All it needs over there is to be on the wrong side of public opinion and you are back doing another series of Gavin and Stacey.
Hopefully not serious enough to send him back here.
Which is what the UK commenters are saying, keep him yanks.
Are the women who are claiming to have been raped let him have his evil way with them
to further their careers.
If yes it's consensual sex not rape.
If he forced himself on them it's rape and presumably he would then not assist them in their careers
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Judy Finnegan’s now saying a well known British TV mogul exposed his genitals to her when she was on the lower rung of the ladder trying to make progress as a reputable TV presenter. Please no puns that she’s still there.

More or less what I was trying to infer.
A tricky line to draw, when you ask yourself if, for example, any of heffner's (alleged) sleeping partners would have slept with him if not to gain financially.
This bloke (whom I never heard of before a week ago) doesn't seem like a very pleasant individual, but it can't be many would be actresses who weren't aware of the casting couch system.
Question is, - why make a massive issue of it at this point in time, and why this particular individual.
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.

I don’t think proclaiming that Weinstein as a close friend at this time was a particularly wise move if he valued his career. I don’t think even Gervais would sail close to the wind by making these kinds of jokes on prime time TV and here’s hoping he gets the tail end of a backlash from the American public and Hollywood and this bites him on his fat fucking behind.
She used to go out with Marilyn Manson at the peak of her career when she was in the series Charmed. Her career has been on the wane for the past decade.

Indeed. I had forgotten this:
Which means nothing bar a nice picture of her body and the other cunt.
"In a statement to The Times on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Weinstein said: “I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I’m trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go.”
He added that he was working with therapists and planning to take a leave of absence to “deal with this issue head on.”
And the NYT artice referred to sexual assaults whereas The New Yorker included rapes.
Not going any conspiracy, just background. Ronan Farrow is Mia's son by Woody Allen and brother of adpoted sister Dylan who made allegations against Allen, which were not proven, but his actions were criticised by the presiding judge in the custody case. And of course at a similar time, Allen was found to be having an affair with his adpoted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, whom he is still married to.
But the casting couch has been known about for a century or more, all know and keep schtum. As Roy Twing says, if an actress or actor wants to suck cock to further their career, and they are of legal age, that is their choice. Abusing those who say no is not good.
I've got 'Anger's 'Hollywood Babylon' and though sometimes fantastical, the underlying truth is there. So, a few may or may not get get sent down, there may be a few err suicides and on Tinsel Town will go on. One hopes not, one hopes the GBP and wider public in America fucks them, most films are shite remakes now, hardly any creativity, too much money for old rope. And socalled non-scandal superstars like Cruise and Smith, will carry on coining, for the lawyers are watching, and Smith trying to start a dynasty with his horrific brats says all you need to know about La La Land.
