sne Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Bob Iger has just stepped down as CEO of Disney he was supposed to stay on until 2021. Could be nothing, could be something. He is mentioned by Paz de La Huerta among the ones who helped cover up Harvey Weinstein's behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he knew loads, since even I knew about Weinstein's behaviour long before he was arrested (RIP Gawker). My impression is that pretty much all of Hollywood knew, I can't see why Tarantino would be any different (but then I also don't know why you're focusing on him, particularly).

He was executive producer on all of Tarantino's movies pretty much. They worked together, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 My feeling about this is that there are a lot of levels of 'knowing' that someone is up to no good, and that the police or other authorities only become interested quite a few levels up. The situation is complicated; Weinstein used NDA's to keep people silent, and people who may have been concerned may not have felt able to say anything without 'outing' victims. I'm not arguing that Tarantino, or anyone else who worked closely with Weinstein or socialised with him, is blameless. Maybe they aren't. But unless there's some concrete evidence of misdeed on their part, I would leave the question of 'whether they did enough' up to their consciences, and I think you can continue to enjoy their work for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 To be fair, regardless of what he knew about any abuse, Tarantino is just a grade A prick anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2020 Plus Weinstein held all the money so therefore he held all the power. Thats why he got away with it for so long - Tarantino isn't going to bite the hand that feeds him. Weinstein proved that he had the power to end peoples career in the film industry so no-one was ever going to stand up to him. Still to this day the majority of folks who he 'made' haven't completely condemned him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time since Tarantino would be **** if Weinstein turned on him. He’d be able to secure funding in no time even if he had to go outside of the Hollywood cliques.

chrisp65 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If the radio précis I heard was correct, and I really hope it was bullshit, his legal team tried to get a reduced sentence because he was famous and had been involved in some great films? Just imagine pitching that one to the judge. We know he’s a rapist a liar, a fake and a douche, but come on, we all love Piranha 3DD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thing that surprises me with these things, I bet there was no shortage of hot young girls who'd consensually hop into bed with him to get a "leg up" on their acting careers.
