I NEVER called her work low class
Veiled? I thought not. But you do seem to insist on taking possession of remarks (above) that have nothing to do with you. And yes, it's not fair, it was wrong, the people he abused and sought to abuse deserved better. But steady work in one's field and $16 million isn't a bad return and I will not consider it evidence of "ruin".
I thought LJ provided a balanced view of "ruined", although to say Sorvino's work was mostly guest appearances in TV shows seems odd in view of the 45 movies since 1995 which is not exactly a dearth of film work. [Upon reflection, rubato and LJ are right; I've only seen 2 of those 45; her part in Reservation Road wasn't big and as a movie GodsandGenerals was Godawful]
I've made it clear that Weinstein deserves every minute of his sentence and I hope he serves it all (minus time off for death). I have also stated that both Sorvino and Judd suffered in their careers under Weinstein/Miramax efforts to restrict their access to roles, LOTR being the most obvious (and the only one AFAIK that any director has coughed up to).
Guin accused me of not taking these women at their word regarding the effect on their careers when I stated the exact opposite. I quoted their comments and accepted them as true. Neither claimed to have been "ruined" but again, LJ made a good point about that.
Let's all agree, Weinstein is thoroughly reprehensible and for years was enabled by the establishment (which is mostly attached to Hollywood one way or another) to hurt, harm, assault and attack women and their careers. Good riddance to him and all those like him.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
