America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 563 The dust has settled
The black tea poured from the white porcelain teapot was steaming. Martin poured a full cup for Leonardo and only half a cup for Nicholson.

The latter took some milk and sugar and added them to the teacup, stirring it while saying, "The foot gang is too weak and can't stand a single blow. Before I even made a move, Martin alone beat them to a pulp."

Leonardo looked at Nicholson and said, "Sure enough, we in the Face Gang have a tradition of being shameless."

Martin said: "It's you who are shameless, it has nothing to do with me."

Before the two bastards could speak, he changed the subject to Harvey: "Have you been enjoying eating melons recently?"

"Very interesting." Leonardo said deliberately: "See, what I told you was right, wasn't it? Whether it's a few months or just one night, it's not wrong to be nice to women, right?"

Martin gave him a thumbs up: "Leonardo who never fails."

Leonardo's tail stood up: "I focus on loyalty and true love."

"You two stop being disgusting." Nicholson took a sip of red tea and felt that there was not enough sugar, so he added another piece and said, "It's fun to watch the fun, but the participation is too weak."

Martin was prepared: "There is one thing, Jack, that only you can do. Leo and I don't have this ability."

Nicholson laughed. “What is it?”

Martin said: "Let the Foot Gang completely disintegrate in Hollywood!"

Leonardo asked: "It's going to be hard for Xavi to turn things around, right?"

"It's hard to turn over, but it's not impossible." Martin will not take it lightly: "So, we will press on one by one and completely crush him!"

He flicked his white porcelain teacup gently: "Public opinion and industry associations will have an impact on the judiciary."

Nicholson speculated: "You mean, let the Hollywood authorities make a statement on the Harvey incident?"

Martin smiled and said, "Jack, you're one of the old white guys."

Nicholson realized that this was really his job. He had been waiting to do something, and now he could finally show his skills. He drank the tea in the cup and said, "I'm going to talk to Warren Beatty and Sidney Ganis now."

Leonardo asked, "What can I do?"

Martin said: "As the second in command of the Face Gang, you just need to publicly distance yourself from Harvey."

Leonardo nodded: "We three will advance and retreat together, no doubt about it."

After sending the two bastards away, Martin called Thomas again and asked, "What did Ali say?"

Thomas responded: "WMA will issue a statement today."

Martin said: "Once you have the first one, the rest will follow naturally."

That afternoon, WMA held a press conference, and Ali announced on behalf of the agency that WMA would no longer cooperate with any crew involved in Harvey Weinstein.

The next day, agencies such as CAA and UTA followed suit and released similar statements.

On the same day, Leonardo's spokesperson issued a statement on his behalf that Leonardo would not cooperate with any project involving Harvey Weinstein.

Jolie and Aniston followed.

Once again, Hollywood has distanced itself from Harvey.

"Old friends, we are all people who are about to see God. What is the most important thing for us to stay in this world?"

At Warren Beatty's private party, Nicholson faced a group of old white men who looked like him and said, "Reputation! We have been so careful about our reputation for more than a decade, why should we be associated with a brute?"

Beatty's wife, Annette Bening, said: "Harvey harassed me, and if I hadn't been smart, he would have succeeded."

"Hey, honey," Warren Beatty demanded, "Why haven't I ever heard you say that?"

Annette Bening said: "I was just one of your many running buddies, and you were just one of my many running buddies, and we were not married yet."

Warren Beatty shrugged and said, "It's really lowering our standards to be around strong offenders."

This love saint claimed to have had relationships with more than 1000 women, but he admitted that he had never forced any of them.

Nicholson said: "We old guys all came from the most absurd era, even so, have we ever done something as tasteless as Harvey?"

Even if any of the white men here have done it, they will not admit it.

They all said righteously: "I am ashamed to be associated with strong criminals."

“These things are so tasteless.”

"He has seriously lowered the standard of the Oscars and the Academy."

Soon, most people's eyes fell on Sidney Ganis.

The current president of the academy knew that Harvey had incurred public wrath. Many of those present had daughters in their teens and twenties. They could accept their daughters having affairs with others for roles, but they could not accept being forcibly investigated!
Now, no one thinks that Harvey doesn't have the courage to do so.

French actress and granddaughter of Pathé Pictures chairman Léa Seydoux, Jon Voight's daughter Jolie, and Paltrow's daughter and Spielberg's goddaughter Gwyneth are all victims.

Sidney Ganis said, "I will convene the College Board."

…………

In the quiet room, Harvey looked like he had two bags under his eyes, dark and thick. The lawyer told him the latest situation: "Your wife Georgina filed for divorce in court, and on the grounds that the common property of the couple is unclear, she temporarily applied to freeze your multiple bank accounts and fixed assets..."

