Harvey Weinstein Invited To An Actor Event In NYC, Comedian And Rape Survivor Kelly Bachman Gets Kicked Out After Telling Him “Fuck You” On Stage
https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_bLVRBBHl/
Kelly Bachman is a goddam hero. For a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, being a rape survivor and still being out here chasing her dream and performing and still laughing and trying to make people laugh. I think after something like that you every right to just say fuck everyone and everything and shutting down. Kelly is still out there grinding out sets and working on her act and engaging in a world that’s cutthroat and pressure packed and not exactly the nicest or safest. Secondly, for being being brave enough to include that in her act. Not like this was a ba-dum-Ching! joke. But she got on stage and was willing to admit that to a room full of people and that’s courageous as fuck.
And last but probably most importantly – she wasn’t afraid to stand in a room, as a rape survivor, in a room with a rapist, and say “Fuck you.” Literally, fuck you. And not just any rapist. One of the most monstrous serial rapists and abusers the world has ever seen. That’s brave on a whole different level I can’t even fathom. And I say that’s the most important part of her heroism out of ignorance. I don’t know if that’s truly what is the most heroic part of this tale, but I feel like getting to say “DROP DEAD” to a rapist when you are a survivor is such an amazingly important part of recovery and helping the community of survivors that I think it deserves massive props.
So on one end of the spectrum you have Kelly, and on the other side of the spectrum, at the bottom of the fuckin barrel inside a shit filled dumpster, is Harvey Weinstein. And you know who’s right there next to him in that landfill as a piece of human garbage? That fucking ASSHOLES who actually invited Harvey Weinstein to their actor event. I mean are you fucking kidding me??? First of all to society and the justice system…Weinstein is still free to just walk around freely and go to events and parties and shit? He’s quite literally one of the most dangerous and abhorrent humans to live. Maybe we should speed up this process and get this dude locked away forever?? But secondly, to the fucking SCUMBAGS who thought it was a good idea to invite a SERIAL RAPIST TO YOUR PARTY. What is fucking wrong with you people???? Like the Party Planning Committee is running through the checklist:
Balloons: check!
Chips and dip: check!
Emcee/host: check!
Most infamous, terrifying, off putting serial sex abuser in the history of Hollywood: check!!!
Make sure you RSVP by the 15th, you guys!
You dumb, despicable, tone deaf, sociopathic, selfish trash bags. It’s probably some wanna be actor who is so blinded by their desire to be an actor or be in Hollywood or whatever the fuck their deplorable excuse is for rubbing elbow with a GODDAM RAPIST ALL NIGHT. Honestly what is wrong with people? Be fucking Normal. They are almost worse than Harvey Weinstein in some ways. And I know that’s hyperbole and I don’t want to diminish his actions but think about it – Harvey Weinstein isn’t even a human. He’s a monster. He’s finally been stopped. He’ll hopefully rot forever and hopefully someone shanks him and kills him in prison. Fine, right? Some humans are just despicable and something is wrong with them and the justice system eventually, albeit way too late, takes care of him. But the pieces of shit who threw this party? And then hung with him all night? Set him up in his nice little booth and served him and protected him and treated him like VIP? Those people are just cowards. Scared to stand up to a once powerful man? To a rich guy? A guy who had success in Hollywood? Either afraid to do so or worried that you’ll somehow harm your career. Like if you’re an actor or a comedian you gotta just look the other way or else your career is in jeopardy? What a bunch of fucked up losers with the most warped priorities I’ve ever seen. I can understand it if you were an actor with a family and bills to pay and you didn’t want to be blackballed, or worse, by speaking out against Harvey Weinstein when he was at his peak and still pseudo hiding his real self. But, now? When he’s absolutely out as a full blown serial rapist and he’s the one black balled from the industry? And you’re still too afraid to say something, or stand up at leave? You’re actually capable of sitting there and sipping on your drink and sharing laughs with a mass rapist? With admitted survivors at the event??? Nah man. That’s fucked up and cowardly on a whole different level. You’re just as bad when you’re that complicit in the whole night.
Shout out to Kelly Bachman, Zoe Stuckless (the girl in the video screaming at him) and Andrew B. Silas (a comedian who went on after Kelly and reference her courage and condemned Weinstein) for being the only people with the balls to speak up. And fuck everyone else in that room who sat there like it was ok. And double and triple fuck the organizers of the event and Harvey Weinstein for being the most repugnant assholes on the planet.
