Years ago, I tried to report an attempted sexual assault by my then boss and was told that my career (at the time I was a secretary) in Hollywood would be ruined if I did so I'd "better keep quiet."
Look at how many people were and are threatened to keep quiet with Trump. He's the big white whale that no one can capture. It's to the point he's bragging that he can get away with it.
Silence happens on a smaller more common scale as well. My uncle’s neighbor molested his children and my aunt would tell the other mothers when the neighbor was around to watch their children. But no one called the authorities. The wife of the neighbor should have spoken out too but she didn’t either willful ignorance or plain ignorance. I pray it ends at all scales, 100s or just one.
@Bela D From the stories I heard the victims tell, it wasn’t quid pro quo, it was a traumatic consequence of the career opportunity they choose. They didn’t enter into the career opportunity knowing the sexual assault, etc. was a consequence. They didn’t consent.
@Bela D People see others stories and process through there own life experiences. Perhaps you can’t believe their stories because of your own life experiences. Praying for you. 🙏
It is time to hold the entertainment industry as a whole, which means not limited to movies/tv but also music etc, to the same criminal and civil prosecution the Catholic Church has faced. There is literally no difference. This has been going on since the industry began and is going on even right now. Individuals and corporations together are responsible including law firms that aided and abetted these crimes.
I am sorry but I think the catholic Church has barely been held accountable for the years of sexual abuse they covered up, and thereby tolerated by moving pedophiles from parish to parish. I think all groups and persons need to be prosecuted at a high level until it becomes clear that sexual advances made from a unequal power structure are morally reprehensible. There is no excuse for rape or pedophilia
@@ARTPAINTING101 The entertainment industry gave the best picture award to the movie ‘Spotlight’ and in the acceptance speech for receiving the award talked about needing to bring justice to sex abuse of minors by the Catholic Church. This industry can literally state the rightful importance of prosecuting these egregious crimes while at the same time they are actively engaging in the same crimes. The abuses, exploitation and crimes committed by Bryan Singer and his ilk is in no way less worse than Weinstein nor the Catholic Church. Considering it was minors some would argue it is worse. It’s time the entertainment industry face at minimum the same criminal and civil prosecution. Politicians should also face the same justice considering Jeffrey Epstein. If government prosecutors prosecuted defrocked priests and clergy faced civil lawsuits, then so can actors, politicians etc. But considering not one abuser in the Maxwell case has actually been named, it’s extremely doubtful. The original argument wasn’t arguing that the Catholic Church was appropriately ‘held accountable’.
Cannot agree more with you. Hollywood is a hypocrite industry wherein self-interests, capitalism, among other issues are de rigoeur. Despite the proliferation of #MeToo movement and other trendy value-laden (eventually self-serving) advocacy (BLM, ALM, etc.), in the end money comes first, and values (if ever the business moguls think about it when thinking about the next project or "cultural product") are relegated to the minimum. Interestingly, "cancel culture" is a trend that is amplified by hypocrites.
I don't know how other people think but I think it's a red flag waving in your face to run and not look back if people warn you not to sit on a couch or be in the same room as the guy or wear extra clothes? Come on people why would anyone work with him? I wish someone would have waved a red flag in my face, it would have saved me a lot of pain and mental anguish. I've had lots of money and I've had no money and I would take the no money and have peace of mind rather than have money with all the crap that goes a long with working with or near that guy. It makes me wonder what goes through a person's or a company's mind when they see his behavior and choose to work with him anyway?
Probably because of the fact that some of these people knew that putting up with it was still worth the money they were making or would be making simply because they had worked for him or with him ...as compared to going through the same sexual harassment working at a place where they made almost no money ... ... sounds crazy but I could see some rationalizing it ... yes it's great if a person could work at a place where they don't have to deal with sexual harassment and if they especially can make a decent income .
I love the part @1:53 where Lesley glorifies this perv as if he directed these movies. No honey, he produced them. All that means is he wrote a check to get the movie made. Probably the same check book he used to get the intern at Miramax to blow him.
You sound very uneducated on how to produce a successful film like he did. He has extreme care and sensitivity not just in his heart but in the work. The producer also Picks the Director and he was a creative producer, meaning he had final cut and would make sure the movies were made to his liking.
this man came out of the womb demented and damaged. His first abuse of a woman was as a teenager. It never stopped after that. The fact that he is going to rot in jail will not help all the women he treated with hatred and spite.
When I first started hearing all these things about Harvey Weinstein it made me so sad and sick because I liked him so much and as a woman hearing these things broke my heart . I'll never understand men who can't treat other women like the way they would want the world to treat their own mothers , wives , girlfriends and daughters .
I don’t believe he raped anyone. Every man was acting in appropriately to women. And women to men. It was very normal Until recently. So no, he’s more a product of his environment. He’s not a criminal. So you don’t have to follow in line with the opportunists making bank on his fall from grace. It’s very clear how much this is about money and nothing more.
@@alessandrawilliamsnyc I vehemently disagree. I only lived in LA for a short time but the stories of Harvey were very common. Any man who uses his position of power to assault women is a sex offender. End of.
Former TV star Gary Conway's mother was my 5th grade teacher near the studios, and she warned us about these casting couch guys. She refused to be silent about that with her own kids and grandkids. She refused to be silent about abuse with her students. She spoke up and I am glad about her having done so, as well. It probably saved me from abuse, as a child there. She also said, "Will Rogers never met Hitler either." She was his age. She knew their tricks. She'd teach them to you if you listened when she spoke. These women spoke. Earth learned.
Don't get it twisted. Harvey Weinstein was not a film maker. The writers and directors are the film makers. Harvey was great at choosing great scripts and putting people together to makes great films.
@@alessandrawilliamsnyc He is a producer. He hires the writers, directors, editors, actors, lower level producers, and other people behind the camera who do the actual work of making the film. He is also an executive producer who finances the production of the films.

