McGowan says the alleged rape happened during Sundance in 1997. An attorney for Weinstein said he "denies Rose McGowan's allegations of non-consensual sexual contact."
It literally makes you unstable I'm sure she looks back at these interviews appalled u can see the difference in her after his conviction. It's a strange feeling the nonvaladation how angry it makes you and into someone u dont recognize. Everyone becomes your opposition after your denied so many times anyone u encounter becomes the enemy and your in defense mode you immediately assume they wont believe it either. Its terrible and unfortunately I think only someone who's been denied justice can understand
Think how many times Harvy did this. Women who allowed him to do this he made stars out them. And the women who told him off or stopped him he destroyed their careers
Her actual quote was “if Harvey Weinstein invites you to a party, IN HIS HOTEL ROOM, don’t go!” Regardless of the particulars, she was right & no one believed her. Many careers were destroyed because they didn’t “play the game”. Just sick & twisted.
Reporter: "...Cause a lot of people are saying 'why didn't you fight him off?' or 'why didn't you run?'" ROSE: "A lot of people are also stupid." *BOOM*
No. That is no kind of break through, insightful answer. If some 260lb. woman pushed me into a bathroom and magically made my clothing evaporate off of my body and pushed me up against a wall and began performing oral sex on me I would 1. Rip both of her ears off. 2. Then begin ripping her hair out. 3. Punch her in the face so hard so fast and with such force... This all borders on the insane.
@@thomasgreaves354 It doesn't border on the insane if you have researched and/or understand the "freeze" reaction in an attack. There's much more that is involved in her reaction and it does make sense.
@@k.burton3473 If she was a child whose cries were being ignored and seemingly had no other choice, yeah it would. But she wasn't a child. She was a grown woman, and that is not her uncle. She did it to try and advance her career, then felt gross about it later, which I understand, but she needs to stop getting so defensive when people ask legitimate questions like this because she had an opportunity to delve deeper into the whole ordeal to get people to understand it better, to understand how that "freeze" mode came in effect, and why she kept going back to his parties, but she chose to get offended and rude.
It’s so easy for everyone to say, “why didn’t she run” “why didn’t she fight”. Unless you’ve been in that situation then do NOT speak on HOW it should have been handled
oh yea we shouldnt ask questions heee ... so in your opinion a judge should have done all crimes in order to able to judge a crime??? Some people are really dumb including you.
@lucaboden My question is why you think commenting on every single thread will convince anyone you're right? It wasn't a little room at Best Western, and he wasn't wearing a bathrobe. You're asking why literally hundreds of people would go to Weinstein's hotel. Well, there's your answer. Hundreds of people did.
I was molested as a pre-teen multiple times and raped as a teen, and when I tried to tell people they told me "that's not a joking matter, don't joke about this " it broke my heart and spirit, thank you so much Rose for sharing your truth, even if people didn't believe me at the time, I take so much heart and love that you are sharing your truth and speaking for all of us. Thank you so very much for being a true role model and speaking out you make my horrible experience feel worthwhile and like it means something. Thank you for being such a strong and impressive woman ❤❤❤❤
@@doragarcia5902 thank you so much for your kindness and it honestly means so much to me and touches my heart so much. Thank you Dora for caring and believing, it means the world to me ❤❤
😢 same. People don’t want to believe it. My youth leader did it to me. And no one believed me. It took me a long time to finally heal. And even now, I’m still peeling back the trauma goggles and hurt.
I feel for her. She was victimized over and over. Once by the Monster and then again by the industry, then by the public. Everyone made a joke out of her for years. I'm glad she's able to finally feel heard. Validation is rare for victims and survivors.
@@leobigelow7021- Like clockwork, you post an example of how women are further victimised by being called "liars." THIS is why most r*pists are never prosecuted. You are part of the problem. It takes on average, 7 assaults for one of these criminals to finally be taken to court and they usually do not get life. That includes pedos who only serve a few years then go out and commit further SAs whilst the world asks "why was he allowed out of jail??" Well, people like YOU are the reason for that. Victims are automatically "liars" in warped world views such as yours.
