But reading the article, it was Judi herself who relayed the anecdote regarding a fake tatoo ['JD loves HW'] that she had someone temporarily scrawl on her behind as a practical joke she played on Harvey Weinstein. However shocking it might be, quite clearly Judi Dench was apparently not involved in any sexual harassment incident with Weinstein, which the posting of the article, and your reaction to it, suggests. While Judi's behavior sounds scandalous when coupled with knowledge of Weinstein's crude behavior toward young female actors, there's no indication that Judi was aware of Weinstein's bullying and sexual abuse. Weinstein's actions are beyond reprehensible, but there are obviously many reasons why it went on for so long, including a general atmosphere of being beholden to a deep-pocketed career-maker, coercion, money, power, good 'ol boy behavior being condoned, lack of direct knowledge, fear on the part of victims, cowardice by those with some snippets of direct knowledge, corruption, disbelief, patriarchal culture, misogyny, unwitting enabling, culpable enabling, etc.
I would imagine that many of us are aware of situations in our own lives or in the lives of someone we know where we may have been confronted with less than appropriate behavior by a person of either gender in a workplace environment or social setting. It's possible that we or the persons we know escaped relatively unscathed, or not. This type of stuff does not just go on in Hollywood, in corporate workplaces and in social settings, it also goes on unfortunately within families, and in churches, as perpetrated by adults against innocent and powerless children.
Within all kinds of industries, institutions and social environments, there may exist varying levels of sexual predation, culpability, victimization, complicity, actual knowledge or suspicion, rumor, inappropriate flirting to tempt and entice, or outright coercion and contemptible, horrific acts of abuse, blackmail and quid pro quo. The more light that is shed and calling out of abuses by people in power, the better. The 2015 film Spotlight shed light on one of the darkest and most reprehensible hidden secrets of child sexual abuse. What's most affecting about that fact-based film is not just the decades it took for the story to come to enterprising reporters' attention, and not just their dedication and grinding, unforgiving work in trying to unravel the story. The most gut-wrenching and affecting thing is how the newspaper and the reporters came to realize that they too were somehow complicit in the cover-up that had gone on for decades, and how the entire community, not just TPTB in the Catholic Church, were also complicit mostly unwittingly, unwillingly, carelessly, uneasily, or fearfully, but still complicit.
For further reflection, there's the Bible verse John 8:7, that cautions us to think twice re 'casting the first stone.' IOW, these terrible incidents should not be used as an opportunity for anyone to sit atop a high horse, politically, morally or otherwise.
... making a mental note: if you meet a Liberal Jewish man with familia name starting with Wein, run.....!
between consenting adults and pref. if they keep it private. I defended Bill Clinton's right to have affairs as long as he takes them to a hotel and not the WH.... I even offended "Americans" a while back, calling them prudes compared to Europe where politicians who are divorced, single, married to models and grand-mothers, etc... 
because I thought it was weird to get a tattoo like that on your butt. (I hadn't heard it was a temporary tattoo and a practical joke.) That's all. I didn't say or think that Dench had also been harassed or assaulted.