Over 250 men were publicly accused of misconduct. Only one is in jail. This is not justice it’s about brainwashing. Taking one man’s rights away as a human. Getting everyone to accept it by making him look like he deserves it. Once we all agree the amendments can be changed according to who you are, which just happened, is the beginning of the end of freedom in America. Shortly after, abortion rights are overruled.

I had Harvey was brash and there were a lot of rumors over Hollywood about how awful he was to work with. Never heard the rapist accusation until everything broke but I wasn’t an exec. Not surprising though
I worked in the biggest Law Firm in Hollywood for over 2 years in the middle of this hole scene. When I had an attorney who was on the entertainment floors in a big entertainment attorney works for the biggest record companies I mean they had the biggest people from Mick Jagger you name it even Ted Kennedy was one of their clients every actor you name Warren Beatty Jack Nicholson it was I won't name them but they were the one of the two largest in Hollywood. I had to sit on I was a floater I was a paralegal in a floater and I worked everywhere in that firm. I picked up the phone and I was covering 9th floor reception so the woman who was the receptionist there could go to lunch I pick up the phone and I hear a familiar voice which is one of the attorneys I knew in entertainment and he liked me and I and he said where the f*** is Friedman and I said this is I knew who it was and I said milk this is freaking and we're on the 9th floor and we don't swear on the 9th floor and I hung up on them nice what was corporate and they didn't swear. A few minutes later the elevator door opens up and it's melt and he's laughing he thought that was the funniest thing you'd ever heard and he just came up and went into the office of the other attorney didn't call back you just came up they were all swearing where the f*** is my secretary I mean I don't even want to repeat what they would say but they were all swearing they were all abusing it was the culture and it's years and years later and they decided to cut the head off of the snake the one thing about Harvey is that I would have been intimidated if I were an actress that I would never work again that he would mess with me if I didn't go along there are many men who weren't as powerful and they just did it too it was insane
I really have no empathy for Weinstein’s assistant. She could have reported Weinstein’s behavior to the police, she could have resigned her position at Miramax. She could have immediately retained an excellent lawyer (female or male) for workplace sexual harassment. I don’t believe she did any of that. Perhaps it was the money that kept her there? Whatever it was, she is certainly no victim and, in fact, her inaction enabled Weinstein to continue his vile behavior towards others in the workplace. She needs to look at her part in that equation. A betrayer of women and particularly those she could have supported in the office by reporting him.
@Fitzhugh: You are entitled to your point of view and it will continue to excuse and perpetuate women not supporting other women with sexual assault or rape allegations.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW : And aren’t you the male arbiter of women’s workplace sexual harassment in the year 2022. Perhaps you are living in 1962 but women are far beyond that arcane, narrow minded perspective. You are to be pitied more than scorned. Go eat your slaw!
I don't believe she's telling the truth, Harvey denied. No, she didn't go to the police, but she and her colleague found a lawyer - I read that she was a part-time law student at the time, so she knew what she was doing.... OF COURSE, the lawyer advised to ask for ''compensation'''... Harvey was married so he had no choice, even if relationship was consensual, he had to settle.... After 2017, when accusers were trying to negotiate the 'class action' settlement, the lawyer for her and her colleague wrote something suggesting that both of them were not sufficiently compensated back in the 90s... she and her colleague each got 125,000 GBP back in the 90s ... so looks like she wanted more money
