This October Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was out as a sexual predator. Actresses had complained about constant harassment during castings and groping on the sets, however their agents and fellow actors persuaded the victims that a formal accusation was not in their best interests. His behavior went with the territory of the Sunset Strip.
Finally the women had had enough and an article appeared in the New York Times and New Yorker published articles outlining his crimes against women. His company ousted him as chairman and his cohorts were also canned for either not acting on the sexual harassment charges or being part of his entourage.
Harassment complaints were followed by accounts of rape and the LAPD began a long overdue investigation into the accusations, but Harvey Weinstein was not alone.
Kevin Spacey, director James Toback, and Ben Affleck covered Hollywood.
Senator Al Franken acted in a totally unbecoming manner.
President George Bush was filmed slipping his hand up a reporter’s dress, while he was in a wheelchair.
Comedian Louie CK was also accused by a number of women.
The list went on and on.
I had to ask myself, if I had harassed a woman.
Not in recent history, since I have been faithful to both my wives for sixteen years, but there was a time when I was also a bad man and I am sorry.
Mea Culpa.
Mea Maxima Culpa.
Es Tut mir lied.
Desole.
Kor Thot.
I shall try and be a good man to women.
I promise.
