America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 562 The situation is over
After the interviews with two major opinion leaders on MiTu were exposed and the Helen Show was broadcast, anyone with a keen sense of smell could see the direction of public opinion. The incident between Pitt and Ben Affleck was like a preview of this incident, letting people know what to do next.

To everyone's surprise, Gwyneth Paltrow was the first to jump out.

After punching Pitt and kicking Ben Affleck, her two ex-boyfriends, she jumped out and angrily criticized Harvey Weinstein, telling the story of how he harassed her several times, forced her to go to the hotel for massage, and how she escaped cleverly in fear.

From traditional newspapers to television, from the Internet to emerging social media, news about Harvey Weinstein is everywhere.

Entertainment is completely on the opposite side of Harvey.

"Hollywood's No. 1 villain!"

"Sexual Assault Harvey Weinstein!"

“Harvey, the cancer of the industry.”

Similar news emerges endlessly.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Rose McGowan left the terminal, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the police station.

The heroine of "Planet Terror" has been waiting for this day for too long.

Not only did Harvey have sex with her, he also made fun of her for not being pretty enough, not having good skills, and having body odor.

Intolerable!

The roads in front of the Beverly Police Station were extremely crowded, with hundreds of media reporters gathered here, and TV broadcast vehicles from Warner TV, NBC and CNN were parked nearby.

Rose McGowan stopped the taxi early, and after getting out of the car, she opened her throat and shouted loudly: "I am a victim of Harvey Weinstein! ME TOO! I was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein!"

The camera in the reporter's hand reacted faster than their brains and turned around immediately.

Rose McGowan shouted the MeToo slogan and walked towards the police station door.

Although she is not even a second-tier star, she is not a strange face to entertainment reporters. Many people know who she is and that she has collaborated with Miramax and Weinstein Company many times.

Surrounded by reporters, Rose McGowan walked into the police station and called the LAPD, saying that she had been raped by Harvey.

Harvey's lawyer, deputies and others are currently processing his bail and are trying to get Harvey out first to take charge of the situation.

The formalities were almost completed when someone from the police station suddenly informed them: "Sorry, there is a new development in the case. Mr. Weinstein cannot be released on bail for the time being."

"Why?" Lombardo demanded.

The lawyer took a tough stance: "This is an infringement of my client's legal rights..."

"Please let me finish." The police officer interrupted him: "Just now, another victim came to the police station to report the case and provided solid evidence. Mr. Weinstein needs to stay for a while and cooperate with our investigation."

And? The lawyer knew the situation was not good and said some harsh words, but there was nothing he could do.

Lombardo once again contacted the politicians they had funded in California, but his personal phone was not connected. When he called the office phone, they said the person was out traveling or something like that.

In the past, he thought the Weinstein brothers were surrounded by good people.

Now all the good guys are gone.

…………

The Ritz-Carlton, Beverly Hills.

Léa Seydoux checked her personal belongings one last time and confirmed that the memory disk containing the video and audio recordings was in her bag.

Martin was answering the phone at the window when he hung up and said, "Two victims came into the police station today to report the crime, Rose McGowan and Asia Argento."

Léa Seydoux asked: "Italian model and actress Asia Argento?"

Martin nodded, "Yes, they accused Harvey of being strong."

Léa Seydoux picked up her bag and said, "Now it's my turn."

Martin said: "The hotel car is waiting for you at the door. Don't worry. He can't turn over this time."

"Thank you!" Léa Seydoux came over and kissed Martin, and said sincerely: "You gave me a chance to wash away the humiliation."

Martin encouraged: "It is your courage that has brought you to this path."

"I'm going." Léa Seydoux left the room without hesitation, went downstairs to the hotel, got in the car, and headed straight for the Beverly Police Station.

Martin returned to the Davis studio in Burbank.

Not long after, Louise entered Martin's office and brought good news: "Kelly just informed me that Senator Erica was interviewed and specifically expressed her views on the Harvey incident. It's almost time, watch CNN."

Bruce got the remote control, turned on the TV, and switched to CNN.

At the exact time, CNN news started broadcasting, and Martin soon saw Erica on the TV screen. The senator from Georgia, who started out as a woman's rights defender, focused on Harvey Weinstein at a rally.

"These past few days, I have been very sad watching the news being updated in real time. Harvey Weinstein's behavior is unforgivable! The way he treats those vulnerable and talented young women is unacceptable in any setting! There should be zero tolerance for such despicable behavior that insults the dignity of women, anywhere in the world, and in any workplace."

