Her husband is very political, rightfully so, and I find her statement to be very weak

What's the purpose of this word vomit?

I feel like we're gonna see a lot of people running for cover in Trump 2.0 era

I read it the article and it’s a shame she doesn’t regret working with him because it’s gross and he’s gross so idc about her other opinions on it tbh. I wonder if journalists ever ask Timothée Chalamet to reflect on working with him in the same film - I am not googling it I’m too lazy

I googled it since you asked, and publicly Timmy Chammy said he would donate his earnings from the film to a charity but that he did not want to state his opinion on the matter because it would upset people.

Woody Allen later said Chammy confessed to Allen's sister that he publicly donated his salary so he could run for an Oscar but that he very much enjoyed working with Allen. Oop.

I think the fact that woody’s movies were so well regarded (for some reason) and the fact that he was so easy to work with and treated actors so nicely makes everyone’s morals more fucked. Actors care more when the bad behavior is being done to them and their peers a la Weinstein, would surprise me if a bunch of them think it’s not their business or don’t believe it cause woody treated them well tbh

😬 yikes. Timmy is secretly a creep, too! And thank you so much for googling and sharing 💛

“ but I don’t think that we should be the ones who are doing judge and jury on this.”

Oh brother, so dramatic! Actually, Rebecca, I’m not sure everyone was expecting you or anyone else to get out a little gavel & robe and sentence Woody Allen to prison. Actually, what I think people might expect/hope is that collaborative artists choose not to work with men accused by their daughter of CSA. An impossible standard for some, I guess!

I don’t regret working with him. He gave me a great job opportunity and he was kind to me.

She really didn’t need all that word salad when everything is plainly said right there.

And to be fair to her, this mindset is incredibly widespread not just in Hollywood but in the wider professional world and within family and friendship dynamics too, and the reason why abusers everywhere rarely ever get their comeuppance.

If I had listened to other women when they said, "He's a terrible person, avoid him!" and not gotten wrapped up with a certain guy, I'd have been much better off today, but I was like, "He's nice to me, though!"

Turns out he was definitely a terrible person.

And this doesn't just go for situations like this - people can be nice to certain people, but be horrible people at home, or in other situations. Your experience is not the marker for all experiences relating to a certain person. You shouldn't just claim, "But they were always so nice to me!" especially when your relationship is professional only.

That’s the bit that jumped out to me too. He was nice to me so what he did to his daughter is not my problem.

I thought she was better than this "he was nice to me" bullshit.
