Harvey Weinstein is a pretty miserable human being these days. He is incarcerated, feels rained upon and persecuted for doing what "everyone else was doing" in his industry and is positively eat up with the "why me" pity party thing.
His career was at the pinnacle of film production as the co-founder the entertainment company Miramax from which he fell to the status of "former" film producer and convicted sex offender following sexual abuse allegations dating back to the late 1970s.
The proceedings didn't interest me much because I felt that some of the victims knew (or at least should have known) what they were getting into ...
But be all of this as it may, I personally don't think that any individual should be allowed to make unwanted advances toward another at all because it's simply unseemly to the level of being creepy.
Some of the photographic evidence passed around on the dark web simply substantiated the "creepy" factor up one side and down the other and I personally was amazed at how shameless some of the photographs were given the physical appearance of this guy in all his nudity and flabbage.
Now, an obese physically unattractive person of the male persuasion can certainly attract a number of willing females nonetheless with whom to cavort in full blown carnal knowledge but forcing the act based on career hooks is pushing your luck given the utterly litigious nature of the world anymore. He should have been keenly aware of how lawsuit crazy a person with any legitimate claim and an axe to grind would be in this day and age given those amounts of cash he was raking into his personal coffers.
I know I would have been much more careful under the same circumstances — but it also would have been much easier for me given the timid self conscious guy into which I have evolved.
Besides the 'metoo media' not withstanding mixing love, sex, and work makes for multiple points of failure during interpersonal relations anyway and this should have been enough red flags flapping around him ... but it wasn't. I could never have felt so invulnerable and devoid of paranoia under those circumstances.
His earliest possible release date from his sentence of incarceration is November 9, 2039.
Happy birthday anyway, idiot. I think I would have preferred the career to the consequences of predation myself — but that's just me.
