Harvey Weinstein

Recommended Posts

He could be sentenced from 5 to 25 years. Five years is far to short a sentence for rape. I hope he gets the maximum. He is also facing charges in L.A. County as well. Hopefully he'll be convicted there too and serve out his sentences consecutively.

25 years is arguably too short a sentence for his crimes.  That said, I am thankful that he got anything at all given the very real possibility of a mistrial if the leaks of the questions the jury were asking are to be believed.

I'm not holding my breath that the L.A. County charges will tack too much more on to his overall sentence if he's also convicted there.  I can't imagine that there's too much incentive for any additional sentence to run concurrently, but the disconnect between time sentenced and time served in that jurisdiction is pretty great.

Still, a good day.

I’m not at all confident that it will stand up to appeal, but I can only hope he enjoys his time in jail until then. And give me a break with the being hospitalized. He’s experiencing extreme stress after the conviction??? ugh. So gross watching the entitlement.

Kate Beckinsale posted to Instagram following his sentencing. I can't figure out how to embed the post but here is a link, with the caption pasted below:

 

 

These photos were taken at the premiere of Serendipity on October 5,2001. We all refused to go because holding a premiere mere weeks after 9/11 with the city still smoking felt like the most insensitive, tone deaf,disrespectful idea possible .But Harvey insisted. We flew into New York and somehow got through it. The next morning Harvey called me and asked if I would like to bring my less than two year old daughter to his house for a playdate with his similar aged daughter I said ok. I turned up and he immediately called for his nanny to take the babies to another room to play. I went to go with them and he said “No, you wait here .” The minute the door closed he started screaming “you stupid fucking CUNT, you CUNT you ruined my premiere .” I had no idea what he was talking about and started to shake.He said,”If I am throwing a red carpet you get in a tight dress, you shake your ass you shake your tits you do not go down it looking like a fucking lesbian you stupid fucking cunt .” The shock made me burst into tears.I tried to say “Harvey,the city is on fire, people are still looking for their relatives none of us even felt the premiere was appropriate much less coming out dressed like it’s a bachelor party .” He said,”I don’t care -it’s my fucking premiere and if I want pussy on the red carpet that’s what I get”.Screaming. Livid. I managed to get myself and my child out of there and yes that was one of many experiences I had that there was no recourse for,and falls under no felony.But I WAS punished for it, and for other instances where I said no to him for years,insidiously and seeming irreversibly. Hearing that he has gone to prison for 23 years is a huge relief to me on behalf of all the women he sexually assaulted or raped, and I hope will be a deterrent to that sort of behavior in this and any other industry. Having said that,the crimes that are not crimes,the inhumane bullying and sick covert abuse for which there is STILL no recourse no matter who you tell(and I did tell),these too need to go.I hope and pray that we as an industry can start to actually outlaw all abuses of power and expose them and eliminate them, for all genders,forever.And Rose,brava ❤

I share your moral dilemma, Hoya, but since my mother is always disappointed in me for something anyway I will be happy to do an extra jig on your behalf....
