Emma Thompson is not entirely surprised:

Emma Thompson is joining a chorus of famous actresses condemning Harvey Weinstein in the wake of the many allegations of sexual assault and harassment leveled against him.

Thompson, who starred in a handful of films produced by Weinstein’s company, including 2008′s “Brideshead Revisited,” said she had no previous knowledge of his actions, but is not entirely surprised.

“I didn’t know about these things, but they don’t surprise me at all and they’re endemic to the system anyway,” Thompson told BBC Newsnight. “What I find sort of extraordinary is that this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg.”

“I don’t think you can describe him as a sex addict,” she continued. “He’s a predator. But what he’s, as it were, [at] the top of the ladder of is a system of harassment and belittling and bullying, and interference.”

1. When they were getting ready to shoot Brideshead Revisted

he told young Hayley Atwell that she needed to quit eating aso much so she wouldn't look like "a fat pig" on screen. While Atwell isn't a thin as some actresses, she a far cry from fat. When Emma Thompson found out about the episode, she ripped Harvey a new asshole and said she would quit if Harvey didn't leave Hayley alone.

2. ...Leghorn 21 is not surprised at all! Of course Ms. Thompson laid into the REAL fat pig

in this scenario - she’s EMMA THOMPSON.

I would loooove to know if he ever tried one his suave come-hither pickup lines on Helen Mirren...hahahaha. That would have been a glorious take-down indeed!

Thanks for this, Tex -

4. No, he only preys on young, powerless women

Never women close to his age, even when he was younger. Always late teens, early to mid 20s.

3. Yeah, and the definition of a "fat pig"

would be Weinstein.

Apologies to pigs.
