UPDATED!
[Blind Gossip] This young film star has not said a word about the Harvey Weinstein accusations.
She probably won’t, either. She was his “it” girl, and if she says anything, it could lead to questions about exactly how Harvey bolstered her career, how he pushed other people into hiring her, how he set her up in a fake relationship, and how she keeps scoring leads even when her movies bomb, etc. She doesn’t want to go down that rabbit hole.
It will be interesting to see what happens to her career once Harvey is no longer there to “guide” her.

SOLVED!
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence
When multiple assault and harassment claims were made against leading producer Harvey Weinstein last year, one of his biggest stars remained surprisingly muted.
Jennifer Lawrence had appeared in a few films before working with Weinstein in The Silver Linings Playbook. Her performance in Winter’s Bone (2010) was critically lauded, and X-Men (2011) and The Hunger Games (2012) were both commercial successes.
However, it was Weinstein who took her career to new heights. Her performance in Weinstein’s The Silver Linings Playbook (2012) scored her a SAG Award, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award for Best Actress!
Jennifer Lawrence then became the highest-paid actress in the world.
After SLP, Lawrence starred in the critically-acclaimed American Hustle, which was directed by David O. Russell, the same man who directed SLP.
While The Hunger Games and X-Men franchises continued to do well, the years since her Oscar have included a series of bombs, including Serena, Joy, Passengers, Mother!, and Red Sparrow.
The years have also brought a change in her relationships. Lawrence broke up with actor Nicholas Hoult and moved on to relationships with the much older Chris Martin (Gwyneth Paltrow’s ex) and the much older Darren Aronofsky (Rachel Weisz’s ex). Lawrence is currently dating art dealer Cooke Maroney.
Lawrence remained surprisingly quiet for the past year when multiple accusations against Weinstein surfaced. Then another actress said that Weinstein used his relationship with Lawrence to try to score with women. Lawrence just responded.
From Salon:
Jennifer Lawrence slams Weinstein’s “predatory tactics” in response to lewd claim
In a new lawsuit brought against Harvey Weinstein yesterday, a woman identified only as Jane Doe accuses the disgraced former mogul of sexually assaulting her and threatening to damage her career if she refused. The suit further alleges that, during a 2013 meeting, Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on the woman; as she began to cry, he asked, “Do you even want to be an actress?” before adding, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is; she has just won an Oscar.”
In response, Lawrence has rebuffed that claim and condemned Weinstein’s actions. “My heart breaks for all the women who were victimized by Harvey Weinstein,” the actress said in a statement. “I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him. This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women.”
Lawrence won an Academy Award for her leading role in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” which was produced by the Weinstein Company.
It is interesting that the story Jane Doe is telling is remarkably similar to one involving actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Weinstein helped Paltrow win her first and only Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love. Then he told other women that he had slept with Paltrow. Paltrow vehemently denies his claims.
Isn’t Harvey Weinstein in jail yet?
Congratulations to Munkeemunkee for being first with the correct response!
UPDATE!
Harvey Weinstein is going to jail!
More specifically, Harvey Weinstein is going to jail for TWENTY THREE YEARS!
From CNN:
Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison after addressing his accusers in court
Harvey Weinstein was sentenced Wednesday in a New York courtroom to 23 years in prison, the culmination of a case that fueled the global #MeToo movement and encouraged women to speak out against sexual abuse.
“I really feel remorse for this situation,” the former Hollywood producer said, his voice barely audible, as he addressed the court before the sentence was handed down. “I feel it deeply in my heart. I will spend my time really caring and really trying to be a better person.”
Note that he does not apologize to his victims. He just feels remorse. Probably for himself.
“I’m not going to say these aren’t great people, I had wonderful times with these people, you know,” Weinstein said of his accusers. “It is just I’m totally confused and I think men are confused about all of these issues.”
Harvey Weinstein thinks that sexual assault is a “wonderful time” and that empathy for men in his situation is warranted.
Here is the next “wonderful time” awaiting Weinstein (cartoon by Benjamin Kikkert):
Back to the CNN story.
Weinstein, 67, arrived at his sentencing hearing in a wheelchair and in handcuffs. He had faced between five and 29 years in prison for last month’s convictions on first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape.
Judge James Burke sentenced him to 20 years in prison for criminal sexual act and three years in prison for rape. The sentences will run consecutively and both come with five years of supervision after release, and Weinstein must register as a sex offender.
“This is a first conviction, but it is not a first offense,” Burke said.
Weinstein wore a blank face as he was taken out of the courtroom. His accusers cried together in the front row.
Here are the three women who testified against Harvey Weinstein.
And here are some of the 80+ women who have spoken out about Weinstein’s abuse of women:
Of course, Weinstein’s defense team thought the sentence was excessive.
Defense Donna Rotunno lambasted the 23-year punishment as “obscene,” “obnoxious” and “cowardly,” and she argued that Weinstein did not get a fair trial.
Obscene, obnoxious, and cowardly are actually the perfect words to describe… Harvey Weinstein!
Congratulations to all the brave women who spoke out!

Alicia Vikander
She will never win another Oscar as she was given this one for doing Weinstein favors. She will be better off staying in Europe after the dust settles. She’s a mess and a fraud.
amagod121 says
JLaw.
I think her career is going to take a year or two’s vacation, as she said earlier, even if she didn’t mean it then. For one thing, her recent movie bombed and her “brand” is strongly tied to it. She is also loathed by many people for blabbing on endlessly about her “progressive” views when it seems to me that she makes out by being very old fashioned in taking the abuse. Plus Harvey’s gone so … a bit of a vacay, as they say.

