- 2:18Speaker 1: claim that this Hollywood hit maker star maker, Harvey Weinstein

- 2:40Speaker 1: take a share with me? Uh? Number one, you're gonna
- 2:44Speaker 1: hold out a hand and pull back a nub, and

- 3:02Speaker 1: you say twenty nine, and I'm not trying to discount
- 3:05Speaker 1: what you said, but it just went up to thirty.
- 3:08Speaker 1: A brand new actress has just come out and said
- 3:11Speaker 1: that she was a victim of Harvey Weinstein's Also, you know,
- 3:15Speaker 1: by the time we're through with this hour, there will
- 3:18Speaker 1: probably be another one because Gloria already is in on
- 3:20Speaker 1: it now. And let me tell you something, that's who
- 3:23Speaker 1: You don't want to have a fender bender width. Can
- 3:26Speaker 1: you imagine a hit running to somebody and outcomes Gloria already.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I would hide under the floor, Matt if I was
- 3:34Speaker 1: in that car. Gloria already is on it now. But
- 3:37Speaker 1: before I go off on Gloria already, I want to
- 3:39Speaker 1: get so now the numbers thirty, all right? Tell these
- 3:44Speaker 1: accusations start dating back to nineteen eighty four up until
- 3:49Speaker 1: around two two thousand fifteen, two thousand sixteen. That is
- 3:53Speaker 1: eighty four to nine to oh four oh four to fourteen.
- 3:57Speaker 1: That's over thirty years of sex assault, slash harassment, allegations.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Alexis Torres, help me understand. It's not even just sex harassment,
- 4:08Speaker 1: as she said, it's rape. Multiple women have accused Harvey
- 4:11Speaker 1: mind Scene of raping him. They said they were young,
- 4:14Speaker 1: they wanted parts in Hollywood, and they were led to
- 4:16Speaker 1: believe that things would be safe with him because there
- 4:19Speaker 1: were other women that initially were around them. When they
- 4:23Speaker 1: would take meetings with this very powerful Hollywood producer, his
- 4:26Speaker 1: staff or assistance. There would be females and they would
- 4:29Speaker 1: all be together in a meeting that was strictly about
- 4:31Speaker 1: a career. Then miraculously these assistants would disappear. Harvey would
- 4:35Speaker 1: trick these women up into his hotel room, and that's
- 4:38Speaker 1: when he would pounce and attack them. Hold on right there,
- 4:41Speaker 1: Alexis Torres, Chuck, what you're describing is a repeated, according
- 4:46Speaker 1: to these ladies, a repeated scenario, and what we call
- 4:50Speaker 1: that under the law. Troy Slayton, veteran trial lawyer and
- 4:54Speaker 1: no stranger to the entertainment industry, Troy, that's what we
- 4:57Speaker 1: called a similar transact. And that's what it's called when
- 5:02Speaker 1: someone repeats the same behavior over and over and over,
- 5:06Speaker 1: so it becomes like a fingerprint. A common emo, modus operandi,
- 5:10Speaker 1: method of operation to show course of conduct, uh, frame
- 5:14Speaker 1: of mind scheme. That's what a similar transaction is. Now
- 5:19Speaker 1: a lot of these cases, as I mentioned day back
- 5:22Speaker 1: to night four, and the statute some jurisdictions has run. However,
- 5:27Speaker 1: those cases, the older cases, can be brought in if
- 5:30Speaker 1: this goes to trial to bolster a new case where
- 5:35Speaker 1: the statute has not run. Troyce Layton, that's true, and
- 5:39Speaker 1: what would otherwise be hearsay evidence or evidence of prior
- 5:42Speaker 1: bad acts could be brought in. But Nancy, what a
- 5:46Speaker 1: lot of what alexis is describing? It may be untoward,
- 5:50Speaker 1: it may sound ikey, but if if too uh, people
- 5:56Speaker 1: of age over eighteen years old decide that they want
- 6:00Speaker 1: to engage in sexual relations with each other, even if
- 6:05Speaker 1: there was oh hey maybe I can you know, get
- 6:07Speaker 1: you in front of some people or something like that,
- 6:09Speaker 1: that is not necessarily a crime. None of these women have.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Can I ask you something, Troy Slaighton, what part of
- 6:17Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein allegedly coming out of the bathroom button naked
- 6:22Speaker 1: with an erection, go and give me a massage and
- 6:25Speaker 1: the woman runs out the door allegedly, what part of
- 6:29Speaker 1: that is consensual other than him. Well, we would depend
- 6:33Speaker 1: on the circumstances. Why a woman is going unaccompanied to
- 6:37Speaker 1: a man's hotel room. Uh, I've done it many times,
- 6:42Speaker 1: many many and what I have gone to a man's
- 6:47Speaker 1: hotel room to h Let's see, when I was covering
- 6:50Speaker 1: the Scott Peterson trial and I was away from home
- 6:53Speaker 1: for how long three six months? I got to tons
- 6:56Speaker 1: of colleagues hotel room and watch TV, would order rooms service.
