    From Wiki: Asked about longstanding speculation that Ronan Farrow is the son of Mia Farrow's ex-husband Frank Sinatra, Mia stated in a 2013 Vanity Fair article that Sinatra might "possibly" be Ronan's father.[2] After the allegation became widespread in the news media, Ronan tweeted humorously on October 2, 2013, "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son."[70] On February 7, 2014, Woody Allen expressed his uncertainty in The New York Times, writing, "Is he my son or, as Mia suggests, Frank Sinatra's?"[71] In 2015, Vanity Fair asked Nancy Sinatra about Ronan being treated as if he were a member of their family. She answered in an e-mail, "He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives."[72] No DNA testing has been reported to determine Farrow's paternity.[2]

    The Sinatra offspring, btw, claim ole Blue Eyes has a vasectomy and therefor Ronan cannot be his.

    Meanwhile, back to Harvey... Add Cara Delevinge to the list of actresses he tried his move on.

    There’s no binary choice of movie producers, where one is accused of sexual harrasment/assault, and the other is accused of enabling the sexual assault of their partner.

    If their was, it would be a tough choice.

    In the case of Weinstein, it’s easy to never work with him, condemn him, and ostracize him.

    Instead, despite everyone now, who are basically saying that they knew the guy was a (passionate) asshole, but didn’t know he was a sexual predator, folks were happy to work with him.

    And, it’s disgusting how these directors would excuse themselves, leaving vulnerable actresses alone with him. They knew the drill. As did the assistants, who couldn’t arrange for a car service until the actress accompanied him to his hotel room.

    Will try to be respectful and not personal here: Why would agreeing to a legal settlement of $100,000 that was negotiated by lawyers as a way to avoid a civil or criminal prosecution preclude her from being angry for 20 years? Wouldn't it stand to reason that, as a 23-year-old actress in an industry where she had zero power and plenty to lose by speaking out, she was resigned to getting what she could from him for pain, suffering and something that might help her pay for extensive therapy (a subject she has been open about needing)? There is something horrifying about saying "if you take whatever pittance of money offered because you know that's all you can get, you have no right to complain forever.

    You defend the same person daily here. You fell off that high horse about a year ago.
