So you heard her here. She said, no, no, no. He was Overpowering. This is how this happened to her. And by the way, Gloria Allred, I gotta. I gotta give it to that woman. She has really perfected the craft of ambulance chasing, right? Using press conferences to persuade the masses with a lot of sobbing, right? And it doesn't really matter at that point whether or not what she says in the press conference is going to be the same thing that she says in the courtroom. Because people are paying attention to the press conference and probably not going to follow the courtroom. And I gotta tell you that as detailed as that press conference seems, Mimi does, in fact, leave out some important details. And she also edits some details when she gets on the stand, which we will get to. But the. The important thing to know is that Harvey was indicted by a grand jury in 2018. And Mimi. Mimi's testimony was therefore taken sometime before then. But by the time that she hit the stand, she, in 2020, had edited that testimony a little bit. Even from the grand jury indictment to the stand, there were some things that had changed. She had included some epithets which we'll get into. So first we should just get into how she and Harvey met. This is all according to Mimi. This is her story. She first met Harvey Weinstein back in 2004, and then she approached him two years later in 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival, because she was looking for work in the industry after her mentor, quote, unquote mentor, famed London producer Michael White, had suffered a stroke and lost his business. So that's her. And see her young, looking young and beautiful. And there she is with Michael White, a producer in London, who she said became her mentor. Now, it's worth mentioning that by mentor, she means that after she met him once and they exchanged numbers, she visited him and decided to stay with him during that visit in London. And you can see she looks young. He looks quite old. Yeah, she was in her 20s. He was in her 60s. She told this, by the way, to Vanity Fair, that he then became a father figure to her and that they enjoyed a, quote, unquote, unconventional, platonic relationship. Okay. That's how she spent her 20s. Besides that guy Michael brushing shoulders because he was a big producer with Kate Moss, the Rolling Stones, Princess Diana at her father figure's house. And then she went on to become his personal assistant. Like I said, he then had a stroke, okay? Her father figure, boss man had a stroke. And so with Michael White no longer able to provide that kind of support, she decided to perhaps look for another father figure. I'm not sure I contextualize that. But she approached Harvey Weinstein at the Cannes film festival in 2006. Now, I want to be clear that in 2006, Mimi would have been just about to turn 30 years old. Okay? In other words, she was not a Hollywood spring chicken. I think that's really important. You've seen throughout this podcast, I've always tried to stress what a woman's age is because it's important. It's important to differentiate between someone who's, you know, 17 years old, someone who's 15 years old, someone who. Who is 30 years old, a fully formed adult woman, because it changes the context or it makes you, I guess, think about how helpless and unsure and uncertain they were. And yeah, Mimi was about to turn 30. This is. That's where this story begins with Harvey Weinstein. She was not in her early 20s anymore. So our story goes that Harvey invited her after she approached him to meet him at his company's hotel in Cannes, the Majestic Hotel. And right away, it was a horrible experience. Okay? She was humiliated because she got to his hotel room and they have a little bit of conversation. And then he does this really crazy thing. He asks her for a massage. And she's confused because she's thinking she's coming up here to talk about potentially getting a job, talking about career aspects, and she instead offers to call downstairs to get him a. Get him a massage. And then he turns it around and he says that he instead wants to give her a massage. And she's humiliated. Like I said, she testified that she was so humiliated that when she left that hotel room, she broke down crying. Yeah, that's not what she was expecting when she went into this guy's hotel room. Which is why what happens next gets interesting. Now, her memory super fuzzy on how exactly it happened, but she then gets a temporary job on Project Runway, which was at that time being produced the Weinstein Company. And to be clear, they had already been filming this series. They were deep into production and reminding you again that she is not an American citizen. So she. He hooks her up with this job again. Who knows? She has no. Did I speak to his assistant? I don't know why I don't remember any of this. And she begins working for as a production assistant on the show for several weeks. And she's paid in cash because her visa did not allow her to work in