- 7:00Speaker 1: When I was on the road with my h Len show,
- 7:04Speaker 1: my executive producer Dane and I we kicked back and
- 7:07Speaker 1: order stuff off room service and and watch TV until
- 7:11Speaker 1: you know, I could go to sleep after a long
- 7:13Speaker 1: day reporting and in court. We did it all the time.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I never thought anything about it. I certainly didn't expect
- 7:19Speaker 1: him to emerge from the bathroom buck naked with an
- 7:22Speaker 1: erection and ask for a massage. No, I didn't see
- 7:25Speaker 1: that coming. You're right, Well, look, if somebody is going
- 7:29Speaker 1: to expose themselves and it was that's a crime. That's
- 7:34Speaker 1: a crime. I agree that would be a crime. But
- 7:36Speaker 1: if there's some sort of sexual relationship and it was
- 7:40Speaker 1: just on, hey, you know, um, I might let me
- 7:42Speaker 1: introduce you to this person later on, that is not
- 7:45Speaker 1: necessarily a crime. I don't know what you're saying. These women,
- 7:48Speaker 1: according to accounts, if they are true, many of them
- 7:53Speaker 1: were called Alexis. Let me come to you on this
- 7:55Speaker 1: before we go to our shrink. Joining me and boy,
- 7:57Speaker 1: do we need a shrink today? Dr Tiffany Sanders is
- 8:01Speaker 1: with us, a psychiatrist out off Chicago, also with me,
- 8:04Speaker 1: Alexis to rest Chuck from Radar online dot Com. The Duke,
- 8:09Speaker 1: Alan Duke joining me out of l A Jackie here
- 8:12Speaker 1: in the studio with me and Troy Slayton, veteran trial
- 8:15Speaker 1: lawyer Alexis. Here's the deal. Okay, a woman Weinstein allegedly
- 8:22Speaker 1: would meet a woman. She could be an assistant, she
- 8:24Speaker 1: could be a secretary, she could be a model, she
- 8:27Speaker 1: could be an actress. And then suddenly this person, this
- 8:31Speaker 1: woman gets a call from a female with the Weinstein
- 8:35Speaker 1: Company or Merrimax, and they set up a meeting to
- 8:38Speaker 1: discuss her future roles. Okay, she comes to the meeting,
- 8:42Speaker 1: there are women sitting around. All of a sudden, at
- 8:45Speaker 1: one by one they go to take a call or
- 8:48Speaker 1: they go to a meet, and all of a sudden,
- 8:50Speaker 1: the victim, the alleged victim is alone with Weinstein, and
- 8:55Speaker 1: that's when the bathrobe appears. Right, Zack, Right, It's a pattern.
- 9:01Speaker 1: It's the exact same set up for every alleged assault
- 9:06Speaker 1: that he did. He would lure these women into being
- 9:09Speaker 1: comfortable by having other women there because you know what,
- 9:12Speaker 1: all of these women said, they never expected it from Harvey,
- 9:15Speaker 1: because he was somebody who Gwyneth Paltrow a list star.
- 9:18Speaker 1: She won an oscar after her encounter. She said, I
- 9:21Speaker 1: thought of him as uncle Harvey, and she had a
- 9:24Speaker 1: mother and a father in the industry. She's basically Hollywood royalty.
- 9:26Speaker 1: With anybody, you would think that Harvey wouldn't try to
- 9:29Speaker 1: take advantage of be Gwyneth Paltrow. And you know what
- 9:31Speaker 1: he did. He manipulated these women into feeling safe and
- 9:36Speaker 1: then pounced on them. It's disgusting how many women he
- 9:40Speaker 1: did this too. Well, if you don't believe it, Troy Slayton,
- 9:45Speaker 1: take a listen to this. One actress actually raced to
- 9:50Speaker 1: the nyp D New York Police Department after she claims
- 9:54Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed her. She goes to police, she
- 10:01Speaker 1: tells them what he did, reaching his hand up her
- 10:04Speaker 1: skirt trying to par her, and they wire her. She
- 10:10Speaker 1: wears a wire and sees wine stain again and reportedly,
- 10:14Speaker 1: if this secret tape is to be believed, listen, I'm
- 10:20Speaker 1: telling you right now, what do we have to do here?
- 10:22Speaker 1: Think I'm gonna take a shower. You sit there and

- 11:01Speaker 1: with me. Please, I'm not going to do anything. I

- 11:17Speaker 1: I'm used to that. You're used to that. No, but

- 11:47Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's so much for you. Please,
- 11:49Speaker 1: you're making a big scene here, but I want to leaven.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Let me go out to psychologist from Chicago, Dr Tiffany Sanders.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Dr Sanders, what do you make of that type recording
- 12:06Speaker 1: that we've just listened to Harvey Weinstein. Still she's saying, no, no,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I don't want this. I don't want to go in there.
- 12:13Speaker 1: You touched my breasts yesterday. I didn't like that. And
- 12:17Speaker 1: he's trying to he says, he's not trying to say.
- 12:19Speaker 1: He says, don't waste your whole career over five minutes
- 12:22Speaker 1: with me in this room. You know, I was concerned
- 12:25Speaker 1: with his pressured tone, like he was like trying to
- 12:27Speaker 1: apologize and trying to make it amends of it. You know,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know that's how I that's how I
- 12:32Speaker 1: always acted, and you know, trying to beg her in
- 12:34Speaker 1: core soor to come into the bathroom where it was
- 12:37Speaker 1: really very uh sad to listen, because when you hear
- 12:40Speaker 1: that sort of pressure speech, that's often an indicator as
- 12:43Speaker 1: someone struggles with the mental health issue. Uh can't diagnose
- 12:47Speaker 1: him and won't diagnose him, but that's really a hallmark sign.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And he's leaving allegedly to go to Europe for sex
- 12:55Speaker 1: addiction treatment and when you think about it, place he's
- 12:59Speaker 1: probably hold up right now at the Rits in Paris
- 13:02Speaker 1: sexual addiction treatment meetment. Come on, I mean to me,
- 13:06Speaker 1: this is just to weigh out Troy Slight. There is
- 13:09Speaker 1: nothing mentally wrong with him. He, if these accounts are true,
- 13:13Speaker 1: is just a bully that has taken advantage of one
- 13:16Speaker 1: woman after the next. And three women according to a
- 13:20Speaker 1: report by Ronan Pharaoh says that three women say they
- 13:26Speaker 1: were raped by Harvey wine Stein. Rape are ape. According
- 13:34Speaker 1: to these women, rape is wrong. Nancy, I can't defend rape,
- 13:38Speaker 1: but I do have to agree with Sears Fans Jr.
- 13:41Speaker 1: The d A in New York, who says that based
- 13:43Speaker 1: on that recording, there is no prosecution, There is no evidence,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and the d A is rejecting that case. Nancy, it's
- 13:51Speaker 1: not just based on that recording, it's based on her
- 13:57Speaker 1: testimony as to what happened then. I before there was
- 14:01Speaker 1: I mean Troy Slayton. If I said to you, Troy, Troy,
- 14:04Speaker 1: I don't want you on the I don't want you
- 14:07Speaker 1: on my serious show because you remember that time you
- 14:10Speaker 1: grab my breast, you wouldn't go don't worry about it.
