Bill Maher Asks Why #MeToo Didn’t Hit Music Industry, Fran Lebowitz Says It’s “Much More Lucrative”
As the charges mount against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Bill Maher wants to know how he got away with it for so long.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian caught up with writer Fran Lebowitz about various current events, including Combs’ recent arrest by FBI agents in New York City and how it reflects on the music industry.
“I’ve been asking this question for seven years, since 2017 when the #MeToo thing happened,” he said. “Why… why not the music industry? I mean, they went after NPR pretty bad. They got like, four, five guys from NPR, like old guys who posted, like, an outrageous limerick on the doorway of the bookshop.
“The music industry is this open cesspool of misogyny, and frankly, rape and sexual harassment, and somehow, the angel of death has just flown over them. Why do you think that is?” asked Maher.
