Don't know if he did it or not but I'm going to take his advice and not run out there and be outraged. He can get himself out of this on his own.
In my mind it's too many people. Even if he didn't rape them ALL the percentages don't work in his favor. Not to mention:
As for why some of them didn't report it right away (some of them didn't wait that long)...if you have to ask that then you really have little empathy for women. There is shame, fear, guilt involved on a level that most men will never have to deal with, unless of course they've been raped...and you definitely don't see men jumping at the chance to declare that, for the same reasons.
And you ask how he can get away with it?
1. He's a POWERFUL man, in his prime during a social climate even more harsh toward women than it is now...shyt even 10 years ago is a pretty big difference.
2. He was making people a shyt ton of money.
You can't compare him to Jim Brown...not only was he making people money but he was probably the least threatening, socially acceptable black man in entertainment. (hyperbole, but yea). No way in hell are the suits in hollyweird going to do anything but cover for someone who's putting money in their pockets...especially for some WOMEN? With rape being one of the hardest crimes to prove it's much easier to sweep that under the rug in that social climate.
That being said do I put it past "them" to use hold all those cover-ups and shyt over his head once he's not making them much money or doing things that they don't like? Not at all...that's how hollyweird works. They cover up your dirt for when they have no use for you.
