Handcuffed Weinstein faces rape charge in #MeToo reckoning

Weinstein is a total scumbag, but this pound me too BS is out of control.

Absolutely agree on both counts. The #metoo crap got outta control minutes after it started and reminds me of the Salem witch hunts.

Especially when there are KNOWN people getting away with it. While peoples lives are being ruined by mere accusations. It's witch-hunting at it's finest.

Yup, I agree. Mostly political theater by those interested in free publicity or other agendas.

Guys a scumbag for sure but he's being used to scapegoat the entire industry. How many decades have actors and actresses ignored his behavior for a paycheck? It's easy to be outraged when it's popular and nets positive headlines.

I totally agree. Now it's 'popular' to speak out, so they do, as much for personal publicity than anything else. But when it really counted, they never said a word.

A lot of this has a 'Salem Witch Hunt' quality to it, too ... but not defending this scumbag ... just others who may be caught up in BS.

I read some story about how Brad Pitt supposedly threatened to kill him if he ever made Gwyneth Paltrow feel uncomfortable again. All I could think was that Brad Pitt is such a huge name that making this guys crimes public and taking him down years ago would have so much put a dent in his armor or career. It's all a culture many big names chose to accept at the cost of lesser known actresses.

Agree. And it's so easy for them to talk big now. Bunch of phonies.
