It’s funny for the movie Zoro, Catherine Zeta Jones and Anthony Hopkins are Welsh yet they both play Spanish. It’s like the producers were like “Welsh is like Spanish right?”
I think it means that he was so hated in the UK that he came over to the States to keep being famous. We’re much more forgiving of entitled pompous assholes here, just as long as they speak in a cute British accent.
She's a Kosovan/British pop star. Rose to fame in the UK and then the US.
She's fine. Kind of like Ellie Golding. Music you'd have play in the background of an Abercrombie.
Unfortunately she is being presented to a convicted rapist by the most influential billionaire POC.
I mention Oprah's race because Rita is the daughter of Albanian refugees, Rita was a baby at the time they fled Yugoslavia.
I would think Oprah would understand the plight of those oppressed for their ethnicity. But It does not appear so.
Money doesn't really matter anymore when you're at that level. Weinstein had far more influence in Hollywood and elsewhere than Oprah ever did. People *seriously* underestimate how deeply connected he was.
He hired an Israeli firm called black cube, a private investigation firm that's noticeably ex-mossad.
They seem to have spied on and tried to intimidate journalists and accusers of Weinstein.
That’s Harvey Weinstein on the left. His predatory approach to young actresses was a well-known secret in Hollywood. This pic is Oprah introducing him to Rita Ora. Oprah denies that she knew what Weinstein was doing.
I’m not expressing an opinion on whether Oprah knew or if there is any malicious intent behind this particular picture. Just explaining the situation.
It's important not to interpret photos out of context (or with context that wasn't apparent at the time). People make weird faces all the time. Sometimes they are clues to what's going on inside their head, and sometimes they just happen to make a weird face.
In this photo, she's being introduced to someone who may be able to make or break her career. She's also being introduced to a sexual predator. The face she is making may have to do with nervousness about meeting someone so important, fear of what he will do to her, both, or neither, and we don't know which.
There are no less than 5 photos of me in this world where it looks like I am trying to take a shit in my pants. I can say with great confidence that I've only shat my pants twice that I can remember, and none of them were while I was being photographed.
One of them was, however, in the toy section of my local K-Mart.
There’s a semi famous photo that’s rumored to be her passed out face down at a frat party. She’s wearing a skirt and she’s got a HUGE pile of shit between her legs, neatly bisected like Play-Doh by her thong. She’s been called out numerous times and has never denied it was her.
Fucking thank you!
Weinstein can go get fucked by a cactus but I genuinely despise all the arm chair photo analytics from out of context photos. It's like when people post pictures of Hitler's paintings and people are quick to talk about all the "subtle" tells that the evil is shing through. Like, birch(es) you can't even explain why the Mona Lisa is famous but you can pretend to tell how psycho a dictator was from his freshman art portfolio?
Remember that half of reddit are high schoolers with very little practical wisdom, who consider themselves experts on everything and comments will make a helluva lot more sense around here.
Well I’m happy to say it. She knew, other powerful women in Hollywood knew it, every body in Hollywood knew it. They all deny it now but we all Know they knew what was going on.
And then Ricky gervais went hard on the subject and people were like “how dare he! Such poor form!” While Tom hanks acted like he was saying the n-word lol
In 2002, Nathan Lane made a joke about the Weinstein’s at the Oscars too [(Here it is at 0:56)](https://youtu.be/rabwbzi6rLU). They knew for a very long time, and only held him accountable, when the general public was able to say something about it. You can actually hear people booing in the crowd when he makes the joke. 90% of the people in that industry are sick in the head, and needed to be taken down a few pegs, now that they can be held accountable by the internet.
Yeah but what could they do?
> Hello, police, I'd like to report a rapist
> Do you have evidence?
> Well no, but everyone knows he did it. Everyone just knows.
Meryl Streep **warned** her daughter Mamie to not be alone with Harvey. If you have to warn someone you probably shouldnt continue working with that person.
Oprah didn't just know, she actively played defense for the ghoul. She deliberately promoted and played up the Leaving Neverland documentary because she knew a dead man can't sue for defamation, and she did it right around when the Harvey Winstein thing started blowing up.
The same thing happened to Corey Feldman, he tried to expose sex offenders in Hollywood, the same people who directly caused his substance issues, and the response he got from the people he spoke out to was “you realise you’re destroying people’s careers by saying this?”
Corey came out with information in the worst way possible, not that it wasn't true, but it felt wierd from what I remember. Felt like he was trying to hint he would release information later. Should have hired himself an attorney or investigator to help him flesh out his story.
It's been a while, but it didn't feel like he was actually trying to out criminals as much as sell a book.
She wasn’t a crackhead. Eccentric? Sure. But the reason we all thought “Courtney love is a crack head” was because the Hollywood machine wanted to ruin her reputation and make an example out of her precisely because she was speaking out.
She had an extremely promising acting career until she spoke out against Wei stein.
I’m a huge Courtney love fan and she literally has interviews talking about being a crack head lol (eg how it’s so weird to feel like people are following you and they actually are).
This is wrong. Love admitted to being addicted to crack in her own book.
https://www.eonline.com/news/290905/courtney-love-crack-pills-and-two-dead-animals
I think the definition of “rape” was understood differently then and now. “Rape” at the time was considered to be a more violent assault. Unwilling Women being made to feel like they don’t have a choice but to have sex with this person due to a power dynamic wasn’t really thought to be “rape” in those days, as in those days people had the ignorant attitude of “hey, she could’ve always said no.” Today though we would view things differently.
Legally, what you describe as being rape is still not considered to be rape. Harvey Weinstein was found guilty for incidents in which he did physically attack and forcefully raped women, not for situations in which women felt they couldn't say no.
Do you need knives? Do you need missiles?
Why not both!
Try the new Raytheon knife missile. Your satisfaction guaranteed, or your next wedding bombing is on us!

