As early as 1998, Gwyneth Paltrow said on Late Show with David Letterman that Weinstein "will coerce you to do a thing or two".[5] In 2005, Courtney Love advised young actresses in an interview, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go."[6] In 2010, an article titled "Harvey's Girls"[7] for Pajiba alluded to Weinstein's "casting couch" reputation: "Every few years, Harvey picks a new girl as his pet".[5] In 2012, a character on the TV series 30 Rock said: "I'm not afraid of anyone in show business, I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions, out of five."[5] At the 85th Academy Awardsceremony in 2013, host Seth MacFarlane joked when announcing the Best Supporting Actress nominees: "Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein."[5] After the allegations were published, director Quentin Tarantino said that he had known about Weinstein harassing actresses for decades, and had confronted him about it.[8]
I always thought Jessica Pare (Megan) to be one of the most obvious cases Weinstein got from what he wanted in exchange for a role. Mad Men was meticously casted with brilliance all over the place except Weinsteins creepy nontalented hag of a son and Pare who couldnt act her way out of a paper bag BUT she has an absolute dream body.
There is just no way Weinstein would have allowed this level of incompetence from one of his lead actors if he did not get any. Including Pare into Mad Men was like throwing a bomb right into the heart of the quality of the show.
Now we know why CM Punk got his main event time slot
