Blind Item #13
This permanent A++ lister known to everyone in the world keeps deflecting her role of complicity in the ongoing disgrace of this A list producer. She keeps supporting others but never looks in the mirror to see that she helped enable his behavior. Where is the apology for that?
Oprah/weinstein
ReplyDeleteShe is a disgrace and an effin phonetic (seen from space he last 25 years)
Delete*phony
Delete@Tricia13
DeleteGreat. Now I really want to change my handle to "Effin Phonetic"
Good band name, too
Haha😂😂so is “The Pseudo-O’s”...
DeleteThey charge 300/per tix, get on stage and are sickly,overly “warm and fuzzy” , sing 🎤 a cover of a cheesy song and then leave....
*sidebar: the song is one that one of their rapey friends”wrote or performed:)
DeleteAbsoFuckinlutely Tricia! Totally agree
DeleteFraud
Delete🙌Rosiieee!❤️
DeleteHey Tricia! Back after a long break. Nice to see a familiar name.
DeleteWhy did I think Hillary? Maybe because I keep seeing photos of Hillary with Harvey. Shrugs.
DeleteHillary was my first thought too!
DeleteHilary
DeleteOprah & Harvey
ReplyDeleteThere must be someone somewhere in this world who has no idea who this Oprah person is!
ReplyDeleteThere is. The lady who wouldn’t sell her a purse in Sweden or wherever it happened lol
DeleteARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Go away Oprah
ReplyDeleteOprah has been a fraud since day one. She's also a racist. How she is so adored is baffling to me.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the next President of the US.
ReplyDeleteShe is hanging out all the time with Geffen, Gayle King, Hanks, Spielberg, etc. It is a convention of enablers and abusers.
I do think she may run. She is that egotistical. Trump caught lightning in a bottle by beating the worst Dem candidate in the history of mankind and now everyone thinks it is easy. Primaries ain't beanbag. Of course, she'd be better off running as an independent - avoiding the primaries. But then it probably guarantees a loss by Dem and her.
@Adrian Zmed: I'll be very surprised if Oprah runs for President. I think the Democratic Party will sort of get itself organized so as to have its best chance to win the general election in 2020. There is too much risk that Oprah would win the nomination and lose the general. We should not assume that Trump will be the nominee, nor Pence. We don't know. Another problem that the high-ups who control the Dem party would have with Oprah is that she might think that as President she can do whatever she thinks is best. Despite the ideological and/or policy differences between Oprah and Trump, that is what is driving the swamp crazy about Trump. I think it is much more likely that the Democratic Party will run someone very much like Obama, who won't push back against the real powers and will essentially function as a balancer between elite constituencies. We should not be surprised to see them promote Kamala Harris in 2020.
DeleteDid anyone see that picture going around of a young Rita Ora at a party sitting next to Oprah and Weinstein is practically standing over her. Rita definitely looked like Oprah coerced her into that situation. She looked so surprised and uncomfortable about Weinstein appearing.
ReplyDeleteOprah today: Reese Witherspoon experienced PTSD when Weinstein story broke. Do these people have any self-awareness?
ReplyDeleteJane Fonda. Or Oprah. Or Susan Sarandon. Or Diane Keaton. Or Annette Benning. So many....
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for Oprah to sit down with Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton so they can share their personal pain watching all these revelations about things they simply weren't aware of.
ReplyDeleteI can only think of one other A++ permanent besides Oprah, and that would be Meryl Streep. I found it odd that she went out of her way to say she had never heard anything about Weinstein.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the link between Clinton and Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, or the link between the Bushes and the Bin Laden's, Oprah will be a huge improvement in White House.
ReplyDeletePeople want Hillary Clinton to denounce him, I don't know if she did or didn't. She fits as well. Maybe better than Oprah.
ReplyDeleteMight be Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteCan't stand Oprah anymore. She sounds like a con artist.
ReplyDelete"You've got an abuser! You've got an abuser! Everybody's got an abuser!"
