If it isn’t obvious by now, anyone and everyone in Hollywood is having their social media and past interviews thoroughly sifted and weighed, and found wanting. It’s obvious to anyone on the outside of the Hollywood bubble just how much rot, corruption, and abuse has been lurking beneath the glittering surface. Harvey Weinstein is human waste.
And he is still delusional enough to think he can get one last indulgence from Hollywood.

Harvey Weinstein, in his first public response since multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct, said “we all make mistakes.”
“Guys, I’m not doing OK, but I’m trying,” Weinstein told reporters on Wednesday as he entered an SUV parked outside his daughter’s Los Angeles home.
“I got to get help,” the former film executive said.
“A second chance, I hope,” Weinstein, 65, added.
For the first time in decades, Hollywood is praying that God exists, because they would love to see a bolt of lightning take out Weinstein and ends this whole sick mess for them.
But in the meantime, the celebrities continue with their mea culpas…

… and their complete and utter tone-deafness.

So, what does Twitter decide to do? Suspend Rose McGowan, who has been very vocal about how Harvey Weinstein raped her.
Was it because she specifically called out Bob Weinstein, brother of Harvey, who is still on the board that just ousted his brother? This post is still up on her Twitter feed.

People on both sides were legitimately shocked.
Hey @Twitter let us know which of these rules @rosemcgowan broke. Asking for multiple victims of sexual violence. https://t.co/eiZjQeMAVg

Of all the voices to silence on twitter, @rosemcgowan is a strange choice. https://t.co/lK89CQbe5z

Twitter: these neo-nazis telling you to get in the oven have not violated our rules.
Also Twitter: Rose McGowan, shut up.

Twitter restored the account access, with this excuse:
“We have been in touch with Ms. McGowan’s team. We want to explain that her account was temporarily locked because one of her Tweets included a private phone number, which violates of our Terms of Service,” a Twitter rep said in a statement. “The Tweet was removed and her account has been unlocked. We will be clearer about these policies and decisions in the future.”
The rep continued, “Twitter is proud to empower and support the voices on our platform, especially those that speak truth to power. We stand with the brave women and men who use Twitter to share their stories, and will work hard every day to improve our processes to protect those voices.”
McGowan has a legitimate point – the board of the soon-to-be-renamed Weinstein Company was writing checks to victims. THEY KNEW.
And to be quite honest, this story could get much bigger than one evil deviant.
I’ve had my ass grabbed by older, powerful men, I’ve had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger…

I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There’s a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome

Hollywood has used and abused women and children nearly since its beginning. If Harvey Weinstein isn’t a fatal blow to the system, the grave being dug by stars who continue to claim ignorance because it didn’t affect them, and offer empty platitudes now, surely should be.
“we all make mistakes”. 5 + 5 = 9 is a mistake. This very, very poor excuse for a male is a serial rapist/harasser of the worst variety. He should be behind bars, not looked up to by nearly half of our so called political leaders! How disgusting is the idea that so many could know so much and say and do nothing is truly abhorrent and should be condemned. It won’t and the dinosaur media will move on and NOTHING will happen.
Romney, everything you just said could easily apply to anthony weiner, bill clinton, and many others… if they’re on the left, the left covers for them until it’s just not possible anymore. They will never call them out just because it’s the right thing to do!
You are correct, Sir!
That video is a heart-breaker! I hope Corey Feldman is able to overcome his truly dreadful upbringing.
