Scott Rosenberg on Harvey Weinstein allegations: 'Everybody f***ing knew'

Excerpt:

“They gave me my career,” he said, going on to allege that while he never knew the extent to which Weinstein allegedly assaulted women, the rumours were constantly discussed with “big producers,” “big directors, “big agents,” “big financiers,” “big rival studio chiefs,” “big actors,” “big actresses,” “big models, “big journalists” “big screenwriters,” “big rock stars,” “big restaurateurs” and “big politicians“.

“I am eternally sorry,“ he wrote. ”To all of the women that had to suffer this…I am eternally sorry. I’ve worked with Mira (Sorvino) and Rosanna (Arquette) and Lysette (Anthony). I’ve known Rose (McGowan) and Ashley (Judd) and Claire (Forlani) for years…Their courage only hangs a lantern on my shame. And I am eternally sorry to all those who suffered in silence all this time. And have chosen to remain silent.

“So, yeah, I am sorry. Sorry and ashamed. Because, in the end, I was complicit. I didn’t say s—t. I didn’t do s—t. Harvey was nothing but wonderful to me. So I reaped the rewards and I kept my mouth shut. And for that, once again, I am sorry.

Hopefully this can be some kind of awakening/turning point.
