A very necessary read.
. During our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity, we discussed the impact of the decision on McGowan and other victims, and also on the #MeToo movement.And I always, I think, answer, “Well, it’s another day in the twilight zone.” Which it is, but today it’s interesting. I’ve had to have this hardness that’s not native to me, to do what I had to do to cause the cultural reset that I wanted, to get the results I wanted—not like we’re talking about with the case today.
This person was compulsive—is compulsive—you know. It’s pretty amazing to have one less rapist on the street, though. Especially a super rapist, like, head rapist in charge. Like, “I know I’m gonna be the Oscar winner of rapists. That’s what I’m going to be.” So you looked at your phone this morning. You braced for the worst. And then, when you saw what had happened, what went through your mindHonestly, joy. And then I thought, I wonder if he’s gonna hire a hit man to kill me? That was my other thought.
“Yeah, sorry. People are getting raped, people are getting killed. Women are dying. Boys are getting molested. We don’t have time. I know you’re uncomfortable. And this might make you examine some icky feelings you have inside and maybe something you’ve done or heard about, or maybe it was you, you know.” But, I think, if society is walking around with a festering sore on its leg, and the only thing they do is pull their pant leg down farther, that’s a very sick society.
We hear a lot about rape victims feeling guilt and shame. I never felt guilt or shame. Because I know I didn’t do it. It was so clear-cut. I luckily didn’t have to unpack that part of it. It was so clear-cut what was happening. I was at a breakfast meeting, and this happened. I was not on a date with this person.
And you went through a long period after that of being in a state that I think so many women with stories of sexual violence spend a long time in, which is either being quiet about it or not being believed when you do make noise about it. That went on for years. I was reading other women’s tweets of why they don’t report. And I was, like, “I’ll tell you why. When your ex-fiancé director sells your movie to your rapist to distribute.” And I had already agreed to do the movie, and the director says that I said I’d always known that. That was not true.
The ones where the relationship goes on afterward, there’s just not a history of that winning. So that’s why I was kind of, like, Why were those specific ones brought? It’s extremely difficult. I got an on-the-record quote from Paul Thompson, the assistant district attorney, and they are proceeding with the case. If you were asked to testify in that case, would youThe most serious charge Harvey Weinstein was convicted of today, the one involving Mimi Haleyi, is about a fact pattern that is strikingly similar to your own allegation and those of several other women who say Weinstein forced oral sex on them.
