Harvey Weinstein is a complete scumbag, and I think he should rot in prison. At the same time, Hollywood is full of flaming hypocrites. It’s totally repulsive that they kept quiet for so long. Harvey was a KNOWN scumbag, but no one wanted to rock the boat.
It’s all just gross, and it’s getting weirder.
According to TMZ, a judge allowed Weinstein to release emails he received from one of his rape accusers. The emails show the woman actually PROFESSING HER LOVE TO HIM after the alleged rape.
Keep in mind that the alleged rape happened on March 18, 2013.
The emails — just filed in the criminal case and obtained by TMZ — were written between April 2013 and February 2017 by the woman who claims she was raped by Weinstein on March 18, 2013 in NYC.
One of the emails — written April 11, 2013 — says, “I was able to talk to [redacted] today and will be connected with [redacted]. 🙂 Thanks, and I hope to see you sooner thank (sic) later …”
So right there, one month later, she’s telling her rapist that she hopes to see him soon? Whhhhhaaaa???
On April 17, the email reads, “It would be great to see you again, and catch up!”
Another email on Sept. 11, 2013 says … “Miss you big guy.”
In January 2014, she wrote, “Your the one who makes it look good with your smile and beautiful eyes!!”
And, on July 10, 2014, she emailed, “There’s no one else I would enjoy catching up with that understands me quite like you.”
And then there’s this on Feburary 8, 2017 … “I love you, always do. But I hate feeling like a booty call. :).”
Sorry, but that is NOT how I’d imagine you’d interact with someone who raped you.
The emails were attached to a motion to have the rape indictment dismissed based on prosecutorial misconduct, because the emails were allegedly withheld from the Grand Jury and would prove exculpatory.
Weinstein says the alleged misconduct is so egregious, it taints the entire indictment involving all 3 accusers and he is asking the judge to dismiss all criminal charges.
I think there’s a definite chance that some of Weinstein’s accusers are exaggerating, which really sucks for the women he really DID assault. It’s really selfish of them to do that, actually. It casts doubt on the other stories– the stories of women who really WERE victims.
