Did you look into Russell Crowe? He didn't address any of the Weinstein controversy when he was tied to the 2004 story that got killed, I just thought it was weird that Damon took the heat and he got off scot free
Thats so disappointing because I really wanted to see him get grilled for staying mum hoping it would go away and it actually didn't impact him:/ good job tho!
2 things were working against Damon, the first being that he and Ben were tied so closely with Weinstein from the beginning of their careers and the second that he had two movies that were being pushed as Oscar bait this year (both of which flopped HARD lol) so he had to do tons of press and got asked about what he knew a LOT.
This wasn't like a Casey Affleck situation where he could use his fame to leverage getting out of hard questions. The story was so big entertainment journalists had to ask him basic questions and he exposed himself for the cad he was every time.
Matt could’ve said the most basic shit and the public would’ve loved him for it
a lot of the public still does
there were big defenses of him on imgur - like, 'Damon is right, a "butt pat" and rape are different [as if that was the issue], finally someone speaks common sense!', with a chorus of agreement from the top comments - it was gross
i haven't read much about the reaction to his comments elsewhere, but from the little i've gleaned, the public seems to be leaning towards the 'SJWs are overreacting and trying to take a ~good man~ down' framing...hopefully, i'm wrong...
ugh imgur shows their ass on shit like this. I get that it's a mainly male audience (at least the commenters are) but I skip the comments on posts about feminism/women's issues/etc. They also seem to find every single case of a women falsely accusing a man of rape just so they can circle jerk themselves to death talking about how much worse that is than actual rape.