- 14:13Speaker 1: You'd say, what that didn't happen. That never happened. He
- 14:17Speaker 1: never said that, Troy, he never said that. It corroborates
- 14:22Speaker 1: what she says happened the night before. That is a crime.
- 14:26Speaker 1: If it's true, that's a crime. And she was so
- 14:28Speaker 1: victimized and so upset with it that she's back up
- 14:31Speaker 1: in his hotel room the next day. Uh with wearing
- 14:34Speaker 1: a police wire. She's wearing a police wire. That's why
- 14:38Speaker 1: she's back. Alexis explained what happened with this woman. So
- 14:43Speaker 1: she meets Harvey Weinstein, he and she claims you don't.
- 14:47Speaker 1: He of course promises her a job in the industry.
- 14:49Speaker 1: He can put her in movies, make her famous. She
- 14:51Speaker 1: goes to his hotel room, he attacks her, She is
- 14:55Speaker 1: so upset by this. She is basically, as far as
- 14:57Speaker 1: we know, as far as everybody has said so far,
- 15:00Speaker 1: she is the first person to go to the police,
- 15:02Speaker 1: and she does it promptly. The police work with her.
- 15:06Speaker 1: They set her up with a wire so that she
- 15:08Speaker 1: can record Harvey admitting that he groped her, that he
- 15:12Speaker 1: grabbed her against her wishes. So she goes back to
- 15:16Speaker 1: meet with him. She's wearing the wire. She gets him
- 15:18Speaker 1: on tape. It is the most chilling tape. It's terrifying
- 15:23Speaker 1: to hear this band admit what he's done to her.
- 15:26Speaker 1: And she turns it over to the cops. Within one week,
- 15:30Speaker 1: they decide to drop the case. The district attorney down.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Oh my, that was an extensive investigation. Hold on alexis
- 15:37Speaker 1: What about Rose meg Allen? What does she say happen
- 15:41Speaker 1: to her? Rose McCallen claims that she was raped by
- 15:46Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein. She claimed it happened in his hotel room.
- 15:48Speaker 1: She has never actually said his name. She reportedly signed
- 15:53Speaker 1: a deal with him. He gave her one hundred thousand
- 15:55Speaker 1: dollars after she complained about the assault. She says she
- 15:58Speaker 1: donated that money to a rape center to help other victims,
- 16:02Speaker 1: but she has been aggressive in her last couple of
- 16:05Speaker 1: weeks of claiming talking about her rape, and she says
- 16:08Speaker 1: that she says, imagine this big man, this huge man,
- 16:13Speaker 1: he's so imposing, attacking you. She says, in that one second,
- 16:16Speaker 1: your life is not yours. The path that you had
- 16:19Speaker 1: chosen for your life is completely taken away from you.
- 16:23Speaker 1: She says she was attacked by him, and then she
- 16:25Speaker 1: was forced to go to a press conference with him
- 16:29Speaker 1: because he was doing her movie. She said Ben Affleck
- 16:32Speaker 1: was there and that then knew what had happened to her.
- 16:35Speaker 1: All of these people were, she claims, were complicit in
- 16:37Speaker 1: the cover up for all of these years. And she
- 16:40Speaker 1: says that she had no recourse, she could do nothing
- 16:43Speaker 1: about it, and in fact, she made a movie with
- 16:45Speaker 1: her husband. Years later, her husband sold that movie to
- 16:48Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein's company. She said, basically she felt revictimized all
- 16:51Speaker 1: over again. You know, I've dealt with so many rape victims,
- 16:57Speaker 1: and they're not Angelina Jolie, they're not Ande Paltrow, they're
- 17:01Speaker 1: not famous like Rose McGowan. But they were mistreated, they
- 17:07Speaker 1: were victimized. Dr Tiffany Sanders with me. Psychologists out of Chicago.
- 17:14Speaker 1: You know, you live through a rape physically, but you're
- 17:19Speaker 1: never the same, doctor Nancy. These individuals are not the same.
- 17:23Speaker 1: They're they're dealing with the trauma. They replayed the scene
- 17:26Speaker 1: over and over again, thinking what could I have done
- 17:28Speaker 1: to have gotten away from it? And it's not their fault.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I mean that person at Harvey Weinstein. He preyed upon
- 17:36Speaker 1: these young ladies. And they were young, they were impressionable.
- 17:39Speaker 1: They thought that they were at fault for some reason.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Some of the women have said. So for these women,
- 17:45Speaker 1: the reminder, they feel dirty, they feel soiled, and he
- 17:49Speaker 1: did it repeatedly. He prayed on these young impressional girls,
- 17:53Speaker 1: impressionable girls around twenty two to twenty five years of age.
- 17:56Speaker 1: And and even if you're you know, famous, like one
- 17:59Speaker 1: of Paltrow, it didn't matter. He had It's almost like
- 18:02Speaker 1: he was. It was sick me. It's almost like he
- 18:06Speaker 1: really went after these girls. And it's just unfathomable, unfathomable.
- 18:10Speaker 1: But I'll tell you why I believe them now these
- 18:14Speaker 1: if these allegations are true, this is why I believe them.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Alexa Stress, Chuck number one. They many of them, almost
- 18:22Speaker 1: all of them, made an immediate, as we say in
- 18:24Speaker 1: the law outcry. That means they told somebody at the time,
- 18:27Speaker 1: whether it was their parents, their boyfriend, their roommates, they
- 18:31Speaker 1: told somebody at the time what happened. That means now,
- 18:35Speaker 1: all these years later, they're telling the same story. It's
- 18:38Speaker 1: very likely true. Number Two, money settlements. Weinstein allegedly has
- 18:46Speaker 1: paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to make these
- 18:50Speaker 1: people be quiet, make these women go away. Somebody accused
- 18:54Speaker 1: me of rape, I would certainly not pay out a settlement.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I would fight it in collect say this is not true.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Number two, The similar the similar nature of all the claims.
