Streep "didn't know" about Weinstein. [View all]

Hard to believe Meryl Streep wasn't aware of Weinstein's problem with power and women until now. How come I knew about it years ago and I'm not "in the business"? I am a huge fan of Streep and this disappoints me. Wouldn't it have been more honest to say, "it's time this was exposed and I'm stand with the women"? It's OK to not be the first to call out injustice, to be afraid for your career. If you're female you've experienced it. Just say so.