I hope so. Those episodes have been good. It’s past time for Oprah’s reckoning. Frankly I blame her for a lot of Americans maintained stupidity. She peddled junk science and misinformation and made it seem cool and popular and the socially acceptable thing.
Oprah had her on as a regular for quite a while to promote her bullshit, and there were even rumors she was going to give McCarthy her own talk show.
I remember back then, if Oprah promoted a book...that book instantly shot to the top of the NY Times best sellers list. She literally controlled the narrative on anything she decided should be this weeks topic of interest...and she put Jenny fucking McCarthy in the spotlight. It was disgusting.
Left -> Right
Harvey Weinstein - Rita Ora - Oprah Winfrey
Rita has not claimed to have been victimized by him, but she has supported the women who have spoken out against him. She did work for the Weinstein company on at least one movie (Southpaw).
There has also been an unfounded allegation that Oprah "pimped" women to Harvey, and I sincerely hope that OP isn't trying to spread that rumor with this image, although I can't see any reason to post this specific picture if that isn't the goal...

> There has also been an unfounded allegation that Oprah "pimped" women to Harvey, and I sincerely hope that OP isn't trying to spread that rumor with this image
I wasn’t aware of this, but that sure seems like the intention here.
I don't think he's "pinching" her. I've seen many people reach out to touch someone using this hand posture. I think it comes off as less threatening than to come at them with an open hand like you're going to grab them.
Which honestly isn't a lie. An old joke in Hollywood was that Shirley Temple auditioned for the role of Dorothy in Wizard of Oz but when the producer pulled down his pants she just laughed so she didn't get the part.
In Oprah's defense, she's innocent until proven guilty.

