I remember back in the day wondering why she was not in more movies. I totally understand and agree....that bastard Weinstein ruined her career. She could have been as big as Angelina Jolie.
Stay strong and you deserve to win the lawsuit. This disgusting man abused his power and destroyed your reputation which is everything in this industry.
She came to my school 2 years ago.... and held a presentation she told us about this topic and about him and how no one believes them and how this industry is really like ....... but nobody cared. 😐 most people from school hated her...
I always wondered what happened to Ashley. I would watch movies just because she was in them and thought she was great. I hope she is successful in her lawsuit. It's horrible and significant when your career is spoiled over someone else's power. God bless her. I know this has been very painful for her and she deserves to get the justice due her.
David L. H. Ashley Judd should’ve reported on him 20 years ago but never did because she wanted to keep her career in demand. She took his bribery, to keep things quiet, and let other women gets sexually harassed and assaulted by Weinstein.
She’s so beautiful just finished watching kiss the girl, and realised this was the strong women suing him. I must say these attorneys help normal women identify predators around us.
I completely agree with her. I LOVED every movie she was ever in.. and then wondered WHERE DID ASHLEYJUDD GO? She was SO good in everything she was in.. then just disappeared. She should have been BEYOND a mega star in the movies. GO GET HIS MONEY ! that's the only way they feel the pain. (P.s. realizing she IS NUTS as a person) just act and stay out of the political stuff. )
Pituf Smokes ya know, i didn’t say she wasn’t batshit crazy. I just separate actors from political nonsense - i can’t stand how crazy she is as a person. But i did like her movies. That’s all
Yes, Miss Ashley, yes!!! I still think one of your most powerful gifts has to be your undeniable intelligence, and, of course, your amazingly calm, class
I am from New Zealand. Peter Jackson is one of our people. Weinstein conned Peter into believing that she was a trouble maker. I can imagine as a New Zealander that Peter would have felt disgusted. It is also not typical for New Zealanders to just "disappear", as he did with Ashley. The whole episode is shambolic. Poor Ashley.
Since apparently no one is going to be the voice of reason here… 1. Ashley Judd’s plastic surgery didn’t ruin her career, she was and is beautiful. Did it ever occur to you that its possible the reason she considered plastic surgery in the first place is because of insecurity about the fact that she wasn’t getting roles, when in reality it was due to bullshit that Harvey Weinstein was telling Peter Jackson & god knows who else? 2. No, I’m sure plenty of people DO disapprove of Harvey Weinstein raping, assaulting, and exploiting women. 3. It’s ridiculous to act like “she was okay with all this while she was getting movie roles” when she didn’t know when Harvey Weinstein had told Peter Jackson until 3 months ago; not to mention how that was impacted by anyone Jackson passed that information along to, or others Harvey Weinstein had smeared her to who haven’t come forward or are too embarrassed to admit he influenced their not hiring Judd as an actress? 4. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO SHE IS DONATING ANY MONEY THE COURT AWARDS HER SO CLEARLY SHE DOES NOT JUST WANT MONEY. So anyone saying she had to fuck to get a job, or she just ran out of money, is an idiot. But good to know misogyny is alive and well…
livv521 I totally agree. I'm taken back by all the victim shaming, blaming and slander that comes with finally standing up for oneself. Now they are all out for money?! If there was no sexual assault, harassment or rape that took place their would be no settlements or NDAs and he wouldn't have been arrested.
Pituf Smokes They did. Several of them spoke up and he smeared them and ruined their careers. Listen to what she is saying in this interview. She said she tried telling multiple people in the field and they turned a blind eye. Also, look into the interview with his ex assistant who tried to speak up and was gagged for 20 years with an NDA.
".... in the late 90s" Wait.... Did Ashley suddenly find some evidence that she didn't have in 2000? 2005? 2010? 2015? Or is it because people will now believe anything you say about Harvey even if you have no evidence? Right.
i was wondering that too...like why now? But If I heard the lord of the rings director say what he said, I'd file a lawsuit too. They said she just heard recently in 2017 her role in that movie was cut because of him. So I guess its just defamation of character she can sue for
If Hollywood did not operate this way could the Ashley Judd's of the world get film careers? I mean are we seriously talking about a Meryl Streep or Cate Blanchett here? I am convinced that in a fair and just world where women and men were in films strictly based on talent only about 10% of the people whose names we know would be in the business. The film and television industry is run by people who in reality have nothing but utter contempt for us. They determined a long long time ago that the public will accept and go watch anything they choose to throw at us. That they can take our dollars for granted. That we will accept anyone they decree to be a new star. So why not reserve it only for people who do them favors? if it results in lesser performances and lesser films in general for the public too bad. Their desires are more important.
