Susan Sarandon hints of more Hollywood sexual predators

Susan Sarandon has hinted that more sexual predators in Hollywood are yet to be revealed in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

The Oscar-winning actress, 71, told the NY Daily News’s Confidential that a women she knows who has already come forward about an abuser was also ‘drugged and assaulted’ by a different industry person, but is ‘too worn out’ to speak up again.

‘Some of the women who have come forward have had other men, equally severe and cannot go through it again,’ Sarandon told the gossip site.

‘I know one who told me about a drugging situation and I said, ‘Are you going to come forward? Are you going to do something?’ And she said she’s just so worn out. Because this woman has already had to come forward with a lot…She said, ‘I just don’t have the strength to come forward.”

The veteran star was among the first big names in movies to express support for Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan after they went public with their experiences of movie mogul Weinstein.

She told Confidential in a piece published Saturday that she remains angry about those who enabled predators to prey on their victims.

‘I really am furious with the people that enabled, that delivered the girls because I know there were agents and managers that didn’t allow people to go to a hotel room for an interview or went with them,’ she said. 

Back in October, after Judd shared her story with the New York Times for the article that exposed Weinstein, Sarandon took to Twitter to express support.

‘Huge respect for @AshleyJudd and all the women who broke their silence for the article on Harvey Weinstein. Brave,’ she tweeted.

Back in October, after Judd shared her story with the New York Times for the article that exposed Weinstein, Sarandon took to Twitter to express support.

‘Huge respect for @AshleyJudd and all the women who broke their silence for the article on Harvey Weinstein. Brave,’ she tweeted.

In the wake of the torrent of sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein, he was fired from the company he co-founded with his brother Bob and has become a pariah in Hollywood.

More than 50 women have now come forward with claims about Weinstein, with allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape.

On Friday, the LA Times reported that the LAPD has 28 open sex-crime investigations linked to Hollywood and the media and it expects more will come.

As well as the investigations it currently has open, the force has also passed on 37 cases to other jurisdictions where it believes the crimes may have occurred.

‘We anticipate the LAPD and other jurisdictions will receive even more high profile sex crime reports in the coming weeks and months,’ Police Chief Charlie Beck told the LA Times. ‘We encourage all victims of sexual assault to come forward to report these crimes.’

On Thursday, Uma Thurman who starred in a string of hits for Weinstein including the Kill Bill franchise and Pulp Fiction, added her vice to the list of his accusers.

She had previously made a point of not speaking about any of her own personal experiences with Weinstein or any other possible predators when asked about the exec’s sex scandal back in October.

On Thursday, Thurman was ready to share posting a pic of her from Kill Bill Vol. 2 and writing: ‘I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others. I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons, #metoo, in case you couldn’t tell by the look on my face.’

She then wrote: ‘I feel it’s important to take your time, be fair, be exact, so… Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators – I’m glad it’s going slowly – you don’t deserve a bullet)’

The actress signed off by telling everyone to ‘stay tuned.’

McGowan, Asia Argento and Annabella Scorria were some of the first to come forward and accuse the disgraced Hollywood mogul sexually harassing or assaulting them early in their careers.

Argento accused him of forcibly performing oral sex on her in the late 90s, and in a New Yorker article told Farrow that the encounter happened after she reluctantly agreed to give Weinstein a massage in his hotel room.

She claims he pulled up her skirt and pushed her legs apart and then performed oral sex on her while she begged him to stop. She told Farrow she was ‘terrified’ of Weinstein.

In a separate New Yorker article Scorria told Farrow that Weinstein raped her and attempted to perform oral sex on her. McGowan also claims Weinstein assaulted her.

On Friday, McGowan posted a selfie to Instagram with Argento and Scorria with the hashtag #RoseArmy.

She also tagged Ronan Farrow – the journalist who has written numerous exposes on Weinstein for the New Yorker.