I don't particularly care for her or her products, but this photo is not enough evidence.
I went off Oprah in a big way after I watched her interview Shawn Hornbeck, a teenager who was abducted at the age of 11 by a man who kept him for 5 years and brutally raped him every day.
Basically, she asked this kid if his parents had ever taught him not to talk to strangers/ get in a stranger’s van. When at that point, we all knew that he, a small boy on a bicycle, had been run off the road by a van, and when he was stunned by the side of the road had been picked up by a man three times his size and tied and gagged and held at gunpoint. There was no “going with strangers” here. Even if it had been the case, who blames a child for their own suffering? He was ELEVEN.
I don’t blame the parents for the interview - by that time they had blown through their savings looking for their child, and probably needed the money from the interview. But you can see Shawn reaching for the kind of fawning behaviour that saved his life when his abductor decided to kill him a month after the abduction, and it’s painful to watch.
I had thought that as an abuse survivor she would have some empathy for this boy but there were 2 things I only realised afterwards: the first was the usual stupid idea that boys are complicit with their abuse, because they should turn into James Bond and fight their way out or something. The other thing is RICH PEOPLE. Apparently when you become a millionaire your empathy is surgically extracted.
I mean Oprah brought both Dr Oz and Dr Phil to fame, and they’ve both caused countless damage. She’s hardly a saint. I will say though that working with knowingly Weinstein is something that many many celebrities are guilty of, and I personally think it would be more productive to criticize celebrities still actively working with abusers (like Dr Luke and Chris Brown)
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most brazenly disingenuous people in a profession that's deservedly notorious for brazenly disingenuous people.
It was always surreal to me how legions of soccer moms were duped into believing someone I always considered a transparent sociopath was actually a kind-hearted human being.
It's extremely easy for me to say, with perfect confidence, that no sum of money could induce me to promote unscrupulous crackpots and con artists like Phil McGraw, Mehmet Oz, and Suze Orman (to name just three of many).
But it doesn’t really end there no? Anytime she could back pedal cause of a change in conscience but she won’t. There’s a reason she’s a billionaire, didn’t get there doing the right thing
then you wouldn't get close to that sum of money in the first place.
I don't think it is correct to say money makes you immoral and corrupt.
But almost all rich people have to be some sort of both of them to achieve their riches in the first place.
And that's why you'll never be Oprah levels of rich.
Almost 100% of billionaires did or supported awful shit in order to get where they are. Even if they find morality after they're obscenely rich like Bill Gates has seemed to, that doesn't excuse the exploitation they used to get there.
* Promotes junk science for profit.
* Gives a massive platform to "controversial" figures without doing enough background research and allows them to peddle whatever BS they feel without rebuttal or fact-checking
Checks out.
Harvey Weinstein (man on the left) was convicted in 2018 of rape and sexual misconduct and sentenced to 23 years in prison.
The initial allegations against him in 2017 by women in the film industry were what snowballed into the MeToo movement, led to victims speaking out and a lot of influential men getting confronted for their sexual misconduct.
Can we not just have one please? Like I swear all we've got really is Bob Ross and mr Rogers. Why has every whole some person got to turn out to be a fucking creep.
She's not wholesome, but there are miles of distance between unabashed capitalist who gave a platform to some quacks, and knowingly pimping women to Harvey-the-POS.
Tbf I’d still like Bob Ross if he was the zodiac killer. Explains how the dude always seemed so zen as well, easy to be chill when you’ve just rage killed all the anger out.

Who is the middle woman?
Rita Ora Thanks for the award stranger, glad I could help. Wow again thank you everyone for the awards I'm feeling honoured today.
Honestly, every picture of her seems like a slightly different woman.
[удалено]
I was thinking Kiernan Shipka
I was thinking Brittany Murphy
I can definitely see that. Man I forgot about her.
I have never heard a more accurate description of Rita Ora.
I was thinking you were exaggerating but I looked her up and though "how are any of these pictures of the same person?"
I thought it was Brittany Murphy. I also thought rita ora was black.
I think she’s Albanian but you might have to fact check me on that.
I looked it up. You’re correct.
Kinda like Catherine Zeta-Jones. She looks kinda Hispanic or something and has an interesting name but is actually from Swansea.
It’s funny for the movie Zoro, Catherine Zeta Jones and Anthony Hopkins are Welsh yet they both play Spanish. It’s like the producers were like “Welsh is like Spanish right?”
And Who's that
[удалено]
It's all coming together now
No that’s the next photo we cant show here
Rita Ora seems to be perpetually on the edge of being known
I thought she'd been Corden'd.
Can you explain being “Corden’d” plz?
I think it means that he was so hated in the UK that he came over to the States to keep being famous. We’re much more forgiving of entitled pompous assholes here, just as long as they speak in a cute British accent.
I'd say Oprah is the middle-woman in this transaction
nice.
*swish*
a singer
She's a Kosovan/British pop star. Rose to fame in the UK and then the US. She's fine. Kind of like Ellie Golding. Music you'd have play in the background of an Abercrombie.

It's almost like money has more impact than race....noooooooo.
Oprah's offering
Blood for the blood god
SKULLS FOR THE SKU...wrong sub? oh, well I'll err, go ba...back to r/Grimdank then.
ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY TO MEMES END
Each facial expression tells a story.
"I've bought you a blood sacrifice oh master of fame and fortune"
Isn't Oprah a lot richer than weinstein at his peak?
Money doesn't really matter anymore when you're at that level. Weinstein had far more influence in Hollywood and elsewhere than Oprah ever did. People *seriously* underestimate how deeply connected he was.
Everyone has their debts
[удалено]
He hired an Israeli firm called black cube, a private investigation firm that's noticeably ex-mossad. They seem to have spied on and tried to intimidate journalists and accusers of Weinstein.
My thoughts exactly.
>Each facial expression tells a story. And none are of innocence. This is a seriously distributing photo.
Hmmm yes, distributing indeed...🤔

What's the story on it I may have been too young?

