Weinstein sounds so desperate to get her in there. Clearly he was in need of his "fix" that night.

Sure, you can argue that she doesn't need to give the money back, that it didn't come from the bad behavior (and someone I'm sure can argue otherwise). But what "should" she do and say in this situation? Her answer shows how clueless she is to how she looks and comes across. This argumentative approach, saying that there is no one to give the money back to (what?), and then saying she will take care of all of this at the end of the year when she give 10% of her income to charity. That just raises a lot more questions. Are you giving all the money to charity? Or just part of it? Can you do that with political donations? Which charities? And are you just going to count that as part of your 10%, or in addition to your 10%?
No doubt she anticipated this question would be asked, and that is the answer she came up with. She's defensive (maybe for good reason?). How about a full-throated "We gave all the money back. I wrote the check yesterday." or " We gave all the money to such-and-such charity that focuses on women victims of sexual abuse?" followed by another condemnation of this behavior.
This is why we have Trump as our president.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

If the democrats were smart they would distance themselves from Hillary just like if the republicans were smart they would distance themselves from Drumpf. I don't even see enough collective intelligence in both parties to do that."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

My favorite conspiracy radio entertainment in the morning is sounding off on this now.
Apparently most of the Hollywood studios and content distribution companies are owned by China. Who isn't owned by China? Weinstein's company. This is all just an elaborate scheme by China to force Weinstein to sell his company so that they can pick it up and further their means of controlling the media and messages the American people hear out of Hollywood.
