Harvey Weinstein's Now Public Emails: Jennifer Aniston "Should Be Killed" And Ben Affleck Is On A "Red Flag List"
VARIETY —...a 1,000-page trove of documents was unsealed in Weinstein’s criminal case this week. The documents also reveal much of Weinstein’s desperate pleas for help following the bombshell reports that began his downfall and sparked the #MeToo movement. The documents include emails upon emails, showcasing Weinstein’s A-list rolodex, including messages Weinstein sent to power agents at CAA and WME, network executives from NBCUniversal, and billionaire leaders and politicians, including Michael Bloomberg and Jeff Bezos.
The Harvey Weinstein case has been a must-follow, the biggest story in Hollywood and quite frankly right up near the top of world news in general. We've become pretty numb to it from hearing about it so much but it really can't be understated how big of a deal this whole thing is — how big Harvey Weinstein was, his power, the power behind that name, his influence on Hollywood. The sheer number of women all accusing him of basically the same thing, an absolutely enormous list of women coming forward to tell the world what he did to them, over an absolutely enormous span of time. The number of people who knew about it, covered it up or turned a blind eye, who heard enough rumors to know there was definitely some fire to go with all that smoke but did nothing, all the way up to the very tippy top of the industry and the networks. The fucking spy agencies and Mossad units and WILD shit written about in Catch and Kill. And it all came to light and finally brought the fat pig down because of a group of insanely brave women who put their names and faces on the stories, stories about the worst, most traumatic moments of their lives. It's been a mixed bag of results in the courts so far with some juries not getting 100% justice, but overall at this point we're at 23 years in prison and Weinstein beyond ruined for the rest of his life, never getting another chance to force himself on anyone but his prison boyfriend.
Up til now, it's been mostly lesser-known actresses among the accusers, with a few exceptions like Rose McGowan who was a relatively big name, but back in the day. With all the poking around and motions filed to get more and more documents released, it was only a matter of time until the A-listers became involved. And today, when ONE THOUSAND pages of Weinstein emails were finally released, we got two of the biggest out there.
First, Jennifer Aniston:
“Jen Aniston should be killed,” Weinstein wrote in an email on Oct. 31, 2017, in response to a reporter seeking comment about an untrue allegation that Weinstein had groped Aniston.
The email was reviewed by Variety on Tuesday afternoon at the New York City criminal courthouse.

From what I understand, this was because the National Inquirer called him in '17 about a "Harvey Weinstein Sexually Assaulted Jennifer Aniston" story. Not Aniston, the Enquirer. Aniston herself said none of this was true. Her rep denied it happened. So it appears this was solely the most well-known publisher of made-up shit in the world calling Weinstein on the phone.
Doesn't matter though! In Harvey's world, you don't just rape any woman who gets in your way or walks by you or you literally just see one time kind of from a distance. You kill them too. I mean it's possible she misspeaks or stumbles on her words to the press one time about you molesting every woman in town, might as well play it safe right.
Next, my man Ben Affleck (and some other big names):

Ben Affleck was on Harvey Weinstein’s “red flag list,” according to recently unsealed court documents.
Prior to the publication of bombshell reports, which ignited the #MeToo movement and led to the former movie mogul’s downfall, Weinstein kept a list of names of people he was concerned could be talking to journalists in 2017 about his sexual conduct with women. Affleck’s name appeared on that document, known as the red flag list, which was reviewed by Variety on Tuesday afternoon. [Variety]
Oohhhh. A "Red Flag List"! That sounds badass.
But mostly it sounds like something I don't ever want to be on. Especially not if I'm a woman and the list is Weinstein's. Old deformed-dick having Weinstein.
The Red Flag List was a bunch of names compiled by Weinstein and given to PIs and spies that were "the first to call," undoubtedly to intimidate or bribe or just terrorize in general for their silence. I'm not sure why Affleck is on there, if there are any stories or rumors floating around that I haven't heard.
I do know he donated all his residuals from Miramax and Weinstein Company movies to charity — mainly "Good Will Hunting" and "Shakespeare in Love."
There are 69 other names on the list aside from Affleck, a "who's who" of people preyed on and terrorized by Fat Pig Man as well as other who I guess just pissed him off by having a mouth and the ability to speak words, a personality trait that enraged Weinstein when it belonged to a woman.
Roughly 70 names are on the list, including Affleck and Sciorra, in addition to accusers Rose McGowan, Zelda Perkins, Lysette Anthony and Rowena Chiu. Also on the list are former Weinstein Company exec Irwin Reiter; Weinstein’s former assistant and “Russian Doll” creator Leslye Headland; and producers Megan Ellison, Donna Gigliotti, Jason Blum and Jennifer Todd.
There are also a bunch of him literally begging and pleading to every billionaire he can think of to help him out, including Mayor Bloomberg and Jeff Bezos. No mention if they responded but needless to say, I NEED to see them. There's also one to Quentin Tarantino's wife and some heated exchanges with the brother who refers to him as a "sexual predator."

Just a treasure trove of evidence about one of the biggest pieces of human garbage to ever walk the Earth. A literal living breathing trash can with a dick that looked like a vagina.
