Rape, sexual assault and harassment in the entertainment industry

This is the tape from the NYPD that should have put him away . Makes my skin crawl . Flat out desperate to commit another assault . The fucker is unhinged . The implied threats to interfere with her career if she doesn't comply are all too clear .



The NYPD grabbed him immediately after , put the case to the prosecutor . High ups took a week and said no . Powerful friends for sure .

Which is the point of a pay off . It's allowing for pay offs . You don't have to pay someone off for a consensual sexual encounter . A pay off is to make something bad go away . He had to pay miramax a fine every time he raped someone and they sought recompense was the contract . Miramax would pay the legal bills, Harvey would pay the settlement plus a fine to the company . It was a rape contract . Consensual sex doesn't go to court . Companies don't assume a consensual shag ends up in a courtroom .

He hasn't been convicted of anything yet . According to that he's fighting the dismissal .

And he’ll lose. The contract is unenforceable, nowt you’ve said affects that st all.

It is . First, he's not convicted of anything . So officially nothing illegal has occurred . Secondly there's been no arbitration , no leave for appeal . That was all in the contract even if he was found guilty . Hasn't happened .
He has a case thanks to the fact his own company's contract made allowances for him being a serial rapist . His responsibility to the company was to make it go away .

The company will go under long before he has his day in court.

Woah there champ. Illegal things can happen even if no one's convicted for them yet or indeed ever. Most people would say, for example, that the chain of killings attributed to Jack the ripper were against the the law.

Umm ...yeahhh?..but nobody's found legally liable.

The point is nothing has been legally proven against Harvey Weinstein . There aren't even any charges pending . He's regularly paid his victims off...as his contract with miramax obliges him to . It's a rapists contract .


Eta

His contract permits him to pay rape victims off while the company defends him , plus a fine for every victim .

But if he's convicted he can be sacked....after appeal and arbitration .

Yeh. I imagine you've been slaving away learning Yankee contract law all day. Have you read his contract or are you relying as I imagine on hearsay?

His contract covers payoffs, not legal proceedings. He could possibly win a hearing...if he’s found not guilty.

He hasn't even been charged .

It still says an appeal and arbitration must occur first too . Didn't happen . This was his own company remember , who did this after he'd paid something like 8 or so victims off . He had a say in his own contract, it would have been negotiated . Basically he had to reimburse the company for repeatedly defending him against sexual assault allegations that would have went to a criminal court otherwise . 8 times by that stage ...2015 when the new contract was signed .

Repeatedly defending him against things for which he was never arrested or charged? How did the company defend him against what you argue just a couple of posts back doesn't exist?

How do you think pay offs covered by a non disclosure agreement work ? On the back of a fag packet or by lawyers taking adversarial positions until a financial compromise is reached ?

Tell us how that isn't achieved without a lawyer defending him from the allegation ?

A real crying shame all this, for alongside his horrendous behaviour Miramax has produced a fantastic body or work, and HW may have gone on to make dozens more superb films.

But now he'll never work in that town again, which ironically is a threat I'm sure he used to scores of his victims in the past

I've never thought producers made films, that they raised or otherwise supplied the money but didn't bring any great artistic skill to the project like directors, writers or cinematographers do

I'm not sure he had much creative input, beyond putting in a word for (or against) an actress here and there.
 
Weinstein has massive influence over his films. He could choose key cast members (and we all know now how he chose them), he could choose directors, demand changes to the script and would have final cut. Occasionally I think he made some good artistic choices - and there is an ‘art’ to those choices, not in the same league as those of a director, scriptwriter or actor, but they are still vitally important. He made Cinema Paradiso, for instance, a better film, imo. Others he’s overcut and patronised the audience.

He wasn’t just a money man, that’s why he was so powerful.
 
When Weinstein does end up in court, I wonder if Roman Polanski is going to repay the favour and put a good word in for him, like Weinstein did for him in 2009, when he described drugging and raping a 13-year-old as a "so-called crime."
Roman Polanski is a man who cares deeply about his art and its place in this world. What happened to him on his incredible path is filled with tragedy, and most men would have collapsed. Instead, he became a great artist and continues to make great films. I was with him the day he won the Legion of Honour in France, which was a spectacular day. I remember the incredible love and affection that people have for him.

Now Thierry Frémaux, the director of the Cannes film festival, and I are calling on every US filmmaker to lobby against any move to bring Polanski back to the US, where he could face life in jail.

Whatever you think about the so-called crime, Polanski has served his time.

I think producers often have a big influence artistically.....hiring the director and often picking or vetoing the potential actors, writers etc.

Surely there's something in every contract about not bringing the company into disrepute or similar.

There might be - but when you are talking about firms like this where his reputation and its are pretty much the same thing then its hard to see that being a valid route for them to go down. If that TMZ story about his contract is true then its probably impossible.
