True, but petitions are mostly for "little people." Famous people can sign them, but they have the visibility and power to be a kind of petition in their own right. And so many in Hollywood and on the left have defended Polanski through the years, and kept their ties to him. He's won awards since then, including at least one Oskar where the Hollywood crowd gave him a standing ovation. Wasn't it Whoopi Goldberg who said what he did wasn't real rape? And here's Piers Morgan bringing up that Ewen McGregor has supported Polanski:
why would a previously cordial McGregor be sudenly so antagonistic to a fellow celeb for criticising the Soros-funded Womens March? I mean isnt he contractually obligated to make promotional TV appearances>? no doubt a Soros-sponsred excuse to put the topic of adult-child relationships in the news cycle and perhaps generate some debate as to its morality and stigmas etc
agree with you on the soros funded left wing march..
First rule of PR: there is no such thing as bad publicity. Ewan got more column inches from refusing to do it than if he had done it. He reached a global audience by acting like a pathetic petulant child.

Its called PUBLICITY, dear. He's currently promoting his film, Trainspotting 2.

no promoting it would be doing the morning show interview not refusing it in favor of a totally manufactured left-wing march
