Column: Watching a pathetic Harvey Weinstein make his way to court is already a win (via latimesopinion)
Harvey Weinstein hobbled into a New York court Monday, leaning on a walker cushioned by two bright green tennis balls. Bent and shuffling, he no longer appeared to be the entitled movie mogul who believed he could help himself to any woman he desired.
In an excellent turn of events, he may also face a second criminal trial. On Monday, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey announcedagainst Weinstein involving alleged sexual attacks on two women in hotels in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills in 2013, just before that year’s Oscars. I can’t look at Weinstein without thinking about Bill Cosby, who finally got what was coming, and now sits, remorseless, in a Pennsylvania jail. Or men like Matt Lauer, Les Moonves, Charlie Rose and dozens of others who lost their jobs but never really took responsibility for their actions.Certainly, that’s the case in the upper professional echelons.
On Monday morning, I watched a live feed of Weinstein’s courthouse entrance, then a nearby press conference by seven of his accusers, including McGowan, Rosanna Arquette and TV journalist Lauren Sivan. They call themselves the Silence Breakers. “Living in silence,” McGowan said, “is a death sentence for your soul.”The women watched as Weinstein entered the court flanked by attorneys and beefy bodyguards.Sivan genially introduced herself as “the potted plant girl.