@kcotte59 he admitted the crimes himself, but I get your point. Also, don't be too quick to judge because If you haven't been in that kind of situation then you wouldn't know the pain and humiliation a person goes through...
Did he helped her to get any role in a movie ? Women who succeeded never told their stories. They enjoying their hard earned glory. These who Didnt are bitter and dissapointed.
Ktc 1. rape kits only work hours or days after the rape happened. 2. police can’t do much about it if they don’t have proof, nor can lawyers. 3. it seems like you’re saying you need Marilyn, a man, to come out and publicly say something about it to believe the story. is Rose not good enough?
Ktc of course i’m angry. men like you are disgusting. you insulted me in your comment that talked about me insulting someone else, so that makes you no better. hypocrite.
@Ktc do you know how hard it is to prove rape? we also have no proof that it didn't happen. doesn't it seem very possible to you? men in hollywood are in power and they take advantage of that power. i hope you keep that same energy for men like Terry Crews who come forward about their assault.
@@growmiezhomiez8760 She is Not powerful at all. In Europe noone knows her. She is running Out of Money thats why she NOW says it wasn't consensual, she fucked with him to get the next movie but was to average and shallow.
I absolutely love Charmed and I love Paige Rose's character I'm so sad to hear she was going through hell during her time on the show its absolutely disgusting and disgraceful that Weinstein paid Black Cube or whatever they're called to befriend and gain her trust. I hope Weinstein rots in hell!!
Weinstein is guilty but I dont understand why victims go to their lawyer. Victims should go to police. Its not true because she did sex scenes in a movie that people wouldnt believe her. I think these lawyers have a financial interest to encourage civil cases and not criminal cases because they can get more money, they can get a percentage of the settlement.
maciej wrotek Even if someone doesn't technically rape another person but continues pushing themselves onto them-with the advances being unwanted-that's still considered sexual assault I think. I have been assaulted more times than I care to remember-luckily never raped-but the encounters still messed me up pretty bad for awhile. They made me terrified for my daughters. I'm not an expert on this subject but I believe, even without actual rape, it's still considered sexual assault.
Rose refusing to mention her predator’s name is exactly the same thing me and my friend are doing after being sexually assaulted by our boss, too. It’s like saying the name makes them more powerful in our memories and it’s traumatizing yet again.
@Corby Dinsburger I was raped by my stepdad and got pregnant with my daughter. Maybe my experience has jaded me. Not to mention the way you speak towards women is vile. I am 43 years old! You?
Oprah had to have known and chose not to do or say anything....I have not one bit of respect for her...In her place of power , she could have brought this man down and didn't...I see her as an Elite now and thats as low as you can go in my book.
Poor Rose. After going through this as a child and adult, I can’t imagine going through this in public with so many people knowing and letting you down.
Psychologist here- it’s very common for victims of rape have a “freeze” response (like an animal playing dead until the predator dissapears) versus a fight or flight response. It’s an evolutionary function, that if often misconstrued as consent.
She got realy upset when the interviewer asked why she did not fight back during the whole ordeal could it be that she froze during the whole incident. Can you explain to me why she didn't push him of
@@elimkwok938 needs to be a meme if it isn't already to say that we ALL possess the bravery, to stand up and be heard... That we ALL have (as Little Mix sang) "THE POWER"
@@cozmahnut O RLY? It goes to court if the police take it seriously and the prosecutor thinks they can get a conviction. Then there's a public smear campaign against the victim, and she has to relive the trauma while testifying. You clearly have never had to rely on the system to deliver "justice" in a sexual assault case. Edit: do you really think calling me "justice warrior" is going to insult me?
I believe her and I feel for her when she speaks of her assault, I especially felt her words when she said that she “froze.” An incident like that is so unexpected and shocking you often don’t know what to do or how to react other than to freeze into place out of sheer confusion and disbelief. To anyone who’s even been sexually assaulted or even touched inappropriately can probably relate bc it’s a common reaction.
Yea its funny how ridiculous Hollywood is. They are always playing to the band tune. I think they teach these actors & the staff around them NEVER to go against the current. So at the end how credible can they really be?!!
This woman has so much courage and has been through so much. She had been silenced for so long. God bless you rose . Praying for you and all his victims. I'm so sorry to the victims. I literally have tears in my eyes. No one deserves this.
