Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

The 1% only get nailed 1% of the time, but at least it was a solid pick this time.

His spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, told Page Six that he was miserable but trying to be optimistic, even though he suffered a fall earlier this week.
“He has had a lot of time to think about his life and be humbled, but he thinks it’s going to be a long, uphill battle from here.”

Die in prison you evil shiteheel

Should have been more.

Think he has at least one other trial in the pipeline?

He does have other trials pending, in California, no?

Yes, Bob Weinstein who knew nothing about any of it whatsoever

It seems that Bob knew about Harvey being aggressively casting-couch-y decades ago and had upbraided him (& received promises that Harvey had reformed, especially in his last marriage) but had long disassociated himself as much as possible from Harvey personally (due to H being an asshole in general) and professionally, so that Bob could run Dimension, under both Disney and TWC, without his filmmakers having to fear the abuse and interference that Harvey was famous for.

So yeah, he probably knew a bit, and some / lots of what he didn’t know was probably wilful ignorance, but general accounts of working with Dimension in the last 22 years of its existence have indicated that he and Harvey were no longer close at work or outside.

"I really feel remorse for this situation," the former Hollywood producer said, his voice barely audible, as he addressed the court before the sentence was handed down. "I feel it deeply in my heart. I will spend my time really caring and really trying to be a better person."

"I'm not going to say these aren't great people, I had wonderful times with these people, you know," Weinstein said of his accusers. "It is just I'm totally confused and I think men are confused about all of these issues."

yes, it's everyone's else fault for not explaining it all to him

unfrozen caveman lawyer routine doesn't work IRL

"I had wonderful times forcing my blackhead-drilled jowls against these women's vulvas," the Oscar-winning producer fondly recalled

dude

sic don’t do that

Please don’t do that

sorry - without seeing any of the other context of whatever omar's quoting, I find that neutral/sympathetic phrasing hideous, especially weeks after conviction & in reporting sentencing.

Kate Beckinsale with an account of working with Harvey.

wow

ugh

This is neither here nor there, but she looked cool af in that photo.

Ugh

she’s right of course in that what he did there wasn’t “illegal”, it’s just the baseline for any number of abusive pieces of shit operating in a lot of industries and of course really prevalent in Hollywood. Maybe less so now, but maybe just barely. Scott Rudin won’t get run out of town for that behavior tho he probably should be.

Imagine having someone yell at you like that, talk to you that way when you brought your kid over for a playdate and probably didn't even actually want to go
I share her relief that he is going to jail for 23 years, where he will die.

so very otm

pretty sure woody allen has been telling his side of the story for like sixty years now

Yeah, also if that was his only motivation he can publish his damn memoirs on medium.

It's the small snippets of good news that make the general misery endurable

'That '70s Show' actor Danny Masterson charged with three counts of rape in Los Angeles

Good.

That guy's been under a shadow for so long for these, amazed he finally got charged

The Scienos can only help you for so long, I guess.

Was gonna say, I thought he was charged with this a few years back.

One of the victims is Chrissie Bixler, who is married to Cedric from Mars Volta. A couple years ago they were publically accusing the Sci-Ties of killing their dog. And now, looking into it, apparently they had a dog poisoned this year too: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8548927/mars-voltas-cedric-bixler-zavala-scientologists-killed-dog

And the CYE music at the ends caps it perfectly (shoulda played a second or two longer).

Re: Ron Jeremy - how surprising that someone who describes the allegations as "buyers remorse" might turn out to actually be a rapist after all

Was there one of these threads specifically for the music industry or should I just leave this instagram full of Bassnectar allegations here?

https://www.instagram.com/evidenceagainstbassnectar/

i have zero idea who bassnectar is but my assumption about any allegation against an EDM DJ is that the allegation is true.

Apparently it's rife at Burger Records, a label that seemed pretty cool.

https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/07/burger-record-artists-sexual-misconduct

there's a new thread for music business example, btw: rolling #metoo thread for sexual harassment in the music industry so no one misses out when artists we don't give a fuck about like Tim Westwood and Bassnectar get caught

Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name. I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15. pic.twitter.com/mVqiN4S9NW
