Why (Some) Powerful Creeps Are Finally Starting To Face Consequences
It took more than 20 women in all for the full measure of Weinstein’s monstrousness to become known.
It takes a village to bring down a powerful creep.
For Harvey Weinstein, it took
Ashley Judd, who
told The New York Times that during a breakfast meeting 20 years ago, Weinstein “appeared in a bathrobe and asked if he could give her a massage or she could watch him shower.” It took Laura Madden, who told the Times that Weinstein
“prodded her for massages” in hotel rooms in 1991. It took Jessica Barth, who reported having
a similar encounter with Weinstein, this time in 2011. It took Gwyneth Paltrow, who told The New York Times that, when she was 22, Weinstein ended a work meeting by
“placing his hands on her and suggesting they head to the bedroom for massages.” It took Judith Godrèche, who said Weinstein
asked for a massage, and then proceeded to try and take off her sweater. It took Mira Sorvino, who told the New Yorker that
Weinstein once began massaging her, eventually “sort of chasing [her] around” in an attempt to do more. It took Rosanna Arquette, who said Weinstein tried to force her to give him a massage, finally
grabbing her hand and pulling it toward his erect penis. It took Asia Argento, an Italian actress and director, who said Weinstein asked her for a massage, and then
proceeded to force her legs open and perform oral sex on her as she protested.
