The actress and activist alleges that Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed her in a hotel room in the late '90s, and hopes sharing her story helps others.
The worst part is this shit is happening to children. We have only scratched the surface of Hollywood's depravity. These monsters need to be exposed, expelled, and prosecuted no matter to cost.
Especially if the time frame helps a bunch of money grubbing,self centered,Hollywood whores,who could have given a shit about the other people he victimized!!!
Everyone is giving her shit for not speaking out sooner and that she just wanted to get back into the spotlight, but it’s people like them that are the reason why she didn’t! People are so ignorant 🙄
Annie Faucher Whatever!!! She speaks out 20 years later because she wanted to get money first. She's no victim. She would have not spoken out if the first accuser had not spoken.
a) she's lying b) she's looking for attention c) she knew what she got into d) why did she only come out now e) she cannot condemn sexual predatory Yeah... why not protect the abuser a bit more and the same people don't understand why it takes people years to come out about it.
I cannot get over the abundance of misogynist comments here, from men attempting to shame the victims. They hate her and any woman that finds the strength and her voice and FINALLY speaks out.
DARKKISS People keep spewing that constantly! They are coming forward now..... we'll let me tell you this!!!!! You have no clue OBVIOUSLY HOW POWERFUL THIS MAN WAS!! You see what happens everyday to women and I'll say men as well because I know that happens every single day to them as well.... they are scrutinized, ruined, made out to be crazy and whatever career they may still have left if any is null and void!! They are made out to be difficult to work with, basically have nothing left that they have worked so hard for.... I'm glad this has happened!!! It's given them all a platform now to stand up together and say basically NO MORE!!! This has to stop!!!! Some are coming out because now they feel safe to come out really!!!! I totally get it!!! Actors and actresses dream of being that most of there life!!!! It could have been easily taken away with a snap of a finger because he was a top dog!!!! Good god almighty do you not GET THAT!!!!!
Jlo C Oh please! Ashley Judd and all those other women coming out now should just shut the hell up about their sad soppy story! They did this for fame and money and are an embarrassment to women in general! She stood up at the women's march against Trump with that stupid speech, but kept quiet about this! Not coming out in case nobody will believe her is an excuse! Why didn't she help Corey Feldman when he came out about this? He was brave enough to come out about what was happening in hollywood, but it seems nobody in hollywood wanted to help him! His story was so sad as I remember watching him and Corey Haim when I was a teenager. I thought they were so cool back then and I'm sure a lot of us did. So sad to find out what they were actually going through! All those pedophiles will burn in hell! She talks about God, but God would've wanted her to help those poor children and women! She won't get any sympathy from us women 😡😡😡
So sad. Would have loved to see her in more movies and now I know why we didn't. She was probably blacklisted because she said no. She's brave, thank you for doing your best to raise awareness then and now even though it's not your responsibility as a victim. I'm sure the years after the assault were torture. Hope you're able to find peace now that he will rot in jail for the rest of his life.
This woman is so messed up, she acted like a fool, accusing President Trump with all kinds of lies & just pretty much was disgusting with her own language in public speech regarding President Trump, and Now .... What??? she kept quiet about this!!! Are you kidding me???
OK. We girls who worked in Hollywood who went on casting calls know exactly what's going on don't pretend that there isn't a pit pro quo. You know what you're getting into 100% the fact they cry about it later is just disgusting.
People always want to judge and make it sound like these women traded themselves for their careers. I highly doubt that over 60 women all made the conscious decision to trade their bodies in order to be successful. You just don't understand what it's like to be in that kind of situation until it happens to you God forbid. Why do people judge instead of holding the person who did these things responsible. Nobody should ever be able to put you in the type of position and intimidate you so much that you're scared to come forward. Why is nobody ever outraged about that?
Funny they all come forward now after all the work the got out of him and oscars they won, i dont believe in shaming victims but this is ridiculous she knew what she was getting into when she went to his hotel room
“I don’t believe in shaming victims, but,” is typically what someone says right before they shame a victim LOL. Your point contradicts itself. Harvey conducted meetings in his hotel SUITE, all day everyday, with men and women. She and all the women that went up there thought they were going up there for business. But that doesn’t matter. Even if she went up there for anything else, that doesn’t give him permission to rape her. The only one to blame for her assault is him. Doesn’t matter if she went into his hotel room or not, that doesn’t give him permission to rape her. How sad you don’t support women, when ur a woman! Do better.
what is she whining about, isn't she the one that was bad mouthing President Trump. Why now? after all these years. Why all the drama when she wanted the fame and the good life of an actor.
