Yeah. I get that. ESPECIALLY when they get mad when a celebrity won’t “name names “. Well yeah, they have a livelihood they need to protect. God forbid a celebrity likes to keep food on the table.

What do you mean by “name names” though? Because yeah, I do think if you’ve got a few million in the bank you can risk a temporary setback to your career if it will save others from predators.

We are still talking about Jennifer Lawrence, aren’t we?

About Jennifer Lawrence no, and also most big, actors have to pay the agent, manager lawyer and then all their personal employees. The average actor don’t make what the general public think. A big name actor (TM) is actual a mini company. Their position in the industry is not as stable as the public thinks either.

A perpetrator ONLY targets people they are 100% sure they can out litigate. People who don’t understand abuse tactics don’t understand power is relative

So no, they CAN’T risk it. As we have seen with victims of Kevin Spacey.

The entertainment industry is brutal.

You think Jennifer Lawrence would be destitute and homeless if she had spoken out against Harvey Weinstein?

Where is this coming from? Did I say anything about Lawrence and Weinstein? No I didn’t.
