Oprah Winfrey says Harvey Weinstein’s behaviour is “hideous” and she agrees with others who also blame enablers in Hollywood.
She took to Facebook to say she hasn’t “been able to find the words to articulate the magnitude of the situation.” Winfrey cited a statement from filmmaker and former head of Focus Features, James Schamus, that the scandal is a “story of one predator and his many victims” but it is also a story about an overwhelming systemic enabling by underlings and others in the entertainment industry.
Winfrey said that thanks to the brave voices of women who have accused Weinstein, “many more will now be emboldened to come forward EVERY time this happens.” She added: “I believe a shift is coming.”
