight_frown:

Basically anybody famous is now fair game for any person they have had bad sex with.

and I mean that in a good way.

Now you have separated those statements, i do indeed feel bad.

It should say painfully, not painful. Sorry.

He’s still a egotistical predatory cunt(did i mention he deserves to die painfully? Preferably soon, if that’s possible).

There’s absolutely no genuine contrition in his lawyers statement at all.

God she must have been a right munter

In this case Louis has seemed to admit guilt as much. He masturbated in front of 4 women. Some of his stand up was an admittance, he knew he’d done something wrong. I don’t think he was predatory person. And he will pay, financially and career wise it’s over for him now.

This reactionary “he needs to die now painfully” is wrong.

Edit. It wasn’t 4 women at the same time, I don’t know, 2 first in the 90’s then some more later on. Ask him :laughing:

There is very little contrition in any of this. Now it seems the thing to do is to say that they have issues and that they are “seeking treatment.” They dont even bother to throw in sex additction any more which used to be the get out clause. Their lawyers seem to be telling them to say that they are “examining their behaviour,” It is the police and the prosecution that need to examine their behaviour.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy it.

Right up until the last moment, Louis and those around him were trying to keep this stuff quiet. As has been mentioned, people have tried to report on this for a while, and those people have had their livelihoods threatened. I’m not buying any of these bullshit apologies. He’s sorry he got caught, not that he did it.

I’d be pretty surprised if those that have so far come forward were the only people he did this too.

Yep, just about sums it up for me.

He’s the same as the rest of them and i find it disturbing that people are trying to make excuses for him because they find his shows amusing.

He used his supposed art to play out his perverted fantasies, which in turn strengthened his power over others, as it normalised his actions(on national tv).

Why does everyone seem to be so in awe of these people, just because their faces regularly appear on the idiot box?

This article probably belongs in the “art or artist” thread, but you should never separate the two. That’s just using one as an excuse to ignore the actions of the other.

At the same time, he’s built alternative-world versions of himself — as in the FX show “Louie” — where he’s tried on the identities of aging creep, attempted rapist and exhibitionist masturbator. He’s also made his character the victim of similar crimes: Louie has been forced to perform oral sex on a date and been anally penetrated by his friend Pamela as he screams in protest. In each case, he recovers easily from the violation — just as Pamela shrugs it off after Louie tries to drag her, kicking and screaming, to bed with him. These episodes garnered acclaim as canny twists on gender politics, and their critical reception was clearly vaulted by their engagement with current debates around consent.

These scenes now play differently. What once looked like creative provocations now read like justifications of a moral universe where women are as complicit in sexual violation as men are, and where sex that begins with force easily gives way to mutual desire.

Some stuff starting to come out today about Bill Clinton and two teenage girls. It’s all starting to get very murky.

Clinton - apparently four women will press charges unless they are given money to keep quiet. Hmmmm.

Clinton is a natural born liar. We’ll probably have to wait till he drops dead before we know the ins and outs of that cunts ins and outs.

How far back will it go? Kennedy was a famous womaniser and is quoted as saying that he got a headache if he didn’t “have a strange piece of ass everyday.”

That’s the least of JFK’s worries.

So accurate

Apology Generator

While I do not recall the events at the 2009 Golden Globes Party transpiring the same way, I am deeply ashamed (but not “sorry” because that means I’m guilty of something). I was intoxicated at the time, and of course now I realize my behavior was wrong. In conclusion, I will delete my Twitter account because I hate to see people who are mad at me.