- 19:06Speaker 1: These women are separated in time and space. How do
- 19:09Speaker 1: they know what one is going to say, but yet
- 19:11Speaker 1: all the facts are the same. It shows his modus operendi,
- 19:16Speaker 1: modus operandi, the way he makes these attacks happen, allegedly,
- 19:21Speaker 1: and also his enablers, the people that worked with him,
- 19:28Speaker 1: they knew what was going on. Several of them allegedly
- 19:30Speaker 1: say it made them sick to have to facilitate what
- 19:33Speaker 1: he was doing to young women. This goes back allegedly
- 19:38Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty four. Before I tell you the rest
- 19:44Speaker 1: of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood big that
- 19:50Speaker 1: is now accused of multiple acts of sexual predator, including
- 19:57Speaker 1: three allegations that he has raped to people, and we're
- 20:01Speaker 1: waiting for more to appear. I want to thank our
- 20:04Speaker 1: partner that is making this very important program possible, and
- 20:10Speaker 1: it is a legal Zoom. When you run your own business,
- 20:16Speaker 1: you know, time equals money. That's not just an old saying,

- 21:24Speaker 1: Lauren Savon has to say about Weinstein. We got downstairs.
- 21:28Speaker 1: There's like two guys peeping up in a kitchen. He
- 21:30Speaker 1: shooes them away, He tells them to go um, and
- 21:34Speaker 1: he says, let me walk you through. And we walked
- 21:37Speaker 1: through this kitchen into um like a vestibule where they
- 21:40Speaker 1: were like bathrooms and a hallway, and the door out
- 21:43Speaker 1: to this restaurant was locked. It was closed, and that's
- 21:48Speaker 1: where he cornered me in this vestibule and um leaned
- 21:53Speaker 1: in and tried to kiss me, which I immediately rebuffed
- 21:57Speaker 1: and said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I had no idea that
- 21:59Speaker 1: that's what this was. I'm sorry. You know, I have
- 22:02Speaker 1: a very serious boyfriend and I'm not interested, and I
- 22:06Speaker 1: thought it would end there, but that's when he blocked
- 22:11Speaker 1: the entrance or exit for me and said, well, then
- 22:16Speaker 1: just stand there and be quiet. And that's when I realized, oh,
- 22:21Speaker 1: did you know what was about to happen? No idea,
- 22:24Speaker 1: no idea. I was completely shocked, and yet, what is
- 22:28Speaker 1: going to happen? Like stand up and stand there and
- 22:30Speaker 1: be quiet. I had no idea what was going to happen,
- 22:33Speaker 1: and it it happened very quickly, and he immediately um
- 22:38Speaker 1: exposed himself and you know, began pleasuring himself. And I
- 22:43Speaker 1: just stood there, dumbfounded. What are you thinking in this moment?
- 22:49Speaker 1: I was so shocked. I could not believe what I
- 22:53Speaker 1: was witnessing. Could not believe what I was witnessing. It
- 22:57Speaker 1: was disgusting and kind of pathetic really to stand there
- 23:01Speaker 1: and look at this man, you know, but more than
- 23:05Speaker 1: the disgusting act itself, which of course was gross, um,
- 23:11Speaker 1: the the demeaning part of it all that that just,
- 23:15Speaker 1: you know, twenty minutes earlier, he was having this great
- 23:18Speaker 1: conversation with me, and I felt so great and flattered,
- 23:21Speaker 1: A buy it and then stand there and be quiet
- 23:25Speaker 1: just a few minutes later just negated any any warm
- 23:28Speaker 1: feelings I had, and I realized, oh, that's what this
- 23:30Speaker 1: was all about. When he was done, you say he finished?
- 23:35Speaker 1: When he was done? Were their words exchanged? He finished,
- 23:39Speaker 1: and I said, can I go? Now? I was pretty
- 23:42Speaker 1: annoyed at that point that he had and what he
- 23:45Speaker 1: said blocked my way and he said, yes, let's go,
- 23:48Speaker 1: let's both go. Did you think it all in the
- 23:49Speaker 1: moment about getting out of there, pushing past him while
- 23:52Speaker 1: it was happening. The truth is, um, yes, I mean,
- 23:56Speaker 1: if I think back, I could have pushed past him.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I mean, he's a very he's a large man, and
- 24:01Speaker 1: so he was blocking the entrance. But I mean, I
- 24:04Speaker 1: think if my life was threatened, I absolutely would have
- 24:06Speaker 1: been able to fight my way out. But the shock
- 24:08Speaker 1: of what I was watching just kind of makes you frozen.
- 24:13Speaker 1: How long did it last? It was? I remember being
- 24:15Speaker 1: relatively quickly. Um, I don't remember it going on that long.
- 24:19Speaker 1: I was surprised, you know, I was like thinking that
- 24:24Speaker 1: I should go. I don't, you know, I don't know
- 24:26Speaker 1: what to do. Back to Alexis tres Chuck with Radar
- 24:30Speaker 1: Online dot Com, you know, alexis one woman. Lauren O'Connor
- 24:36Speaker 1: sends a scathing email to executives and colleagues within Mirraormax
- 24:42Speaker 1: and the Weinstein Company, outlining sexual harassment and a toxic
- 24:47Speaker 1: work situation. One alleged victim rights a screenplay all Right
- 24:54Speaker 1: about Weinstein allegedly attacking her sexually. An the woman goes
- 25:00Speaker 1: to nyp D and agrees to wear a wire to
- 25:05Speaker 1: catch Harvey Weinstein. What more does it take, Alexis, do
- 25:09Speaker 1: I have to take out an ad on Third Avenue?
- 25:13Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein is a sex predator? I mean, if these
- 25:17Speaker 1: women are telling the truth, what else did it that
- 25:19Speaker 1: has to be done to get a prosecution? This district
- 25:22Speaker 1: attorney spent approximately zero time researching this case. They investigigated
- 25:28Speaker 1: it quote unquote investigated for one week, and they said
- 25:32Speaker 1: that the evidence just wasn't there to Convictorvy Weinstein. Meanwhile,
- 25:35Speaker 1: the Special Victims Unit, not just the TV show, the
- 25:38Speaker 1: real Special Victims Unit said everything that they did was
- 25:42Speaker 1: so by the book. They felt like they had rock
- 25:44Speaker 1: solid evidence. They handed it over to the d A.
