This fine article supports my long-held belief that any opinion endorsed by film stars or pop singers is very possibly bullshit.

It is reprehensible, but it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.
When a frightened young actress is sexually assaulted by a powerful Hollywood man, she knows her career is over if she says anything. She'd be denounced, called a liar and could never work again.
The only reason people listened to the women in the "Me,too" movement was because so many of them spoke up at the same time. The same thing happened with the women being raped by Bill Cosby..the first women who dared speak up were mocked.

I cannot know what was in the celebrities minds for not speaking up, but being a survivor myself, I hesitate to judge too quickly.
Was it purely self-interest? The knowledge of what could happen to their lives?... Or, like me, could they have had issues they had to get settled in their minds, .... that - whatever their fame/money - they couldn't summon the needed courage?
Yes ,it might have been selfish opportunism, I agree, that IS despicable.
I just don't know.

I understand that point. And about those who did laud those predators, I agree, they were wrong, whatever their reasons.
