Lol you changed your avatar.Milkshake Damon is....a face on a poster
This fall in theaters. Weinstein will be back I guarantee it.
We should be clear that there is no claim that Damon or Crowe (at this point) helped bury a story about unwanted sexual advances by Weinstein. They called to vouch for Mr. Lomabardo (the former head of Miramax Italy) relating to if he was doing actual work on behalf of Miramax. From the authors original NYT story:
But they ran the article along with the quotes from Crowe and Damon.
Look, Weinstein in a shitbag. But it doesn't mean that Crowe or Damon helped him out just by providing background quotes on Lombardo doing actual work.
There is zero allegation in this article that
1) Lombardo paid off the woman in London
2) Damon or Crowe had anything to do with covering up or burring a story on Weinstein
In fact, this article is conflating several things and fails to mention that Lombardo was fired for having a second undisclosed job at the same time.
Facts do matter and going on a witch hunt is just going to give cover to those who actually did do something wrong by creating noise which will allow people to dismiss claims against people that are actually proven.
Seems like a lot of people are jumping to conclusions based on this poorly worded article
Whether or not he was complicit with the weinstein scandal is up in the air, but this article sure as hell does nothing to confirm that
I don't doubt that a lot of actors and actresses and producers and directors let this go unmentioned though either in their own self interests or out of fear of being reprimanded by one of the more powerful ppl in Hollywood
0 to 100 with the milkshake duck stuff in here though lol
This is the way to do itI just assume everyone sucks and I'm rarely surprised.
Impressive list of people who have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old in this topic on top of being rather spiteful of both of these actors lol
Everybody in Hollywood dirty.
Long as Idris, Denzel and Papa Hanks are clean I'm okay.
A lot of us have good reading comprehension. We also know Hollywood. Damon and Crowe took the extra step to vouch for Lombardo during a story about him securing women for Weinstein, a story that was also about a woman being paid off for her unwanted sexual encounter. They basically vouched for Weinstein's Italian pimp and helped kill off a story. No one is saying they are complicit in ehat Weinstein did. This is a Hollywood that claps child molesters. A Hollywood that has known about Weinstein for decades but now wants to pearl clutch because the truth is out there. Lisa Bloom came out so strong against Cosby and even Usher in some herpes case but only resigned from Weinstein defense after it became known there was no shot he had from containing this.

...That's not what the article actually says though.
You didn't even read the mod edits either!
I did read. Read my post again. I never said Lombardo is the one who paid off the woman. Also, them vouching for Lombardo was a factor in not moving aheas with the article. So make of that what you will.
But they did go ahead with the article, just not with anything to do with sexual harassment/assault because they didn't have enough proof. The editor moved it to a culture topic and dropped the sexual assault stuff.I did read. Read my post again. I never said Lombardo is the one who paid off the woman. Also, them vouching for Lombardo was a factor in not moving aheas with the article. So make of that what you will.
They were famous people that came through in hour 11 to stop an article from being published... They used their celebrity status to literally censor the press.
If there was nothing to the allegations... Why did the weinstein company work so hard to have it supressed
Read between the lines
I only look up to the ones I never hear about. That's how I know they have a squeaky clean image.I'll always shake my head at people looking up to celebrities.

The only thing Damon and Crowe did was verify that the Lombardo guy did actual press work on their films. It doesn't even matter what the company's motives were in asking Damon or Crowe to do this if those two verified they worked with him truthfully. Reading between the lines any further is straight making stuff up to fit your agenda at this point.
Because they were proving the initial premise of the article incorrect - that Lombardo was only hired for the escort part and not the film part. Assuming the allegation is correct, the issue is that Lombardo did enough "film" work that anyone not named Weinstein would assume he did studio head type work.
Weinstein != Damon or Crowe. The dishonesty of the author is in trying to imply that Damon and Crowe were in the complete know of what Lombardo did, rather than just being asked to provide background info on Lombardo. If someone calls me asking if one of my coworkers actually does work, and they do, I am gonna tell them that they do work. Notice she doesn't mention that Crowe or Damon know anything about the allegations or anything else besides "Does Lombardo work at Miramax Italy?"
Never expected MATT DAMON.

Honestly her article wasn't great and full of innuendo...but from what we know it was common knowledge what kind of person Harvey was among the Hollywood elite.. They knew who they were putting their reputations on the line for.
Can anyone summarize the whole situation? I have no idea what's going on other than the Weinstein was fired yesterday.

Huh they did? What source confirms this, I haven't heard about this yet.When you learn Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Lawrence, etc. knew, you shouldn't be surprised by it.
1. There was once a man named Lombardo who headed up Miramax Italy.
2. A reporter thought his only job was to get hookers for Weinstein.
3. A couple famous actors told her that Lombardo actually worked on movies.
4. The paper she worked for said she couldn't say that Lombardo only procured hookers.
And talked shit about Obama.

It's easy to see how guys like Trump can become president with fools like this. Ready to take anything at face value, totally controlled by raw emotion.