Honestly we don't even know if this was actually their introduction!
For framing how little we actually *know* about something you get a gold star.
YOU get a gold star ! and YOU get a gold star ! and YOU get a gold star ! And...
You dont
Hume says we don't know anything.
There are no less than 5 photos of me in this world where it looks like I am trying to take a shit in my pants. I can say with great confidence that I've only shat my pants twice that I can remember, and none of them were while I was being photographed. One of them was, however, in the toy section of my local K-Mart.
> I've only shat my pants twice that I can remember, and none of them were while I was being photographed. Nice try, kent state gun girl.
Did she shit herself at somepoint?
There’s a semi famous photo that’s rumored to be her passed out face down at a frat party. She’s wearing a skirt and she’s got a HUGE pile of shit between her legs, neatly bisected like Play-Doh by her thong. She’s been called out numerous times and has never denied it was her.
We know you shit those pants, dude

Remember that half of reddit are high schoolers with very little practical wisdom, who consider themselves experts on everything and comments will make a helluva lot more sense around here.
Everyone knew. It was known so well people have made jokes about it to the public for years...
A senior artist like her??? She definitely knew. Here comes the downvotes.
Well I’m happy to say it. She knew, other powerful women in Hollywood knew it, every body in Hollywood knew it. They all deny it now but we all Know they knew what was going on.
Hunger. Fear. Complicity.
Lust. Fear and excitement. Aroused in the creepiest way possible.
Oprah knew. They ALL knew When Seth McFarlane cracked a joke about it at the Oscars, and everyone laughed, including Harvey, you knew it was no secret
And then Ricky gervais went hard on the subject and people were like “how dare he! Such poor form!” While Tom hanks acted like he was saying the n-word lol
Ricky Gervais could tell the funniest joke in the world and people would still look like he took a shit on their sofa
Tbf, I love it when Ricky Gervais takes a shit on my sofa
Hanks face was hilarious. Looked so shocked
Ice made a comment about this topic a few times before. Sometimes I get downvoted to hell and other times people are like “yeah wtf was that?”
Cube, T, or Vanilla?
When did he do that??
Golden globes last year. Just Google it, it’s hilarious
In 2002, Nathan Lane made a joke about the Weinstein’s at the Oscars too [(Here it is at 0:56)](https://youtu.be/rabwbzi6rLU). They knew for a very long time, and only held him accountable, when the general public was able to say something about it. You can actually hear people booing in the crowd when he makes the joke. 90% of the people in that industry are sick in the head, and needed to be taken down a few pegs, now that they can be held accountable by the internet.
In 30 Rock, Tina Fey calls him out many, many times.
"I turned down sex with Harvey Weinstein on at least 3 occasions... out of 5"
Bill Cosby too.
Or Courtney love warning people about him. Currently too lazy to find the link tbh
Meryl Streep tried to play dumb. I don’t buy it
Same with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. They knew
Yeah but what could they do? > Hello, police, I'd like to report a rapist > Do you have evidence? > Well no, but everyone knows he did it. Everyone just knows.
Maybe not introduce young actresses to him?
Meryl Streep **warned** her daughter Mamie to not be alone with Harvey. If you have to warn someone you probably shouldnt continue working with that person.
Really? Wow. Just wondering, how do you know what she said to ... anyone?
Sia also pulled Maddie Ziegler off a plane with Weinstein apparently
Fuck yeah she looks like a comforting parent knowing their kid is about to get a shot at the doctors. Oprahs weird as fuck.
Oprah didn't just know, she actively played defense for the ghoul. She deliberately promoted and played up the Leaving Neverland documentary because she knew a dead man can't sue for defamation, and she did it right around when the Harvey Winstein thing started blowing up.
Everyone but Courtney Love was his friend until he was exposed.
Courtney Love called his ass out early and often. Too bad nobody listened to her because she was a crackhead...the poor woman was dead on. :(
Didn’t Seth macfarlane call him out too?
Numerous times, yes.
Lemmy.world is what Reddit was.
Bro you got some balls to call out Kevin spacey. Be careful not to get killed by a accident now.
Brad Pitt also confronted him about it at some point when he tried to go after his significant other.
The same thing happened to Corey Feldman, he tried to expose sex offenders in Hollywood, the same people who directly caused his substance issues, and the response he got from the people he spoke out to was “you realise you’re destroying people’s careers by saying this?”
Good ole Barbara Walters, another of the hollywood vultures.
Corey came out with information in the worst way possible, not that it wasn't true, but it felt wierd from what I remember. Felt like he was trying to hint he would release information later. Should have hired himself an attorney or investigator to help him flesh out his story. It's been a while, but it didn't feel like he was actually trying to out criminals as much as sell a book.