She’s not the most interesting actress, so she’s probably going to take a hit on her career without major backing.
I like her as a person, however.

I never got how she became a huge Hollywood star in the first place. Now I know. Harvey was driving this bus. Her alleged pharmaceutical issues and instability will torpedo her career more than anything else. Michael Fassbender should disassociate himself from her sinking ship ASAP.

If Tomb Raider doesn’t do well, and I don’t think it well, I think her career is going downhill . Sure, she has a fraudulent Oscar, but she hasn’t made that much of an impression on the industry. And her latest Weinstein film, Tulip Fever, is a laughing stock.

Raoul Duke says
I want to say JLaw but she has already issued a statement before this blind was posted.
Notably quiet heavy hitters – Emma S, ScarJo though Scar may be borderline “young” now. Though it also includes Kristen Stewart or perhaps Amanda S.
Damn it all, the clues are right in front of me and seem painfully obvious.
GretaGuesses says
Alicia Vikander. Making sure she had “supplies” probably refers to the allegations of prescription drug abuse. She was in several Weinstein productions, and I haven’t heard of any statement that she has made about Weinstein and sexual harassment allegations.
If she isn’t a good actress, I imagine that her acting career will fade away without Weinstein.

I don’t know why people keep saying JLaw. She issued a statement already. Off of the top of my head, I can think of 3: Marion Cotillard, Alicia Vikander & Michelle Williams. But he messed up with Marion’s movies, so I lean towards the probability of Alicia.
Kaydee4 says
ScarJo – voiced audio book for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and DM titled article about it “down the rabbit hole”

My first guess.
carriebradshaw says
but at last Fassbender cal finally get rid of her.
JBDinCA says
Mia Wasikowska
Clues: Down the rabbit hole = Alice in Wonderland; Alice Through the Looking Glass
Fake relationship(s) = Robert Pattinson?
jejoth says
This is Lana Del Ray (who I don’t even really “get” or know much about). But she was his it girl currently. The rabbit references refer to her Jessica Rabbit covers and pictures, etc.
CzarNick says
^^^THIS^^^
sublimeLime says
Alicia Vikander
I don’t think any of her movies have ever been outright hits, her fake relationship with Michael Fassbender, the fact that she gotten staring roles over and over again despite the fact that she’s seemingly always drugged out.
Kayjay11 says
Alicia Vikander
I see she is a voice in Moomins and the Winter Wonderland – reference to the mentioned rabbit hole. She certainly has a few new movies for release this year & her drug use and fake relationship are always on BG.
mcad.0035 says
Not only she is not a “young movie star”, she did released a statement.
rosarybjork says
Alicia Vikander is his type. He likes brown hair. He likes em young. He likes big eyes. She has been in MANY films tied to the firms connected to Weinstein.
Intuitivegirl says
It’s Gretchen Mol. She owns a rabbit and she isn’t young anymore. She was on the cover of Vanity Fair years ago being proclaimed the “IT” girl. She can’t act her way out of a paper bag. She also was seen in many photos with Harvey before his marriage to Georgina- saying she was his girlfriend.
Intuitivegirl says
I forgot to mention this is my first BG guess!
raspberriesncream says
Alicia Vikander – 100%
She keeps her mouth shut on the HW scandal, owes everything to HW who put her in Tulip Fever years ago (it’s been shelved for 2 or 3 years), got her the Louis Vuitton contract, faux relationship with Fassbender and a fraudulent Oscar. She has a pill addiction too, was rumored to be in rehab – yet, she got the lead in her next movie (Tomb Raider). The clue is Hole – Harry Hole is Fassbender’s latest character in Snowman.
She will go back to Sweden after TR flops.
starrynights says
This ^^^ she was in “Alice in wonderland” – down the rabbit hole, etc.
Louhanisiana says
Reckon this is on the money; “Down The Rabbit Hole” (she played Alice in Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland”). Excellent actress.
Kingofboggle says
Nicole Kidman
misssook says
Jennifer Lawrence. The term “rabbit hole” has been used in recent articles about her in “mother!”
jonesing says
I think only her last movie is considered a bomb.
gunther85 says
Actually looks like they’re getting married this weekend…so sadly he’s stuck with her for the time being.
mrtrobz says
Amber Heard.
KatarinaJ says
Jennifer Lawrence has come out with a statement. I did think the ALICE in Wonderland reference had to be a big hint. Alicia (ALICE) Vikander makes sense since she has been the guess of so many substance abuse and PR relationship rumors. Could part of her rehab and volatility be about this very thing – Weinstein abuse?
KatarinaJ says
Curious what ‘fake relationship’ and substance abuse rumors have plagued Ann H?
KatarinaJ says
Blake hasn’t had drug or faux relationship rumors. She’s married with kids and sort of not into the Hollywood thing as much anymore. Her ‘career’ is being Ryan Reynolds’ adoring eye candy wife which she is totally secure in.
KatarinaJ says
She was a terrible choice for Lara Croft but I will say in defense of her that Angie set the bar high. She WAS the character and more robust looking. Alicia, no matter how buff she become, pings so fine featured and slight. Total misfit. They almost should have made an unknown into a star with this vehicle.
