Mid-way through the new season of GLOW, the Netflix female wrestling comedy trotted out an all-too-familiar Hollywood horror tale. Then, it decided to dig deeper.
After seeing some success with their GLOW TV show featuring the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, leading wrestler Ruth Wilder,played by Alison Brie, finds out their network boss is a fan of her Russian villain character in the ring and wants to meet for dinner to discuss her career. When she arrives at the Hollywood hotel's restaurant, however, the scene plays out like too many others that have made headline news since Harvey Weinstein kicked off the #MeToo movement last fall.
