À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode of RealRealTalk, host delves into the dark legacy of Harvey Weinstein, a figure who epitomized the toxic power dynamics in Hollywood. Weinstein's reign was marked by fear, intimidation, and a systematic pattern of sexual abuse that persisted for decades, shielded by the industry's complicity. Bell outlines how Weinstein's influence allowed him to manipulate and coerce women, creating an environment where silence was the norm. The episode serves as the launch of a series titled "Problematic Hollywood Players," aiming to expose the underlying structures that enabled such predatory behavior in the film industry.The conversation highlights the pivotal moment in October 2017 when investigative journalism by the New York Times and the New Yorker brought Weinstein's actions to light, leading to a cultural reckoning that sparked the Me Too movement. Bell emphasizes the importance of understanding the systemic issues that allowed Weinstein to operate unchecked for so long, including the role of non-disclosure agreements and the industry's prioritization of prestige over safety. The episode concludes with a call for structural reforms to ensure accountability and protect future generations from similar abuses.NYT: “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades” — https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.htmlThe New Yorker: “Harvey Weinstein’s Accusers Tell Their Stories” — https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-storiesNYT: “Harvey Weinstein Is Convicted of Rape” — https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/24/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-verdict.htmlBBC Timeline: “Harvey Weinstein: Timeline of Allegations and Court Cases” — https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41594668Variety: “How Harvey Weinstein Used the Power of His Studio to Help Hide Allegations” — https://variety.com/2017/film/news/harvey-weinstein-studio-power-sexual-harassment-1202595251/AP: “Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison” — https://apnews.com/article/harvey-weinstein-sentenced-23-years-prison-9769f1b52dfc3e2d7f1d3c5f3f1d3e1aThe Guardian: “Harvey Weinstein: the rise and fall of a Hollywood mogul” — https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/10/harvey-weinstein-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-hollywood-mogulNPR: “Weinstein Case Prompts Reexamination Of How Powerful Men Are Held To Account” — https://www.npr.org/2017/10/16/558212610/weinstein-case-prompts-reexamination-of-how-powerful-men-are-held-to-accountHuman Rights Watch: “Beyond #MeToo: A Guide to Sexual Harassment in the U.S. Workplace” — https://www.hrw.org/report/2018/06/25/beyond-metoo/guide-sexual-harassment-us-workplaceReal Reel Talk is your weekly home for unfiltered deep dives into the world of film.