Yes. Thank you. Some call her crazy. Her eyes don’t betray her. I believe her. She is traumatized. You can feel it. I support her 1 million % . The interviewers energy is strange. ✌🏾
Sorry to say but she is disturbingly looking and sounding more like Sinead O'Connor these days ... mindlessly barking at even women who are ironically supporting her MeToo cause for not doing enough ... its like she's going a bit nuts. Its like, an environmental protestor screaming at 1 person removing a tree in their backyard when they should be going after big corporations instead ... Natalie Portman's small production company has so much smaller pool of directors to chose from compared to big productions with big budgets, why is McGowan targeting companies that live and die by each movie it makes ? These companies hardly have the freedom and capacity to chose directors based on gender and ignore other more crucial considerations ...
mayo naise . Many people starving for attention take to social media and make absurd comments. Then they sit back and amuse themselves at how many people they get to react 👍🏿
@Larissa Martinez i wish that if you ever experience trauma, people won't look the other way and accuse you of lying, like you just did. it's digusting to do that! but i don't wish bad things to others, so yeah, that's why i don't wish such treatment upon you. be careful what you say, be careful what you think!! what if you were in their shoes? don't forget that.
I believe her but 1, saying "taking money was my only way of saying this was not ok". I'm a rape survivor and frankly she could have pressed charges, she SHOULD have pressed charges but she chose money. She made sure he could assault more women and that no one knew about him. 2, while I may believe her I still believe she is nuts. She needs help.
kcotte59 wow true colors really fly. “Please let the rapist back in Hollywood so he can pay his taxes and help society.” Maybe Hollywood and entertainment as a whole to needs to not have consumer dollars because certain people in positions of power can’t be expected to act like decent human beings?
He’s such a despicable human being, I’m so sorry she had to live thru this, that anyone ever had to live thru this. Oh my heart just seeps out for her.
@Ktc McGowan was born into a religious cult. You don't think that messes with a person's sense of boundaries? You're pretty self-righteous about what she should have done considering you have literally no knowledge the situation. What makes you such an expert?
@Ktc Name one instance of McGowan changing her story, let alone "continually". Interesting that you have no facts to present, but plenty of ad-hominem abuse for those who disagree with you. I guess you don't have any points to make at all. Just a troll, as I thought.
@S K What you just said best described it, I do believe she is a victim and didn't deserve to be a victim of that scum bag, but she's over using it to the point where all she want is publicity.
Reporter: these are very powerful people you are talking about. (The tone... no sympathy and wants to scare Rose. Rose: they are, and so am I. (Love the courage)
I was raped when I was a teen and my body did the same thing - it froze. at the time I thought I must have drank more alcohol than I realized, as it felt really heavy and I couldn't move. but then later when it was over my body felt regular again. decades later I learnt this was a normal trauma response - fight flight freeze or fawn.
Truly sorry you experienced that 😔 This is a true phenomenon, i froze once too in the face of danger not understanding why! Turns out it happens in nature too when you see a deer standing completely still, it is a camouflage reaction I think
I have huge respect for this very strong woman! I cannot imagine how difficult her life has been. Today, she’s speaking out against those who have sat back doing nothing, all while knowing exacting who this monster is. Shame on Hollywood for their hypocrisy!
I truly believe her. The moment she said her body froze, cause I had been in similar situations were you are just so in shock you can’t move an inch. Everyone reacts differently, and we hear you love! ❤️
It happened to me too,l got a panic attack,l was shaking like crazy,l fell down,l l wanted to shout but words were not coming out,I'm such a loud person but in that moment l don't know what happened,l couldn't say anything, after the act,he sent me a message that he would really like to date me for real, when l saw a message,l got a panic attack again,it's sad coz in Africa, this is not even a case at all 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same. When I was raped I just froze to the spot, I can't explain it other than I froze in terror and felt as though I couldn't move. I just wanted it to be over as soon as possible, and I wanted to make sure I survived the experience. I didn't know if he was gonna kill me. It was terrifying, I honestly felt as though I left my body during the assault, I was there physically but not emotionally. Sending lots of love to all other survivors out there. Times up. What was done in the dark is coming to light!
our brains know only 3 ways to respond to threat: fight, flight or FREEZE. Basal reaction of our brain is to FREEZE. So next time you hear someone talk BS you can tell em that
I know how she felt when she said she "froze". I was sexually abused by an older female as a little girl and I would become physically weak, as if my body was a rag doll. It was like leaving my body.