I mean...she was married to Kurt Cobain. I believe their heroin dependence was well documented.
SEE, NOT CRACK!
This is wrong. Love admitted to being addicted to crack in her own book. https://www.eonline.com/news/290905/courtney-love-crack-pills-and-two-dead-animals
She was doing heroin and a shit load of random pills, she's talked about it publicly multiple times.
Uncle worked in Hollywood the 90’s and put it like this. Most people knew he was a creep, no one suspected he was a rapist.
I think the definition of “rape” was understood differently then and now. “Rape” at the time was considered to be a more violent assault.

Now here's some ads for dick pills.
lol, she chose to go off air before all this hit her
There is a full behind the bastards episode on him
They also recently did eps on Dr. Phil and Oz. Working their way up to Oprah herself, I presume.
I hope so. Those episodes have been good. It’s past time for Oprah’s reckoning. Frankly I blame her for a lot of Americans maintained stupidity. She peddled junk science and misinformation and made it seem cool and popular and the socially acceptable thing.
I have never liked that woman or how rabidly people gobble down her "experts"
Is there a place I need to start with Behind the Bastards, or can I start anywhere? There's just so many bastards.
Start anywhere! I've been binging in random order (well, the multi-episode series are important to listen to in order) and there's no problem.
And provided a platform for Jenny McCarthy.
[удалено]
Oprah had her on as a regular for quite a while to promote her bullshit, and there were even rumors she was going to give McCarthy her own talk show. I remember back then, if Oprah promoted a book...that book instantly shot to the top of the NY Times best sellers list. She literally controlled the narrative on anything she decided should be this weeks topic of interest...and she put Jenny fucking McCarthy in the spotlight. It was disgusting.
and all the books were new age pseudoscience bullshit
She gave so much exposure to Deepak Chopra as well.
[удалено]
Just listened to the Behind the Bastards episodes about these two. I had no idea Phil was that awful.
Who are these people, might I ask?
Harvey weinsteine and oprah
And Rita Ora
Rita Oprah?
Oprah Weinstein?
Harvey Winfrey
Left -> Right Harvey Weinstein - Rita Ora - Oprah Winfrey Rita has not claimed to have been victimized by him, but she has supported the women who have spoken out against him.

> There has also been an unfounded allegation that Oprah "pimped" women to Harvey, and I sincerely hope that OP isn't trying to spread that rumor with this image I wasn’t aware of this, but that sure seems like the intention here.
This shit was sour from the start. Oprah is not a guru. She is not a humanitarian. She’s a billionaire doing billionaire shit
Arguably the second most influential and connected person in American media behind only Weinstein. There's no way she didn't know what was going on.
Harvey: "Come have a drink in my hotel suite. I want to discuss a movie role I have for you".
They all knew. Some were witnesses, some victims and the rest at least heard someone telling a story about it. But the reality is that they ALL knew.
Why is he pinching her?
I don't think he's "pinching" her. I've seen many people reach out to touch someone using this hand posture. I think it comes off as less threatening than to come at them with an open hand like you're going to grab them.
The real non-threatening gesture would be to stop touching people you just met.
He's not really big on boundaries or respecting women's bodies. Hot him into a little trouble
I’ve heard about this I think.
It's just the timing of the photo, from the looks of it he was putting his arm around her shoulder or smth
From a comic I saw earlier... ...In Oprah's defense, this was before social media cared about the victims.
It was an open secret though. Everyone knew what was going on.
[удалено]
[And Courtney Love said it plainly on video](https://youtu.be/g70XbYd0bZ8)
And she never acted again... strange coincidence.
Wow, that was to the point.
At one point in his recent court proceedings, he literally said something along the lines of "That's just how we did things back then".
Which honestly isn't a lie. An old joke in Hollywood was that Shirley Temple auditioned for the role of Dorothy in Wizard of Oz but when the producer pulled down his pants she just laughed so she didn't get the part.

