Weinstein: Fall of an Empire

[Revolver]

It's disgusting that so many turned a blind eye or even defended what this disgusting fat ass used to do.

Timberlake went from MMC, to Nsync (under lou Perlman), solo career musically and then magically into solid roles acting.....

he was molested is my pt
Ryan Gosling too went from MMC, to like Breaker High and then Remember the Titans and now he's a huge star.....

This problem is incredibly widespread in both film and music. Here is a crossover story to help illustrate that point. How many remember Lou Pearlman?

Lou Pearlman was the boy band manager for groups like Nsync and Backstreet Boys. He ultimately went to prison for a Ponzi scheme that cost investors 300 million dollars, and he died while in prison but there was always the allegations that he was a . This problem arcs across both film and music and has for a long time. This from ABC News.

Awaiting trial on bank fraud charges and accused of scamming thousands of senior citizens out of millions of dollars, Lou Pearlman, the pop-music impresario who founded the Backstreet Boys, now faces the prospect of life in a big house very different from the 15,000-square-foot mansion he once occupied outside Orlando, Fla.

Just what took place in that house -- complete with movie theater, video games, pool table, swimming pool and a planned bowling alley -- has become the focus of a series of very different allegations by young men who claim Pearlman acted inappropriately, molested them or sought to exchange sex for help with their careers.

In the November issue of Vanity Fair, Pearlman, for the first time publicly, is described by several former singers, aspiring singers and their parents as a lecher, who used the same deceptive charms to cop cheap feels off teenage boys as he did to allegedly bilk 1,400 investors out of more than $300 million.

Pearlman has since denied the allegations from prison.

In the late '90s, just as the Backstreet Boys and 'NSync, Pearlman's biggest boy bands, hit it big in the United States, Pearlman was grooming a stable of youngsters to take their place. After auditioning, these kids, some as young as 13, were relocated to Orlando where they would regularly rehearse and spend their free time at Pearlman's home.

Another group of young men regularly at the house were a staff of personal assistants, some of whom told Vanity Fair they were promised jobs in bands in exchange for providing sexual favors to Pearlman.

Wow, I listened to the entire interview. Thanks for pointing that out Petey, great listen that is on topic. A couple takeaways.

Hollywood and the music industry are filled with weirdo philes and rapists. Its not an occasional outlier, its closer to the norm. Howard Stern is creepy in his own way always concerned with the exact details of sex whether it be how Lou Pearl wanted to grab Rich Cronin's dick or exactly how Jennifer Love Hewitt looked nude, including questions about her shaving habits. And finally, Jennifer Love Hewitt is a man-eater. If what Rich is saying is true then she is a classic man-eater, no remorse, she uses weaponized love/sex.

Glad you dug it. Yeah it's an amazing interview not just because of how raw and honest he is about his crazy life, but also because his story covers the full spectrum, and shows how both genders can be predatory pieces of shit.

There needs to be some kind of line, before you know it prostitutes will be going after people 15 years later and winning.

The line is, don't use your power and status to manipulate people into sex.

If you do, fuck you. Whenever, wherever, with or without lube.

 

[snakedafunky]

The world has really changed if all of a sudden its wrong to sexual harass young actresses as a big shot studio guy.
I mean I always thought the actresses considers that part of working yourself up.

What is the point of being a big shot studio guy if you cant get a bit friendly with your female co workers.
Might as well just get a normal job.
SAD.

Harvey Weinstein had sexual misconduct written into his contract with the company he and his brother starter together. When this all started the board of directors fired Harvey but now the contract is showing that as long as Harvey pays a fine, they can't fire him. The contract says that if Harvey is sued or has sexual misconduct he has to pay $250,000 for first offense, $500,000 for second offense, $750,000 for third offense, and $1,000,000 for fourth offense and every offense thereafter, but they can't fire him for it.

People like him have to convince themselves that Trump is still somehow worse then the constant barrage of sexual predators and literal monsters comming from the political left as of late.

If he allows himself to understand this evil without any deflection, he will be forced to reexamine his ideology as a whole.

Since we all know that leftists always project, and never reflect, I wouldn't hold out any hope.

This is one of the most retarded things I've seen posted here, and that's saying a lot. Ideology doesn't have anything to do with someone being a sexual predator, they come from all different backgrounds, the thing they do have in common is having power to act on it.

Trump is the president, so what he does and say actually has an impact on the common man. Dont know what any of it has to do with Weinstein though.

How did this thread derail to a left or right debate from just a simple story about a power tripping Hollywood scumbag who took advantage of his position?

I am starting to think it's a sickness.

I agree, some of these war room tards are grasping at straws. Pretty sad honestly

Not a sickness. It's become a Religion, with all the accompanying fervor and insanity that goes with it. .

Pay for play

Listening to this now. Just crazy. It was actually funny considering the content of the interview.

For instance, they enter the house, and he says oh there's C-3PO, Darth Vader and then we enter a room where Lou is, and Stern says, yeah Jabba the Hutt.

Also, "you wanna watch Top Gun". Damn, that's gotta be pretty creepy hearing that come out of that fat guy's mouth when you're there alone with him on his couch

And JLH, as he shows up to her place, she was wearing a ballerina outfit, mmmmm! But wow, sounds like she's addicted to sex/men

 

[MusterX]

A good video illustrating the power that Weinstein has.

 

[syct23]

So does this mean Josh Hartnett was the only man in Hollywood not to be touched...?

 

[Ol'Ironhead]

There's no doubt harvey is a creep but God damn these actresses singers etc all sound like he fucking sluts going up to his hotel rooms etc and giving him massages etc. I read what many of the women said, and most of them are all actresses, directors etc..."oh he spread his legs while I was giving him a massage and nudged my head down a bit to imply me to give him oral so I did it anyways just because I was scared of saying no and he is powerful " basically every woman says they went up to his hotel room and a lot of them more than on one occasion even after he was being a creep the first time but they still decide to meet him alone on other occasions Afterwards? It sounds to me they knew what he wanted, and a lot of them were likely willing and we're just skanks. Yes he's a creep I get it, but it seems obvious to me like I said...sluts

Give me a fucking break. Yeah he's creepy but many of these women were just fucking whores at the same time