- 25:47Speaker 1: They did everything they could. This is the cops did
- 25:49Speaker 1: everything right. This victim, alleged victim, if you will, did
- 25:52Speaker 1: everything right. In the district attorney still ignored it and
- 25:57Speaker 1: let Harvey Weinstein go. Harvey Weinstein has and arguably the
- 26:00Speaker 1: most powerful man in Hollywood for the last thirty years.
- 26:03Speaker 1: He has fingers in every business that there is. He
- 26:07Speaker 1: has friends in the media, he has friends in Hollywood,
- 26:10Speaker 1: and he managed to get these stories squashed for decades
- 26:13Speaker 1: about him, and it looks like he even managed to
- 26:15Speaker 1: get the d A to roll over and not prosecute him.
- 26:18Speaker 1: The other day, stage actor Nathan Lane outlined an incident
- 26:25Speaker 1: that he had with Harvey Wine, saying not of a
- 26:27Speaker 1: sexual nature, but a disturbing incident. He basically said, Lane,
- 26:32Speaker 1: who I have loved ever since bird Cage, Okay, I'll
- 26:36Speaker 1: never forget. Laugh until I cried at that. He said this,
- 26:40Speaker 1: I don't have a film career. I can say the truth.
- 26:42Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm with you, Nathan Lane. I
- 26:45Speaker 1: don't have a film career, so I can say the
- 26:47Speaker 1: truth as I see it. And the truth is, if
- 26:50Speaker 1: these women are telling the truth, then there needs to
- 26:55Speaker 1: be a criminal prosecution. And let me ask you this choice.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Light and you're the veteran trial lawyer, defense attorney out
- 27:01Speaker 1: in l A. Troy. We've got one woman from christ Church,
- 27:05Speaker 1: New Zealand. You've got another woman and several women from Europe.
- 27:10Speaker 1: You've got women from l A, You've got women from
- 27:12Speaker 1: New York. How do they all get together and then
- 27:15Speaker 1: collude with Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Julie and Rose McGowan.
- 27:20Speaker 1: How they all get together and come with the same
- 27:24Speaker 1: m Oh, Troy, isn't that quite the coinkie think? Well,
- 27:27Speaker 1: it's interesting, Nancy, that you're saying that all of these
- 27:30Speaker 1: incidents date back to the mid eighties and here it
- 27:33Speaker 1: is in seventeen and we're just hearing about it now,
- 27:37Speaker 1: and so you know, a lot of people might be
- 27:40Speaker 1: coming out of the woodwork hearing what others are saying
- 27:43Speaker 1: and trying to get in on any potential settlements. In fact,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Lauria Alread, his is asking trying to shame uh Harvey
- 27:51Speaker 1: Weinstein into into waving the statute of limitations that if
- 27:58Speaker 1: these stories are true, he should be a shame. You're
- 28:01Speaker 1: trying to shame him. I think it's not so much,
- 28:04Speaker 1: Gloria that it should make him a shame, but the
- 28:07Speaker 1: three counts of alleged ray should be a little embarrassing.
- 28:13Speaker 1: And what is he talking about Gloria already allegedly shaming,
- 28:17Speaker 1: which I disagree with. Laton Alexis toss Chuck Well. Gloria Alread,
- 28:23Speaker 1: during her press conference called on Harvey Wine, said, Harvey, Look,
- 28:27Speaker 1: there are so many cases out there, women that have
- 28:29Speaker 1: come forward with their names. Women that have not revealed
- 28:34Speaker 1: their names, but they've reached out to lawyer. She said,
- 28:35Speaker 1: they are going to be so many cases against you.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I am calling on you to do one of two things.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Enter into confidential mediation with these women, or enter into
- 28:46Speaker 1: arbitration where you would go in front of a judge,
- 28:49Speaker 1: you would present your side, these women would present their side,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and then a judge would decide what happened. She said.
- 28:54Speaker 1: She was challenging him basically to do the right thing.
- 28:57Speaker 1: She says, if you're vindicated, then you're vindicate it. If
- 29:00Speaker 1: you're saying that you didn't do any of this, then
- 29:02Speaker 1: an impartial judge will decide if you are guilty of it,
- 29:05Speaker 1: then you need to take responsibility and basically pay up, because,
- 29:09Speaker 1: as she said, the statute of limitations has passed on
- 29:11Speaker 1: so many of these cases in so many states, and
- 29:14Speaker 1: so she wants Harvey Weinstein to step up and do
- 29:16Speaker 1: the right thing. You know, it's it's bigger than that,
- 29:21Speaker 1: I believe Troy Slaton, because if these accounts are true,
- 29:27Speaker 1: than the Weinstein Company and Mirrimax are on the hook
- 29:30Speaker 1: because they knew what was going on and even facilitated it.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Come on. As soon as these allegations went public, four
- 29:39Speaker 1: of the eight all male board members left the Weinstein company. Coincidence. Now,
- 29:48Speaker 1: if this is true, Nancy, then they better hope that
- 29:50Speaker 1: their business liability insurance is really the premiums have been
- 29:57Speaker 1: paid because they are not kidding for a lot of money.
- 30:01Speaker 1: I mean, just go with me, Troy, and I know
- 30:04Speaker 1: you're defending Weinstein, and all of these at this juncture
- 30:07Speaker 1: are allegations that have not been proven in a court
- 30:10Speaker 1: of law. It's hard not to believe it with now
- 30:13Speaker 1: thirty women claiming basically the same scenario. And I mean,
- 30:20Speaker 1: is what is Gwyneth Paltrow says the same thing. She
- 30:22Speaker 1: tells The New York Times that Weinstein touched her inappropriately
- 30:26Speaker 1: and suggested having joint massages in the bedroom before she
- 30:31Speaker 1: started shooting Emma she had. She gave an outcry, as
- 30:36Speaker 1: we call it in the law to her then boyfriend
- 30:39Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, and he confronted Weinstein. I mean, if he
- 30:45Speaker 1: will allegedly confirmed he confirmed through his reps that he
- 30:51Speaker 1: did confront Harvey Weinstein. Dr Tiffany Sanders joining me out
- 30:55Speaker 1: of Chicago. If he would dare to allegedly do that
- 30:59Speaker 1: to a star like Gwyneth Paltrow, What do you think
- 31:02Speaker 1: he'll do? Just some receptionists answering the phone attempt from
- 31:07Speaker 1: an agency, What's gonna happen to her? Absolutely his he
- 31:10Speaker 1: has his abuse of the power of powers is problematic, Nancy.
