Chapter 562: The Great Trend Has Gone
After the interview with the two major opinion leaders of Mi Rabbit was exposed and the Helen Show was broadcast, anyone with a keen sense of smell saw the direction of public opinion clearly, and the incident between Pitt and Big Ben seemed to be a rehearsal for people to know what to do next.
To everyone's surprise, Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow was the first to jump out.
After punching Pitt and kicking Big Ben's ex-boyfriends, she jumped out and lashed out at Harvey Weinstein, telling the story of how the other party harassed her several times and forced her to go to a hotel to provide a massage, and how she escaped with tact.
From traditional newspapers to television, from the internet to emerging social media, Harvey Weinstein is all over the place.
Entertainment is completely on the opposite side of Harvey.
"Hollywood's No. 1 villain!"
"Sexual assault Harvey Weinstein!"
"Harvey, the cancer of the industry."
Similar news is constantly popping up.
At Los Angeles International Airport, Rose McGowan got out of the terminal, hailed a taxi and went straight to the police station.
The heroine of "Planet of Terror" has waited too long for this day.
Harvey her, and laughed at her for not being beautiful enough, her skills were not good, and she smelled of foxes.
Intolerable!
Hundreds of reporters gathered on both sides of the road in front of the Beverly Police Department, with Warner TV, NBC and CNN OB vans parked nearby.
Rose McGowan shouted to stop the taxi early, and when she got out of the car, she tore her throat and shouted, "I'm a victim of Harvey Weinstein!" ME TOOοΌ I've been invaded by Harvey Weinstein! β
The camera in the hands of the reporters reacted faster than their heads, and they turned around at the first time.
Rose McGowan shouted the slogan of Rice Rabbit and walked towards the gate of the police station.
Although she is not even a second-tier, she is not an unfamiliar face to entertainment journalists, many know who she is, and have worked with Miramax and Weinstein Pictures many times.
Surrounded by reporters, Rose McGowan walked into the police station and reported to the LAPD that he had been robbed by Harvey.
Harvey's lawyer and deputy are going through bail procedures, and they will get Harvey out to preside over the overall situation first.
When the formalities were about to be completed, someone from the police station suddenly informed them: "Sorry, there is a new development in the case, and Mr. Weinstein cannot be released on bail for the time being." β
"Why?" Lombardo asked.
The lawyer took a tough attitude: "This is infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of my client......"
"Please allow me to finish." The officer interrupted him: "Another victim has just come to the police station to report the case and provided tangible evidence, Mr. Weinstein needs to stay for a while and cooperate with our investigation." β
Again? The lawyer knew that the situation was not good, and said something serious, but there was nothing he could do.
Lombardo again contacted the politicians they had funded in California, but the personal phone could not be reached, and the office phone was called, and there was a push to go on a trip or something.
Before, he felt that the Weinstein brothers were surrounded by good people.
Now the good guys are all gone.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Beverly Hills.
LΓ©a Seydoux checked her personal belongings one last time and made sure that the storage disk containing the video and audio recordings was in her bag.
Martin was answering the phone by the window when he hung up and said, "Today, two victims came into the police station to call the police, Rose McGowan and Aisha Argento. β
LΓ©a Seydoux asked, "Italian model and actress Elsa Argento?" β
Martin nodded: "Yes, they accused Harvey of being strong. β
LΓ©a Seydoux picked up her bag and said, "Now it's my turn." β
Martin said: "The hotel car is waiting for you at the door, don't worry, he can't turn over this time." β
"Thank you!" LΓ©a Seydoux came over and kissed Martin and said sincerely, "You gave me a chance to wash away my humiliation." β
Martin encouraged, "It was your courage that got you on this path. β
"I went." LΓ©a Seydoux left the room without hesitation, went downstairs out of the hotel and got in the car, and went straight to the Beverly police station.
Martin returns to Burbank Davis Studios.
It didn't take long for Louise to enter Martin's office with good news: "Kelly just informed me that Senator Erica was interviewed to give her opinion on the Harvey incident, and it's almost time to watch CNN." β
Bruce fetched the remote, turned on the TV, and went to CNN.
As soon as the punctual arrived, the CNN news went on the air, and Martin soon met Erica on the TV screen.
The senator from Georgia, who started out as a women's advocacy, highlighted Harvey Weinstein at a rally.
"In the past few days, I have watched the news that is updated in real time and it is very sad that Harvey Weinstein's behavior is unforgivable! The way he treats those fragile and gifted young women is unacceptable on any occasion! There should be zero tolerance for such despicable acts that degrading women should be taken anywhere in the world and in any workplace. β
Erica was so excited that she almost took out a pink kettle and took a big sip on the spot: "I call on the federal and California judicial systems to thoroughly investigate this matter!" β
Silally also spoke out, publicly reprimanding Harvey Weinstein for his actions.
