  • There’s A Harvey Weinstein Casting Couch Statue In Hollywood Now

    Sad you missed the chance to share the casting couch with Harvey Weinstein?

    Well, thanks to collaborators Plastic Jesus and Joshua (Ginger) Monroe – the same duo who created those nude Donald Trump statues in 2016 – you have one last chance sit down next to the disgraced movie mogul.

    However, instead of standing, Weinstein is “seated regally atop a couch with an Oscar in hand” and is making a temporary appearance close to the site of the Academy Awards, reports CBC:

    The life-sized Weinstein sculpture, displayed Thursday on Hollywood Boulevard, aims to spotlight the entertainment industry’s sexual misconduct crisis and the disgraced studio mogul’s role in it, Plastic Jesus said.

    “There’s so much about Hollywood that’s great and celebrated in the Oscars, but there’s also this underbelly of darkness within the industry that we often sweep under the carpet or ignore,” said Plastic Jesus, formerly a London-based photographer.

    In case you’re unable to head over to LA to have a look at the fine piece of artwork, here we go:

    And another angle, just to show the apt placement of the Oscar:

    Of course, the phrase “casting couch” might be synonymous with the sleazy porn genre, and seems like a relic of a bygone era, but it’s still very much a part of the Hollywood culture:

    Plastic Jesus said he and Monroe first considered a standing Weinstein statue but quickly decided to incorporate a chaise lounge. The project, made of fiberglass [sic] and acrylic resin, was in the works for two months.

    I wouldn’t sit on that couch if you paid me.