Harvey started in Buffalo as Harvey and Corky, producing concerts and Friday night movies at their old theater the Century Theater. I was at his first concert production, The Rolling Stones around 1974.
It was like a ‘DISEASE’ for him. He should have been treated by his Dr.; Plus a moral problem, big need for a psychiatrist. His discernment was completely off. Driven by his Huge Ego
Imagine going from the most dream life you could imagine to living in a cement hole. I’m sure he has remorse for letting everyone take advantage of his generosity and for his obvious charming nature which made all Of those women chase him Down. This whole thing is such a mess.
I really don't blame the Damons and Afflecks and people working around him for not reporting anything. They were probably too busy focusing on their careers to play HR manager to a producer's shadow habits.
Yes, but... At some point, when you really, actually, honestly *know* something is wrong/illegal, it is our duty as human beings to stand up and do the right thing. In my military career, if I knew of something wrong and failed to act, I was as culpable as the offender due to my inaction. And I don't see that as a bad thing.
People who are capable of doing what he did are not capable of remorse. Remorse requires a level of empathy he doesn’t have. Period. It’s a game of control he’ll never win because the lack of control is within himself.
You want to exile this pervert yet you still want to talk about him. This guy is writing a book about him. All you’re doing is keeping this pervert in the spotlight.
To stay in a job w a psycho-monster like HW, also says loads about the person receiving, witnessing, condoning, not reporting the abuse. There are other jobs. Why is anyone ever afraid of someone w a bit of power? Never ever hesitate. REPORT THEM. There ARE OTHER JOBS!
I am sure there were many women over the years who willingly slept with not only him but many others in high positions to get somewhere in the movie industry. Now I wonder if they have spoken up as victims as well or have remained silent?
Narcissist's become this way from childhood neglect from their mother's. They secretly hate their mother's and because of that they abuse women by proxy.
Don't know if it's true, but someone who works in "the industry" told that the big shots in the entertainment industry are on the alert to keep even a whisper of a scandal going public. They take measures, to keep even the tiniest bit, of so much as a thought of there being any kind of impropriety. He told for one thing, they have a straight male for a secretary instead of a female. They let it be known that they are not to be left alone with an actress or a female worker of any kind and put the word out to their subordinates that it's a "hands off" policy or else.

Miramax did. I won't debate how hands-on or what the production breakdown was.. but "Like Water for Chocolate" and "Cinema Paradiso" were both early foreign films brought into the mainstream by Miramax. These were movies that I loved but hearing Salma Hayek's experience as she tried to bring Frida to the screen was heartbreaking.
awful man but surely we understand that there are / or can be so many facets to the individual personality and sometimes some of these veer into the abyss
He was at the pinnacle of showbiznezz. On top of the world. In his mind he could create and have anything he wanted. He was on a major power trip. Being large and in charge, literally. And that bled into all areas of his life. Talk about a false sense of entitlement, to feel that you can just take what you want, and that people won't stop you because you have the power. Well, look at him now, all frail and beaten down. My how the mighty have fallen. If only that would happen with the past president. They have similar personality traits. Jail the criminals.

