Quoting my own post ......
There are some who were born into acting and are considered Hollywood 'royalty'. These are people who could have spoken out.
Women whose careers HW could not have hurt nor hindered.
This is not blaming the victim. Some victims were helpless and some might have had family or means to go after Weinstein years ago.
There were upcoming actresses who were essentially new to the industry and had no one (family, friends or financial means) to support them at all, like Ashley Judd. Ms. Judd was helpless against Weinstein or any other producer, etc. --who might have harassed her !
She had no one and that is why she had to stay silent until now. It would've meant her career and as unfair as that is-- it's how H-wood had rolled.
Really time for a big change in the film industry.
It wouldn't be surprising if this problem permeates other industries like music and fashion.
Then there were other actresses, who were born into the industry and had family and means to speak out against HW.
But it's also possible HW never harassed them., so they would've had nothing to speak out about ; at least against HW.
But am mainly speaking about others who might have been able to speak out against HW without any fear to their careers !
There is no blame to anyone women or men who stood to lose everything. Not their fault.
Have to make that clear so the true victim is not blamed.
