The Director’s Wife Returns

One actress who kept her mouth shut despite having the most to spill is the Director’s Wife.

Her reward?

A new role she had no chance in landing prior to her agreement to keep quiet. They were going with someone a decade younger who had her offer yanked.

When the former A+ list mostly movie actor, who is the lead in the show started to complain, he was reminded he has a lot of his own skeletons.

He too welcomed the Director’s Wife with open arms.

Director’s Wife: Gretchen Mol

Director: Tod Williams

New role: Yellowstone – Weinstein Company

A+ list actor: Kevin Costner

Sexual harassment rumors against Harvey Weinstein have hidden in plain sight for years

Weinstein’s alleged pattern of preying on women has been an open secret

“It was mystifying several years ago why she was hyped the way she was hyped,” began Elaine Lui on her blog Lainey Gossip in 2009. She was writing a blind item, a description of a scandal so hot that naming names would mean opening herself up to a libel suit. This particular blind item described a young actress desperate to become the new It Girl, one who got a lot of buzz but very few major roles — and a married Hollywood power player who promised her roles in exchange for degrading sex, threw her a few scraps, and then cut her off to devote himself to hunting his next target.

The item got passed around from site to site, and a consensus began to form: The desperate not-quite-It Girl was Gretchen Mol, whose movie roles were starting to dry up; the new target was Blake Lively, beginning to transition from TV to film; and in the center of it all, between two beautiful young women whose careers he held in the palm of his hands, was Harvey Weinstein.

The reason people believed it was Weinstein was that the description matches a pattern of behavior associated with him: He suddenly begins to promote a beautiful young actress as the next big thing, giving her showy movie roles, escorting her to events, dressing her in Marchesa couture (his wife is one of the co-founders of the brand), and declaring her a shoo-in for the Oscars before abruptly dropping her. He’d publicly done just that with Gretchen Mol, landing her a Vanity Fair cover describing her as Hollywood’s new It Girl … and then going quiet as her star faded away. – Source
