reporter Megan Twohey, co-author of “She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement,” asked Rotunno, “Do you believe every woman who’s been sexually assaulted somehow put herself in that position — whether it was having drinks or agreeing to go to a hotel room?”
What Rotunno’s neglecting to acknowledge with her awful statement is that so many cases of rape and sexual assault aren’t the result of a woman walking down the street and having an attacker jump out of a dark alley. They aren’t the result of a woman going home with a man she barely knows after too many drinks, and even if she did, she still isn’t positioning herself for attack.
Her solution to the problem of rape and sexual assault, of course, is snarky and woman-hating. As Twohey clarifies that Rotunno indeed meant what she said — that women are somehow culpable in their own sexual assaults — she also gets the lawyer to explain what men should be doing to avoid women being sexually assaulted. Naturally, her response isn’t simply THEY SHOULD STOP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING WOMEN.
Let’s go through what victims were wearing again: pajamas, school uniform, snow pants, work uniform and on and on and on
This chic is clueless and would never survive
I had one set me up and I was abducted. Only 18 and a 2nd one tried to buy me for marriage for about 2 mil and when I said no..didn’t go over so well. He didn’t expect me to be so feisty and fight back. I got away from my 1st abductor bc I was calm as shit and played him instead
Wow and double wow. I can’t wrap my head around how other women can be so ....dare I say it, but stupid. Holy shit. I had not 1, but 2 bosses ..not all men are assholes but there are a lot of mentally ill men AND women out there. Period. They’re all crazy if you ask me.
You chose the words you spoke to the press , there is no going back on the effect you have created. Awful human being with a twisted mind.
Perfect lawyer for him!
I sincerely hope she never is raped. I guess I put myself in that position by going on a date with a police officer. I get it.
And people wonder why there are lawyer jokes that reference snakes 😂
Sounds like something Ivanka would say. A little light victim-blaming to start off the day?

Weinstein Lawyer Donna Rotunno Says If Women Were More Like Her, They Wouldn't Get RapedDonna Rotunno, Harvey Weinstein's attorney in his rape case, said that she'd never been sexually assaulted because she never put herself in a 'vulnerable position.' Let's remember that a woman is a victim of sexual violence in America every 73 seconds, and that nearly half of all women homicide victims are killed by a current or former intimate partner.

The Scariest Thing About Harvey Weinstein's Lawyer Is That She Might Actually Believe This ShitStephen Michaud, the interviewer who got Ted Bundy to confess, did so by asking him to describe his crimes in the third person, as if the serial killer were a crime scene investigator. But because Bundy had done the things he was describing, the veil eventually fell away, leaving Bundy nakedly describing his own actions, unencumbered by hypotheticals. In her interview with Harvey Weinstein’s attorney Donna Rotunno for The Daily, Megan Twohey, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who helped break the Weinstein story, employs much the same technique, allowing Rotunno to speak in hypotheticals until she’s all but said that even if Weinstein sexually assaulted women in hotel rooms, the women are equally to blame. iD4RO Donna Rotunno is as sick as her secrets. Donna Rotunno has secrets.
