KENNEDY: ONE OF THE MOST OF
PROMINENT VOICES IN THE ME TOO
MOVEMENT IS FACING HER ACCUSER.
AN ACTOR AND MUSICIAN SAYS SHE
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HIM WHEN HE
WAS JUST 17 YEARS OLD.
REPORTS SAY SHE PAID HIM
$380,000 TO KEEP HIM FROM SUING
HER OR RELEASING A PHOTO OF THE
TWO OF THEM IN BED.
ARGENTO IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO
WEINSTEIN'S LAWYERS SAY THIS
SHOWS STUNNING HYPOCRISY.
DOES THIS REPORT DO DAMAGE TO
THE MOVEMENT?
THE #metoo MOVEMENT IS MUCH
MORE COMPLICATED ESPECIALLY NOW.
THIS ISN'T JUST A WOMAN IN
HOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD WHO HAS BEEN
ACCUSED OF SOMETHING PRETTY
HORRIFIC.
THIS IS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN AT
THE FOREFRONT OF THE MOVEMENT AS
IN HOLLYWOOD.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
THESE ACCUSATIONS AREN'T THE
FIRST TO REVERSE THE ROLES WHERE
THE MOVEMENT, BUT IT SHOULD
CHANGE THE PERCEPTION OF
FEMINIST FICTION THAT WOMEN ARE
SOMEHOW MORAL LIP SUPERIOR TO
AFFORDED DUE PROCESS.
WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS.
OFTEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.
KENNEDY: WE DON'T HAVE DENIALS
EITHER.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE RUNNING
AROUND SAYING THIS IS PATENTLY
FALSE, SHE IS INNOCENT.
BEYOND UPSET.
BY HER BEHAVIOR AND HER
HEARTBREAK IS A WORD MANY PEOPLE
WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE THIS
SITUATION.
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE JOY TO
POINTING TO SOMEONE ELSE'S
SHAME.
LOOK AT THIS PERSON COMMITTING
HYPOCRISY OR DOUBLE SPEAK.
AND WE SHOULD OPEN OUR MINDS TO
THE IDEA THAT SOMETIMES MEN ARE
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
THIS IS A CASE WHERE I HOPE THE
#metoo MOVEMENT WILL BROADEN
IT'S' LOOK.
KENNEDY: THERE IS NOT A LOT OF
DUE PROCESS.
YOU TALK ABOUT THE IDEA.
IT'S ALMOST TAKEN AS AN AXIOM
ARE FALSELY ACCUSED AND WHAT A
GREAT INJUSTICE THAT DOES TO
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
>> THIS STORY ECHOS A PIECE IN
WHEN A FELL NIFLT PROFESSOR IS
ACCUSED.
AND A PROFESSOR WAS ACCUSED.
I'LL LET PEOPLE READ FOR
THEMSELVES.
BUT OBVIOUS ACTS OF SEXUAL
TITLE 9 INVESTIGATIONS OFTEN GO
TOO FAR.
THERE IS A REASON WHY WE HAVE
TITLE 9 AND WHY THEY NEED TO
PROTECT BOTH SEXES IN HAVING THE
BEST ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN.
BUT WHEN THERE IS A POWER
DYNAMIC.
A POWERFUL WOMAN IN HOLLYWOOD
