  1. Why didn't they say anything?  Because they thought they would benefit from the 'occurrence.'   When they did not…..possibly due to insignifigant ability,,,,they were pissed off. Uno…..like it is.

  2. She is now out to get Kevin Spacey YET refuses to answer repeated questions as to why she worked with, and praised, convicted child rapist victor salva. Also she recently admitted to at first trying to get 6 million more outta weinstein to stay quiet before she changed her mind.

  3. We need to shutdown Hollywood completely. All studios must be shutdown. Period! The movie industry in USA needs a fresh start. All the jews must be removed from the industry due to their damaging impact to American society and culture at large.

  4. But she wasn't part of the first wave to come forward. She took $$$ to keep quiet. Then let Harvey continue to abuse women. Seems like McGowan is taking this opportunity to get her name in the news.

  5. 64 thumbs down voters have a guilty conscience, and don't approve of women not being treated as deserving more respect.
    That is a alarming pattern for CBC to interview some sociologists to discuss. Youtube appears to be allowing elements of abuse by not requesting ID to be checked at the door of their venue that would prevent multiple accounts. And there's a probable chance that those 64 thumbs down votes were from just a few people. Youtube makes 1.5 billion, nothing will get down to correct their enabling. Its fraud city, and gOOgle is known for creative offshore banking. Where is the respect to people?

  6. They are all creeping out of the closet and Jumping on the Band Wagon… Late accusations all round – strength in numbers I suppose.

    If only each of them had spoken out earlier – then there would be fewer riding on the wagon.

    He looks quite loathsome to me – but he's not guilty until a court says so – in the mean time we should cut him some slack – I criticise his alleged victims for their prior silence – motivated more by money and potential fame rather than by justice and social responsibility.

  7. Everything seem to point to two scandals in Hollywood: one, men taking advantages of women; two, women selling their bodies to men in power to gain career and financial advantages over other WOMEN.

  8. This is a great message to send young aspiring actresses. If it does happen to you follow Roses steps, take the money stay quiet, keep 'acting'. When your career dries up along with your ovaries, then come forward, sign a book deal. Feel like a revolutionary.

  9. Let me recap:
    1. She was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein in 1997.
    2. Instead of filing a police report, she settled for 100K.
    3. Fast forward 10 years, she talks about it and becomes a woman's right activist? Even write a book titled "Brave"?!?

  10. Yes liers taking advantages of their gender i dont think that women are weak in west .
    So stop talking advantage of being women. A good woman get respact and a every molester stay away from a good woman and ,… that's the fact and quality of a good woman… a good woman is like a lamp that light its surrounding ..
