Sexual scandal again shakes Hollywood, the main accused - American famous producer Harvey Weinstein. Among the exposers is a huge list of the names of actresses and fellow filmmakers. Until recently, Weinstein had an incredible influence in the film world and easily dictated his terms to directors and novice actors, and now he was fired from his own company, his friends are accused of complicity and harassment, he has become a universal outcast. A full-scale war has begun!
The significant silence of Hollywood actresses ...
The other day, Rose McGowan openly expressed her indignation over the hushed up harassment problem in Hollywood, accusing the most famous actresses of concealing the problem. In the list of accused were: Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Keith Blanchett, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Gwyneth Paltrow and many others:
"Ladies, your silence is terrifying!"
The outrage of Rose McGowan is justifiable, because many of this list openly and actively advocate for women's rights, support gender equality, but here they stepped aside from scandalous proceedings and avoided commenting on their friendship with Harvey Weinstein.
Meryl Streep broke the silence
Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep does not hide that she collaborated with the American producer for many years and considers him to be a professional in his business. In some interviews she jokingly allowed a comparison of Weinstein with God, we note that not only she conducted such analogies, but also many journalists!
In yesterday's interview with the tabloid Huffington Post, she decided on an official statement on the case of Harrassment and its chief actor Harvey Weinstein:
"We were all shocked by the shameful news about Harvey Weinstein and numerous cases of sexual harassment of actresses and his colleagues. I admire the courage and courage of women who openly started talking about survivors of violence, they are our heroines. "
"I would like to answer the accusations against some of the actresses, about the conscious silence of the problem:" Not everyone in Hollywood knew about Weinstein's personal life. " But everyone knew how he furiously treated his work. Harvey was a tough and sharp leader, but he always knew the line and conducted with me and my colleagues respectfully and respectfully. I have to admit that I was not aware of his financial arrangements to the actresses, I did not know about the payment for the silence, about the so-called "business" meetings in hotels and other places, about his forced sexual relations. I am sure that if such actions took place, journalists and paparazzi immediately informed this information to the public, and did not remain silent and did not cover the criminal conspiracy.