Meanwhile, a press conference was held in front of San Francisco City Hall, attended by Mayor Gavin accompanied his wife, Jennifer Sibel.
In front of dozens of reporters, Jennifer recounted being robbed by Harvey in 2005 and announced that she would report to the Los Angeles police and fully cooperate with the Los Angeles police investigation, in addition to providing the little evidence she had kept.
She spoke out about Mi Tu and also called on other victims to take the initiative to stand up and say Mi Tu: "I know it's a terrible thing to stand up to sexual abuse and oppression, but we must unite and let everyone remember our voice, which is the power of women, and even more so our strength!" β
Gavin hugged his wife vigorously and said to the media camera: "I unreservedly support my wife and face the difficulties and pain with her, because I believe that justice will come, and I will do my best to help her, help all the victims, and get back the fairness and justice that belongs to them!" β
He used to give people the impression of a playboy and an abusive cheating man, but this time he fully supported his wife, showing a brave, upright, family-friendly and responsible image.
The scene resounded with extremely warm applause.
Gavin doesn't just talk about it, he has already mobilized his own political and media resources.
This is no longer a simple case, it is developing into a social movement that has swept across the United States.
Gavin, Erica and Silari, political creatures with a keen sense of smell, know very well that they can reap political benefits from them.
They all joined in.
When the wall falls, there is no need to push it again, and all that remains is to throw the ruins into the cliff and fall into powder.
The lawyer found that it was too difficult to get Harvey on bail, and victims kept coming into the police station to report to the police, and LAPD needed Harvey's assistance in the investigation according to the procedure.
Because the video and audio Bob sent to Los Angeles corresponded to some of the victims who reported the crime, the police applied for an arrest warrant as quickly as possible.
The entire Hollywood, the entire Los Angeles, and even the entire American entertainment industry have become a mess.
Reporters were excited, digging deeper into Harvey's case and discovering a direction for news expansion that would attract the public's attention.
Interview Harvey's former close friends and ask them to give their opinion on the matter.
This kind of thing is simply too interesting, and it will definitely attract the people who eat melons.
As a result, the paparazzi haunted the homes and workplaces of Quentin, Robert Rodriguez, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, and Meryl Streep.
Meryl, who had a close relationship with Nicholson, took the lead in becoming a traitor, and the performance artist, who publicly chanted "Harvey, my god", not only publicly stated that he would break with Harvey, angrily denounced Harvey's shameless behavior, but also called for him to be severely punished!
Judy Dench, who has Harvey's name tattooed on her buttocks, washes off her tattoos as if nothing has happened, saying that she has no knowledge of Harvey's evil deeds and will never cooperate with him again in the future, fully supporting Mi Rabbit and so on.
Members of the Foot Gang, like Quentin, Rodriguez and Matt Damon, left the Foot Gang with little resistance.
However, these people claimed not to know what Harvey had done.
Charlize Theron, by contrast, was much more sincere in her words in an interview: "I'm not surprised at all by what Harvey did, because he harassed me, and it's a long-standing practice in Hollywood. β
She specifically mentioned: "I also reminded some later actresses to be careful when working with him, and if he asks you to go to the Four Seasons Hotel, it's best not to go." β
In just a few days, Hollywood stars have stood in line, all on the opposite side of Harvey Weinstein.
Because the number of victims who reported to the Los Angeles police has exceeded 50 people!
Among them, there are many actors like Aisha Argento and Rose McGowan who have a certain degree of popularity.
Erica and Sillaly's statements and promotions, Gavin and Jennifer's press conference, and even politically announced Harvey's death sentence.
However, none of this is a big deal, and the most jaw-dropping thing happens.
After a board meeting, Weinstein Pictures called a press conference, and a spokesman announced the board's resolution.
In light of Harvey Weinstein's actions, the Board of Directors unanimously decided to remove Harvey from the Board of Directors and remove him from all positions at Weinstein Films.
Bob Weinstein is the new chairman and CEO of Weinstein Pictures!
When the news was relayed through the lawyer's mouth to Harvey, who was still in detention because of the continuous appearance of victims, the movie mogul who had dominated Hollywood for 20 years seemed to be 30 years old.
"How could he do that! How could he do that! β
Bob's betrayal, ten thousand times heavier than Georgina's betrayal, dealt a blow to Harvey, and everyone else was in a trance: "Why did Bob do this? Why? β
No one could answer him, not even the lawyer's mind, that Harvey was gone.