ReplyDeleteSuch a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that Oprah is "known to everyone in the world"?
ReplyDeleteSure she is huge (in every way) in the States and reasonably well known here in the UK but I'm sure I could find plenty who wouldn't know who what she looked like and this is even if they had heard of her. And I'd guess she's far less well known in non English speaking lands.
Hillary fits the bill for this far better.
Meryl Streep.
ReplyDeleteFunny how no one ever blames the women on Weinstein board or his wife?.....hmmmmm
ReplyDeletePeople all of a sudden mad at Oprah because they thought she was going to run for president. SHE IS NOT RUNNING!She never was. She said that along time ago people. So, at the song says, "Let it go, let it gooooo".
ReplyDeleteUm, respectfully , I rather imagine people are sickened and appalled by her oversaturated apparent- phony -presence she’s had in our lives ,considering her complicity and support of rapists ,thugs, and oppressors...
DeleteIsn’t it ironic ? Don’t cha think to quote one of my hated songs/singers..
(That’s how much I disdain Oprah . I quoted Alanis
Bunnyhoney, a lot of us havent liked her since we figured out she was disingenuous and a fraud, years ago. I mean, helllloooooo, who takes their BFF on twelve vacations a year, every one with "boyfriend" in tow? Lesbians. That's who.
ReplyDelete👍😂
Word,girl, word 👍
DeleteYou don't have a better example of being disingenuous than being closeted?
DeleteA better example? I think there are many examples of Oprah being disingenuous over the years. I didnt mean for that to be an example as much as it's own , stand alone, thought.
DeleteWould you say that her knowledge of Harvey Weinstein being a perv but yet staying silent would be a better example, Nunya?
No?
Okay, let's stick with touting the virtues of living an authentic life but staying in the closet. Because that's A REALLY GOOD ONE ��
Thank you for drawing attention to it, I cannot tell you how much I hate that particular bit about her.
Meryl Streep? Heard via blinds and gossip that she warned her daughters not be alone with him yet she didn't know? the more folks come out saying they knew something or had heard the worse she and Diane Keaton and Oprah's claims to the contrary sound. Come on! If anything admit the was the nature of the beast and your regret ignoring or feeding it out of fear and self preservation.
ReplyDeleteOprah isn't known in non-English speaking Asian countries at all from my experience, including Japan, South Korea and China. It is remarkable how English speakers speakers presume their world is the entire world. Just not true.
ReplyDelete"Quit whining you haven't done anything wrong because frankly
ReplyDeleteYou haven't done much of anything"
Meryl Streep
ReplyDeleteIf you want me to identify a bridge to prove I'm not a robot, then give me a pic with a bridge!!!
I guess Hillary does fit "known by everyone in the world" better than Oprah, but what did either of them to that makes them complicit with Harvey? Or at least any more complicit than anyone else who went to his parties and did business with him? Which is a gigantic chunk of Hollywood. Why is this person worth calling out?
ReplyDelete"People all of a sudden mad at Oprah because they thought she was going to run for president."
ReplyDeleteNope. A lot of people like me have been angry at her since she foisted Dr. Phil on the public along with that quack Dr. Oz.
Oprah as an A++ actress? Seems more likely that they're referring to Meryl Streep.
ReplyDeleteOh, I read it wrong - it doesn't necessarily say "actress"...
ReplyDeleteTwice in Europe, Oprah was furious when high end stores, Hermes being one of them, didn't kiss her ass. She screamed racism but the simple truth is they didn't know who she was.
ReplyDeleteHiya Dexamyl:) good to see you and yes-I remember Oprah’s poor me tour through Europe lol...How dare they not get on bender knee and kiss the ring!
DeleteDiane Keaton..
ReplyDeleteThis is Meryl Streep !
ReplyDeleteYeh in France few people know about Oprah, while most know Meryl Streep, but I don't think she's A++, just A+, so it's prolly Oprah that we're supposed to guess (even though both certainly knew a lot more than they'll ever admit!)
