Robert Redford Blames Harvey Weinstein For Ruining Sundance
Hollywood's favorite M&M's-addicted bully is the reason we can't have nice things. Or at least why the Sundance Film Festival can no longer have nice things, and instead has to have Paris Hilton, paparazzi, and worst of all, Hollywood.
In an interview with Men's Journal, Sundance creator and dreamboat dad Robert Redford blasted Harvey Weinstein for turning the indie festival into a flashbulb-popping clusterfuck.
Harvey wanted to be a Hollywood mogul. He’s got a real merchant mentality; he would start to pick stuff . . . then Hollywood came. When the actors started to come, the paparazzi came, and once the paparazzi came, then fashion came, and suddenly you had [Hilton]. I felt at a certain point that we were being engulfed.
This should come as no surprise: Weinstein has a long history not just of bullying, but of ruining pretty much anything he touches.
