How many women have to claim they were raped and/or sodomized by fugitive director Roman Polanski before Hollywood starts to treat him with a tenth of the disdain they have for Mel Gibson? How many, Harvey? Woody? Marty? Ms. Rape-Rape? Natalie? Jeff Norman? Wes? Jeff Wells? Patrick Goldstein? Cinematical? S.T. VanAirsdale? Bertrand-Henri? And all of you who have lent your fame, wealth and support to this pig since he admitted to having sex with a 13 year-old girl?
What’s the magic number of victims before you withdraw your support?
This might surprise you, but to we unsophisticated types — no matter how awesome Chinatown was — one is enough; a guilty plea followed by a flight from justice is enough. But because you’re sophisticated, we have to ask.
For the record, if you care, if you’re bothering to keep track, the number is now three:
Another woman has come forward charging that Roman Polanski raped her in 1974, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The woman, who was 21 at the time, reported the alleged sexual assault to the Los Angeles District Attorney in May and was interviewed by authorities.
Edith Michelle Vogelhut, a former model also known as Shelli Paul, told authorities Polanski “handcuffed” her at actor Jack Nicholson’s Hollywood house where he was staying, then sodomized her repeatedly, before he passed out, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Polanski’s already gearing up his next film project, “God of Carnage,” and over at the L.A. Times the Culture Monster’s giddy and grooving and without a hint of irony launching a fan-boy poll over who the child rapist should cast.
Good.
This story has never been about Polanski. He’s a lost cause, as evil as evil can be. This story has always been about Hollywood; about the indecency and depravity of those willing to enable and champion this evil.
Another Polanski film is just another opportunity for us to learn who they are.