ReplyDeleteOprah. When has Hillary recently supported others? She's been low profile, so I don't think this is her, whereas Mrs O is at the Golden Globes, as well as on the cover of Vanity Fair.
ReplyDeleteUnpopular oppinion, here I go. Oprah, opened the doors, to conversations about sexual abuse. She was one of the first celebrities to come forward about her own abuse, brave as hell to talk about her abuse at a time when sexual abuse was something that nobody talked about. She told people that it wasn't their fault, and they shouldn't be ashamed, and that it was ok to share and own their story. Out of any celebrity, she is the last one that should be hated on, for this topic. It's just crazy to me, how a percentage of the population just has so much hate for woman. It's always the same people complaining about every woman they come across who does well for themselves. I've never liked bullies, because they always seem to share the same weird jealousy issues. enty hasn't confirmed shit about Oprah to my knowledge, and clearly, isn't Harvey Weinstein's babysitter. She fell for his sociopath charms, just like every other person, who sadly trusted him. Predators work their way in. It's their sport of choice, they love the hunt. Hate on them.
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteTo Court b: I'm sure you wrote that before the meds had worn off but it was still complete nonsense. Weinstein's record was an open secret in Hollywood. He wasn't left alone because no one knew, he was left alone because no one cared. Oprah should be ashamed of herself, as should every other of Harvey's pals like Tarantino, Affleck and Damon. Your fangirl deflections change nothing.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I can't listen to Damon twat on about degrees of sexual harassment. Bitch, you were Harv's little wunderkind! You knew the man better than most and were a member of his "talent" for decades. We don't want to hear your considered opinion on degrees of assault. We want to hear how you could live with the knowledge of Harv's activities and not speak up, abandon him, or work to protect the women around you both.
ReplyDeleteYou too, Tarantino.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.classic.
ReplyDeleteSo what is Oprah supposedly responsible for? What's this story I have missed?
ReplyDeleteI think this is supposed to be Meryl Streep given the nasty campaign against her recently. I don't believe it. She is an ERA activist, she would never be complicit in the Weinstein behavior. Neither would Oprah.
ReplyDeleteOprah won't run for president. She knows what it'll entail.
ReplyDeleteI love Oprah and Meryl but to say they couldn't possibly be complicit is SO native. They both had career trajectories to defend themselves and how is it everyone knew but them? Give me a break. Blinds for years have insinuated Oprah and Gayle are a couple and Steadman is a faux boyfriend. The industry is a machine. It doesn't mean neither of these women are cogs in the wheels.
ReplyDeletenaive not native
ReplyDeleteI was deeply in love with my girlfriend in 1992. But I started to catch her in lies. So I broke up with her. She than threatened suicide to my sister, claiming the shock of my betrayal had unleashed repressed memories of a rape a boyfriend had committed in her late teens. So like a dipshit, I let her back in. Ya da yad..she got pregnant. So two years down the road, I come home and see magazines with post it notes next to stuff she wants,, hundreds of them, saying “thanks Oprah”
ReplyDeleteSo later I find out that whole repressed memory stuff was a book promoted on Oprah by Elizabeth Loftus, and the post it thing was also some Oprah BS program.
Oprah is the devil. Therefore, she might be the next President.
I'm sorry that happened to you, BDM. A lot of this navel-gazing self-help/self-improvement stuff really attracts a lot of narcissists... I know the people who wrote it probably meant well and wanted to empower weaker people/victims.
DeleteBut the way many of these ideas/concepts are formatted only embolden people who had overblown senses of entitlement in the first place (or worse, teach bullies how to frame themselves as victims).
Every time I see someone say "self-love" or "you deserve to be happy" or something like that, I cringe. Because for every doormat it empowers, I know there's a narcissist out there who's just going to use those "because I'm worth it" sayings to excuse bad behaviour and act entitled and bully people.
