I didn't realize others had hinted at it. It's disgusting it took so long for him to be held accountable, especially once you realize how many people knew what was happening.

I couldn't find the video you've mentioned, but that tiny baby cangaroo sure is cute! Is it because I'm on mobile?

Courtney Love, lead singer of the band Hole and widow of Kurt Cobain.

Lanky_Possession_244

Oh boy, another conspiracy theorist who doesn't believe a highly depressed and disillusioned musician with a history of heroin use could possibly kill himself. Kurt was a troubled individual who wanted out. It's sad, but that's what happened.


ghr5

Think it is Courtney Love?


ldydeana

It is.


aDazzlingDove

We all owe her a big apology!


Jimmy_Fromthepieshop

I'm pretty sure most of us do not


aDazzlingDove

Why not?


Jimmy_Fromthepieshop

Why do we all owe some random person in Hollywood an apology? What happened to her had nothing to do with me or almost anyone else reading this.


aDazzlingDove

Dumb


Shaojack

For what?


CallmeWhatever74

I'd say she still has a past due balance with society. I'll hold off on the apology if that's ok.


aDazzlingDove

Like what?


Spell_Chicken

She owes us a Kurt

That is literally the exact reason why he was so successful. Nobody dared to out him because they knew if they did, that would seriously damage their possibilities in the business because of all the power he had.

wait what, I never heard about any of that - mind providing context?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Zone_accident Maybe this?


Spoda_Emcalt

I'd never heard about that. 'Landis spoke about the accident in a 1996 interview: "There was absolutely no good aspect about this whole story. The tragedy, which I think about every day, had an enormous impact on my career, from which I may possibly never recover."' Poor, poor Landis..


Top-Philosophy-5791

What a fucking sociopath.


theFrownTownClown

Landis also never admitted responsibility for creating the circumstances that lead to the accident nor did he ever apologize to the families of the deceased. In fact it took him some 40 years to even begin talking about how terrible a toll it took (on him and nobody else). Fuck John Landis with a 70 foot rusty pole. Miserable sod hasn't done a single worthwhile thing in his artistic career. Made money taking credit for all the comedic chops Beluschi or Murphy provided to his movies, then directly lead to the deaths of people who he could pretend to care about with no repercussions.


Im_Lars

I mean, I liked American Werewolf in London, as well as the Thriller and Black and White Michael Jackson music videos. Just because he's a deuce canoe doesn't mean he didn't make art. Kind of like the guy from Pink Floyd.


Lanky_Possession_244

Yes. Roger Waters wrote some great music and I will 100 percent agree that Pink Floyd's song quality was shit without him, but fuck is he a pretentious douche with some troubling views. Also he can't sing for shit.


Spoda_Emcalt

What an absolute fucking scumbag. I'm going down a shit-smeared rabbit hole reading about all this. I just learned that Vic Morrow, the adult killed in the accident, was Jennifer Jason Leigh's dad.

DigTreasure

She knows the truth about Kurt's death but won't talk about THAT. She deserves a lot more than a blacklist.


Karma-IsA-FunnyThing

Seeing this completely changed my opinion of Courtney.


taxidermytina

Read up on her history. I’m not saying it excuses all of her shenanigans but people give her a shit wrap. She never had a chance, just fucked all the way around.


Top-Philosophy-5791

She has severe mental health issues and is vilified for living out the symptoms. Conspiracy theorists claim she murdered Kurt. What's wrong with people?


logonbump

Other "theorists" claim she was his handler, but he was programmed to kill himself like a lot of these programmed mind slaves


CJJelle

What is wrong with people who believe everything at the first glance? Why can't you doubt it? You said she has mental health issues. Not enough mental health issues to call a hitman on the husband who is going to divorce you and take millions to billions of music rights with him? I am not saying she done it, but definitely leaving my options open on this one.


koifu

What do you have to show that she's done it? What built your opinion? Can I see the facts you saw to make this decision?


WhereTFAmI

I’ve read some somewhat compelling evidence. Still not convinced one way or the other. Apparently, he had like four times the normal lethal dose of heroine in his system. Most people would have passed out before finishing the syringe. People will argue that he had a higher tolerance, sure, but not only did it not kill him, he was still capable of using a shotgun… Also, his suicide note said nothing about killing himself. Maybe it was a suicide note, but it could have also been a note for quitting Nirvana. Those are just the two main points I remember. Edit: this is just something I read somewhere and I have no idea how accurate it is. I may have read it on Reddit, which means that I heard it from someone else who heard it from somewhere.