- 31:14Speaker 1: And he has no shame, no guilt, no remorse. And
- 31:17Speaker 1: he repeatedly does these actions over and over and over again.
- 31:21Speaker 1: He's not thinking of any consequences. How is emotionally impacting
- 31:24Speaker 1: his victims. He moves on to the next prey, makes
- 31:27Speaker 1: the next big movie, and then goes on about life.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Mary's a beautiful woman, makes millions of dollars with no
- 31:33Speaker 1: thought of any repercussions. And I'm very happy to see
- 31:36Speaker 1: that this is finally coming from light because these victims
- 31:39Speaker 1: really need to have their voices heard and someone advocate
- 31:43Speaker 1: for them. Let me ask you something, Troit. I'm gonna
- 31:47Speaker 1: take off my prosecution and crime victim hat, and you
- 31:51Speaker 1: take off your defense attorney hat, and let's say analysis
- 31:54Speaker 1: for real, what's the likelihood that any criminal prosecution is
- 31:59Speaker 1: going to have? You know, there are jurisdictions where there
- 32:02Speaker 1: is no statute of limitations on ripe. New York City
- 32:05Speaker 1: is one of those, and the law recently changed in
- 32:08Speaker 1: California to eliminate the statue of limitations for rape. And
- 32:14Speaker 1: so the short answer is, I don't know. I don't
- 32:18Speaker 1: know what evidence would be admissible. Of course, the habit
- 32:22Speaker 1: and routine evidence of the prior bad acts could be
- 32:25Speaker 1: brought in. Uh. He's certainly not clear of criminal legal jeopardy.
- 32:31Speaker 1: But as far as him waving his rights, uh, with
- 32:36Speaker 1: regard to the statue of limitations, I don't see that happening.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Regardless of what Gloria already is saying. You know, alexis
- 32:44Speaker 1: when I read some of these accounts. Oh hey, speaking
- 32:48Speaker 1: of Gloria already, take a listen to what Gloria tells us.
- 32:53Speaker 1: A number of accusers have contacted me about their allegations,
- 32:57Speaker 1: but I've had to inform them that the statute of limitation,
- 33:00Speaker 1: that arbitrary time period set by law has expired and
- 33:05Speaker 1: is therefore too late for them to assert a legal claim.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Mr Weinstein could, however, decide that he would like to
- 33:12Speaker 1: resolve these allegations and wave and agree not to assert
- 33:16Speaker 1: the statute of limitations. That is exactly what we believe
- 33:20Speaker 1: that he should do. Mr Weinstein may believe that some
- 33:23Speaker 1: of these claims are false, or he may believe that
- 33:26Speaker 1: some are true. He may believe that he has not
- 33:30Speaker 1: had his day in court on these allegations, and that
- 33:33Speaker 1: he has not been treated fairly. Many women who allege
- 33:37Speaker 1: that they are his victims feel the same way. I
- 33:41Speaker 1: believe that there is a way to provide justice for
- 33:43Speaker 1: these alleged victims and for Mr Weinstein. I am inviting
- 33:48Speaker 1: him to agree to engage in an arbitration of these claims.
- 33:53Speaker 1: With these alleged victims and with an agreed upon retired judge.
- 33:58Speaker 1: The women could present their claims of sexual harassment, and
- 34:02Speaker 1: Mr Weinstein can present his defense. If the judge finds
- 34:07Speaker 1: in favor of the victims, the judge could award damages
- 34:11Speaker 1: according to proof at trial. If Mr Weinstein prevails, he
- 34:15Speaker 1: would be able to announce the result to the public.
- 34:19Speaker 1: In the alternative, he could also agree to a confidential mediation.
- 34:24Speaker 1: This is a process to resolve these claims. This proposal
- 34:28Speaker 1: is similar to what I suggested to Bill Cosby. He
- 34:33Speaker 1: was not wise enough, however, to accept my invitation to
- 34:36Speaker 1: resolve the allegations against him. Will Mr Weinstein accept the
- 34:41Speaker 1: offer of a process that is fair to him and
- 34:45Speaker 1: will help to provide a system of justice to his accusers.
- 34:49Speaker 1: There is an actress that says she was called to
- 34:53Speaker 1: a late night meeting with Weinstein in two thousand eight
- 34:57Speaker 1: and many places assests within the statute. He led Tolie
- 35:00Speaker 1: emerged and guess what a bathrob and told her he
- 35:05Speaker 1: would green light her and maybe script if she watched him.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Let's see, how should I say this on a public station?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Um pleasure himself? Sheilla aft the mating take a listen
- 35:19Speaker 1: to it. Louise sett Guiss has to say. I first
- 35:23Speaker 1: met Harvey Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival. I next
- 35:27Speaker 1: saw him at the Sundance Film Festival in two thousand eight.
- 35:31Speaker 1: He invited me to his premiere of Where in the
- 35:34Speaker 1: World as Osama bin Laden. After the premiere, he asked
- 35:38Speaker 1: me about my music company and the script that I
- 35:41Speaker 1: had written and was pitching at the festival. We agreed
- 35:44Speaker 1: to meet at the hotel restaurant we were where we
- 35:46Speaker 1: both were staying. When we arrived, we were asked to
- 35:50Speaker 1: leave shortly after at the restaurant as they were closing.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Harvey then offered to reconvene the meeting in his office,
- 35:58Speaker 1: which was adjacent to his hotel room. M Obviously, I
- 36:01Speaker 1: was hesitant. I had heard some stories previously about Harvey's
- 36:05Speaker 1: behavior with women. So there was a hotel security camera
- 36:11Speaker 1: right above us, and I said to him, I will
- 36:14Speaker 1: take this meeting with you if you will shake my
- 36:16Speaker 1: hand that you will not touch me. And he shook
- 36:19Speaker 1: my hand and kind of laughed it off. We went
- 36:23Speaker 1: to his office and we had a great conversation about
- 36:26Speaker 1: his current film and the film that I was kitching.