The cycle of abuse is very real.
PS: I have no opinion on Oprah. I'm just commenting on the "self-help/healing" scene in general.
My sister has always called Oprah the Anti-Christ.
ReplyDeleteOprah has fed the masses bullshit for a long long time. Whether it's The Secret tripe or that quackery by Dr. Oz (the vaccine denier and faux supplement hawker), she has been America's favorite shill for stupid (or even destructive) products for many a year.
ReplyDeleteTo do this, she has to look down on the masses, you and I, as stupid sheeple. Otherwise, how could she continue flogging us with this shit, even in her stupid magazine?
Oprah also has an enormous blind spot to white male authority. She almost NEVER confronts a white man and foists the very worst on the public because they are white men and naturally knowledgeable, donjaknow. Yet she never gives a black man the benefit of the doubt and launches secret attacks on them whenever possible (as in the case of Ludicrous.)
Oprah is about as self aware as a turnip. Nothing in her vast library of self help nonsense has helped her in that regard.
It could be Meryl or Oprah because they both have detracted about what they knew. However, I think its Oprah and I'm going to tell you why. For a billionaire, her $100K pittance of a donation to Times Up after that self aggrandizing speech she made at the Globes was really disappointing. It shows she's not as dedicated as she makes it look.
ReplyDeleteI think she donates in alot of directions consistently, and is very likely, going to be the highest or near highest donor to #timesup
DeleteThere's a picture circulating online right now of Weinstein sitting between Hillary and Huma at the Planned Parenthood gala right before the Wienstein story broke... I'm going with Hillary on this one.
ReplyDeleteHRC is not Hollywood. She wouldn't have been on film sets or at awards shows to watch Harv do his thing to young actresses. She wasn't part of the West Coast rumor mill (cuz you know she was WORKING in DC.)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how anyone can attach her to this, whereas Oprah and Meryl, sure, they enough of the inside of Hollywood to be aware of how disgusting Harv is.
Don't think it was Hilary, but she definitely was around him enough to catch him like anyone else being blamed(for argument sake ;) but again, this guy is a professional predator, with a whole team watching out for him at all times. Nobody should be blamed for his BS, but him, and the people he employed.
DeleteI love Meryl to pieces.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely her. There's a lot of anger and resentment swirling around about her right now.
Call me when you start holding men to the same accountability level that you’re trying to hold women too.
ReplyDelete+1,000,000,000,000
DeleteThank you!
2 things.
ReplyDeleteOprah will not run. There's just no way. The entire democratic party will talk her out of it after they lost with a shit candidate to Trump. It's just not smart and every Democrat in the country would sell their soul to make sure Trump is not re-elected.
Second, what's the background on Oprahstein? Never knew those two were close, fone one thing they do live on other sides of the country.
Because they weren't close, she worked on or acted in a couple of prodjects that involved mirimax. At the same time she had 10+ other things going on, just as he did. People are just looking to pick, or hate on everyone
DeleteOh please get off Oprahs ass, i am sure if we looked long enough many of you holier than thou spitting hellfire did some shady shit. Sorry Oprah cant send you all kiss my ass love notes
ReplyDeleteIt's like the 6 degrees of Kevin bacon, you can tie anyone to harvey, or trump, of Oprah, or the fucking queen. It all means next to nothing.
DeleteOprah isn't known everywhere and her branch of entertaintment is limited to the anglo world. This must be Streep. Movies have worldwide scope.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that is true about Oprah is her political donations. She basically single handedly funded Obama's primary campaign between 2007 and April 2008. Literally. Single biggest supporter of Obama ever, she campaigned, made appearances and single handedly pushed him over the line in New Hampshire
ReplyDelete"She basically single handedly funded Obama's primary campaign between 2007 and April 2008"
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong. Would you like me to do you google search for you? It ain't difficult.
Oprah is NOT known worldwide. Most people outside of the US have no clue who she is. Streep is known everywhere though.
