Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced cofounder and CEO of The Weinstein Company, has been fired effective immediately, his board of directors said on Sunday.
The statement said:
“In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company – Robert Weinstein, Lance Maerov, Richard Koenigsberg and Tarak Ben Ammar – have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately.”
The company has been under intense pressure since The New York Times broke an investigative story on Thursday detailing three decades of sexual misconduct, including propositioning actresses and harrassing female employees. More ugly stories continued to dribble out over the weekend, including a vulgar report by a news anchor that Weinstein masturbated in front of her and other stories of inappropriate propositions.

could not happen to a nicer guy, his boorish behavoiur is lengndary. Reminds me of Bob Filner who did the same thing as a congress critter before being elected mayor of San Diego. The truth will come out
Bttt
Nice find.......
Perfect! I love you, Slyfox!
To echo so many Freepers who posted the same; “Why now and what happened?”
May be that is why Harvey is in a heap of trouble. He hit on the wrong kid.
When the dems realize that Hitliary has zilch power left, she will get Weinsteined.
Hoist on his own petard!
I. Love. It!
Now...let’s make DAMN SURE that members of the Socialist Democrat Party don’t get a Free Pass on this!
This is one of the FEW of the Leftist Buffoons in my memory that has EVER been called on the carpet (so to speak) for Bad Behavior.
It SHOULD have been Bill Clinton, but we need to start SOMEWHERE!
This guy must’ve raped a Democrat Senator’s daughter/niece to be getting THIS kind of treatment...
Did he put the moves on Amy Schumer? *SMIRK*
“When the dems realize that Hitliary has zilch power left, she will get Weinsteined.”
Oh, Please! Oh, Please! OH, PLEASE!
His brother did. I’m sure of it. I’m an actor who lived in Hollywood for 2 decades. He has a very long list of women he has had to pay off to keep quite.
Oh my, oh my!!! but but we Demorats didn’t know!!!!
And when it’s proven that they did know their party will cease to be taken seriously again other than by Hollywood and Antifa.
Weinstein is the new Bedford Forrest. All his awards must be taken down; all honors revoked. All who served with him must be disavowed. All his movies must be banned.
Hollywood is the new Fort Pillow.
But...but...how could this happen to the man Meryl Streep referred to as “God” at a recent awards ceremony - could it be that she’s stupid?.....
The most likely suspect is said to be his brother Bob, who wants total control of the business and doesn’t like Harvey that much anyway.
Now that he’s lost a significant amount of power, does the other shoe finally drop?
worked in state hospitals. Amazed at first young teens suicidal, beautiful and messed up in Hollywood sex rings. Can’t say more than that however this sounds like bribe or blackmail, big one. From what I’ve heard/observed( charts and verbals) there is such a demonic cult/pedo ring this goes much farther than Hollywood but it is horrendously bad. Any cop walking the Sunset Blvd beat can tell you that and it get worse the higher one goes...hope this isn’t too revealing, I need my danged pension but this crap somehow has to end.
And now fatso is the latest celeb to jump on the gun control bandwagon. Don’t suppose those nasty sex abuse allegations have anything to do with it? Given the poorly kept secret of sex abuse and child molestation rampant in show biz it’s becoming quite clear why the overpaid mannequins in Hollywood are doing photo ops , looking pretty standing in front of the step and repeat backdrops calling for more gun control, if not confiscation.
Wow. What a power struggle. This whole mess is Shakespearean, or a story worthy of a requiem in an Opera.
If the stool pigeon is his brother, I expect there will be sabotage and much, much worse coming in the future to exact revenge.
Which is why his threats are empty. The last thing he wants is for a long string of women telling what a creep he is.