the United States. Shooting then wraps. And by the way, while she's living in New York, while she moved to New York for this opportunity, she's living with a friend of hers in The East Village. And after shooting wraps, she reaches out to Harvey to thank him for the opportunity. So despite this really uncomfortable, humiliating experience in his hotel room, she gets this job. Then she just wants to thank him for the opportunity. And he invites her for a drink at the Mercer Hotel in New York City. And she describes that experience as very pleasant. She met him on June 26, 2026, at the lobby. In the lobby of the Mercer Hotel. And she testified that he was, quote, very respectful, even charming. He offered at that time to have her return to Project Runway the following season. And the next day, on the 27th, she's going to. To his office to see somebody else. And she then also stops by his office, and he gives her a book that she should read. And then he offers to give her a ride home to her apartment after that meeting at his offices. And he also says to her, like, you should come on my private jet. We can go to Paris the next week. We can attend this fashion show. You can stay with me. You can stay up the Ritz. And she says that she declines that offer. They get out of the car. His assistant, by the way, male assistant, is also in the car. He's like, oh, this is where you live? This is the building that you live in, these fields? She's like, yeah, I guess Harvey was just paying attention to the layout or something. At least that's what you're left when you get through the transcripts. That's kind of the impression that you get that Harvey was kind of just monitoring and really wanted to know where this. Where this young woman lived. She said that she didn't want to go to Paris, but she says that he didn't take no for an answer. And she testified that she had no intention of doing so, but an effort. Effort to be polite. She said to him that she would let him know, maybe I will go to Paris. And that Weinstein called her repeatedly. And then later on, he comes back. He shows up at her apartment for the second time that day. And now we're gonna jump right into this court transcript. I mean, I can only imagine this is the most powerful man in the world, and he's going to this East Village apartment. So the question that she gets asked on the stand is, did you act in any way romantically interested in Harvey Weinstein? She says, no. Did you act in any way sexually interested in Harvey Weinstein? No. Did you hear from Harvey Weinstein once he left your apartment and you went inside? Yes. At that point, was your roommate Liz at home? She was not. Was Peanuts there. Peanut was, is, is Liz's dog? I believe so. Describe the additional contact. Well, I heard from him and his assistant a few times that day asking if I had decided whether or not I was going to go to Paris. And I said, thank you so much, but no, I am not going to come. He said, well, just think about it again, you know. And he kept calling and I kept saying thank you so much, but no. And question, those initial communications that you were describing, were those phone calls? Answer I'm not. I believe they were phone calls, yes. Question and that was to that phone number that you had in your planner and that you were using at that time when you were in New York? She answers I believe so. I'm not a hundred percent sure that they were phone calls, but I it's more like they were phone calls than emails. Question can you describe Harvey Weinstein's tone during those conversations of those phone calls? She answers well, he was persistent and. Persistent. And what if anything happened sort of following those repeated phone calls? Well then later he showed up unannounced at the apartment building and I am not sure if he rang the intercom or whether he called me on the phone and said he was outside, but he had shown up there unexpectedly. Question did you try to get him to leave via phone? Initially I did. I, he wanted to come inside and I said it wasn't a good time. And so he said, you know, just talk to me like 5 minutes, I want to see you for 5 minutes or something like that. Question. And so after you had said that it wasn't a good time, did he remain outside of your building? Yes, he wouldn't leave. And can you describe his tone at that point? It was just very persistent and insistent. And what did you do? Well, I didn't want him to come into the apartment, so I thought I will go out and see him outside, just like outside by the door. So I left the doors open to go outside to open the front door. And as soon as I opened it, he just pulled it apart like that and barged past me and walked down the hallway and said where is it? Where is it? And he was pointing and he saw obviously the door was open and he just walked into the apartment. Let me just come out of this transcript for a second. So Harvey Weinstein reappeared at her apartment and she doesn't kind of maybe sort of remember the phone