I don't think you could find a man like Harvey Weinstein who really with impunity, went on to physically assault women and hurt them. And if you did, then other moguls would sort of, you know, bond together and get rid of that guy and kick him out, because you know they were worried about losing their business.
Imagine a time when Hollywood's glamour hid a much darker reality. In this episode of Rewired Radio, Erica Spiegelman sits down with award-winning journalist Kathleen Sharp to uncover the hidden history of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. Kathleen, the author of 'Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood: Edie and Lew Wasserman and Their Entertainment Empire', shares her eye-opening insights into the power dynamics that have shaped Hollywood for decades.
She reveals how harassment and sexual politics were woven into the fabric of the industry long before the #MeToo movement brought these issues to light. Through engaging anecdotes and historical analysis, Kathleen explains how understanding Hollywood's past can help us shape a more equitable future. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of power, gender roles, and the evolution of one of the world's most influential industries.
Don't miss this compelling discussion that goes beyond the surface glitz to reveal the struggles and resilience of those who navigated a world where harassment was often the norm.