Great job, dear Ashley!!!It's all about action, action, action!!! You make us proud!!!😊❤💙💜💛💚💗💖💙❤💜💛💚💖💗🌹🌹🌼🌼🌸🌸🌻🌻🍀🍀🌾🌾🌿🌿🌷🌷🌺🌺Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He told Peter Jackson and other directors not to work with her or hire her. That’s come from their mouths since he was exposed. So yea, she has a case and can prove she lost career opportunities and money as a result. Lord of the Rings the fellowship of the ring made 1 billion alone. Wake up.
Bobby Blair she directly and factually lost a role in Lord of the rings. The director has come out stating he specifically did not hire her based on Harvey Weinsteins statements.
Yes, you can. If you are shortlisted but then refused, or even not considered for a position your profile is suitable for because you refused sexual advances, that is classical quid-pro-quo sexual harassment and discrimination on the job. it's illegal, fyi.
Very easy to evaluate what was paid to the two actors that got the acting jobs that she was going for. And all that has to be done is to subpoena the director that claimed Harvey called him and told him not to hire her.
She only had a career because she sucked it. That was literally her job. These women act like they don't have to suck it for every movie. Yes. Yes you do. You want a role, you suck for that role. You are not automatically hired for every role after touching it once. Ask Rose McGowan.
She's so out spoken on everything, why didn't she speak up and not wait until other were brave enough to come up first.... people would have taken notice back then. .
So do the trolls that torture the other women concerned, like Rose McGowan with their judgment "they should have said no" or "fought harder", have anything negative to say about Ms Judd as well? I'd always wondered where this rising star of the mid to late 90s went. Had assumed she'd quit acting. How sad to know that many of the ones that disappear along the way might have been blacklisted because they refused sexual advances.
1st amendment trumps defamation. Unconstitutional laws aren't laws and anyone who tries to enforce them is committing a felony. Also how did she acquire his comments to Peter Jackson without violating his privacy? Was it done illegally?
Ashely... You know what Cha gotta do to get in on the top scripts????? Go do your rituals!!! Stop putting them off!!! There's no take backs in Hellywood!!!!
I’m so proud of you, Ashley, for facing head-on such an aberrant, criminal, serial sexual assault bull-elephant-charging, NO-conscience-animal predator that should have been put down decades ago by armies of the global SWAT Teams who Taser’d him to death to protect the entire world from his abject evil.
i wound said i lost my dignity my character as a credible person but she lost , power, money and that superficial stuff seems a little fishy now if she win and gives all to charity them is a different history ;)
Nope. She fell off the face of the earth. I always wonder why... now I know. A dirtball like Weinstein who smiles and smirks while he's arraigned. Hope he likes nonconsensual butt sex.
drewzifer That is mean. I am not saying that the surgery was a great choice but she is talented and charismatic with a Harvard education; her looks are not her leading characteristic.
I agree she has all the great attributes you mention, but she chose to have surgery, which should tell you she understood that her face was her fortune, not her education, talents or charisma. Her decision speaks for itself and so does the result.
I actually don't trust Ashley anymore, if Weinstein did this and that is proven than i pity her and hope it goes better but with what she did to the gaming community i am not on her side nor weinstein's.
What happened to Ashley was:awful. And yet i dont know that she is the best representative here. I dont really trust that she is doing this for others. Not sure why.
And Mr Weinstein use to visit the south of France ! this is what I don't understand this akin to car thief seeing a Bugatti open with the keys in it and proceeds to stealing a minivan.
wow she lost her looks and her sanity- blaming her career on an advancement which she refused is like blaming your parents for not being rich- THis woman is a washed up has been. her ultimate punishment was getting older in Hollywood where it is not accepted
king... I agree 100% she is grandstanding after her rant on TRUMP.. she had to do this. The right thing would have been her doing this when it happened.
I’ve lost ALL respect for her as a woman I find it disgusting that you make your money, pose happily in your pictures and don’t say anything for years. For fucking years!! And you got off easy! How many woman could she have saved that were treated much more horribly than her. She’s a real nut job. Look “I was on such a role.” She should donate the money to a charity.
If there's any money leftover, she should sue her plastic surgeon next. Jeezus fucking CHRIST! She was beautiful and showed no signs of aging badly. Wtf happened?
