So it looks as though Hollywood is having its version of the Savile/Yewtree thing.

I just find it bizarre that no one thought to mention what he was up to until now. I suppose now their careers are secure.......

I'm hearing there's two main reasons; the print media racket that used to protect him (in return for cash, preferment and so on) has now collapsed. Google and Facebook have taken its place and its advertising cash. Many reporters had the goods but he just bought them off, often in advance.

And secondly, that Weinstein himself was only the lesser of two elephants in the room, the principle one being, of course, President Clinton. And nobody was inclined to properly go after him, fearing the political consequences for his Frau. However, now the Clintons are finnish, Bill too could yet be for the high jump again after all.

All idle gossip, of course, naturally.
