Remember she attended Franco's acting school, which promised to use his productions as a way of advancing their careers. This put him in a position of power, like many teacher-student and boss-employee situations.

While there have been accusations of rape against Weinstein now, the initial allegations by the likes of Ashley Judd was him inviting young actresses to meetings, which ended up being in his hotel room, where he would try to convince them to have sex or massage him with the promise of advancing their careers (or stopping their careers if they didn't). It was about using his position and power to pressure women into doing something they did not want to do. Arguably, based on Tither-Kaplan account of what happened, Franco wasn't much different in that regard. |
but didn't hockeyboy said that it what Franco did would be ok with women because he's hot? it's only bad if fat ugly men do it.
gee. surprise that theory was shot to heck so soon. lol
Seal had a good comment/meme about Oprah the other day after so many people were gushing over her.

basically branded her a hypocrite for her speech as she herself did nothing.
he has a good point. Oprah is a billionaire and extremely powerful. She of all people could have done something and all she did was chase public adoration and the almighty dollar.