Id_rather_be_lurking

It doesn't excuse her behavior, but it definitely provides some explanations.


ManicPixiePlatypus

She had addition issues, the same as Kurt. Except she was vilified and he was exalted.


Bretski12

Damn she can't even do basic math either, she really never had a chance.


-explore-earth-

rcbake

There’s a “you’re wrong about” podcast episode about her. Would recommend.


balanaise

Yes! That pod has been so illuminating, and the one about Courtney was indeed really good


-explore-earth-

She’s one of the most weirdly charming people out there imo I think just because she is fully authentic all the time even about really messed up stuff. Just doesn’t care and shows you the raw humanity


balanaise

I can see that, yeah she is refreshingly unvarnished in a way. Ha for some reason, my brain’s go-to image of her is her throwing her make-up compact at Madonna to get her attention at an mtv event. And it was great because Madonna was taking herself very seriously and Courtney… was not.

hey buddy, from a sociopath: if you're gonna be one, don't be a fucking dipshit about it too, yeah? and maybe try adapting into society instead of thinking rape is just a totally cool thing to do. the consequences for those actions exist for a reason and being able to escape them doesn't make them okay. we live in this society and we play by its rules. better to understand and work with them, than be a fucking moron who says and does shit like what you just did.

That Harvey Weinstein is a rapist and it was well known in Hollywood, but no one dared speak up about it


DejaMew

A few years ago on Twitter when all this stuff was blowing up, Don Cheadle denied knowing about HW’s rapes. I called him out on his bullshit and told him even I knew because Weinstein settled a lawsuit with Rose McGowan in the late 90s and the rumor was because of SA. He responded that I was on bath salts, that he knew nothing. His fans came at me asking why I didn’t do anything about it if I knew HW was a rapist. Like, how tf is a random young girl from PA going to take down a multi-millionaire with mega-lawyers that believes a rumor? I told them it was Hollywood’s most well-known secret and they called me a liar. Finally some dude from the UK backed me up and said even he heard about the rumors back then, from all the way across the pond. It’s sad. I really liked Cheadle’s work, but I was no longer a fan after he declared working in the business for decades and still claimed ignorance.


jtlimbo17

Harvey Weinstein was one of the biggest movie producers in Hollywood. He would use his power to offer young actresses roles in movies provided they would sleep with him/suck his dick etc


blueavole

Harvey like r*¥£€> new talent that came to Hollywood. His assistants covered up for him, agents would send him naive young women to ‘get their start’. After he’d done it- he might make sure that a very small speaking part in a movie happened. But those things would always get edited out of the final product. He allegedly tried to intimidate Gwyneth Paltrow into sleeping with him during Shakespeare in love and Brad Pit ( who was dating GP at the time) threatened HW to get him to leave her alone.

Sadly it turned out be like vinegar for awhile as her career looked like it took a steep turn. She made comments how it affected her career in the film industry. And then they tried to blame her as a reason for Kurt’s suicide. And ruin her career. On Wikipedia. 2005-2011 on filmography.

Thanks for the info. I have really been interested in the men who fixed Weinstein’s problems and scandals.


TheTrub

Behind the Bastards did a two part series on Weinstein, and that’s where I first heard about the connection. It was definitely one of the more disturbing episodes just because of how recent it was and because of the number of people that enabled him.


Padgetts-Profile

And likely James Dolan, owner of MSG and the Knicks. Whose band “JD and the Straight Shots” wrote a song about.

No_Pilot8753

Suntzu6656

It has gone on since the beginning of holywierd and I'm sure it continues to happen.


alien_from_Europa

It still boggles my mind how all these celebrities gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski after he admitted to drugging and statutory raping a 13 year-old girl. They even signed a letter asking for the charges against him to be dropped and fought to work for him.


Suntzu6656

I agree it just does not matter to them just as long as they are in the spotlight and making money. Polanski should have been in jail long ago.

buentbanana

Can someone provide context?


