Candace lays out why she believes Harvey Weinstein was wrongfully convicted, focusing on inconsistencies in accusers' post-assault behavior (continued affairs, requests for favors) and comparing the case to a kangaroo court where character assassination replaced evidence.
- Tim concludes Harvey Weinstein was wrongfully convicted and hung on the #MeToo movement.
- Despite believing himself immune to media narratives, Tim initially assumed Weinstein was guilty based on the sheer number of accusers.
- The conviction actually rested on testimony from only three women, not the 130 accusations widely reported.
- One accuser maintained a four-year affair with Weinstein, emailed him requesting Paris trips after the alleged assault, and brought her mother to meet him.
- Tim argues the accusers are attempting to absolve themselves of consensual relationships by retroactively reframing them as rape.
- If someone had genuinely been assaulted, they would logically avoid being alone with the alleged perpetrator in hotel rooms again.
- Convicting Weinstein on a general vibe rather than specific provable allegations sets a dangerous legal precedent.
- Tim had publicly stated this position on Twitter before the appellate court reversed Weinstein's conviction.
