hardly the result i was expecting, guilty of just 2 counts

 

over 80 women came forward giving stories of his evil doings

OK - he has been found guilty - that is proven guilty - on 2 counts.

Better than - aquitted on all counts - due to lack of ' proof '.

When is it going to be understood - the LAW - is not about ' truth ' - nor Justice.

That is why ' she ' is portrayed - blind.

Oh please. They bonked him to get into showbusiness. Now they're playing the victim. It's all quid pro quo on the casting lounge.

 

Doesn't meant the man's not a sleaze.

It pains me, but I totally agree.

The casting couch has been a fixture of Hollywood since Hollywood was invented. I can understand some angst from those who failed the audition, but the rest knew exactly what they were exchanging their 'favours' for. Contracts, movies, top billing...

A small price for what they expected to receive in return.

So its OK that to get anywhere in show business, a young woman has to submit to a sleaze?

OK because  "everyone knows" thats what you have to do?

OK that a person has that much power??