None of this is true. I worked for Harvey for 6 months from March-August of 1999, and never heard one complaint. I've heard stories, but never saw anything happen. Just bitter people making up stories.
Guess you're one of his enabler, or one of those who turned blind eye. Or Made you were lucky not to have seen, or not to have noticed; any of his obnoxious, behaviours towards women. Guess you are in the same category as; some ex-staff, or close associate, or even bodyguards, of black rapper musician R Kelly who are still defending him, claiming they never saw, him behave indecent towards any woman.
@@bvl98 how could I have been an "enabler" or "turn a blind eye" when I never saw anything, and there was never a complaint filed during my time there? Also, I do not know R. Kelly.

But I've never met him to know anything of what he's been accused of. However, a lot of women in the front row were literally throwing themselves at him.

A few minutes later the elevator door opens up and it's melt and he's laughing he thought that was the funniest thing you'd ever heard and he just came up and went into the office of the other attorney didn't call back you just came up they were all swearing where the f*** is my secretary I mean I don't even want to repeat what they would say but they were all swearing they were all abusing it was the culture and it's years and years later and they decided to cut the head off of the snake the one thing about Harvey is that I would have been intimidated if I were an actress that I would never work again that he would mess with me if I didn't go along there are many men who weren't as powerful and they just did it too it was insane
He's far from the only evil thing in Hollywood .
It is true Harvey had the talent to put out some really good movies the best he kept Hollywood on its toes now It's a total ghost town of garbage
Of course people in the company knew
I really have no empathy for Weinstein’s assistant. She could have reported Weinstein’s behavior to the police, she could have resigned her position at Miramax. She could have immediately retained an excellent lawyer (female or male) for workplace sexual harassment. I don’t believe she did any of that. Perhaps it was the money that kept her there? Whatever it was, she is certainly no victim and, in fact, her inaction enabled Weinstein to continue his vile behavior towards others in the workplace. She needs to look at her part in that equation. A betrayer of women and particularly those she could have supported in the office by reporting him.
It depends how much money he was paying her. Beats flipping burgers at McDonald's.
She’s a victim
@Fitzhugh:
You are entitled to your point of view and it will continue to excuse and perpetuate women not supporting other women with sexual assault or rape allegations.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW : And aren’t you the male arbiter of women’s workplace sexual harassment in the year 2022. Perhaps you are living in 1962 but women are far beyond that arcane, narrow minded perspective. You are to be pitied more than scorned. Go eat your slaw!
I don't believe she's telling the truth, Harvey denied. No, she didn't go to the police, but she and her colleague found a lawyer - I read that she was a part-time law student at the time, so she knew what she was doing.... OF COURSE, the lawyer advised to ask for ''compensation'''... Harvey was married so he had no choice, even if relationship was consensual, he had to settle.... After 2017, when accusers were trying to negotiate the 'class action' settlement, the lawyer for her and her colleague wrote something suggesting that both of them were not sufficiently compensated back in the 90s... she and her colleague each got 125,000 GBP back in the 90s ... so looks like she wanted more money
Harvey started in Buffalo as Harvey and Corky, producing concerts and Friday night movies at their old theater the Century Theater. I was at his first concert production, The Rolling Stones around 1974.
Was Mick Taylor still with them? He quit sometime in 74.
@@lewstone5430 it was the tour with the 20 foot tall blown up condom on stage. That’s what I remember.

