How did he get away it with it?

In his 2001 Miramax film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (executive producer: Harvey weinstein) actor, writer and director Kevin Smith, perhaps better known as his own character Silent Bob, has Chris Rock's character Chaka Luther King say the following:

>I film the motherfucker, right? Then I yell "cut", then I run the fuck outta here, go to my trailer cause I got more white girls in there than the first lifeboat on the titanic and they all want a part in my movie and I've got just the part for them.

Quite explicitly making light/fun of the exchange of physical intimacy for (possible) movie roles.

In response to the many abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein, Smith came out with an emotional response:

>With tears in his eyes, he told his Hollywood Babble-On podcast audience: 'My entire career is tied up with the man. Everything I did in the beginning has his name on it. And I spent many years lionising him, telling stories. Whenever I tell the Clerks story, there's, you know, and then we got bought by Miramax.

>'I'm not a victim in this. This is not about me at all. We know who the victims are. But my sh*t is tied up with this man…

>'I just wanted to make some f*cking movies, that's it. That's why I came, that's why I made Clerks. And no f*cking movie is worth all this. Like, my entire career, f*ck it, take it. It's wrapped up in something really f*cking horrible.'

Seems like quite the overreaction doesn't it?

>Like my entire carreer, fuck it, take it

Unless you happen to remember this one line from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, many years ago. So how much did Kevin Smith really know about Harvey Weinstein and his supposed ways and why has no one in the media asked him about this? How did he get away with it Sup Forums?

>I got more white girls in there than the first lifeboat on the titanic and they all want a part in my movie and I've got just the part for them

kek so based

I was in the audience when Kevin Smith "Retired" at Sundance at the screening of Red State.

It was the most pathetic display I have ever seen. And he mentioned Harvey in the speech, and was filled with all of these utopian ideas about how digital cinema will change the world blah blah blah

The dude is purely a sentimental soul, and he'll get over this shit in a week.

He would not turn in his films so that he wouldn't be ass fucked by Harvey. He's full of shit, in other words, virtue signaling like the rest of them.

And his bad acting doesn't help.

>So how much did Kevin Smith really know about Harvey Weinstein
It's pretty much an open secret that actresses made their careers on their back even Disney Land made fun of it

The scenes involving his own daughter in Holidays and Yoga Hosers are super creepy.
Loads of shots focused on her ass in Yoga, playing a slut in Holidays...

You actually watched that shit?

Everyone knows Hollywood is full of whores who want fame and men who want to fuck whores. But of course actors will act like they're shocked by these recent "revelations".

Kevin Smith is a fat degenerate and deserves no sympathy.

He's not talking about getting assfucked

At best, he's talking about reaping the rewards of the exploitation, at worst he's trying to admit guilt over letting actresses suck his dick for roles without getting himself crucified

Harvey is my hero.

>With tears in his eyes
Lay off the fucking soy!

>This whole fucking post
Are we all just pretending sluts didn't fuck disgusting old men for parts in movies since the fucking 50s now? I expect as much from Meryl Streep but you're better than this Sup Forums

Of course.
Do you think I'd just go online and shit on movies I never watched? That's insane.

>Unless you happen to remember this one line from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, many years ago. So how much did Kevin Smith really know about Harvey Weinstein

It's astonishing to me how many people pretend that they didn't know that actresses did sexual favors for Hollywood big shots for parts. This has been openly known and mocked for years. Now it's rape? Get the fuck out of here.

And while I don't think he's at all funny, Louie did absolutely nothing wrong.

He'd never get away with it, his wife is a massive dominating cunt, and his daughter is exactly the same. If he had a SINGLE black smudge on his sexual history the first person to throw him under that gigantic bus would be his wife.

the casting couch has always existed in hollywood. not every joke about it is a reference to weinstein.

This. It's been there forever.
My grandpa used to work in Hollywood back in the 50's and he told me you don't get roles if you don't use your holes.

we are saying it should be illegal for women to fuck men for parts.

I'll do you one more. It should be illegal for women to be in film

How am I gonna fap them?

Fap to dudes you idiot

Traps.

>50s

Smith is an untalented genuine nice dude in a world of sharks.

but that's gay

>Like my entire carreer, fuck it, take it
talk about selling in a down market

While this is obviously true Kevin has spend an extraordinary amount of time publicly speaking about his relationship with Weinstein and this otherwise offhand joke was made in a movie produced by Weinstein himself who was of course at the center of nearly all of the recent outrage.

The only reason I'm seeking anything more behind it, is the extreme reactions of Kevin Smith himself to these allegations.

If it turns out your boss happens to have been secretly raping kids you wouldn't publicly go around speaking about how they can just take your career now, would you? And raping kids is a whole lot worse than adult women choosing for themselves to sleep around for much sought after work.

Nigger, you're gay.

>my entire carreer, which lead to meeting my wife and subsequent daughter, fuck it, take it
I'm sure they appreciate that.
