Interesting this new accuser is appearing with Gloria Allred, only days after her daughter stepped down on Sat. from 'advising' Weinstein:

Louisette Geiss -- a former actress and screeplay writer with credits on "Two and a Half Men" and "The Drew Carey Show" -- came forward Tuesday with the new accusations as she was flanked by her attorney, Gloria Allred. Geiss joined a score of women who have spoken against the former studio exec, including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd.
Geiss said the incident went down in 2008 when Weinstein invited her to watch the premiere of "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden" at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Geiss says Weinstein later invited her to his hotel room to further discuss the script she was pitching.
Geiss goes on to say she heard rumors about Weinstein coming on to women and made him promise and shake her hand -- while under a security camera at the hotel -- not to touch her. She says he shook her hand and laughed it off.
Then, the alleged harassment.
Allred added that while the statute of limitations has expired they're hoping Weinstein will agree to arbitration or a confidential mediation.

I'm just wondering what sort of game they are playing. I'm suspicious that all these A listers and others are coming out with these charges and that Gloria Allred and the New York Times are participating. Its like they are outing one of their own. I keep looking for the trick. Only trick I can think of right now is maybe they are trying to twist the narrative from child abuse monarch narrative to a simple sexual harassment narrative.
I profess that I do not know but sexual harassment is like stealing bubblegum in their industry. i.e. no big deal.

Let's see if Cernovich was 100% right. The word "pedo" comes to mind. They can bury the fact that he is just a pig.
Honestly, if you've never seen the cartoon character Spanky Ham from the series Drawn Together - YT it. That is Weinstein.