It was like a ‘DISEASE’ for him. He should have been treated by his Dr.; Plus a moral problem, big need for a psychiatrist. His discernment was completely off. Driven by his Huge Ego
Sounds like y you're describing Trump as well.
I highly doubt Harvey Weinstein has any remorse for what he's done
As in the case with most criminals, they're only really sorry that they were caught. All of that money and he sits in a jail cell.
Imagine going from the most dream life you could imagine to living in a cement hole. I’m sure he has remorse for letting everyone take advantage of his generosity and for his obvious charming nature which made all
Of those women chase him

@L G are you in the hearts and minds of criminals?? No you’re not. This is something like the third dumb comment you’ve posted today.
@@alessandrawilliamsnyc How Faustian.
Leslie Stahl's gleeful grinning in this interview is creepy. Is she a misogynist and/or totally heartless or just tone deaf?
This tired 80yo reporter will do anything for possible ratings.
Lesley Stahl is a lousy interviewer. always has been. she got it from Mike Wallace. it's about THEM not the story. enough!
I disagree. I think she gives great interviews.
I really don't blame the Damons and Afflecks and people working around him for not reporting anything. They were probably too busy focusing on their careers to play HR manager to a producer's shadow habits.
Yes, but... At some point, when you really, actually, honestly *know* something is wrong/illegal, it is our duty as human beings to stand up and do the right thing. In my military career, if I knew of something wrong and failed to act, I was as culpable as the offender due to my inaction. And I don't see that as a bad thing.
Love Good Will Hunting but always felt that Damon and Affleck were creeps and know I know why
I blame them. Think if it was your sister or friend he was abusing and they knew and didn’t report it. They were selfish and cowardly not to.
@@NicoleAZ145 too busy boozing and shmoozing
I read Auletta's book, I highly recommend for this topic.
Not one of Leslie's better interviews.
No mention of Ronan Farrow? I believe HE broke the story. not this putz.
Ronan has a name, that’s why you know him.
Over 100 victims? Why didn't he get life??? Cover up again cause of money...wth!!😥
100 people came forward with accusations but only a dozen are actually being prosecuted.
People who are capable of doing what he did are not capable of remorse. Remorse requires a level of empathy he doesn’t have. Period. It’s a game of control he’ll never win because the lack of control is within himself.
You want to exile this pervert yet you still want to talk about him. This guy is writing a book about him. All you’re doing is keeping this pervert in the spotlight.
I look at it more like exposing evil.
@@gregorypeterson9 he’s already been exposed in every which way possible.
@@jayg5391 He has another court date , more will be exposed.
He looks great behind bars 🦦

I always enjoy Ken Auletta's reporting....he wrote about the Theranos scamster, ELIZABETH HOLMES
Thanks for commenting!! Send a message here for an alternative advice.👆
To stay in a job w a psycho-monster like HW, also says loads about the person receiving, witnessing, condoning, not reporting the abuse. There are other jobs. Why is anyone ever afraid of someone w a bit of power? Never ever hesitate. REPORT THEM. There ARE OTHER JOBS!
- all the same, don't shame or blame the victim. Never do that.
I am sure there were many women over the years who willingly slept with not only him but many others in high positions to get somewhere in the movie industry. Now I wonder if they have spoken up as victims as well or have remained silent?
I highly doubt Harvey is eating baked beans in prison 😒🥺
Well we know he's probably eating his heart out now that he's lost his freedom
Sausage, pepino ,geoduck clam and some venudo and camote.
Narcissist's become this way from childhood neglect from their mother's. They secretly hate their mother's and because of that they abuse women by proxy.
You really love using apostrophes don't you?!
Don't know if it's true, but someone who works in "the industry" told that the big shots in the entertainment industry are on the alert to keep even a whisper of a scandal going public.
They take measures, to keep even the tiniest bit, of so much as a thought of there being any kind of impropriety.
He told for one thing, they have a straight male for a secretary instead of a female.
They let it be known that they are not to be left alone with an actress or a female worker of any kind and put the word out to their subordinates that it's a "hands off" policy or else.
I think I’m just kind of over hearing about him. Trying to dig into the psyche of a monster doesn’t help the victims
The bigger they are the harder they fall. Poor Harvey.
He was the fall guy other directors have done way worse
What some people do for money. They will turn and look the other way at someone who they know is a Predator they are as guilty as the Predator.
So... why is Leslie acting surprised about it all???
He is absolutely VILE. "Enabled, complicit" - his friends can deal with their own roles internally.
Everyone is getting rich and/or famous so they turn a blind eye....so just as guilty?
What's sad is that we're more fascinated by the scandal than we are disgusted.
Great videos and thank you. 💕
People will not tolerate greed forever!
Get ready to stand long line, when the bank runs start here. ATMs empty, and cash at the store etc.

