Harvey Weinstein Admits Offering Movie Roles for Sex |
2018-07-15 |
![]() "You were born rich and privileged and you were handsome," Weinstein was quoted saying to Theodoracopulos, who said the embattled producer’s attorney, Ben Brafman, was also present during the interview. " I was born poor, ugly, Jewish and had to fight all my life to get somewhere. You got lotsa girls, no girl looked at me until I made it big in Hollywood." "Yes, I did offer them acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does everyone," Harvey Weinstein said, adding, "But I never, ever forced myself on a single woman." The interview was published just days after the former Weinstein & Co. boss pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault. "Mr. Weinstein maintains that all of these allegations are false and he expects to be fully vindicated," Brafman said in a statement last week. His sit down with Taki was, however, the first on-the-record interview since the New York Times published its bombshell report last October detailing decades of allegations of sexual abuse, harassment, and rape against Weinstein. |

#7 If you see them on screen they got there via working on their backs (or all fours for the men, yes hollywood is very "tolerant"). |

#4 #3 So basically what Harvey is saying is that he was a ..... John ? Posted by: Besoeker 2018-07-15 01:06 I think what Harvey is saying is that he might well name every last one of those ladies who traded favors for parts, knowing full well what they were getting into. #MeToo is going to turn into #TheyHelped.

#2 Let's hope the sex was better than the movies. But I gotta ask, is this a surprise to anyone who didn't just fall off the turnip truck? The casting couch has been a Hollywood meme for as long as there has been Hollywood. |

#1 That partly explains why we get all the crappy, vapid movies that are not entertaining and have little substance. |