Notawesomeatall7....I'm so sorry darling...I was molested too at the age of 10...I wasn't able to say anything to anyone... leading to depression....I'm can understand your pain....be strong ..
Rose your bravery in coming forward is inspiring for every person who has ever been a victim. You are a great inspiration. I hope you continue to heal.
Fight, flight, or freeze. Often women freeze in disbelief when sexually attacked/assaulted. It can be difficult to understand for those who haven’t experienced it.
The woman interviewing is not doing a good job. @4:51 What's with the smirk when quoting painful lines from the victim's book? The whole interview shows complete lack lack of sensitivity on the host's behalf.
Always with her. Same was just on another video I watched with her interviewing a man who believed he had proof of aliens. Regardless of who believes the man, as an interviewer you're supposed to stay impartial and clearly she can't. She has her disbelief all over her face in both interviews!
thats because she knows the entire thing is BS. she went back for more and more. which makes him a pig, but not a rapist.... anyone who can freely think and decipher between reality and emotion see's that... im not saying the guy never raped anyone, i dont know that... But all the women who had multiple encounters with him, knew what was happening, and they went along to get paid. period. This girl went back over and over and over again.... tell me one person in their right mind who would return to someone who forcefully raped them, to do it again, on their own free will.... yea.. not happening....
When Rose said "a lot of people are stupid" I feel she was directly telling this interviewer which she deserved for asking her those dumb questions, she lacked empathy and sympathy. Get a better interviewer seriously what is wrong with this lady.
She literally said “I don’t mean you” right afterwords. She states she did not mean her. She is angry. It’s to be expected. Decades of pain and healing (death and rebirth) so I’m sure she is tried of hearing that people are stuck on the letter A when she is at Z. It’s exhausting if you have been there to need to explain it and justify it and revisit it endlessly when 10-20 year old research can be read to get you to a place of not needing to ask. Cognitive shortcuts will be the end of the human mind unless we are all aware of their dangers. Reporters do ask stupid questions though because they assume the masses are dumb. My favorite ones are “how did that make you feel when your child was brutally murdered?” The dumb questions .are empty and senseless ....so by saying what she did she essentially said, people aren’t so stupid you need to ask that stuff and by asking that you’re saying people are stupid.
Pryscilla.M, you seem to be confusing journalistic duties with therapists' duties. Journalists' job is to get information, not to provide emotional support. If the journalist were interviewing Weinstein, would you want her to be sympathetic?
No matter how much time passes by and as you get older the memories and trauma never leave you. Her ordeal happened in the 90's, you can still see her pain in 2018
I’ve been kidnapped, molested, raped and abused. You never get over it. All these things happened to me between the ages of 14 and 23. I now am 63 years old and live like a recluse. Yes, I have had counseling. However I know that I will always have the mental scars until I die.
Majadi, you are talking just like the unbelievers Rose talked about. I've been there too, it's a frightening place to be. And when you're a neglected, abused child, you don't KNOW you have any power to fight adults or anyone. It seems you lack empathy. No one comes "out" like thus, in this way, for the fun of it. But, the ones who ARE telling lies, act much different than Rose here. I know!
I am so happy she vocalized what many of us that have been raped or sexually abused think when someone asked: “why didn’t you fight? “ She told it!! When it happens you’re 5 years old again. You don’t think you can fight until you one day do. A different fight but a fight indeed. I think she IS BRAVE!
I understand. I was a nine-year old child when I was sexually assaulted and I didn’t even scream the entire time, I just ‘froze’. It was like I was doing something else at the time when my attacker was penetrating my body, like my mind was somewhere else but my body could still feel it. My attacker went to jail for a while but the fact that he’s being released this month scares me. I don’t know how to be brave like Rosè McGowan but I like to watch her interviews and imagine that I wasn’t a doormat. I really am envious of the women and men out there brave enough to report and I applaud them.
