Getting to grips with old creeps
GOOD news. London mayor Sadiq Khan has said he wants the city to overtake New York and LA as a destination for film-making.
Bad news. Harvey Weinstein has started looking for houses there.
Yes, this is the story of the Oscar-winning film producer accused of sexually harassing females in the industry.
His wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, ditched him following the claims. Hopefully she made him a straitjacket as a leaving gift.
Weinstein has also been fired by the board of his company, meaning he’ll no longer be so hands-on.
Advice he’d do well to take on board in most areas of his life.
Not surprisingly, it looks like Weinstein’s producing days are over. Though he’s a shoo-in for a part in the next Predator film.
Ben Affleck has also been caught up in this horrible chat, apologising for groping an MTV presenter in 2003. A 14-year wait for an apology from Affleck.
Meaning it will be at least 2030 until he says sorry for the tripe that was Batman v Superman.
Then there’s Theresa May, who has praised the courage of women who have spoken out about Weinstein.
It’s easy to come under the spell of an old creep who’s in a more powerful position than you. Said the woman who publicly holds the tiny hand of Donald Trump.