What a gracious, articulate, beautiful woman. It makes me sick to think of how many women and men have had this type of abuse heaped upon them, and afraid to say anything about it, because their livelihood depended upon silence. Tragic all around. This needs to stop in every sector of our society. We must no longer put up with this gross behavior, no matter whom the perpetrator may be. Is is not okay to behave in this manner. Never. Period!!!!
ledzepgirlnmful how about she was silent about it while it was beneficial for her. Now that it's a scandal... all these women coming forward.... Really I think it's saying much more about the entertainment industry than they would like to admit to. Like it's made up of money hungry Hoars.....
No gracious, articulate woman goes to a "work meeting" with a man in a hotel room without knowing what he is looking for. She did something many women do, change her dignity for a role in Hollywood. And that is the text book definition of been a nasty woman.
Comic Book Guy. As long as there are women willing to trade their body for money or fame, the Weinstein´s of this world will never go away. It takes two to tangle.
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.
Who makes business meetings In hotel rooms..... And who accepts thoose meetings.... Why 30 years later.. And why a whole carreer later... This guy is no good! But a Lot pf woman made his life easier and facilitated the continuation of his behavior, also did Nothing to avoid That others soffered the same....
I have no respect for her, she is everything women should never want to be. It's all for attention. Any way she can get it, she has to be the center of attention. I used to think she was great, until she showed her true colors.
I was subjected to inappropriate behaviour when I was young a new to the workforce. All older men. I look back in disgust. I wish I knew them what I knew now but when your so young and these confronting things happen you just have no idea how to handle it. It’s just swept under the rug. I’m teaching my kids now what to do and say if they are unfortunate enough to be around these creeps.
tulipchic34 Well, I would have no issues groping Ashley Judd. Even drag her into my basement and keeping her barefoot and pregnant. She is not innocent as you make her out to be. I have no doubt that she was more than happy to go down on her knees a few times to get the parts she wanted. Nobody forces anyone into acting. It is a choice and they knew before hand this shit was going on. Are they too good to work for McDonald's ? Instead of asking do you want fries with that they ask, do you want me to swallow? I have no doubt you too did the same thing for your husband. Get over it. Did you try to blow bubbles?
I got to say, why is she coming forward now?!? No movie career, in need of attention?! I can't help but think if she would have come forward sooner, then maybe more women would not had to suffer. Apparently this was no secret in Hollywood, so why allow it to continue. Makes me mad. How can we tell our sisters and daughters to speak up to sexual harrassment/abuse when people that could have said something stayed silent for years---for what? Fame?! Getting the next movie script?! What is that saying, "Why, what does it benefit someone to gain the whole world and forfeit his life, or soul".
Creepy opening... "Well, here we are..... Did you imagine a day, in which so many people would be talking about " _something_ " inside *you* for so long...." God Damn! Balls on that woman to say that!
Right!! I was seeing if anyone else caught that too. Diane Sawyer is just... icky. I don't know how else to describe her, but something about her interviewing style (or maybe it's just her altogether) makes me cringe. I only clicked this video because I wanted to see what Ashley Judd had to say but I otherwise avoid watching anything with Diane Sawyer. That opening was just a straight up WTF.
It’s very GROSS!! Amazingly how inept she’s supporting HRC, do you think Weinstein would be getting prosecuted if HRC was elected? Thank you President Donald Trump!
Ashley Judd will attach herself to ANYTHING to try to remain relevant .her opinion of her self is a-lot BIGGER that people REALLY think about her ..KEEP RUNNING DARIO YOU MADE A GREAT ESCAPE ..NEVER LOOK BACK !!!!
Wow, the 90's..... if these Women came foward A LOT sooner, they could have saved many women from the abuse!! Change only happens if you stand up and talk, not wait 20+ years
I can't imagine the fear that she must have felt seeing this "monster" quickly coming out of someone she trusted. I would have kept my thoughts on that door out as well. Sad. It's great that all of this is coming out. NOW women can immediately open up to EVERYONE if ever and as soon as these predators rear their ugly heads. (Pun intended.) Her last words about Weinstein were really loving, very moving and hopeful. What a wonderful spiritual being...Ashley Judd...to say and believe that this sad human being can still become a spiritual one if he so chooses. Very powerful, self-respectful woman of integrity.