Be strong and don't let him feel powerful...Now you will scream his name if you have too...and let the world know what he did to you when you were a child..You won't let him have any control or put any fear in you.
I really am so sorry for u,miriam.. even though i dnt knw u and we r so far apart but still i'd like u to feel u have a friend in me who will pray for you...
@She’s liberated TV “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Frank Herbert.
My attacker never went to jail. In fact, he's had children. 2 now. Life is fair indeed. I hate him. I fucking hate him. im still a little terrified of him but i know he is no longer capable of hurting me. He can't because i am no longer the 11 year old he assaulted.
Instead of questioning a victim, “why didn’t you do this, do that”- ask the perpetrator, “why DID you DO THAT”. It’s never a victim’s fault. If someone attacks or rapes another, it’s their fault, not the one who gets attacked or raped.
I hate this interviewer. She almost seems to enjoy these questions and how awkward the situation is. She loves these questions while Rose is in obvious pain just speaking about it.
Ok then y did close to 100 women come forward an said that Harvey either raped or did inappropriate sexual acts infront of them this girl did such a brave thing to co e out on one of the biggest names in Hollywood and if it it didnt happen y did that disclosure get if Harvey felt he did nothing wrong
Priscilla Donald don’t feed the predators any man who thinks likely a rapist himself. I would love to see how he would feel if some 300 pound 6’6 gay man took what he wanted from him. I would look at him and ask him why he is lying he knows he wanted it! He didn’t fight back hard enough he could’ve walked away he should’ve said no. Oh wait there a recording of him saying no over and over and over again we’ll that’s not true he didn’t leave he stayed. His path was blocked by someone 3 times his size who over powered him without even trying. He still could’ve said no and just left though. For the asshole above ☝️ When someone has physical power over you outweighing you by 200 pounds or more and towering over you you are trapped in that situation you’re instinct is to survive it and get out of it as fast as you can. When you’re that afraid you freeze. I know when someone’s body language is telling me they’re uncomfortable in a normal situation so don’t tell this fuck didn’t know what he was doing was sexual assault and this was not two sided. Telling a woman not to throw away a friendship with him over 5 minutes said it all and that was recorded it’s his voice his words. Hers were no, I’m uncomfortable, I want to leave, no, no, no. The fear and distress in that woman’s voice were real, the annoyance that she wouldn’t play his games in his as he tried as hard as he could to force her to bend to his will was also real. So fuck him, fuck anyone like him, fuck anyone defending his actions, and fuck you. I really hope one day you’re presented with some man twice your size who could easily over power you and take what he wants from you but doesn’t. Just so you know what it’s like for woman every single day. We can’t walk to our car alone without looking over our shoulder to make sure some male predator is t trying to harm us. It why woman go to the bathroom in pairs. It’s why woman don’t like to do things alone in general we’re safer in numbers. 1 in 3 woman has been sexually assaulted in some way, 1 in 5 have been raped. Yes I was raped but I wasn’t a woman I was an 8 year old little girl just playing at the park with my 5 year old cousin and no adult supervision. That was 1982. August of 2017 he was finally caught after a family me ever turned him when she found his house was floor to ceiling in child pornography. His name is Charles Emory and he is from Seattle, Washington so you can take a look for yourself. That man kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered little girls with his brothers for over 60 years. There are 100s of woman just like me who’ve come forward. We are the lucky ones who didn’t get in the car. His sentencing was to spend the remainder of his days in the state mental hospital because he has dementia and can not be charged, he can’t defend himself....neither could we but we were still raped.
she was very poor and had been homeless before and was terrified it was going to happen again, and so continued working, but she did not work under him for long i believe
Only people that have been raped know about the freezing part of this. I was molested at 10 by a late60's man and many times by my step brother and then raped while being chocked. I am only now talking about this and I am 51. By the way while I was being molested, my step sister was also being done by her brothers friend. She is 4 years younger than me and this started between me being 11 to 14 so just do the math.
