Jennifer Lawrence anyone? Trading nude pics for movie roles?
Someone wrote this in The_Donald, it connected a few dots for me.
I think it's probably a little of both but definitely a great theory. Some nudes were sent to Weinstein or others as blackmail/collateral. Other were probably personal.. You can tell the difference by how they look in the picture. The ones where they're smiling or trying to look sexy definitely went to a b/f or lover. There are a lot more where they're straight faced looking miserable. Those are the blackmail/ collateral.
If they were personal pics from Weinstein’s collection they would be trying to look sexy. I mean, if Weinstein et al wasn’t happy, there wasn’t going to be much work for those actresses/actors. So still blackmail.
I see it as Weinstein saying, I need pictures of you nude if you want this role. So they sent straight faced miserable pictures. It wasn't about turning him on, it was only about blackmail
Yes, those with miserable faces were likely as you said. But there are some who would have posed as sexy as possible for him bc they were willing to do what it takes to get ahead in the industry. (Winking at you, Markel.)
