Those of us who don't worship celebrity culture and can see the entertainment industry for the cesspool it is could see this coming a mile away when America's former favorite TV dad, Bill Cosby, had been accused of rape an assault by dozens of women. If Cosby of all people was this sleazy, then all bets are off for the rest of the industry from now on.
What's funny is that when the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby started coming out a few years back, he was immediately called out by his Hollywood and media peers and has basically been persona-non-grata in the entertainment industry ever since (recall Tina Fey and Amy Poehler basically roasting him at the Golden Globes a couple years back).
Fast forward to 2017, and we now know that Cosby wasn't even the tip of the iceberg when it came to the sleaze that has permeated Hollywood culture for decades, all while the Hollywood crowd continues to act holier-than-thou and lectures the rest of us on morality (i.e. how DARE the US elect Trump as its president instead of Hillary). Yet folks in Hollywood and the media haven't nearly gone after Weinstein and all the others accused of sexual assault and misconduct the way they went after Cosby. Maybe it's because Cosby didn't tow the line and virtue signal enough to Democrat / progressive causes (nor raise a shit ton of $$$ for them) the way Weinstein and his cohorts had done for decades to be able to get a free pass on assault and rape.
And to top it all off, this has now spilled outside of the Hollywood circle and over into many other industries such as the news media / journalism and even the political realm. You know things have gone south in a hurry when journalists who for years have carried water for Bill and Hillary Clinton are now throwing Bill under the bus since he's no longer of any use to them.