@@brokenbutterfly3178 NO! I don't talk to him and to be honest I don't know where he is. I know he lives in Illinois. I live in North Carolina and the last time he talked to me was to get some money off of my father, when his mother died and to also give me a recipe for Italian beef, but not at the same time. My father passed and that the last I dealt with with his mess. My father was also a child molester, but it never happened to me. It was my two sisters and since they were adopted and I wasn't is the only reason he didn't me and believe it or not he told me what he had done and this came out on my sister's suicide and the state of Illinois did NOTHING! My mother didn't either and never told me. I told her what he had said and she said to me, "OH he told you?" I was shocked she never told me. He could have me too. Plus my cousin told me that not only my dad, but two other uncles and one had molested her sister. Just sick. Long answer!
This woman is no victim. She is a survivor, a fighter, empowered, a superwoman. Someone give her a cape because she is going to change the world. And I believe she'll do it.
I know I’m touching on dangerous ground here, but so many men are accused of rape etc, ( when they DID NOTHING WRONG) a man can’t even flirt or they might get accused of some Horrendous thing but She also insulted other actresses, by saying he will believe I have a brain, not like other actresses. Who takes their rape and makes a tv show about it. Even small children have tried to fight off their attacker, and they have NO POWER EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICALLY. How you not scratch his eyes out. People are not stupid Rose. Fame became first for you. I hope you get off media and get help.
@Ktc Yes she probably did. I was not aware of her past as other mentioned it here before, I am not putting her as a goddess here just I can see she must have been through alot thats all. My knowledge about her is totally minimum, so thx for spreading more facts out
You never know how another individual will react to someone forcing themselves on them. I once went to a condo of a guy I hadn't met before with a few friends to pre-drink before we all headed to a club. Afterwards, we went back to the condo. My friends left (breaking the friend code) leaving me with that guy. I am very thankful I was wearing jeans (would normally go out with a dress/skirt). I told him I was going to sleep on the couch and he tried to force himself on me. I was trying to push him off and saying no. He didn't stop. Then I said, almost yelling "do you have a mom... a sister... a daughter??!!". Then he stopped. It was lucky I said because he stopped. I did, for some reason, stay and sleep. The next morning he was extremely apologetic. I told him we were NOT friends and if he ever saw me in the street to look the other way like we had never met. My friends are still very upset that happened. I would NEVER victimize a victim. Just awful.
I believe her. I truly believe her and Corey. I believe these evil people use their money to cover up their vile acts by making those who dare speak up against them look crazy. There are to many of these victims for all of them to be lying.
Corey Feldman was no best friend to Haim. Did you see anything of the Two Coreys? Haim looked vulnerable and lost and Feldman abused him mentally on film. Making himself look like the accomplished one by putting down Haim for no reason. I always felt bad for Feldman until I saw that. He also needs 10 million from the public somehow to name according to him, child predators in Hollywood still in a position of access to kids. He could have named the names. Feldman abuses the sympathy from the public to gain money over the backs of kids being abused. He is a piece of 💩.
I hate what Hollywood has done to her and so many others. It is so heartbreaking how young people flock there to pursue their passions, looking at such a bright future to be crushed by the weight of all the monsters that take everything from them and give nothing back. Too many of these people are in positions of power and everyone around them protects them. It is unacceptable and people like her is how it will stop. Her bravery will help others come forward, until hopefully people will wake up and stand up for eachother when it happens.
My teen daughter was molested at school and also raped outside of school last year. Two things I was shocked by in BOTH incidents: 1) How few people believed her. (Her principle - a rabid conservative - refused to even consider that her molestation claim was true, despite several other girls claiming the same exact thing happened to them AND having video evidence of the molestation. He dismissed it with "females are so emotional".) 2) How many women I talked to who said the same exact thing happened to them and they were met with the same exact disbelief.
This poor woman. She's so damaged by what's happened and the people that were involved I'm not surprised she dislikes the industry. I hope she finds the happiness she deserves
Andy O'Connor, the casting couch has been around for as long as the movie camera has been around. Attractive women willingly sleep with powerful movie men to get ahead in their career. And if Weinstein did indeed rape her, she should have gone to the police the second after the rape took place, not wait 20 years to shed tears in front of a news camera crew.
