Part 8/13:
The long-standing scandals surrounding figures like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Kevin Spacey are examined, emphasizing the possibility that industry culture protects predators through silence and complicity.
Notably, Danny Masterson, of That 70s Show, was recently sentenced to 30 years for sexual assault, with some experts speculating whether the case was deliberately used as an industry "show trial" to send a message or make an example—especially given the lack of physical evidence and the long period before conviction.
The discussion highlights that Hollywood fosters an environment where abuse can flourish, shielded by its own bureaucracies and silent bystanders, despite increased awareness and #MeToo activism.