She was right when she said, "I'm a nasty woman" Yep, she sure is. Wow, she sure came out hard against the lies about our President. Why doesn't she extend that grace to him for HER actions?
So nothing actually happened to her and she got several jobs from HW. Insane. She's so obviously lying. Terrified? She looks triumphant in those photos! What is the takedown of HW really about?
Judd, seeking approval of some kind? Since you're proud to be a "nasty woman", get out of the way for a descent actress. You don't play a victim very well, no Oscar for you.
Did he really just expect none of these women who most are or were super famous at one time to never say a word? When there's that many how could you think it would never come out?
I hope that being harassed on a job never, ever happens to you but when one's entire career is on the line and The Man knows this and takes advantage, it is not an easy situation with which to deal. You will learn about this in the future as male egotistical predators lurk in every single business on earth.
You're actually blaming this on the personal nurture of the victim rather than on the bag of shit who assaulted her? Really? I don't care if she was raised by a troop of drug-dealing raccoons. Judd could be every single shade of insane and it would still be Weinsteins's fault. Yes, it's on her for waiting so long...that's where blame can be placed...but WHY is it most women who get raped or beaten still never come out and say it. They're ashamed and scared and are made to believe THEY did something wrong. Good on you for cultivating that misunderstanding, mate.
She is very honest. I believe her because she isn't representing herself as a passive victim. She is ashamed of how she reacted at first and wishes she had come forward sooner but as she says, who would have believed her.
Do you forgive our President....he is guilty of speaking disrespectfully of women.... but you are loving and forgiving a man who actually acted on his disrespect of women with no regard for his actions. Huh? What? It's just who you are?
Diane Almaguer let me explain to you since you have hard time to understand the difference. She doesn't want him to be punish instead he can get healed. However she is not allowing him to go back to his position ever. Trump is still a president shame on American s.
This nasty lady didn't have the nerve to call her director nasty! However, she has the nerve to criticize (nice word) our Wonderful President Trump without bothering to learn the truth about Hilary and rest! It's hard to believe what she says!
Why go to the room!? That lets him know he can try it with others. Some starlets do a lot for movie roles. And why work on his movies afterwards? That also tells him he can keep trying it on with others.
A part of me wants to say that If he would have made her a better offer she would have done it! If he was able to guarantee her she would win the Oscar would she had done it?
I have a NEW respect forYOU Ashley. And I want you to know that I feel Jesus Christ and your mother other in this but what a BRAVE soul you are that YOU are making such a HUGE impact in this industry... right here right now for Him.
She knew what she did she wanted the part and was fine enough with it for years. It takes 2 to tango. And I love it how they make it seem like hollywood has changed when she says “back when hollywood turned a blind eye” this is dribble.
I can only imagine the horror of this pockmarked, double-chinned boar chasing these women around like Leatherface, grunting and sweating in desperation. I hope they can find coping mechanisms to get through life happily.
You'll come forward now when it won't damage your career. What about all of the women who suffered because of this man? Judd isn't the only one guilty of this. Look at any of the veteran actors in Hollywood. They wouldn't risk their careers, despite the fact that if they'd just said it like it is earlier, fewer women would've been exposed to this mental and physical torment. It's absolutely reprehensible that you have left it until now.
Fertility Queen 1 second ago Yeah this is the crap I dont get! Now all of a sudden it NEEDS to be talked about. I dont feel sorry for these women. SO many after them, had to go through it because of their Sick Silence.
We live in a society where people still shame women who have been raped or sexually abused. The worst part is that women shame women. So backward. Well done to these brave women who have come forward despite the backlash. Women and men will never be equal until women support women.
I feel sorry for any person that has gone through this kind of abuse mostly for children, I'm have a problem with this especially when she can accuse another so viscously knowing that this man is hurting other young women, sorry it seems like a double standard .
Before we take Ashley Judd's word on this, do you hear her speech at the Woman's March? She accused all white males of being members of the KKK, and complains that women have to pay taxes on tampons! UGH!
