I used to love her, but I can't stomach her any more since she came out in support of Polanski.
Anyone know anything about why she signed the petition but Cassel didn't?
What exactly about Polanski did she support?

I found this in a discussion about it, apparently all she really supported was the release of a film he had directed (which was already made) that was being suppressed.
She didn't sign a petition that meant to absolve him of his disgusting sex crime from years ago...
"Polanski isn’t being imprisoned because of the rape he committed. If this were the case, he would have been apprehended many, many years ago.
What Polanski did was appalling, though I believe it is not uncommon in high society circles. However, the victim feels that a civil suit has resolved this some time ago and it is not in the interest of her or her family for further action to be taken. She has requested that all charges be dropped.
The real issue is the release of the film ‘Ghost’ which Polanski has been working on. It was due for release at the end of this year and has now been shelved. There are people with power and influence who do not wish ordinary people to see and consider the information presented in this film.
We should all be very concerned about the enormous efforts being made to suppress this film – in a supposedly ‘free’ society.
I would recommend that everyone read the book – to determine what this case is really all about."
