Netflix does like a bit of sleaze to sell its productions.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

This ’person’ pimped out over 500 young women, exploited all of them for a job she wasn’t good enough to to do herself. In some countries, ‘prostitution’ is legal, but it is illegal to profit from another’s labor.

Furthermore, this director, Sylvie Verheyde, shouldn’t refer to the #MeToo movement to promote her film. #MeToo is for victims to speak out. Not for a director to promote her film highlight the escapades of a pimp who explored young women for her financial gain:

"The #MeToo movement allows us to look back, to remember things we have a hard time imagining these days, marginalised and outlaw characters speak to the society in which we are living."

This director is now getting rich on exploiting ALL these women.

"*Madame Claude built her mythology. She was a great liar, a fraud who said she wanted to 'beautify vice', which meant *brushing all the ugliness under the carpet,"

The girls did their job and I did mine.” -

Where are all the ‘feminists’ to comment on this ‘exploitation of women”? Are they avoiding THIS issue?

Women have ‘rights over their own bodies’. However, no one else, man or woman’ should profit from what they do with their bodies.

So, for ‘feminists’ is this person, a hero or, a villain?

The similarities are startling. Compare:

- “In the 1960s and 1970s, "Madame Claude", real name Fernande Grudet, had a client book that read like the guest list to a royal wedding: captains of industry, U.S. President John F Kennedy, Marlon Brando, the Shah of Iran...” -

In the 1990s and 2000s, "Patrick Kessler", real name Jeffrey Epstein, alledgedly had a client book that read like the guest list to a royal wedding: captains of ‘modeling and lingerie’ industries, 2 former U.S. presidents, an actor, you know, from the ‘Usual group of Suspects’, a ‘Prince’ of ....(amongst others) - ALL long ‘suspected but not yet confirmed”.

Like the ‘womanizer-victimizer’ in the above article, Epstein was ”a great liar, a fraud”manipulator and extortionist.

The hard drives for ALL of his computers controlling his sophisticated, ‘inward monitoring and recording’ household surveillance systems vanished just before search warrants were acted upon his homes.

Shortly after his arraignment and facing a few of his victims, Epstein survived a first ‘jail incident’ with a ‘serial killer cop’ cellmate. However, he was later found ‘suicided’. Sadly, to date, his victims still have not found justice for his criminal acts of ‘child Rape’ and ‘human trafficking’.

His co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, another woman that exploited these young women is still alive and being brought to face the victims.

Watching the truthful Epstein documentary, “*FILTY RICH” “**On NetFlix”** would be enlightening. It’s would be better use of someone’s time than watching, endorsing and supporting the greedy filmmaker’s ‘sensationalistic and exploitive’ dramatization about a dead French pimp. Where is the justice for her +500 victims?***

The use of the word “icon” in the article’s title is blatantly offensive. Icon has a positive connotation, and I don’t see anything positive about this person.