call. Ish. The phone call details are always a bit hazy when you go through this transcript. But she knows that he, she only went outside because she didn't want him to come inside. But Harvey's. She's given a narrative. He's crazy. He's like, where is it? Where is it? I want to see your East Village apartment. And just bursts past her and barges in and somehow finds exactly which apartment it was because the door was open, and he just took a guess. That is power, my friends. Anyway, jumping back into this, the lawyer asks, and what did you do? I mean, I was just standing there, like, I didn't. I didn't know what to do, so I just like, oh, God. Oh, no. Why is he walking into the apartment? Describe what happened. Did. Did you go into the apartment? Did you follow him into the apartment? Yes. And describe what happened once you were inside of the apartment. Well, once we were inside of the apartment, we were just standing there, and he was basically standing there. He asked a few things about the apartment and who I was living with, and then he was persisting with trying to convince me to go with him on this trip to Paris. I mean, he must have really wanted her to go on the trip to Paris. Question. Do you remember anything about the details of what he was saying at that point? Answer. Well, at one point, he said, okay, well, why don't you just take your roommate? If that will make you come, she can come too. She can be your chaperone or whatever. What was your responses to his request? Well, I was still trying. I felt. I was just saying, thank you so much, but no, thank you. Basically, I'm not going to come. Can you describe his demeanor in the apartment as he is making these repeated requests? He was just very overwhelming, and he wasn't. He was just very, very persistent. And he was still friendly, but it was almost beggy. And he was kind of very insistent and would not just take. Just accept the no. Did you continue to hold your ground and say that you were not going to go with him? Yes. Was he listening? And then there's an objection here from Harvey's attorney. So he rephrases the question. Was he continuing to ask you to go? Yes. At some point, did he stop asking you to go? Yes. Can you describe that? Well, at one point I had, because I just didn't know how to shut it down, so to speak. I just said something that I have. You know, I was trying to say things, and I said, you know, you have a terrible reputation with women, I have heard. And it was more like half a joke or something. I was trying to be friendly still. But he got offended by that, and he stepped back and he said, what do you mean what have you heard? That sort of thing? And I said no. I'm just saying, like, no, just in general, like, whatever. But that's when he backed off. At that point, did he leave your apartment? Yes. And I'm going to show you that I have marked as People's Exhibits 65 through 69. Do you recognize the People's Exhibit 65 through 69? I do. What do you recognize those to be? So this is the front door of the apartment building where I lived during that time. So I wanted to just describe to you that incident because it's important to understand. So she starts with this hotel incident and then. And can. And now we've moved and she's, you know, gets a ride. And I guess he's just decided to memorize her little East Village apartment. And he's barged in, luckily, found the apartment. Cause he could tell from this door that that must be hers. And he walked in there and she follows. And then despite this beast and monster chasing her, she's able to get him to back off with just this one sentence. Oh, you have a bad reputation with women. Her memory then gets a little bit fuzzy. I gotta tell you. She doesn't remember again exactly how they communicated. But she acknowledges that she accepts an invitation for Weinstein to fly her out to California, Los Angeles for the premiere of Clerks 2, a movie in July of 2006. She frames that as like, you know, I felt bad I didn't go to Paris, but she's gonna go to la because also the timing works out for her because her friend just had a baby. But then something happens. Okay, Before Mimi flies out to LA on July 10, 2006, Harvey invites her to his SoHo apartment. And that's what you heard her crying about. He forcibly performs a sexual act on her. Now, even if you knew nothing about this case, just this sentence alone that I'm about to show you from 2020 when the trial was going on. AB news article that was covering the trial would probably make you go, huh? It reads, quote, one of the two women that Harvey Weinstein is on trial for sexually assaulting took the witness stand on Monday to describe how the Hollywood producer violently and sexually assaulted her and to explain why she returned to him within a month and endured a second unwanted sexual encounter. Wait, okay, so she's taking the stand to explain why after a violent sexual forcible assault, she then went back to him within a month to endure a second assault? That