| h/t Instapundit [yahoo.com] - Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates has weighed in on the era of #MeToo, saying that "times were different" when she was coming up in the business and a lot of "casting couch" encounters were "consensual". The veteran actor said the landscape of the industry looked very different in her early career ‐ years before allegations against Harvey Weinstein sent shockwaves through Hollywood. The 71-year-old Richard Jewell star told The Guardian she had a "confession" to make "about people like Weinstein and the casting couch and all of that". Bates said: "In my day, if you went up to a guy’s hotel room, you knew exactly why you were going and in those days it was consensual.

| #2 Yeah, it's hard to believe that women didn't know that getting in to Hollywood meant sucking some studio boss dicks. Uma Thurman got her career from Harvey Weinstein, and Quentin Tarantino had no problem with it. |
