Everyone's body language here doesn't seem coincidental. This all looks very gross.

She is about to be used for things by that man and the car is for her to never tell anyone about it.

So Oprah knew about that shit?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 98 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oprah was a frequent flyer to Epstein Island and was friends with Weinstein. She also promoted John of God, a faith healer, on her show, and he was later prosecuted for sexual assault and rape. She pulled out of producing a documentary on Russel Simmons when it started investigating the allegations against him.

She also platformed Drs Oz and Phil, neither of which has been accused of sexual crimes (that I'm aware of), but I mention them because they are shitty scam artists.

There is a multi part behind the bastards on Oprah.

I feel like he went pretty easy on her - lots of sympathy for her upbringing, criticism for her schools but not for shitty stuff like this.

The kinda fucked up ex gf of Kurt Cobain, I can't remember her name, who was a bit of an enfant terrible in those hollywood circles back in the day has famously warned every woman ever to not go near weinstein into a camera back then, long before he was ever actually accused of anything.

So my personal guess is that yes, all those rich and famous people knew that shit. Same as with the epstin stuff. Just a bunch of degenerate rich fucks who think normal people are theirs to use as they please.

Courtney Love. That was in 2005.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

Very interesting that everyone tried to pin Kurt Cobain's suicide on her after that.

[–] nick@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus Christ that’s disheartening

Oprah knew Weinstein. They might have been friends. She may or may not have believed the rumors but if I was hearing them as a guy in a liquor store in Boston in the early 00s there's no way in hell Oprah hadn't heard them.

Oprah is friendly with lots of sex criminals.

Oprah's expression kinda looks like "get away from us." Whoever the younger woman is clearly already knows what's up too and is telling him to fuck off with her eyes

[–] tophneal@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago

The man in the left side of the frame appears to be Harvey Weinstein

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

There's a theory, and I think it fits far too well to not be the actual plot, that Mulholland Drives story is about an actress that was forced to use the casting couch (which seems to be what Oprah and Rita are sitting on) in order to get roles.

Im not going to try to remember all the points, cuz my memory sucks, but it's basically her regret and shame of using the couch method, and then watching other younger stars get better roles, who probably did the same thing.

Who is the girl in the picture?

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

She is going to get you a ride though. Just not the kind of ride you had in mind.
