I like how all the people who were doing business with him suddenly started claming they themselves were also victims.

Here is an example from Time magazine interview with Tina Brown[1].

  You launched Talk Magazine with  Harvey Weinstein.  Do you regret going into business with Harvey Weinstein?

   I certainly do. I regretted that long before the sexual harassment complaints.
   I regretted it within about twenty-five minutes of signing the contract. 
   No, it was a very, shall we say, unwise career move on my part.
   And when I learned about what had been happening, I had no idea that that was happening.
 But the rest of his personality did not make me think, “What a surprise.” 

I like how time magazine themselves provided the answer for her in the question " do you regret" and horrible dishonest answer by Tina. Unfortunately noone held enablers like Tina accountable and time magazine helped ppl like Tina absolve themselves publicly via softball "interview". Very dishonest magazine and culture, Why didn't they ask her why she continued to take money from him if she knew within first 25 mins.

Why am getting downvoted :\, can down voters pls let me know. I think this comment is on topic.

That's a great interview. I didn't know anything about Tina Brown before, and I like hearing her voice in it.

Maybe you're being downvoted for somewhat over-the-top criticism? It's easy to criticize successful, energetic people -- they're always making mistakes and often learning from them too. But it comes across as jealous and petty.

I am jealous of Tina Brown? I don't think so, I have no idea who she is, this is first I've heard of her.

Whats "over the top" about my comment. Don't you think its fair to ask her why she continued to take money from him if she knew within 25 mins of meeting him.

I don't think Weinstein case was simple bad guy vs innocent women. There were many enablers, don't you think its fair to ask tough questions to people who got into business with him.

I think media like Time have gross "us vs them" biases, Tina is on their side so she gets asked no tough questions.

Your quote says she regretted going into business with him within 25 minutes of signing the contract. Not that she knew of his behavior within 25 minutes of meeting him.

Those are two entirely different things and if you want to avoid criticism you would do well to maintain consistency across your posts.

[dominotw]

Then what kind of regret is she talking about? That it was some sort of bad business deal ? How is that relevant in this context. "Do you regret it" implies "regretting going into business with a sex predator" . Yea?

Her regretting bad business deal is not relavent here. Again thats the kind of stuff I would've asked her if I was the one interviewing her.

[Jtsummers]

From your quote of the interview:

  I certainly do. I regretted that long before the sexual harassment complaints.

She regretted doing business with him before knowing he was a sexual predator. It's plain as day, and your misrepresentation of the interview is why you're getting downvoted. You need to learn to present your case more consistently and with quotes that actually expand on it rather than quotes, like here, which present a different case than you intend.

[dominotw]

I understand, I am asking you what exactly did she regret about doing business with him. Its important to know since she regretted it before he was outed. correct?

[galobtter]

I would say the person doing the sexual abuse is clearly the worst person and the clear bad guy- yes people shouldn't enable them, but not cancelling a contract or something like that is not the same as doing sexual abuse. And it's not like cancelling the contract would've prevented the abuse.

[dominotw]

Weinstein’s Complicity Machine

A journalist did not ask the question that was on your mind. Your response: "Very dishonest magazine and culture". That's a large jump.

Culturally, calling someone dishonest, particularly a journalist or publication is a very serious claim that requires serious evidence or argument. Now we have a president who throws it around carelessly. We don't have to allow this to become normal.

[dominotw]

"Mr. Weinstein’s final, failed round of manipulations shows how he operated for more than three decades: by trying to turn others into instruments or shields for his behavior, according to nearly 200 interviews, internal company records and previously undisclosed emails. Almost everyone had incentives to look the other way or reasons to stay silent. " [1]

Why would Time give platform to Weinstein’s business partner Tina Brown to declare herself an innocent victim.

How do you explain it?
