Harvey Weinstein’s Fall Opens the Floodgates in Hollywood

By JIM RUTENBERG, RACHEL ABRAMS and MELENA RYZIKOCT. 16, 2017

LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein is certainly not the first powerful man publicly and credibly accused of sexually harassing or abusing women in recent years.

Since 2015, the Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, the Fox News prime-time host Bill O’Reilly and the comedian and actor Bill Cosby have suffered professional, financial or reputational setbacks after numerous women told stories of their sexual misconduct.

Those stories dominated news cycles, to be sure, but the outcry accompanying Mr. Weinstein’s downfall seems louder and more impassioned — perhaps because Mr. Weinstein’s accusers include stars like Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Barbara Walters has already dismissed the Pedophilia Scandal as "bad for business". Hollywood will be working overtime to keep those stories from surfacing.

Ahhhh.....but there's WIKILEAKS and the internet today.   Plus.... a bevy of 'New Yorker' publications willing to take on more advertisers.