- 36:29Speaker 1: He seemed genuinely interested and I was excited. After about
- 36:34Speaker 1: thirty minutes, he asked to excuse himself and go to
- 36:37Speaker 1: the bathroom. He returned in nothing but a robe with
- 36:42Speaker 1: the front open, and he was buck naked. He told
- 36:47Speaker 1: me to keep talking about my film and that he
- 36:49Speaker 1: was going to hop into his hot tub that was
- 36:51Speaker 1: adjacent to the room, just steps away. When I finished
- 36:56Speaker 1: my pitch, I was obviously nervous and just kept asking
- 37:01Speaker 1: me to watch him masturbate. I told him I was leaving.
- 37:05Speaker 1: He quickly got it out of the tub and grabbed
- 37:08Speaker 1: my forearm as I was trying to grab my purse,
- 37:11Speaker 1: and he led me to his bathroom, pleading that I
- 37:14Speaker 1: just watched him masturbate. My heart was racing and I
- 37:19Speaker 1: was very scared. I pulled my arm away finally and
- 37:24Speaker 1: headed to the door. He started following me and telling
- 37:27Speaker 1: me that he could introduce me to Bob Wine scene
- 37:30Speaker 1: and that I could get a three picture deal and
- 37:32Speaker 1: that he would green light my script. But I had
- 37:34Speaker 1: to watch him masturbate. I was on the very verge
- 37:38Speaker 1: of tears, but I pulled it together and quickly exited.
- 37:44Speaker 1: I told my sister, and I told a good friend
- 37:46Speaker 1: of mine immediately after, and over the years when people
- 37:50Speaker 1: asked me why I got out of the movie industry,
- 37:52Speaker 1: I would tell them this story. Even though my parents
- 37:57Speaker 1: raised me to be a strong and independent woman, I
- 38:00Speaker 1: never ever, ever thought that I would have any chance
- 38:03Speaker 1: to stand up for myself against Harvey Weinstein. I knew
- 38:07Speaker 1: if I said anything that he would have a ton
- 38:09Speaker 1: of lawyers on my on my back, and no one
- 38:12Speaker 1: would trust me over him. I know I'm not special.
- 38:18Speaker 1: I know that this has happened to many women, and
- 38:21Speaker 1: it's the fear and pain of sexual harassment that is
- 38:24Speaker 1: released on one's mind, body, and soul that I'm trying
- 38:27Speaker 1: to stop. Sexual harassment has become commonplace in the entertainment industry.
- 38:33Speaker 1: And to be fair, most women that I now have
- 38:35Speaker 1: a story about being sexually harassed or abused in this business.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I am only now feeling confident enough to come forward. Okay,
- 38:46Speaker 1: I got another one, and it's not jess Rose McGowan
- 38:49Speaker 1: and Gwyneth Paltrow. Angelina Jolie, who is now known around
- 38:54Speaker 1: the world for her good works and humanitarian positions. Jolie
- 39:00Speaker 1: told The Times she had to turn down advanced sex
- 39:05Speaker 1: advances from Harvey Weinstein, and that she chose then to
- 39:11Speaker 1: never work with him again. She said she warned other
- 39:17Speaker 1: women about Weinstein. Now she had the luxury of not
- 39:22Speaker 1: having to work with him, But a lot of women
- 39:26Speaker 1: across this country don't have the luxury. If they want
- 39:31Speaker 1: to put food on the table, they have to put
- 39:34Speaker 1: up with this kind of crap, this kind of criminal
- 39:38Speaker 1: activity allegedly. I'm thankful that Jolie, after all she has
- 39:44Speaker 1: lived through in her life. Yeah, I know she's beautiful.
- 39:48Speaker 1: I know she's got this beautiful family and all this money.
- 39:54Speaker 1: She's lived through a lot. Okay, I'm glad you did
- 39:57Speaker 1: had the choice not to have to work with him.
- 40:02Speaker 1: A lot of women don't have that choice. Look around,
- 40:07Speaker 1: Look around, Think of the people you know in your life. Statistically,
- 40:11Speaker 1: one in four, some studies say, one in five women
- 40:17Speaker 1: have been sexually attacked, have been sexually harassed, have been
- 40:21Speaker 1: sexually assaulted. You know them. They may have never told you,
- 40:28Speaker 1: You may not know who they are, but you're around
- 40:31Speaker 1: them every day. And I pray to God my daughter
- 40:38Speaker 1: and son never have to endure the life long shame
- 40:47Speaker 1: and revulsion and sometimes self loathing that sex victims have
- 40:55Speaker 1: to live with the rest of their lives. We're waiting
- 41:01Speaker 1: on justice, and we're waiting to find out if these
- 41:05Speaker 1: allegations are true. Okay, grab some popcorn, getting your favorite spot,

- 42:00Speaker 1: on the lookout for the better deal. Right, No, it's
- 42:03Speaker 1: it's not what it looks like. I'm sure it's not.
- 42:06Speaker 1: You know what. You don't have to explain to me, honey,
- 42:08Speaker 1: I've heard it all. Well, you must have already met
- 42:12Speaker 1: your prince. What Mr Wright, you know you're signor Well?
- 42:19Speaker 1: Speaking of Mr Right, here comes the next one. Wow,
- 42:23Speaker 1: you could use a revolving door, maybe even a conveyor belt,
- 42:27Speaker 1: but I can tell you from fifty ft Awaite, that
- 42:30Speaker 1: is not Mr Right. Thanks for your help, Hi, Margharite?
- 42:38Speaker 1: Does to please? Sure Margarite is? I'll make yours a
- 42:42Speaker 1: double on the house? Oh? Thank you, Josh. What is
- 42:47Speaker 1: the premise of dating is murder? Well, it's basically uh
- 42:53Speaker 1: focuses on Hailey Dean having to um put herself in
- 42:59Speaker 1: the pathway of Dane You're at this time in order
- 43:01Speaker 1: to catch the killer. Because okay, you know what, Josh,
- 43:05Speaker 1: break it down. Have you ever met anybody online? Don't
- 43:07Speaker 1: don't lie? Okay, just just tell me and uh from
- 43:12Speaker 1: what I recall if you're let me just say colorful history.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Some worked out and some didn't correct. Would that be
- 43:21Speaker 1: fair to say? To say? But none of them turned
- 43:25Speaker 1: out to be serial killers? And that, sadly is what
- 43:28Speaker 1: Haley is up again. Well, not that we know of, Josh,
- 43:32Speaker 1: not that we know of You know, you're so picky.