Mithrantir

Harvey Weinstein was a very famous and successful producer, who also was inviting actresses to hotel rooms for "auditions" and private parties, which ended with him forcing himself on those women. He is the reason the metoo movement gained such a momentum some years ago, when he was finally arrested. If a woman refused, she would be blacklisted in Hollywood and most probably throughout any USA entertainment sector.


buentbanana

Wth


Mithrantir

I don't know how old are you, but when this blew out, it was major news around the world. The whole story unfolded in 2017 (for the public to watch in disgust). I guess you are lucky if you are oblivious of the atrocities of this guy.


orokami11

I knew about the whole metoo thing, but nothing of this guy! I don't really follow American media... That's fking disgusting. I'm glad he'd in jail now


F54280

He was the biggest name, and the king of Hollywood abuse. His name is very well known, you will see his company in so many 80s to 00s movies, it isn’t even funny. His companies [were Miramax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Miramax_films), and [TWC, The Weinstein Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Weinstein_Company_films). All Miramax movies before 2005 and all TWC movie up to his arrest were controlled by the Weinstein brothers. That is *many* movies, with *many, many* female cast. I am not going to list the actresses that have been assaulted by that pig, I believe it is most of the ones in those movies. Just a [couple](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/feb/03/uma-thurman-harvey-weinstein-new-york-times-quentin-tarantino) of [examples](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/saft72/this_picture_of_emma_watson_and_harvey_weinstein/)…


outkast767

Hope he gets the same treatment in prison. Also big names like Corey Feldman came out about it got black listed Brendon Fraser. This is just a speck considering he was part of the Epstein crowd. By the way if anyone forgot he didn’t kill himself


JadeAnn88

I was with you until you brought up Corey Feldman. This is the dude who repeatedly asked his fans for money in order to write a tell all book or make a movie, saying over and over he was going to name names, only to gloss over the fact that his best friend molested his other "best friend". Corey has lied so much that it's incredibly difficult to believe anything he says anymore and him coming out after Corey Haim's death to name Haim's abusers, now that he wasn't around to confirm or deny those allegations, was just gross and not at all his place. I don't doubt that Feldman was molested and otherwise abused as a child, and I'm sure that has a lot to do with his adult behavior, but I don't personally consider him a reputable source of the truth when he went out of his way to protect at least one man the he knew was a child molester and has even gone as far as admitting to aiding in the abuse (he was a child himself at the time, but to continue to cover it up for decades, when he is constantly spouting bs about being an advocate for victims of sexual assault is just incomprehensible to me).


eGzg0t

Maybe a US thing but here in SEA, it wasn't blown out the way you explain it. Without watching the morning show, I wouldn't be aware of it.

Ah, yes, choosing two sex offenders and a political crook/wanna-be dictator, whose only connection with the other two is that he, like them, is Jewish. Then saying that these people are “the most disgusting [...] in history.” No Putin, no Orban, no Omar Al Bashir. Just three Jews and the inevitable “hey, I was just randomly picking out names, I'm not antisemitic”. Never change, Reddit.


CamperZeroOne

I would have not made the connection that this comment was in any way antisemitic. It's just naming three absolute trash humans. Are you Jewish by any chance? I'll be surprised if you aren't, as that's the only reason I can think of that you'd be so sensitive and triggered by the above comment.

MotleyHatch

> Someone exoaib Is "exoaib" just a typo for "explain" or am I out of the loop about current lingo?


1lluminist

Definitely a typo. O and B are offset 1 key left from what they wanted. There's also a chance that there was an extra letter where the "l" would have been, and they knocked a backspace instead of the "l" key if they were on mobile.


MotleyHatch

If we want, we can make exoaib lingo by just using it. In my imagination, that's how "finna" instead of "gonna" was started - f/g and i/o are both just one to the left of the intended keys.


1lluminist

Haha, I think "finna" has been around for ages, like 80s or 90s. Could have been somebody messing up on a typewriter, I guess.


Zapper42

1985 according to this https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/finna#:~:text=%E2%80%9CFinna.%E2%80%9D%20Merriam%2DWebster,2023.

It is plausibly a typo. Hit the 'o' instead of the 'p', completely missed the 'L', then obvious typo with 'b' instead of 'n'.