doesn't sound right. But yeah. Mimi's allegations were that on July 10, 2006, Harvey Weinstein forcibly performed a sex act on her. Then she went to LA on his dime, by the way. And when she returned on July 26, 2006, so we're talking two weeks, it happened again. Mimi alleges that when she returned from LA to New York City about two weeks later, Harvey invited her to the Tribeca Grand Hotel for a drink. And she agreed. She. She said, quote, he was very persistent and insistent. She explained her going back by saying, quote, I was still trying to make sense of what had happened, why it had happened, and I felt very trapped in not being able to do anything about it. She said she felt like she was trying to regain some sort of power until she walked in to meet him on July 26, 2006, wearing a battered pair of vintage shoes with little money and no family in the US by the way. So she testified, quote, I just felt like some sort of hobo, just like a girl who's just down on her luck. You know what I mean? Yeah. Park aside, the fact that you're. We're talking about a grown adult woman, she was down on her luck, and she really was just kind of going there to regain power. But she testified that when she arrived at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, she was directed to Weinstein's room, where, I mean, call me crazy, I maybe wouldn't have gone to his hotel room again. But, like, this is a different. It's different. She's going again to regain power. And this is where she claims that he took her hand and he pulled her toward a bed. And she says, at that moment, quote, I just went numb. Because she realized right then that Weinstein had trapped her again. She testified, quote, I just felt like an idiot in the courtroom. This is the moment where she trembles and she weeps and she puts her hands in her head. Because if you don't. If you're thinking about asking questions about that or wondering if there's an aspect of common sense here, maybe don't go back to a hotel room, don't let him into your apartment, anything like that. The point is, now she's crying on the stand, and crying counts for a lot on the stand. You'll learn that a lot throughout this case. Now, I want to take you through when Harvey's lawyer is able to question her, because it gets quite interesting. And if you go back to that original encounter at the Cannes Film Festival, he asks her, and this is the top of 1638, Skylar, he asks her, remember, this is when he's supposed to Be the massage incident. At an initial one, he's realizing, I have some questions, even though she's crying. And Damon Chernis is. His name is the lawyer. And he says, that assistant brings you up to the room. And she says, correct. And then he says, do you remember what you did earlier that day on the 24th at the Cannes Film Festival? Do you remember where you went? I don't. When you get to the Hotel Majestic, you get brought to Mr. Weinstein's room, right? Yes. The two of you, according to your testimony, have a brief conversation about whatever. Yes. At some point you say Mr. Weinstein asks you about massages? Yes. He asked if you'll give him a massage or at some point if he can give you a massage, Right. Correct. At this point, you told the members of the jury that you were very upset, to say the least, right? I was offended, yes. You were offended because this was a business meeting that you thought you were going to potentially talk about Project Runway. No, not Project Runway at this point. Something else. I allegedly. I went there to meet him to ask if he had anything, any production work that I could help on. Yes. During the course of that meeting, is. Is it your testimony Mr. Weinstein propositioned you with a massage? Right. Repeat. Propositioned you with a massage? He did, yes. And you were humiliated is the word you used. I was. You left and you left the room. You testified you started crying once I left the hotel. And when did Mr. Weinstein give you his phone number? During the course of that. I don't recall when he actually gave it to me. Somebody's phone number is usually the last thing that you get, right? Objection, says her lawyer. Probably, she says. The court says overruled. Was it after Mr. Weinstein had made these propositions and you were walking out the door that he gave you his phone number? Objection. Mr. Hass said. Mr. Hass says the court overrules that objection. She answers, possibly. Probably. Then you said at some point later, you received a call from Mr. Weinstein, but you don't really remember it? I don't really remember if it was from Mr. Weinstein himself or an assistant. But somebody came through to arrange for me to go help out on Project Runway. Mr. Weinstein gave you his number? Yes. I may have followed up with his office. So we are clear, you called Mr. Weinstein's office after this massage request? Yes. And when you called Mr. Weinstein's office, who did you talk to? Actually, I'm not sure, but yes. Yes. Were you thinking in your head at this time this massage