So forgive me if I’m not massively convinced by Tinsel Town’s panicky little bout of ethical house cleaning.

In fact, the whole on-going torrent of nauseating hypocrisy surrounding the Weinstein scandal makes me puke.

It’s epitomized by British actress Kate Winslet, who is suddenly very, VERY keen for all of us to know exactly how far she went to stand up to Weinstein.

Winslet, 42, told the LA Times she deliberately refused to thank him when she won an Oscar in 2009 for starring in his movie The Reader.

I remember being told, “Make you sure you thank Harvey if you win”,’ she recounted. ‘And I remember turning around and saying, ‘”No, I won’t. I won’t.” And it was nothing to do with not being grateful. If people aren’t well-behaved, why would I thank him?’

Lest we be in any doubt as to what happened, Ms Winslet emphasised:
‘That was deliberate. That was absolutely deliberate.’

I think we get the drift, Kate.

When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein.

More than 20 women have publicly accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape. After the New York Times and the New Yorker published in-depth stories detailing the testimonies of women who have been abused by Weinstein—and in many cases, paid off with airtight non-disclosure agreements—the stories have continued to come to light.

He says he was a former personal “friend” of a woman named Diana Jenkins. She’s the abovementioned Rosetta Stone of every scandal and perversion from Hwood all over the globe.

The actor describes her as an “uber-wealthy divorcee, whose hubby ran UK’s Barclay’s bank – and she ran the Arab investors for the bank!” This major philanthropist, political donor, arts supported and social hostess to everyone has been running a high-class call girl/party girl ring for Arabs, Wall Street, DC, Royals and Hollywood elites.

Her best friends include Sean Penn, Ari Emanuel, George Clooney, Clive Davies [Whitney Houston’s mentor], Cindy Crawford and her “little pet” Hayden “Leslie P” Panettiere. Diana is actually the connection between wealthy Arabs, Asians, Athletes and Hwood actresses/models.

Let’s see. Here are a few choice bits culled from dailywire.com:

In 1992, Hillary describes one of Bill’s women, Gennifer Flowers, as “some failed cabaret singer who doesn’t even have much of a résumé to fall back on.” She says, if given the chance to cross-examine Flowers in court, “I mean, I would crucify her.”

Hillary on Monica Lewinsky: “narcissistic loony toon.”

Hillary, while practicing as a lawyer, defends a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. She wins the case. Then on tape, she’s caught saying, “He [her client] took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.” Then she breaks up laughing.

Hillary talking about Weinstein has the moral high ground of a dump truck unloading toxic chemicals in a landfill.

The Clinton Foundation told DailyMail.com it will not return as much as $250,000 in donations from Harvey Weinstein, saying on Sunday the money had already been spent on the organization’s programs and used for charitable purposes.

Hollywood’s de facto governing body, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, voted overwhelmingly on Saturday to “immediately expel” Harvey Weinstein, breaking with 90 years of precedent and turning one of the biggest Oscar players in history into a hall-of-fame pariah.

The academy’s 54-member board of governors made the decision at an emergency session after investigations by The New York Times and The New Yorker that revealed sexual harassment and rape allegations against him going back decades.

In a statement, the academy said the vote was “well in excess of the required two-thirds majority.”

The biggest open-secret in Hollywood was that Harvey Weinstein was a Grade-A pervert. And his ‘coming out party’ this week is incredibly intriguing. Hollywood is a dirty place.

When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein.

Guerrero remembered being happy about the line reading audition, and at that point, there were no red flags surrounding Seagal, who was also producing Fire Down Below. That changed, however, when Guerrero received a call from her manager later in the day.

“That same day my manager called. ‘Steven wants to offer you the lead,’ she said, ‘but you have to go back to his home for a private rehearsal tonight.'”

Lisa Guerrero declined Steven Seagal’s alleged invitation to a private rehearsal, and as a result, the lead female role in Fire Down Below went to Marg Helgenberger instead. As a consolation, Guerrero was still given a small part in the film, getting listed as an unnamed “Blonde Beauty” in the credits. But she claims that Seagal and one of his male crew members might have been making crude comments about her when she arrived on the set.

“He was looking at me and then he’d say something to them and there’d be laughter.”

