Python star: #Metoo is mob rule
Director Terry Gilliam is facing a wave of criticism after he compared the #Metoo movement to “mob rule”.
The Monty Python member said the anti-sexual harassment campaign had led to a “world of victims”.
He labelled disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein a “monster” before adding: “Harvey opened the door for a few people. A night with Harvey – that’s the price you pay.
“I think some people did very well out of meeting with Harvey and others didn’t. The ones who did, knew what they were doing,” Gilliam said.
But his comments were criticised.
Director Judd Apatow labelled his comments “idiotic and dangerous”.