incident Occurred. Why am I going to call this guy for a job? No, I needed a job. And isn't it true that Project Runway was already in production at that point? Correct. And being in the production industry, you are aware it was probably fully staffed by the time that you would have gotten involved? Correct. And she answers, yes. Well, it's interesting testimony there. Yeah, she needed a job and kind of has to admit, like, yeah, maybe she got his number on the way out of that horrible massage incident in which she cried. And then maybe she reached out to his office about that position, which wasn't really an open position, but required someone with power to kind of make the position for a person who isn't supposed to be working in the US Just kind of happen. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not. I'm not alleging anything. Okay? But the point is, I'm just reading you the testimonies that are going on. And then Damish Chernis is able to question her again. Of course, he questions her throughout this entire thing. But about that incident on July 26, when she just can't explain how she got trapped again by him at another hotel. And here is from that transcript. Ternus asks her, on the 26th of July, you had sex with Harvey Weinstein. Correct? There was sex with Harvey Weinstein? Yes, she replied. Shortly after, Charonis asked her, he didn't force you to have sex, did he? I didn't physically resist, she replied. Do you remember testifying before the grand jury that the sex was not forced? Correct, because I didn't resist. Hale, he said, uh, he also then challenges her. According to this article, her rec. Her recollection on the stand where she now says that he called her a B, I, T, C, H, and that he called her a whore. And that was something that she had not recounted in her initial interviews with prosecutors. She found that to be very strange. Like when you were in front of that grand jury in early 2018, you never said any of this stuff. And here's how she replied. She said, quote, I think that is something that I remembered later. She said, okay, okay, let's just take her at her face value here. Listen, I'm not here to not believe women. Let's take everything she said into account because again, Harvey gets 20 years. Okay? And if. And I. I hate being a person with common sense. So I. I'm happy for you guys to comment. Let me know what you think. I would expect that after having survived two sexual assaults, after having survived with one powerful sentence, you have a Bad rotation with women having survived, him having barged into her apartment, plus the weird massage incident in the room that began it all. I would surmise that Mimi Halehi, now done with that in the past, Project Runway situation over, that she would have maybe just stayed away from Harvey Weinstein altogether. Is that fair? I'll look in the chat. Is that fair? Is it fair to go? Okay, maybe just stay away from this guy. He's Bad News bears. Like, if you're not going to go to the cops, you're too scared. Fine, but just stay away from him. And if you think that is fair, or if you think it's not fair, I would I invite you to tell me why it isn't. I can tell you the answer. She didn't stay away from him. She didn't stay away from him after her sexual. Various sexual assaults in 2006. You're going to be rather surprised to learn that she instead would send Harvey Weinstein emails. He conducts his emails always through his assistance. And she sent Harvey Weinstein this email two years after her double assault. This email went out on Friday, June 27, 2008. He writes, she wrote. Hi, Harvey, how are you? It's great to see you in Cannes. I notice an article in today's New York Post about the Addams Family being turned into a Broadway musical just to remind you what a genius I am. Didn't I tell you that was a great idea? Like 3 years ago at the Mercer Bar. Lots of love, Miriam. Oh, lots of love. I was not expecting to read Lots of Love. Now, I want to be honest. I've never been raped. I've never been sexually assaulted. But I would imagine in a world where that happened to me, I probably wouldn't send an email and say lots of love to the person that had conducted those sexual assaults. That's just me again. I could be in a totally crazy space. Happy to hear you guys come. You know, explain to me why that sometimes happens. And so specific. And she's kind of going back to the. The Mercer Bar. She says they had. They had that great time together that was just right before he scop out her apartment, barged in. And she doesn't seem to be concerned about that. And to be clear, Harvey replied to her three days later. Sounds like a busy guy, maybe wasn't giving her the attention that she needed or wanted. And he replied on the 30th and he said this to her. Miriam, you are a genius. It's good to hear from you. All my best, Harvey. Oh, just one sentence. Back, which he just must have been so pompous and so arrogant. Like, he didn't even allocate the proper amount of time to