Roy Price, the executive in charge of Amazon’s growing investment in movies and television shows, was suspended by the company on Thursday after a Hollywood producer publicly accused him of making unwanted sexual advances toward her.

Mr. Price, the head of Amazon Studios, was accused of lewdly propositioning Isa Dick Hackett, a producer of one of its most popular shows, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier in the day.

In the interview, Ms. Hackett, an executive producer of the Amazon series “The Man in the High Castle,” said that Mr. Price had repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances toward her two years ago after a dinner at Comic-Con in San Diego.

When reached by The New York Times on Thursday, Ms. Hackett said she was “talked out” but said that the details in the article, written by Kim Masters, were accurate.

“I just wanted to get that out,” Ms. Hackett said in the brief phone interview.

“As soon as I was in there, I realised it was a terrible mistake. I got to the hotel room, I remember talk of a massage and I thought that was pretty gross. I think he showed me his big back and I found that pretty horrid.

“Then before I knew it, he started trying to pull my clothes off and pin me down and I just kept saying, ‘No, no, no.’ But he was really forceful. I remember him pulling at my trousers and stuff and looming over me and I just sort of – I am a big, strong girl and I bolted … ran for the bathroom and locked the door.”

“I was in there for a while, I think. He went very quiet. After a while I remember opening the door and seeing him just there facing the door, masturbating, so I quickly closed the door again and locked it. Then when I heard room service come to the door, I just ran,” she said.

Plagued by an ever growing scandal involving allegations of sexual harassment and assault going back decades, Weinstein’s reputation is done. His name is even being taken off the credits of upcoming projects he was involved with, including a David O. Russell TV series and The Current War starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

From what started off as rumours, it is now a howling chorus as the industry’s most famous players line up to condemn his behaviour.
But how did it get to this point? How was Weinstein able to amass so much power as to command so much fealty and, consequently, silence?

where was Clooney’s moral conscience for the 20 years he was silent about the serial sexual predator who was running amok in his own industry? How can Clooney, Meryl Streep, and their peers continue to claim America’s moral high ground when they simply shrugged at what was going on with their pal Harvey Weinstein?

For more than twenty years, Weinstein, who is now sixty-five, has also been trailed by rumors of sexual harassment and assault. His behavior has been an open secret to many in Hollywood and beyond, but previous attempts by many publications, including The New Yorker, to investigate and publish the story over the years fell short of the demands of journalistic evidence. Too few people were willing to speak, much less allow a reporter to use their names, and Weinstein and his associates used nondisclosure agreements, payoffs, and legal threats to suppress their accounts. Asia Argento, an Italian film actress and director, said that she did not speak out until now—Weinstein, she told me, forcibly performed oral sex on her—because she feared that Weinstein would “crush” her. “I know he has crushed a lot of people before,” Argento said. “That’s why this story—in my case, it’s twenty years old, some of them are older—has never come out.”

Weinstein's representative Sallie Hofmeister did not immediately return a message seeking comment, but has said: "Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein."

McGowan last year said she had been raped by a "studio head".

After days of widening scandal, McGowan appeared emboldened to go further in her descriptions of her past experiences with Weinstein.

Shortly before a series of tweets addressed to Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, McGowan tweeted a woman warrior picture with #Rosearmy and stated "It's on".

"I told the head of your studio that HW raped me," said McGowan in tweets directed to Bezos.

Weinstein, who was married at the time, is accused of assuming Myleene would have sex with him and intended to keep her silent with a ‘confidentiality agreement’, according to The Sun.

However, upon hearing his offer Klass reportedly fled the lunch feeling ‘disgusted and angry’.

A friend of the former Hear’Say singer claimed: ‘She thought his intentions were genuine. But as soon as she found out what he really wanted, she told him to f*** off.’

That same year, Klass spoke about an encounter with a big ‘Hollywood star’ whose PA handed her a confidentiality contract.
She said it would ‘bring Hollywood down’ if she named him.

Emma Thompson has described Harvey Weinstein as a "predator" as she called on Hollywood to heed the lessons of the scandal surrounding the Hollywood producer.

Appearing on BBC's Newsnight on Thursday, the Oscar-winning actress admitted the allegations against Weinstein did not come as a shock.

"I didn't know about these things but they don't surprise me at all and they are endemic to the system anyway," she said.

