If the movie is true, I actually think she's got great business. networking and management skills.

    • @StormyDog
      @StormyDog Před 6 lety +5

      It seems that she's protecting the "very powerful men" at the cost of all the future women that they harass. Now it seems she's profiting from the Me Too movement while she fails to call out the abusers, allowing them to continue their abuse. Not all the women they abuse are profiting by millions of dollars as she did/is. I'm not impressed by her behavior but feel for the innocent women who suffer due to her silence.

    • @narkismoshe6268
      @narkismoshe6268 Před 6 lety +9

      Ed Arenz I understood that she still has no money... I have no idea how much she got for the movie deal but I wouldn’t call her a millionaire... in the movie it seems that she protects families more than the men. As the lives of wives and children of reckless men will get ruined. And in the movie Molly is not talking about sexual harassment... she’s talking about the fact that man has powers that women don’t. There’s also a social power group that controls things. It won’t help to talk about the specific men in that case if its strictly a power issue. We need to view it as a social problem. Going after specific men that has power will do no good while talking about a social system that works in benefits of those men has the potential to make a change and difference.

    • @StormyDog
      @StormyDog Před 6 lety +2

      It says in the video "that she was making up to 4 million dollars a year". That said hopefully we can agree to disagree. I respect her as a fine skier in her earlier life, but not for her criminal life or her (or the movie's makers) failing to name names for their criminal behavior. Going after specific criminals is the only way to create the consequences that will stop their behavior. Do you think that Harvey Weinstein would have been stopped by a movie claiming some unnamed abuse in Hollywood? I understand and respect your perspective, but we disagree. That's just the way it is sometimes.

    • @narkismoshe6268
      @narkismoshe6268 Před 6 lety +5

      Ed Arenz did you watch the movie or read the book? All the money was taken and she’s in debt. It’s being said everywhere. The only money she has now is from the movie deal and I’m pretty sure she used it for her debt.

      Wow, way to make this a black/white thing!
      Well, since no black woman has ever done this I guess you will never know.
      How about if she was not attractice would she have been able to pull this off? Absolutely not. That was her edge.
      I also truly she believe she was not sleeping with all of them if any of them at all. Which was more of a drawl for her. Once men sleep with a girl the excitement of the chase is over and they get bored and move on. However she always dangled it in front of them and never gave it to them which is what probably kept them coming back.
      Don't make this a black thing. Because you are just assuming the overall majority of the country is racists. Which is total bullshit in my opinion. From what I see racisism is dead. It is 2019 for God's sake.

    I saw the entire movie I thought it was excellent and the lady who played Molly was a great beautiful actress herself.HOWEVER I can’t help but comment if she were not white would she have gotten that deal and that freedom.It Reminds me of the movie called Catch Me If You Can where he’s a criminal ,check fraud,but again because he’s white he doesn’t face the full repercussions of his behavior,he gets out of jail very early to work for the banking system to become a millionaire to protect them from criminals like himself.Life isn’t always fair ,I get it,as blacks we have to work harder ,and longer, for certain privileges.Okay so now Mollys a Hollywood StarI wish her the best ,Im sure she will be fine though,If It weren’t for my faith,severe anger would be overwhelming ,Im just making an honest observation.I teach my children With God all things are possible ,you can overcome any obstacle with faith and determination.
