At this point, who hasnโt Harvey Weinstein fucked with? It might just be easier to keep track of that list of women, because the list of women who say theyโve had negative interactions with him continues to grow by the hour. Itโs like the worldโs sickest game of bingo.
Suggested Reading
Singer-actress Jill Scott wrote on Twitter Friday morning that Weinstein was so rude to her the first time they met, she has avoided him ever since.
โWhen I met Harvey Weinstein, he was RUDE. In the NASTIEST tone he said โWho told you to get pregnant?!โ And rolled his eyes in disgust,โ she wrote in the first of two tweets.
โI stayed away from him after. Who acts that way towards a pregnant woman?? Power to all the women bullied by assholes. Power in general.โ
Scott didnโt elaborate on where the incident occurred and gave no context for what led to Weinsteinโs statement, but even as a stand-alone comment, itโs a pretty disgusting thing to say to a pregnant woman.
Scott then alluded to maybe having had other negative experiences in Hollywood.
In a subsequent tweet she said, โWhatโs true is there are stories I will never tell publicly. I have my reasons and peace in those areas.โ
The common thread is that most women who have been sexually harassed, sexually assaulted or sexually abused have had at least one of those things happen to them more than once. And like Scott, many of them wonโt talk about most of those experiences.
โItโs a sick, sad worldโ is a real thing, and we are living in it every day.