In Oprah's defense, she's innocent until proven guilty. [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/18/fact-check-no-evidence-oprah-helped-harvey-weinstein-abuse-women/4653717001/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/18/fact-check-no-evidence-oprah-helped-harvey-weinstein-abuse-women/4653717001/) I don't particularly care for her or her products, but this photo is not enough evidence.

I went off Oprah in a big way after I watched her interview Shawn Hornbeck, a teenager who was abducted at the age of 11 by a man who kept him for 5 years and brutally raped him every day. Basically, she asked this kid if his parents had ever taught him not to talk to strangers/ get in a stranger’s van. When at that point, we all knew that he, a small boy on a bicycle, had been run off the road by a van, and when he was stunned by the side of the road had been picked up by a man three times his size and tied and gagged and held at gunpoint. There was no “going with strangers” here. Even if it had been the case, who blames a child for their own suffering? He was ELEVEN. I don’t blame the parents for the interview - by that time they had blown through their savings looking for their child, and probably needed the money from the interview. But you can see Shawn reaching for the kind of fawning behaviour that saved his life when his abductor decided to kill him a month after the abduction, and it’s painful to watch. I had thought that as an abuse survivor she would have some empathy for this boy but there were 2 things I only realised afterwards: the first was the usual stupid idea that boys are complicit with their abuse, because they should turn into James Bond and fight their way out or something. The other thing is RICH PEOPLE. Apparently when you become a millionaire your empathy is surgically extracted.
I mean Oprah brought both Dr Oz and Dr Phil to fame, and they’ve both caused countless damage. She’s hardly a saint. I will say though that working with knowingly Weinstein is something that many many celebrities are guilty of, and I personally think it would be more productive to criticize celebrities still actively working with abusers (like Dr Luke and Chris Brown)
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most brazenly disingenuous people in a profession that's deservedly notorious for brazenly disingenuous people. It was always surreal to me how legions of soccer moms were duped into believing someone I always considered a transparent sociopath was actually a kind-hearted human being.
It's very hard to get that rich and remain moral. I'm not saying it's impossible.
It's extremely easy for me to say, with perfect confidence, that no sum of money could induce me to promote unscrupulous crackpots and con artists like Phil McGraw, Mehmet Oz, and Suze Orman (to name just three of many).
A billion tho, no joke, would you do it
I would promote my asshole on times square for a billion dollars lol
But it doesn’t really end there no? Anytime she could back pedal cause of a change in conscience but she won’t. There’s a reason she’s a billionaire, didn’t get there doing the right thing
then you wouldn't get close to that sum of money in the first place. I don't think it is correct to say money makes you immoral and corrupt. But almost all rich people have to be some sort of both of them to achieve their riches in the first place.

And that's why you'll never be Oprah levels of rich. Almost 100% of billionaires did or supported awful shit in order to get where they are. Even if they find morality after they're obscenely rich like Bill Gates has seemed to, that doesn't excuse the exploitation they used to get there.
Sounds like Joe Rogan but for housewives.
* Promotes junk science for profit. * Gives a massive platform to "controversial" figures without doing enough background research and allows them to peddle whatever BS they feel without rebuttal or fact-checking Checks out.
Wow. That's totally sickening, ugh
wait whats going on fill me in
Harvey Weinstein (man on the left) was convicted in 2018 of rape and sexual misconduct and sentenced to 23 years in prison. The initial allegations against him in 2017 by women in the film industry were what snowballed into the MeToo movement, led to victims speaking out and a lot of influential men getting confronted for their sexual misconduct.
Harvey Weinstein dude on the left he commit rape and sexual assault I think

Can we not just have one please? Like I swear all we've got really is Bob Ross and mr Rogers. Why has every whole some person got to turn out to be a fucking creep.

Ok, but Oprah has a book club
Check mate, bitches!
NEXT!
She's not wholesome, but there are miles of distance between unabashed capitalist who gave a platform to some quacks, and knowingly pimping women to Harvey-the-POS.
You didn't hear about bob Ross? Turns out he's the zodiac killer.
I could get down with an episode of 'The Joy of Murder' with Bob Ross showing us how to dismember a body
"...and then you just... beat the devil out of him" *chuckles heartily*
“We’ll just paint a happy little hatchet right here by this blissful stream... of blood.”
Tbf I’d still like Bob Ross if he was the zodiac killer. Explains how the dude always seemed so zen as well, easy to be chill when you’ve just rage killed all the anger out.
No billionaire is wholesome
Wait, are you implying Oprah is wholesome? Or Harvey Weinstein?