@truth buster I don't know if this woman is a liar but she is definitely jumping on the MeToo movement for a few minutes of attention. If she was indeed raped by Weinstein, she should have gone directly to the police and have the doctors do a rapekit test done. I would bet anything that most if not all these women who accuse Weinstein of sexual assault were willing participants in a game of "OK, I'll come up to your hotel room at 11 at night and I'll give you a massage if you give me a part in a movie."
Apparently she wasn't 'brave' enough to fight him, escape, get help, call the police, file charges, confront him, file a lawsuit, etc. Terrorized _repeatedly?_ And you call others 'stupid?' Wow. What a crock.
Something I've been struggling with lately (also being a person who has been assaulted) is the question of "Why?" In my opinion, we, as human beings, need to no longer use this question. "Why didn't you this?" or "Why didn't you that?" It serves ABSOLUTELY NO FUNCTION at all other than to dismiss the vulnerability, guilt, shame, fear, and, ultimate, CONFUSION, experienced by those who have been assaulted. People REALLY shouldn't ask any questions, at all. Cause it's NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. But, if they must ask, the question should be HOW. And, certainly, NOT, aimed at the victims, but at their PERPETRATORS!!! HOW did this happen? WHO took you to "his" office? WHERE did it take place? WHEN did it take place? WHAT did he do to you??? We should drop the "Why". It no longer applies. ESPECIALLY when it comes to sexual assault!!!!!!! ANYTHING but that. It's a useless, meaningless word people only utilize to detach from an {already uncomfortable} experience.
Grettel Ponce But she is here to explain her side of the story though. And she is at the very least extremely vague. The best we get here was a literal "whoosh". Followed by anyone asking for more information is "just too stupid". She wants to be heard. She wrote a damn book. Look, I want to believe her, in fact I actually do believe her. HOWEVER, she's probably also stretching the truth a bit here and there and doing a horrible job to show what happen, even going as far as being extremely condescending, falting her inflated ego and showing she's not all that trustworthy or even coherent.
If you want to convince people, you have to explain yourself. SHE'S the one who went piblic. SHE'S the one who wrote a book. Don't want to "educate" me? Fine. But you don't get to turn around and say "how dare you not understand."
@@grettelsanchez3130 Understand what? This chick only got on Scream because she swallows. Now she's doing the whole "I regret being a slut." If this was the 50's and Harvey was black he'd be lynched by now. Nobody ever asked them to "educate" them either. They just ran with it.
Then, she takes the money instead of taking legal action. That could at least stop such behavior, and potentially spare many others of a similar fate..!!
THIS is what real Feminism looks like. No virtue signaling, no guilt, no shame, no blaming other men. She points the blame where blame is due, while the Hollywood establishment takes all the credit for "taking a stand" when they were letting that creep do what he did. Respect.
You know you don't have to tear others down for what they are doing. While acting holier than though. Hope this critism is not misinterpreted by you as a take down
YONDU POPPINS : Please!!! Look harder. I can’t believe that people don’t see a bought whore when they see Rose. She wasn’t in that situation out of the blue.
“A lot of people are also stupid” I freaking love her!!! I know exactly how she feels..and I’m very proud of her. I’m sad she had to go through all this.😔
Exactly. Why didn't you a fight off a powerful mogul who's in charge of your career and livelihood, who blindsided you, who is 3 times your size/weight, who you are completely alone with in a locked hotel room. All that aside, some SA victims fight back and some freeze out of terror or fear of making it worse. Stupid ass question.
Ppl asked me why I didn't fight back after i was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance... I froze. She described it exactly how I felt it. My poor brain. My poor body. Detached. God. 😢
I love how she answered when the interviewer told her: There some powerful people you're talking about, and she said: Yeah," So Am I " . Yes girl that's right you are !!
"i can feel him there“ and also the way she says it… every person that experienced what she had to, knows exactly how this feels. it‘s a very terrifying, very lonely, gut wrenching and disgusting place to be forced into. it‘s so scary when even an event or a place can make you feel the same way this person made you feel like it‘s a reminder that just keeps coming up. you never forget that feeling and when this never happend to you can be glad that you‘ll never have to have this feeling bc it‘s like a sense that never goes away.