wanting to have this relationship or wanting her to like him. Because if he had committed these insane assaults, you know, I don't know, I just. I would imagine that he would want to, you know, make sure that she was happy, but that's a pretty short response. Anyways, she then writes him again. Yeah, a year after that. She writes him on February 25th of 2009. This time she's a bit more explicit in what she's. What she's looking for. She writes, dear Harvey, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you? Listen, I'm saving up to become a Kundalini Yoga teacher. And I just wanted to announce myself available for work. If you happen to by any chance have anything shooting in London, I'll be a runner, whatever. I'd really appreciate any leads. A cat needs feeding. Either way, I hope you are super well. Peace and love, Miriam. Okay, so I don't know if I'm just not aware of what can happen or why you might email a person who has multiple times assaulted you and again, try to put yourself into a circumstance where you are working for him, but that is what Miriam did. And now we are talking. She is three years older, so she's about 32, 33 years old. And I would say, obviously, probably had every opportunity at that moment to go to the police and to report what had happened to her, but she doesn't do that. She doesn't do that at all. She waits another. So this is 2009. She comes out with her allegations in 2017. She waits another eight years when she's next to Gloria Allred and Harvey Weinstein is going down, and she decides to present this story as her having been sexually assaulted. And she was successful. Like I said, she broke down crying on the stand. And that was enough in New York to give him 20 years. Now when we take a look at the transcript and we start hearing and looking at more information about that time that he barged into her apartment, you know, when Damon Chernis is able to put her on the stand and ask her questions about that setup of the apartment, and you learn that there was not just one door in which she had to buzz him into, and he burst into it, you know, burst through it. There was also a second security door that you would have to be buzzed into. And she is not really sure how he go, doesn't really remember the details of how he got past that one, but he did. And then we learned that the layout of that apartment actually required him to go right and then left in order to get to her open door. And I am telling you, when I'm reading through this transcript, I'm thinking, if a girl did not want you to come to her apartment, to be inside of her apartment, you've got two security doors, you gotta call to get it. I mean, I just maybe would have let it. The call go. To go unanswered. Maybe not opened the second door, not showed him. Well, I'm not implying she did, obviously, her testimony is he just said, where is it? Where is it? And then, you know, found it. Just was able to find it. Just like had a scent about where her apartment might be. But I felt like there were maybe some opportunities for her to get out of that situation when I was reading through the transcript. And then I found to be very weird. And again, this is another one of her memory lapses when Damon Turner, the lawyer, starts asking her about this trip to LA that she says she got invited to because of a movie premiere. Then we learned that she was in LA for two weeks and that Harvey paid for that trip. And then Damon kind of says, hey, how long do movie premieres usually last? And she says, you know, I'm paraphrasing here, one night. And so you were there for two weeks and Harvey paid for this trip? Yeah. She doesn't remember how that happened after he barged into her apartment, but recalls maybe that she. And then Damon shows her an email, another email that she sent to the Weinstein Company, where she says, hey, yeah, Harvey said that he would help me get to Los Angeles. And then Damon Ternus, Harvey's lawyer, is able to show in her calendar entry that on June 26, actually, she had gone out to buy her friend who had a baby in la, a gift. So before Harvey, before this movie premiere offer, which she alleges was the reason for her going to la, she had plans to go to la. So that, I guess, was serendipitous. Serendipitous, or as Damon kind of presents, he was just paying for her to go to la. And this wasn't really about a movie premiere. This was about Harvey Weinstein. Again, this is reading the transcripts. My takeaway is that they kind of maybe had just offered to pay for her to go to LA on a trip and he didn't really need her at the movie premiere at all. But I don't. What do I know? Again, I don't Want to make any implications here because he was found guilty, guys. And there's so much more that I'm gonna tell you about Mimi, this woman who kind of enjoyed these father like relationships, these mentor like relationships. And truly, guys, she just felt like a hobo. And it's really Sad that this 30 year old woman just couldn't, I guess, didn't have