Weinstein, in effect, was perfectly suited for his role. He is a man of infinite appetites with poor impulse control. A pathetic loser with power over hot, young women desperate for fame.

And these women made the trade willingly. “Small price to pay, right?” Wrong.

Look at the women most opposed to Trump, the Ashley Judds, the Gwynneth Paltrows. They were all used by Weinstein or someone like him. More will come out every day.

Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment scandal isn’t only an indictment of his twisted soul, but of America’s as well.

The story of Weinstein, the uber-powerful film producer, co-founder of Miramax Films and major donor to Democratic politicians, who got fired from his job as co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company after the New York Times ran an article exposing his serial sexual harassment of female employees, is such a perfect storm of corruption, depravity and hypocrisy that it exquisitely encapsulates the moral decay of America.

The New York Times piece revealed that Weinstein has settled at least eight different sexual harassment lawsuits over the years. The article was just the tip of a really grotesque iceberg, for in its wake a plethora of other claims has surfaced.

TV director Jace Alexander was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years’ probation on child pornography charges in New York. The former Law & Order helmer had pleaded guilty in January to promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing an obscene performance by a child. He had faced up to seven years in prison. Alexander also must register as a sex offender in New York.

A defiant Harvey Weinstein was pictured giving a huge 'f*** you' to the world on Wednesday, hours before he headed to rehab believed to be in Arizona.

The embattled movie mogul looked bedraggled as he entered the offices of his lawyer Patty Glasser flanked by stern-faced and suited male members of his entourage.

As he walked in through the doors, the disgraced 65-year-old flipped the bird, appearing unrepentant in the face of a slew of shocking allegations of rape and sexual assault from at least 30 Hollywood actresses.

The Weinstein Company board, which stated on Tuesday that it was not aware of the cash settlements Harvey Weinstein had made regarding sexual harassment allegations, was alerted to the payments in 2015, according to an interview by the New York Times with lawyer David Boies.

Boies represented Harvey Weinstein in 2015 when Weinstein’s contract was up for renewal. According to the interview, Boies stated that the board was informed of three or four of the settlements Weinstein had reached.

Hollywood elites present themselves as champions of virtue and liberal values. The same elites have also found common cause with the left part of the political spectrum. The Harvey Weinstein scandal presents a very different picture – a truly ugly picture. Will Hollywood now face up to its hypocrisy?

Harvey Weinstein is hiring a new lawyer who plans to discredit the women who have spoken out about the sexual harassment and assault they allegedly faced at the hands of the famed producer, DailyMail.com has exclusively learned.

Los Angeles lawyer Patricia 'Patty' Glaser will represent Weinstein in wake of the several damaging allegations that were revealed in an explosive New York Times report on Thursday, sources told DailyMail.com

The top Hollywood litigator will take over for Lisa Bloom, who championed herself as a women's advocate in the past, after the celebrity attorney quit over the weekend.

Harvey Weinstein's wife, Georgina Chapman, has announced that she is leaving the movie mogul after a string of women claimed that he had sexually harassed or assaulted them.

'My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband,' she told People.

'Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time.'

At the same time as Chapman made the announcement, Weinstein made a departure of his own - to Europe, by private jet.

Hillary Clinton was a friend of Harvey Weinstein whose campaign coffers were boosted by his own cash and that of his celebrity friends

She finally spoke Tuesday afternoon, issuing statement after three rape allegations were leveled at him

Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie also joined the list of victims before she spoke

Walt Disney Studios, a name synonymous with family entertainment, has become embroiled in an unlikely controversy with disclosures that the writer/director of its latest film, "Powder," is a convicted child molester.

Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who ran the Walt Disney Company during the Harvey Weinstein years (1993-2005), have both denied any knowledge of Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct during those years. This would include any sexual harassment settlements made during that time. The Weinstein Company also denies any knowledge. These denials could be tested in a court of law should those alleging harassment and abuse choose to press the issue of corporate liability.

She told a reporter 'we have to look at ourselves' and question how women are presenting themselves and their sexuality

Weinstein’s career of sexual harassment is reprehensible, but many liberals in Hollywood went along to get along in order to gain employment and connections. It’s now too late for them to go into full virtue signaling mode.
