Roman Polanski Calls ‘MeToo’ Movement ‘Collective Hysteria’ And ‘Total Hypocrisy’

By CHRIS WHITE

Hollywood filmmaker and accused sex offender Roman Polanski called the “#MeToo” movement an example of mass hysteria that sometimes catches fire in society.

The movement is a type of “collective hysteria of the kind that sometimes happens in the society,” he told a Polish edition of Newsweek before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences pulled his membership.

Polanski fled the U.S. in 1977 while after being convicted of having sex with a minor. He also compared the film industry’s response to the wave of recent sexual misconduct allegations to the way North Korea treats dead leaders.

“To me, this is total hypocrisy,” he said. “Everyone is trying to sign up, chiefly out of fear.” The Academy yanked the membership positions of both Polanski and comedian Bill Cosby, who was convicted May 3 of aggravated indecent assault.

Polanski, for his part, remained in good standing with the Academy for four decades despite fleeing to avoid prison time after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. He was nominated for five awards and even won Best Director for 2003’s “The Pianist” — an award he will not be required to surrender.

The psychiatrist who evaluated Polanski in Chino Prison did not classify him as a pedophile.

She did not look prepubescent. Kenneth Fare's probation report signed by Irwin Gold: " the victim was not only physically mature, but willing"

>The probation officers quoted a pair of psychiatrists as saying that Mr. Polanski was not “a pedophile” or a “sexual deviate.”

If you read Samantha Gailey's testimony it's pretty suspect: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/roman-polanski-grand-jury-transcript?page=18 because he's taking Jack Nicholson's Qaaludes and merely asks if she wants one and she flips from No>Okay while alluding to him having said something but not actually quoting him.

Cato when you say he "doped her up" it makes it sound like he snuck it into her drink without her knowing. Same bullshit that people do with Cosby. If you read http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/roman-polanski-grand-jury-transcript?page=20 she mentions he gave it to her but that she was aware of what it was, and it was less than half a tablet.

Polanski says he didn't drug her at all, though I don't know if that's merely a denial or drink-spiking or a denial that he stole Jack Nicholsoon's Qaalude pill to begin with. Apparently his bio Roman by Polanski (haven't read it, only seen excerpts) only talks about drinking wine together.

Why don't you take a seat and tell us why you are defending blatant pedophilia and convicted child rapists and predators? I mean, that is totally not suspicious at all what you are doing.

And doesn't Polanski actually stay out of the US to keep himself from getting butt-fucked?

 

[sperginity]

Oh, right. If a child consents to consuming drugs you supply them with before you sodomize them, that makes it okay. My apologies.

I really appreciate it when people defend Polanski because I have no qualms about using the ignore function in response. I am glad to be spared interaction with such people on other parts of kf. It's important to engage with different points of view...most of the time. Arguing about child rape is my personal limit.

@tyc I wonder what you consider "mature enough to fuck", how about we start with your lolicon looking avatar?

Only time I want to hear about Polanski

In what world does that not look like a 13 year old girl?

VHS I didn't say she didn't look 13, I said she did't look prepubescent. No strawmanning

Derp: Yes, he's afraid of going to jail again. Polanski did a 2010 rant "I can remain silent no longer" explaining the issue after the salty response to 'Wanted and Desired' documentary:

On February 26 last, Roger Gunson, the deputy district attorney in charge of the case in 1977, now retired, testified under oath before Judge Mary Lou Villar in the presence of David Walgren, the present deputy district attorney in charge of the case, who was at liberty to contradict and question him, that on September 16, 1977, Judge Rittenband stated to all the parties concerned that my term of imprisonment in Chino constituted the totality of the sentence I would have to serve.

Polanski admits to breaking the law, and voluntarily returned to the U.S. when he could have stayed in Europe, to serve the agreed-upon psychiatric observation for a month.

His point is that the judge was butthurt the psychiatrist wouldn't call him a pedo and wanted to go back on his word and increase the sentence anyway.

The whole point of plea bargains is you skip ahead in the process and go right to agreed-upon reduced sentencing. If judges don't honor the terms of a plea bargain, the accused will never take them, as it undermines confidence in judiciary. That's the issue California should be resolving first.

Gunson v. Rittenband is the issue that needs to be resolved here, because if Gunson (the guy who chose to prosecute Polanski is write) Rittenband was just being an attention-whore and not honoring the plea bargain that the prosecution agreed upon with the defense.

At first, I thought the title read Roman Polanski slams 14-year-old.
Yeah, out of the hashtags from ugly women about #MeToo, this one, against Polanski is the most deserving.

Charming. Clearly Polanski has a guilty conscience or he would not fear the legal system, especially since even under the most generous definition of his actions he still anally raped a child, and please spare me the doubletalk to rationalize it.

 

[Mason Verger]

I always hear "the judge was out to get him!" Sure, he probably didn't like an effete rapist, he could've had any ass in Hollywood, he WANTED a minor.

If you're ok with what Polaski did, then you're saying that you're ok with every creepy old science teacher that rapes a freshman girl in his class.

As much as I hate corruption in our system I honestly don’t care if the judge gave him absolute hell during his trial. I couldn’t be assed to care because, and make sure you’re reading this part well; he drugged and anally raped a child. Quit while you’re not entirely behind dude.

@tyc has been threadbanned for derailment. This thread isn't to argue about pedophilia. It's to discuss the article in the OP. While debate on related topics is welcome, it's going off-base here. Reign it back in or the thread gets locked.

 

[Mason Verger]

Even though I wouldn't mind if the guy drowned in a septic tank, him trolling his supporters is pretty funny.

I remember when Asia Argento got called out for supporting Polanski while also decrying her own rape and exploitation. She had to backpedal furiously.

 

[Dorsia.Reservation]

What's even more fucked up is as Polanski was raping this poor kid, Anjelica Huston was in the house and heard her cry for help (she even talks about it in her autobiography). She did nothing.
It was only after police came to the house to investigate Polanski and found cocaine on Anjelica did she agree to testify against him to get off on her own drug charges.

Because the entire board takes the bait?

Charming. You are better off throwing your child to wolves than to Hollywood - there's a chance the wolves will raise him to found a city or become a superhero.

She was raped? The only weird thing I know is that Dario decided to make her his "muse" and shit got creepy.

Yeah, but not by Dario, some other producer or director. We can still watch susperia.

Oh shit, it was Harvey Weinstein:

This actually brings it back on topic. It's weird that it's not talked about more, I guess Asia just isn't "Hollywood" enough for TMZ.
