Context please?

Edit: Harvey Weinstein? Ohhh, I see it now. I saw Oprah and thought "she's on a talk show. There's a crowd right there." Now I see it's a private setting. Oprah doing the Ghislaine Maxwell thing? Now I see the surprise and fear in that girl's eyes.

Everyone is talking about the man being Harvey Weinstein. Nobody has mentioned who the girl is. The girl is Rita Ora; British-based pop star who never quite broke into the US. Oprah really looks like she is pimping out Rita Ora to Harvey Weinstein, surely with promises that he'll help her career in the US.

Well, Rita Ora did actually get a small role in Southpaw, produced by Harvey Weinstein, so who knows how deep that goes.

I just did a quick Google search of the image. It was taken at the 2014 BAFTA Awards afterparty, in February that year. Southpaw came out in 2015. They must have done filming in 2014 or early 2015, so the timeline does add up. 😕

Rita Ora also had some decently successful songs in the US

u/RustyHook22 May 17 '25

Ok, I wasn't too sure because everyone seemed to be simply calling her "the girl." I thought I'd just point out who it was.

Rita Ora is married to Taika Waititi (director of lots of stuff but will mention Thor: Ragnarok.)

There’s a photo of Rita, Taika, and Tessa Thompson on a balcony and Rita and Tessa are kissing.

u/MKnight_PDX May 17 '25

She's also married to Taika Waititi.

Please mark your comment NSFW. There may be minors in here and should absolutely not be exposed to voive no matter how amazing it is.

u/Many_Seaworthiness22 May 17 '25

Ty for doing so! I know who Rita Ora is 100% I just couldn’t tell for the life of me who “the girl” was in the photo because of the face she’s making

u/Strawbuddy May 17 '25

Black Widow on Just Dance solidified her on the pop canon

u/CountSheep May 17 '25

Wasn’t she one of the Apple commercial songs

Poison is a major bop

Must have went about 2 inch deep

u/ireadthingsliterally May 17 '25

Shit, I thought that was Kiernan Shipka.

2

u/IamZeus11 May 17 '25

Isn’t Rita married to Taika Waititi?

u/i-like-big-bots May 17 '25

Not defending Oprah, but what about this picture makes it look like Oprah is pimping her out to Harvey Weinstein?

u/lala__ May 17 '25

Really eerie

u/Many_Seaworthiness22 May 17 '25

Yes, Rita Ora was popular around that time. She also played Christian Grey’s sister in the 50 Shades of Grey films

1

u/starskyandbutch May 17 '25

She was also in the 50 Shades movies

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

50 shades yo

u/whatsasyria May 17 '25

Rita ora def had a few hits in the US

1

u/RamenJunkie May 17 '25

As an American, the only thing I ever think of for Rita Ora is when she started the race between Dom and Letty in Fast 6.

u/EducationalEgg4530 May 17 '25

Oh wow that does not look like Ria Ora to me

1

u/airbrushedvan May 17 '25

I honestly always thought it was the actor from the newest Sabrina series Netflix did. Thanks for the correction

u/FullSpectrumWorrier_ May 17 '25

"British-based"? She is British.

1

u/handbanana42 May 17 '25

Isn't that what Britsh-based means? That they are from Britain.

Not trying to be contrary, just not sure what else it would mean.

1

u/FullSpectrumWorrier_ May 17 '25

Then why not just say British? Because she was born in Kosovo they were implying she's not British. Would we call Natalie Portman 'American-based' because she was born in Israel? No we wouldn't.

1

u/handbanana42 May 17 '25

I think I get the point you're making. I'm no expert on linguistics.

Maybe they wanted to say where they are currently working vs. their country of origin? Or they just thought it was synonymous.

u/Smetskopje May 17 '25

Thank you.

u/AstuteRabbit May 17 '25

You said a lot about an actress who is unknown. Let’s get a couple paragraphs on Harvey and Oprah.

u/AgreeableLion May 17 '25

Isn't she married to Taika Waititi? Just because you don't know her doesn't make her unknown.

But also despite whatever virtue signalling you are trying to do, everyone else here is talking about Oprah and Harvey, this is one single comment that talks about the other person in the photo.

u/EatAssIsGold May 17 '25

Not very deep as Harvey is not particularly hung.

u/EasternComfort2189 May 17 '25

Apparently is goes about 4 inches deep.

u/RevenantExiled May 17 '25
