Two decades ago, the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein invited Ashley Judd to the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel for what the young actress expected to be a business breakfast meeting......... Emph. mine
Why WAIT for two decades ? Why not speak out immediately ? Even if it cost Ms. Judd her career... she would've had a much stronger case if she'd gone public back then and not waited so long !!

Accusations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood entertainment mogul, cost him a close adviser on Saturday and may have lost his company a high-profile series of books.

And following the incendiary claims from actress Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan has slammed the women of Hollywood for their deafening silence.
Demanding to know where the 'ladies of Hollywood' were on this issue, McGowan - who is believed to have been paid a $100,000 settlement by Weinstein after an incident in the mid-1990s - appeared to attack the mute A-listers. Emph. mine
McGowan should really give back the settlement money -- because it makes it look like she settled for his alleged behavior. Imo.
I thought this case should go in the 'up to the minute' section as he's only been accused-- and neither tried , nor convicted.
Sad anyway. A person should be able to get ahead in the acting career without having to sacrifice any of their morals or beliefs.
Just state that you do not care for any intrusions whatsoever into your privacy !
But if someone will not respect you --speak up immediately and very publicly. Don't remain silent for 20 years or more.
After all of that time-- it's like 'he said, she said'.
There's just no concrete proof that Weinstein has actually done anything.
NOT defending him if he actually treated people in a disrespectful manner.
And it's sad that the accusers' have to have proof (video, audio, or witnesses) of their allegations... but without it they will not get very far.
