Bill Maher Asks Why #MeToo Didn’t Hit Music Industry, Fran Lebowitz Says It’s “Much More Lucrative”

> “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.

> Lebowitz offered, “I think because this is a capitalist country, and the music industry is much more lucrative than NPR. That would be my guess.

> “A lot of the stories about everybody starting with #MeToo, I’d heard a lot of these stories for many years,” she continued. “So, Puffy, this was not exactly a state secret. But it was a state secret apparently to them.”
