As a long-time follower of Bill Maher‘s insightful commentary, I find myself in agreement with his perplexity over why the music industry has remained relatively untouched by the #MeToo movement until now. It seems that the entertainment world is not a monolith and the darkness that has been exposed in Hollywood needs to be cast upon other industries as well.
Bill Maher ponders over why it appears as if the music industry has been untouched by the reach of the #MeToo movement until this moment, following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent detainment.
Ever since the #MeToo movement gained momentum in 2017, numerous influential individuals have faced allegations of sexual misconduct. Notably, some high-profile figures from the Hollywood industry have been found guilty, such as the disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.
During the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday, Bill Maher, along with author Fran Lebowitz, discussed the implications of Sean Combs’ federal charges on the broader music industry.
Maher has been pondering this question for seven years now, dating back to 2017 when the #MeToo movement surfaced. He wonders, ‘Why isn’t the same scrutiny being applied to the music industry? They even targeted NPR quite harshly. Four to five men from NPR were accused of posting inappropriate limericks on a bookstore door.’
In the music industry, it’s a regrettable truth that there’s a lot of misogyny, even going as far as rape and sexual harassment. And it seems like death has passed over them without making a difference,” the host commented, then inquired, “So, why do you believe this is the case?
Lebowitz replied, “My assumption is that since we live in a capitalist nation, and the music industry tends to be far more profitable than NPR, that could be the reason.
For quite some time, I’ve been familiar with numerous accounts similar to those associated with #MeToo,” she added. “So, Puffy, it wasn’t exactly a hidden fact. Yet, it seemed to be a secret of sorts to them.
Beyond being charged with federal sex trafficking and racketeering offenses, Combs has been served with multiple lawsuits by both men and women, such as Cassie Ventura, his former partner who alleged rape and abuse against him in a complaint submitted last November. Most recently, Thalia Graves claimed in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday that Combs drugged and raped her in 2001.
At present, the rapper is incarcerated, awaiting a trial following his refusal of bail, having claimed innocence in connection with allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. These charges were brought against him, following FBI searches at his residences in Los Angeles and Miami several months ago.
