Salma Hayek is the latest A-lister to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. Hollywood Life's Bonnie Fuller joins Cheddar to break down the actress' explosive op-ed in The New York Times. The Oscar-nominated star says the alleged actions primarily occurred during production of the 2002 drama, "Frida."
Hayek writes that Weinstein was her own "personal monster." Fuller says the piece shows that the movie mogul's nightmare of a year is far from over. She also discusses the #MeToo movement's entrance into the music industry, with three women accusing producer Russell Simmons of rape.
Finally, we make sense of the conflicting stories surrounding Omarosa Manigault-Newman's departure from her White House role. The former reality star appeared on "Good Morning America" to assert she quit and was not fired. Fuller considers whether the departure could be a sign the president is moving away from his reality-TV roots.
Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
2024 is the Year of the Dragon for the Lunar New Year, which kicks off February 10. To commemorate the occasion, the U.S. Post Office unveiled a new dragon stamp.