enough life experience to know about these pitfalls of men and their hotel rooms and robes. And even when the signs were there and he asked for a massage and you know, those parts get really hazy. And so the New York courts said that she was a victim. And what's really compelling, by the way, is to when you hear all these people pretending to be outraged that the appellate court said what happened here? And one of the things that one of the judges says, and we'll get to that transcript tomorrow or in our next installment of this, when they're reviewing this case, is they go, why were certain people even allowed to testify? Because it almost looked to this judge, this appellate judge, that they didn't have the evidence really to convict Harvey. So they just kind of allowed this sort of banana court thing to happen where they let people testify about all sorts of things. Like Bob Weinstein, his brother Harvey once got into a fight with his brother. Okay, why is this being allowed in this courtroom? What does that do with anything? What does that do with anything happening? So if you, if you get into a fistfight with your brother or you punch your brother, it means that you're a rapist. What, what is it was all about just like character assassination, you know. Well, Harvey one time, you know, didn't pay me or something and just like assassinating his character. It seemed like a show trial. Like I said. I'll show you what the appellate judge said about this and why they are sending this back down. But I want you to imagine this. I want you to imagine you or someone you love, maybe it's your woman watching your husband, your brother, Your son gets 20 years in prison, 20 years in prison for this relationship, that of Mimi Alayi, also now goes by Mimi Haley. And nobody really cares to look into this and to recognize that there's some strange things that I think went down here. Anyways, we're going to stop there for today and I'm going to also show you one other thing and talk about just me too, in general. But first I want to throw to some of our sponsors who have been amazing Gold co being one of them over the last month. We have truly seen how much wasteful spending the last administration was doing. While the Fed has been working to rein in inflation, the broader economy is still feeling the effects, particularly in everyday items like food, housing and health care.

Can't wait to see what you guys are thinking about. Just what I presented you so far. Tip of the iceberg, guys. Tip of the iceberg. Okay, we're just getting started here so don't even, don't even get crazy. It's just and it's amazing to think by the way, I know we had showed you before when we cut a trailer for this. But all of these celebrities. He's God. He's God, He's God. And then instantly, right? Instantly. And this is a matter of self preservation. Those very same people like Jennifer Lawrence who said he was a God and thank you, I owe you so much, turned on him and were a part of the dog pile. Take a listen. He is just that horrible ass boil that does not go away. Harvey Weinstein isn't here tonight, but don't worry, he'll be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person ever booed during the in memoriam. The Academy, as you're no doubt aware, took action last year to expel Harvey Weinstein from their ranks. There were a lot of great nominees, but Harvey deserved it. The most incredible. With friends like these who all took, took, took. Who needs enemies, right? And that's kind of the thing about the MeToo movement is how it moves. When people are certain that people are going down, they are willing to say so much. And then when someone starts going back and through the facts, I think people get a little bit nervous. I think there's going to be a lot of celebs that are nervous. They know I'm talking to Harvey. They know I know stuff. They know I'm getting close, freaking out. What do I know about these people? Okay. And similarly, we saw this, by the way, to go into a current event with the Blake Lively thing. Oh, it was so easy for the cast members to throw. Oh my God, just throw Justin Baldoni under the bus. And I don't mean to correlate Justin to Harvey, but it was amazing because it's, it. Justin was just so kind. It did nothing wrong. And they all were like self preservation. La la la. Brandon Sklenar. Read it. Read the complaint. Well, guess what? I just wanted to very quickly let you guys know Brandon Sklenar has had of hearts because he is avoiding saying that he's Team Blake like the absolute plague now. And so last night there were, there were the Oscars last night. I didn't watch them, but I did catch that at the red carpet of the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Someone came up to him and just flat out asked him if he was Team Blake, you know, and here's what he had to say. Take a listen. And finally, I know you're very supportive over your female co stars as well. Blake Lively. How are you hoping to support her during this time?
