I haven't seen anyone claim it's only a Hollywood issue. But there are reasons why the entertainment industry is particularly vulnerable to this sort of abuse of power:
* Industry where most people are free agents who rely on personal relationships and recommendations for work.
* Ferociously competitive winner-take-all business where the top talent have 100x more money, power, and influence than the average people on the job.
* Industry where stars are not easily replaceable and routinely make outrageous demands of all sorts to satisfy their egos.
* Work environment where people are often in trailers and hotel rooms.
* Social environment where alcohol and drug abuse are common.
* Social environment where promiscuity and adultery are the norm (nobody remarks in wonder then a teacher or accountant has remained married to the same person for 15 years).
* People often working late hours away from home.