- 43:35Speaker 1: You could have gotten rid of a serial killer without
- 43:37Speaker 1: even knowing it. You could maybe you didn't like the
- 43:39Speaker 1: way you looked or rewalked or whatever. Long story short
- 43:44Speaker 1: been a shame. Isn't that a shame? If if, if
- 43:47Speaker 1: I let the good one go? But my point is,
- 43:50Speaker 1: so many people, I mean, it's so common. Now, how
- 43:52Speaker 1: did you guys meet online? You know for a long
- 43:55Speaker 1: time that people will be embarrassed. They're not embarrassed, and
- 43:58Speaker 1: they shouldn't be embarrassed. Oh no, it's become you know,
- 44:01Speaker 1: it's become more um, it's become more you know, acceptable,
- 44:07Speaker 1: socially acceptable to meet somebody through an online app or
- 44:11Speaker 1: even through social media than it is to meet somebody
- 44:14Speaker 1: at a bar. I mean people are no are no
- 44:17Speaker 1: longer happy to say either that you know, I met
- 44:20Speaker 1: I met him at a bar, sitting on a bar
- 44:22Speaker 1: stool next to me. So I think now it's very
- 44:25Speaker 1: commonplace for people to be using apps like, you know,
- 44:28Speaker 1: similar to match dot com or okay, Cupid or plenty
- 44:32Speaker 1: of Fish. I mean there's so many of them now,
- 44:34Speaker 1: tender um. And so in this movie, um, you know,
- 44:39Speaker 1: somebody who an acquaintance of Hayley Dean's um meet somebody
- 44:44Speaker 1: online and uh, it doesn't go well, let's just leave
- 44:48Speaker 1: it that. Now here's a little tidbit that nobody knows
- 44:52Speaker 1: when Josh and No we're working on the screenplay, and
- 44:55Speaker 1: these characters come from uh the novel my novels on
- 45:01Speaker 1: Haley Dean, a prosecutor turned therapist. Um, when we were
- 45:06Speaker 1: working on screenplay, I mean it's pretty obvious Halley has
- 45:09Speaker 1: to Helly Dean has to go onto the website and
- 45:13Speaker 1: start dating people, start meeting them to try to figure
- 45:16Speaker 1: out which one could be a killer. And I had
- 45:21Speaker 1: written in all these scenes uh that are from true life,
- 45:24Speaker 1: Like one woman has a date from online and the
- 45:27Speaker 1: guy picks his nose all the way through dinner. Okay,
- 45:30Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Jackie here in this studio was just like
- 45:33Speaker 1: holding holding her face. Yeah, I mean a real excavation.
- 45:37Speaker 1: It was an archaeological excavation into his nose, all right.
- 45:41Speaker 1: For some reason, hallmart xna that why, I don't know. Okay.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Then I had one. I wrote one in where she
- 45:49Speaker 1: has his dinner and the guy was like talking about
- 45:52Speaker 1: how he saved money all the time. Then he leaves
- 45:54Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom and they leave her with
- 45:57Speaker 1: he leaves her with a check and leaves. Okay, that
- 46:00Speaker 1: one somehow ended up on the editing floor. But I
- 46:04Speaker 1: had all these awesome, awful dates, Josh. Do you remember
- 46:08Speaker 1: all the dates that we came up with that I
- 46:11Speaker 1: absolutely loved. But for the sake of brevity, they have
- 46:14Speaker 1: to cut some of them out. Well, and not just brevity,
- 46:17Speaker 1: but we're telling them their serious story here. I know.
- 46:21Speaker 1: But you didn't like the booger scene. Well, I mean,
- 46:24Speaker 1: I come on, Josh, it was an awesome moment in
- 46:27Speaker 1: TV movie history. Come on, Okay, maybe next time we'll
- 46:32Speaker 1: save that. And that's what what would have punched the
- 46:35Speaker 1: AMBI for sure. Hey, you know what is you like
- 46:37Speaker 1: to say? Let's put a pin in that. Maybe we'll
- 46:41Speaker 1: use it next time. So the point of the movie
- 46:44Speaker 1: is it's a thriller. It's a thriller about can she
- 46:49Speaker 1: catch a killer before he kills again or kills her.
- 46:53Speaker 1: But there is another note to this, and it's about
- 46:56Speaker 1: online safety. All are joking aside, it's about online safety
- 47:02Speaker 1: and dating safety online, Josh. So some of those safety
- 47:07Speaker 1: tips are. First of all, don't include a surname or
- 47:10Speaker 1: any reference to your workplace or your school name okay,
- 47:15Speaker 1: because anybody can find you whether you want them to
- 47:18Speaker 1: or not. Don't give out your name, your full name,
- 47:21Speaker 1: your location, your real phone number, information that a creep
- 47:25Speaker 1: could use to track you down. Don't have somebody call
- 47:28Speaker 1: you on a friend's number. That can be just as
- 47:31Speaker 1: dangerous as giving out your own number. Stop all communications
- 47:37Speaker 1: if someone doesn't respect those boundaries or they insist on
- 47:40Speaker 1: this personal information too soon. Be careful of the photos
- 47:45Speaker 1: you post. Do not post photos with your license plate
- 47:49Speaker 1: showing the outside of your home, your mailbox, or surroundings
- 47:55Speaker 1: that can identify your location. And all of these have
- 48:00Speaker 1: been highlighting on our website crime online dot com. Subtle
- 48:05Speaker 1: but important tips for online safety and that's the tip
- 48:09Speaker 1: of the iceberg. Agree or disagree, Josh, well, I totally agree,
- 48:14Speaker 1: having having having been dating online myself at one time.
- 48:19Speaker 1: So yes, so you're off the market. I didn't say
- 48:24Speaker 1: one way or the other. I just said at one
- 48:26Speaker 1: time I dated online. Man of Mystery. Okay, guys, I