Erica seemed particularly excited, and almost took out the pink kettle and took a big sip on the spot: "I call on the federal and California judicial systems to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Hillary Clinton also spoke out, publicly condemning Harvey Weinstein's behavior.

At the same time, a press conference was held in front of San Francisco City Hall, where Mayor Gavin was accompanied by his wife Jennifer Siebel.

In front of dozens of reporters, Jennifer recounted the incident of being raped by Harvey in 2005 and announced that she had called the Los Angeles police. In addition to providing the little evidence she had, she would fully cooperate with the Los Angeles police's investigation.

She spoke out loudly for #MeToo and called on other victims to take the initiative to stand up and speak out for #MeToo: "I know that it is a terrible thing to bravely stand up against sexual abuse and oppression, but we must unite and let everyone remember our voices. This is the power of women, and it is our power!"

Gavin hugged his wife tightly and said to the media camera: "I support my wife unreservedly and face the difficulties and pain with her, because I believe that justice will come. I will do my best to help her and all victims to get the fairness and justice that belongs to them!"

In the past, he gave people the impression of being a playboy and a promiscuous and cheating man, but this time he fully supported his wife and showed an image of a brave, upright, family-oriented and responsible person.

There was extremely warm applause at the scene.

Gavin is not just talking, he has already mobilized his own political and media resources.

This is no longer a simple case but is developing into a social movement sweeping across the United States.

Gavin, Erica and Hillary, who are political creatures with a keen sense of smell, are well aware of the political benefits they can gain from this.

They all joined in.

Once the wall has collapsed, there is no need to push it anymore. All that remains is to throw the ruins into the cliff and smash them into pieces.

The lawyer found that it was too difficult to get bail for Harvey as victims kept coming to the police station to report the crime, and the LAPD needed Harvey's assistance in the investigation according to procedure.

Because the video and audio that Bob sent to Los Angeles matched some of the victims who had reported the case, the police applied for an arrest warrant as quickly as possible.

The entire Hollywood, the entire Los Angeles, and even the entire American entertainment industry was in chaos.

The reporters were excited. While digging deep into the Harvey case, they also discovered a news expansion direction that could attract public attention.

Interview Harvey's former close friends and ask them to give their opinions on the matter.

This kind of thing is so interesting and will definitely attract the onlookers.

As a result, paparazzi appear in front of the homes and workplaces of Quentin, Robert Rodriguez, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.

Meryl, who had a close relationship with Nicholson, was the first to become a traitor. This performing artist who had publicly shouted "Harvey, my God" not only publicly expressed her break with Harvey, denounced Harvey's shameless behavior, but also called for severe punishment for him!

Judi Dench, who had Harvey's name tattooed on her butt, washed off the tattoo as if nothing had happened. She said she had no knowledge of Harvey's evil deeds, would never work with him again, and fully supported MeToo.

Members of the Foot Gang like Quentin, Rodriguez and Matt Damon broke away from the Gang with almost no resistance.

However, these people claimed that they did not know what Harvey did.

In contrast, Charlize Theron's words in an interview were much more sincere: "I am not surprised at all by what Harvey did, because he harassed me, and this trend has a long history in Hollywood."

She specifically mentioned: "I also reminded some actresses later that they should be careful when working with him. If he invites you to the Four Seasons Hotel, it's best not to go."

In just a few days, Hollywood stars have taken sides and without exception stood against Harvey Weinstein.

Because the number of victims who have reported to the Los Angeles police has exceeded 50!
Among them are some well-known actors such as Asia Argento and Rose McGowan.

Erica and Hilary's statements and promotion, and Gavin and Jennifer's press conference, politically announced Harvey's death sentence.

However, these are nothing, the most shocking thing happened.

The Weinstein Company held a press conference after a board meeting, where a spokesperson announced the board's decision.

In light of Harvey Weinstein’s actions, the board of directors unanimously decided to remove Harvey from the board and terminate his positions at Weinstein Company.

Bob Weinstein becomes new chairman and CEO of Weinstein Co.

When this news was conveyed through the mouth of his lawyer to Harvey, who was still detained because of the continuous emergence of victims, the movie tycoon who had been a big shot in Hollywood for 20 years seemed to have aged 30 years in an instant.

"How could he do this! How could he do this!"

Bob's betrayal was a thousand times more devastating blow to Harvey than Georgina's. He was confused: "Why did Bob do this? Why?"

No one could answer him, and even the lawyer thought that Harvey was doomed.