Where’s Georgina Chapman thru all this? And his daughters with her?
She divorced him swiftly after the case came out and took the children with her.
Not exactly how it happened. She actually stayed with Harvey in private but publicly left to save her company from going bankrupt. Because he wanted her to make sure she saved herself.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
“ He couldn’t get the woman to talk”. Over 117 women told their story”.
I believe he was referring to his attempt to disclose the abuse in 02...way before #Metoo.
Story of Harvey is so easy for him !!! What he did is terrible. What's wrong with Lesley ?
Women should start helping women...aka Ghislane Maxwell who sent numerous girls and women to Epstein for ...no doubt money and a lifestyle. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
i am his age and ride a mountain bike on trails , how is he still alive.
He uses a walker in order to be mobile.
He hurt a lot of women. He thinks he is innocent. I don't know if I ever watched any movies he helped with. He will spend rest of his life in prison.
23 years for his actions are way too harsh of a punishment. Hollywood has gone too woke.
Harvey Weinstein had nothing to do with producing Like Water For Chocolate or Enchanted April.
The reporting on all
Of this has been very sloppy. Nothing Ken said had any truth.
Miramax did. I won't debate how hands-on or what the production breakdown was.. but "Like Water for Chocolate" and "Cinema Paradiso" were both early foreign films brought into the mainstream by Miramax.
These were movies that I loved but hearing Salma Hayek's experience as she tried to bring Frida to the screen was heartbreaking.
@@IntriguedLioness No, Miramax did not produce LWFC or Enchanted April.
awful man but surely we understand that there are / or can be so many facets to the individual personality and sometimes some of these veer into the abyss
Will Miramax produce the Harvey Weinstein biopic? Will Kevin Spacey play him?
He's certainly not "sexy" now. Yuck 🤮
He looks like Shrek.
He was at the pinnacle of showbiznezz. On top of the world. In his mind he could create and have anything he wanted. He was on a major power trip. Being large and in charge, literally. And that bled into all areas of his life. Talk about a false sense of entitlement, to feel that you can just take what you want, and that people won't stop you because you have the power. Well, look at him now, all frail and beaten down. My how the mighty have fallen. If only that would happen with the past president. They have similar personality traits. Jail the criminals.
When is a journalist going to talk about Jennifer Lawrence’s career? Four Oscar nominations and one win. Given everything we know now, we have to ask ourselves... How did that happen? 🤔

Be sure ur sins will find you out
None of this is true. I worked for Harvey for 6 months from March-August of 1999, and never heard one complaint. I've heard stories, but never saw anything happen. Just bitter people making up stories.
Guess you're one of his enabler, or one of those who turned blind eye.
Or
Made you were lucky not to have seen, or not to have noticed; any of his obnoxious, behaviours towards women.
Guess you are in the same category as; some ex-staff, or close associate, or even bodyguards, of black rapper musician R Kelly who are still defending him, claiming they never saw, him behave indecent towards any woman.
Agreed!!! It’s sick - Harvey should not be in jail. I know this
@@bvl98 how could I have been an "enabler" or "turn a blind eye" when I never saw anything, and there was never a complaint filed during my time there?
Also, I do not know R. Kelly. Obviously I'm very familiar with his music. The closest I've ever gotten to R. Kelly was I was in the audience at a concert, he was in the lineup of. And I was quite far back. But I've never met him to know anything of what he's been accused of. However, a lot of women in the front row were literally throwing themselves at him. I don't know the ages of these females, but they were certainly younger than me.
@@alessandrawilliamsnyc knowing that your RUclips account is only 30 minutes old it appears that you simply came here to spout your biased opinion against women who come forward. I feel sorry for you.
I was there and also worked for TWC. Nobody ever complained about Harvey. Rather quite the opposite. Everyone was so so happy to work for him and be with the best. There were many women vying for his attention.