"Bitch!" Harvey was so upset. What could be more painful than being betrayed by the person closest to you? He looked at the lawyer and said, "I can still afford the lawyer's fees!"

The lawyer was very professional: "Harvey, I'm always on your side."

Harvey repeated his old words: "Then get me out of here."

The police station receives several reports of crimes every day, and there are new case details and evidence every day. In addition, the California Democratic Party has been putting pressure on the case, making it very difficult to get bail normally.

The lawyer said, "There is only one way now. Harvey, pretend to be sick."

Harvey's face was full of sorrow. He said, "I didn't do those things at all. They all came to me on their own initiative. I asked them to come to the hotel room, and they came on their own initiative. Isn't the meaning very clear?"

The lawyer pressed his hands down: "Harvey, calm down."

Bob and Georgina's betrayal made him unable to bear it any longer, and Harvey finally exploded: "I forced them? What a joke! It's just a small matter of putting it in and taking it out!"

The lawyer didn't know what to say.

Harvey continued, "And they put it in on their own initiative. Every time I took it out, and then they put it back in. I always took it out!"

The lawyer stopped talking and let Harvey vent freely. After being suppressed for so long, maybe he would feel better after venting it out.

It was ten minutes later that the lawyer came out.

Harvey's face was flushed and he was very emotional. As he was being pushed out by two PDs, he suddenly started breathing rapidly, covered his head with one hand and his heart with the other, and slowly fell to the ground.

He was too heavy and didn't dare to fall down too quickly, for fear that his pretended illness would turn into a real one.

As Harvey was being rushed to the hospital for examination, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Sidney Ganis announced on behalf of the Academy: "The Academy Board of Governors voted to immediately revoke Harvey Weinstein's membership in the Academy!"

This is the first time in the nearly 100-year history of the Film Academy!
The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office later announced that it had set up a special office to handle the Harvey Weinstein case.

Not only in Los Angeles, at least 20 victims have reported to the police in New York.

So far, more than eighty victims have been exposed in the Harvey Weinstein case.

The whole United States was shocked and the whole world was watching.

The MeToo organization led by Jolie and Aniston made a special trip to Washington to join Erica and others and applied to hold a massive related parade.

At the White House's regular press conference, Guan Hai also specifically answered reporters' questions about this matter, saying that the dignity of the law must be upheld and women's rights must be protected!
Recently, people have been gathering on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles every day, holding up posters and banners demanding severe punishment for Harvey Weinstein.

Georgina Chapman announced that she has filed for divorce from Harvey Weinstein.

Before the media and the Internet could make comments like kicking someone when they are down, TMZ released a video of Harvey Weinstein beating Georgina.

Not only sexual assault, but also domestic violence!
All the pressure fell on Harvey.

Georgina's lawyer also gave her a good beating and helped her take the opportunity to make more property demands.

By the end of November, the traditional Hollywood awards season had already kicked off, but the various awards received little attention and everyone's attention was focused on this event.

Harvey has been temporarily released on bail, but his travel is restricted and he is not allowed to leave Los Angeles.

The day I was released from the hospital, media reporters and various social activists gathered there, and the sound of abuse was endless.

The fat on old Harvey's face had sagged, and as he walked out of the hospital and toward the car, he held onto the wheelchair with both hands, looking like he couldn't take care of himself, and moved toward the car door step by step.

He got in the car, looked at the driver in surprise, and asked the lawyer: "Where is my original driver?"

The lawyer could only tell him the truth: "You accepted a large sum of money from World News Weekly, and they said they wanted to expose the secrets you had seen while working with you for more than a decade."

Harvey clenched his fist and unclenched it, noticing that his right-hand man hadn’t shown up either. “Don’t tell me Lombardo has also gone to the media to leak the information.”

“No.” The lawyer was exhausted. “Several girls produced evidence of Lombardo’s coercion. Lombardo reached a plea agreement with the LAPD and wants to become a witness against you.”

Harvey's heart was beating frighteningly fast. He quickly took out a medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed them.

In the past, I was surrounded by good people.

Now, all the good guys have turned bad!

Harvey waited until his heartbeat calmed down and said, "Scott, we have been friends for ten years. Tell me the truth about how serious my condition is."

The lawyer was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It's very serious. All we see when we look up are enemies. Those who supported you the most in the past are now the ones who want you to die the most. Someone also asked me to pass on a message, saying don't say anything you shouldn't say, and that you can retire peacefully in the future."

Harvey understood what this meant: "Come out? How many years can I stay here?"

The lawyer said: "Optimistically speaking, ten years."

Harvey didn't know who planned all this. He trapped himself in a cage and took the opportunity to launch the most violent offensive, causing the forces that supported him to abandon him.

But there were some things he didn't dare to say because he might commit suicide.
