Kathy Bates on MeToo: 'In my day, if you went to a guy’s hotel room, you knew why you were going'

Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates has weighed in on the era of #MeToo, saying that “times were different” when she was coming up in the business and a lot of “casting couch” encounters were “consensual”.

The veteran actor said the landscape of the industry looked very different in her early career — years before allegations against Harvey Weinstein sent shockwaves through Hollywood.

The 71-year-old Richard Jewell star told The Guardian she had a “confession” to make “about people like Weinstein and the casting couch and all of that”.

Bates said: “In my day, if you went up to a guy’s hotel room, you knew exactly why you were going and in those days it was consensual.

“Times were different, but I really support the women who are coming forward now and I’m not happy about the men who are being accused falsely – but the ones who deserve all they’re getting, my feeling is hey, go for it.”

It’s not really all that “Real”, every situation is different.

Harvey was a straight rapist.

Russell’s cases sounding real rapey.

So once the threshold of the motel room is crossed that constitutes a binding agreement to fuck no matter what? So if you have a dirty skidmark in your underwear or she sees your bottle of antiviral medication she's still obligated to fuck? What if she has a green discharge or tells you that three years ago she transitioned from male to female can you break the contract?

 

[55th View]

Well, that's the only way Kathy was getting into sob body's crib late at night anyway. It had to be a guarantee before that bitch even hopped in her car for the ride over.

Wasn't nobody trying to talk and watch a movie w/ Kathy at 2AM.

 

[MistaPhantastic]

I suspect you might be right.
Feminists will sacrifice everything for their victim card; even one of their own.
Like I said, they will shame her. Her publicist or manager will demand that she ap[ologize or they will drop her as a client and she will begrudgingly oblige.

Two points and I'm out of here:

1: casting couch went to pretty chicks. Wasn't nobody casting couching Kathy Bates

2: yeah, it may have been consensual, but a lot of those casting couch or situation was filled with empty promises. Bitches they had no intention of putting on, it was just an easy head or an easy fuck

Real talk, that's probably why Bill Cosby is in jail right now. He promised to put bitches on, and he didn't put them on

 

[doug777]

Just trying to dispel this belief that once people agree to fuck that nothing that's done, seen or said can possibly cause someone to change their minds.

So you're gonna be that guy, huh?
There's always a contrarian in the crowd.
Extenuating or extreme circumstances aside, you know damn well what she means.
She means don't go to midnight "auditions" or "readings" at a casting director's hoe-tel thinking its about the job.
She means chicks who did knew what they were in for.
Don't be that guy that tries to claim women have no agency over their actions.
That's some bullshit. You can't be taken advantage of if you don't show up and if you do show up, you're expecting to get something out of it.
Bitches like Rose McGowan disgust me with their bullshit. If you don't want to get hit by a car, stay yo ass out of the street.

And never in the history of womandom has a woman led a man on or dropped an empty promise, right?
And Bill is in jail because a corporation wanted him there. Don't be fooled by the bullshit. Follow the money.

When con men (or women) get conned, who cries for them (besides simps)? I don't know. Hollyweird is full of hustlers and prostitutes. Can't say I feel sorry for any of them, really.

and Kathy may have seen a couch or two. Weinstein ain't the only MF with a couch and a lot of those MFs look about like him - dudes that wouldn't get women if they didn't have money. Just because she ain't pretty doesn't mean her mouth don't work.

I look at your post and what I posted and I'm like the barber from Coming to America like shit, you right lol

 

[flx2000]

I was pissed at him and her
him for making her do that
her for actually doing it instead of walking out like fuck this shit.
she claimed to be a christian but still succumbed to this bullshit

More like because of a D.A whose wife was a victim of sexual assault herself,and a gung-ho judge
