Why?!? This is like asking the courts to pardon Weinstein! The answer should be no and no petition should sway that
What the fuck were the people signing it thinking, creepy shithole Hollywood is
100% I want to see the names, so they can be shamed for this!!
The op put a link there to imdb with everyone, but from the wiki page: petition was signed by many prominent individuals in the film industry including Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Michael Mann, Woody Allen, Darren Aronofsky, Harrison Ford, Jeremy Irons, and Wong Kar-wai. Several signatories, including Emma Thompson and Natalie Portman, later retracted their names from the petition or expressed regret over signing it.
Surprised by a couple of them
Damn they even got Woody Allen? And he seemed like such a nice man. The kind of man youd want fathering your daughter.
Natalie Portman and Emma Thompson, makes me sooo sad to see that!
Unsurprisingly Weinstein, as well as Woody Allen (and I can't be bothered to search through the list, but I'm sure at least a couple of others with at least accusations to their name) signed it.
When those are the people standing by you, it might be better to just sit down.
