Chapter 1144： Angry crowd (2)

Less than one-third of the news has been read. Old George smashed the milk glass on the table with great outrage, pointing angrily at the newspaper and shouting, "This is a beast, he deserves to be executed, bastard!"

Like a furious hound, he walked around the table a few times before finally calming down.

I couldn't take care of the breakfast that had cooled down, and opened the newspaper to continue reading the article.

"In the course of the investigation, 16 former and current Weinstein Group senior executives and assistants who did not want to be named disclosed to reporters about the forced xing that occurred in the production or distribution of Weinstein's film-related occasions or in the workplace. ~qin and sao~ disturbing events, they have witnessed or heard about it.

The movie-related occasions and work occasions they said sounded formal, but they were actually just a simple excuse Weinstein made for further behavioral contact with young actresses and models.

All 16 people said that Weinstein’s behavior is widely known in Miramax Films and TWC.

TWC executives once sent a message to Emily, one of the women who was harassed by Weinstein, saying: The unfair treatment of women is a problem that TWC has been struggling with in recent years, but we have nothing to do.

Other employees also think that Weinstein’s company is essentially a culture of accomplices, because from the atmosphere of the entire company, many people fully understand Weinstein’s behavior, but they either incited, abetted, or chose to keep one eye open. , Close one eye.

Some employees said that they would also be drawn into Weinstein's tricks, playing a role of making the victim feel safe and removing the psychological defense.

A female company executive revealed the method and process of Weinstein’s assistants and other employees being used as bait. These people will initially attend a meeting or meeting with a woman of interest to Weinstein, but Weinstein will send it away later After leaving these people, he was left alone with this woman.

Almost all of these people who spoke with reporters said that they feared retaliation.

A former employee told reporters: If Weinstein knew who I was, I was worried that he would ruin my life.

Many people revealed that they had seen Weinstein's associates questioning and intimidating those who offended him, and they feared that they would end up in a similar way.

Four actresses, including Mira Sorvino and Rosana Arquette, told reporters that they had either rejected Weinstein’s request or filed a complaint with a company representative. They suspected that Weinstein would They were removed from the project, or they were discouraged from hiring them, and they were blocked.

In addition, multiple sources said that Weinstein often boasted that for those who opposed him, he would discredit him in media reports.

The person who provided the information was also worried about similar retaliation. Several people mentioned the example of model Gutierrez. After she went to the JC Bureau, information about her personal history appeared in New York Gossip Magazine. , And questioned her reputation and credibility.

Several former employees of the Weinstein Company told reporters that the reason they are now telling the alleged behavior of Weinstein is because they think it can protect future women.

Of course, I have to admit that through our efforts, the victims knew that more people would stand up, so they were willing to join in.

An executive who has worked for Weinstein for many years said: His behavior is not a one-off, nor is it within a certain period of time, but a continuous crime against women.

Now that society’s views on xing and power issues have changed, the women interviewed may have only recently felt more and more courageous to talk about their past experiences.

Because before that, public figures including Don Rad, the famous Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, Fox News chairman Roger Alice, and comedy actor Bill Cosby have successively accused and accused of misbehaving. Surfaced.

Before this article was published, the reporter specifically called Harvey Weinstein to ask him what he thought of the matter.

But in the beginning, he unsurprisingly chose to deny it, and even sued the New York Times for defamation.

About this, me! Yodikant said: Welcome your subpoena, our company's legal team is ready to meet.

Perhaps it was our hard-line attitude that made Harvey Weinstein aware of the seriousness of the problem. He began to try to argue, and tried to control the damage to a certain extent by admitting some of the alleged actions. He said on the phone: I realize The way I treated my colleagues in the past caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for this.

I have to deal with my personality, control my temper, and conduct in-depth reflection.

Some of the compliments I have said to others in the past, some people think it is a kind of sao harassment to them, and I will not do it again in the future.

In addition, Weinstein also said: I am willing to establish a foundation for women's rights at the University of Southern California. The foundation will be named after my mother. I will not let her down.

For such obvious whitewashing behavior, the reporter does not know whether the University of Southern California is willing to accept it.

Not long after hanging up, a Weinstein spokesperson strongly requested a statement regarding these allegations The full text is as follows: Mr. Weinstein sternly denies any involuntary xing~sao~interference and qin ~ The allegations of crime, and Mr. Weinstein further confirmed that he has never taken any retaliation against women who refused his request.

For those anonymous allegations, Mr. Weinstein is obviously unable to respond specifically, but as far as the women who publicly publish the allegations are concerned, Mr. Weinstein believes that all these relationships are consensual.

Mr. Weinstein is willing to begin receiving consultations immediately after the report is issued, listening to the opinions of all sectors of society, and seeking a better way to solve the problem.

The above statement represents Harvey Weinstein personally and does not represent the position of this newspaper.

After reading this, Old George took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes vigorously. This was the most angry and unpleasant morning he had spent after retirement. The snow outside the window should be pure and immaculate. Will such a beast contaminate this pure white world?

Old George, who used to work at the University of Southern California, hardly hesitated, took out his mobile phone and operated it slowly, finally found his old friends at the University of Southern California, first reminded them to read today’s New York Times, and strongly expressed his opinion. , If the University of Southern California accepts all undesirable foundation donations, he will stand up and boycott it publicly and be ashamed of being a retired professor of the University of Southern California!