I like to think of myself as a very tough woman. Been in many fights with men and women. But when someone did something to me that I didn't want, I did the exact same thing...I just froze!!!! I hate myself for that! To this day I get so mad when I look back on that day! It really does change you as a person. I have 3 daughters now and they think I'm too over protective and I'll gladly be that so they will never have to feel what I felt in that moment.
@@KCM1 true. He seems to have escaped this for so long already. Clearly this isn't a recent development and has been happening for years with all of Hollywood being aware of it and doing nothing.
Because money was enough to keep them quiet in their persuit for money and a career, and now that they know they had a bad career, they take revenge for the fact they were losers and moneygrabbers,?
Because Hollyweird still supports him contrary to what they tell everyone now. Far too many people in that industry owe him for their careers one way or the other, and these are the same people who gave that other rapist Roman Polanski a standing ovation at an awards show a few years back.
Monsters have no power in a world where people don't play along in their games. That goes for politicians as well as rapists. Monsters would quickly go extinct in a world where people thought a little farther ahead. But as long as we condone them, defend the reasoning behind their actions, worship them for their power, then these monsters will remain. You get one, two more replace them. You people try to treat the symptoms but don't look at the underlying disease. Good luck with that.
I'm sorry that Harvey Weinstein did stuff to so many women. It's horrible what he did and he deserves to be in Prison for years. At the same time though I am angry at all the Actresses that have come forward now. Yes its horrible what they went through. But not one of them did the right thing and went to the Police to report what he had done, so he could be arrested and so other women could be protected. All these Actresses were concerned with was protecting thier acting Careers, not other women. Now Years later after its come out about what he did to countless women, these Actresses have the nerve to expect pity for what they went through. SMH Who I have pity for are all the women that were victimized, while these Actresses kept quiet to protect thier precious Careers. They should feel so ashamed of what they did.
It's bad when you try to fight back legally and the criminal defense attorney tells you that you will loose cause of the type of career you have can be turned against you.
Oh My God I love her bravery. The interviewer said "These are the most powerful people you are talking about". And she answered "They are, and so am I". So empowering.
No way to cover up the specific orientation of wrongdoers (note: mentioning the "g" word gets posts removed on RU-vid) . But evil straight me fits the prejudices and narratives of those in positions of influence.
@gaaay. Whatever my intelligenience level, you could not be a scared little girl and actually try to debate me instead of being a bully hurling insults.
This breaks my heart it really does 😪😪😪 She use to be so full of life and now its just like shes losing it psychologically and i feel for her ive loved her for so many years from Phantoms to SCREAM to Charmed
Did she not get the part? Did she not show up at red carpet events and seen looking happy as all hell? Her career has taken a dive and now she wants attention now that the checks have slowed!
One time someone broke into my home while I was sleeping, I woke up to the sounds of yelling and banging.. it was horrific. In that moment my mind stopped working and instead of going to the sliding glass door to escape the house, I hid. Not the most brilliant decision, right? I always thought I'd be smart in a situation like that but when traumatic events take place most times the mind can't process a proper reaction. I believe her 100% because I've experienced that frozen state, its real, this woman is being honest.
southlondon86 sometimes it’s empowering knowing that others are there with you, showing that you are indeed more than just ‘one woman’. She froze up and locked it inside, who was she at that time in a turbulent sea of women making these allegations. She knew that at that moment she was irrelevant and she was never going to get the traction going like some of the other women accusing Weinstein of rape. Now it’s a different story, she feels safe and empowered to step out and talk about it. I’m not saying you should blindly follow her but just put yourself in her shoes. M You’re young, just starting out in your field and you meet one of the most influential men in the business. Unless you’re royalty or have everything on tape you’re screwed. Now imagine telling people about what happened and everyone going “you deserved it, he did nothing wrong, the story seems fake”.
That is so true, I believe her as well. I can’t believe there’s people who decide to make judgements and harmful comments about things they have been blessed not to experience.
Em ignore people like SouthLondon86 🙄 I’ve shared my experience on here, and no matter what I, you, or Rose says, some dickhead has to come along and think they know everything
