Harvey Weinstein Fired From The Weinstein Company
The Wrap ^ | 8 Oct 17 | Sharon Waxman

Posted on 10/08/2017 4:31:07 PM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

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.

...

Would his brother spill the beans to protect the company, gain control of the company, or some other reason?

Interesting - I’m suspecting that Weinstein is being given up right now to try to distract from the much bigger and more disgraceful child-sex-abuse that apparently is and has been rampant in Hollywood and has been getting more and more publicity lately - hopefully the distraction won’t be for long......

Not sure, but then again, Weinstein was ‘connected’... a film heavyweight.

He thought he was immune, but found out different. The mystery though, is why. It isn’t like this wasn’t known, everyone knew. Currently the democrats need money bad, and he was a giant fundraiser. And it wasn’t the republicans either. This was the democrats bringing down one of their own.

He was shielded for decades. It makes me wonder who he finally pissed off.

We've all heard for years and years about the infamous casting couch where Hollywood bigwigs would "audition" starlets. Why is this only now an issue and why this guy? He was an absolute degenerate pig, no doubt, who used his money and power to feed his ego with every beautiful woman who he knew would never have given him a second look were it not for his position. I say, what about all the OTHER men like him?

But certainly not all the blame rides on Harvey. He had his enablers in the business as well as the women who willfully subjected themselves to him in order to make money and a name for themselves. Not to mention...his WIFE, who had to know this was going on and stayed with him for the same reasons. Disgusting! It's no wonder the filth that has been pouring out of there for so long.

Rose McGowan was with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson for a long time. She was big into the weird.

This is the real reason the Left HATES Trump, they thought he was one of them and they told him all their dirty secrects years ago.

>> Why is this only now an issue

Lost containment of the narrative. Same thing happened with the MSM’s tacit support of Antifa up until a few weeks ago.

Not much different than the derelict that knows his limits, the Left has a good sense about what it can protect from the law, and what must be discarded/sacrificed.

The likes of Carlos Slim broke this story. Not Disney, not Comcast, not Viacom — the “All American” corporations that evidently don’t give a damn.

Sounds like Hollywood needs some “gun” control.

"New information" ..."NEW INFORMATION"?

What a joke; all of theservice clowwns have openly known about Weinstein's reprobate, perverted, degenerate, violent, illegal lifestyle and actions for decades and have said or done absolutely nothing before now to report or to stop him.

"New information" my eye.

Because even The Times knows the current administration won’t destroy them over it?

It’s far out there, but not impossible.

They would have been hit with an “audit” if they reported this under He Who Shall Not Be Named”

gop.com > research > Harvey Weinstein  reveals which democrats got money from Harvey Jong-un.

Harvey Jong-un gave money to Terry McHitler:
"Weinstein Gave Governor Terry McAuliffe A $32,535 In-Kind Contribution"

McAuliffe says he'll seek new gun restrictions in Virginia after Las Vegas massacre

…including bans on bump stock devices, high-capacity magazines and “military-style assault rifles.”

Is applying the same rules to Harvy Weinstein as everyone else ‘changing the rules’? Guess so. Next they’ll apply them to Bill.
