Harvey’s Brother Bob Weinstein Accused of Sexual Harassment By Executive Producer
GP ^ | 10/17/17 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 10/17/2017 12:30:23 PM PDT by Enlightened1

It’s Harvey Weinstein’s brother, Bob’s turn in the hot seat. The co-founder of The Weinstein Company has been slapped with sexual harassment allegations of his own, as Hollywood continues to real from bombshell after bombshell.

Variety reports:

Amanda Segel, an executive producer of “Mist,” said Weinstein repeatedly made romantic overtures to her and asked her to join him for private dinners. The harassment began in the summer of 2016 and continued on and off for about three months until Segel’s lawyer, David Fox of Myman Greenspan, informed TWC executives — including COO David Glasser — that she would leave the show if Bob Weinstein did not stop contacting her on personal matters.

“ ‘No’ should be enough,” Segel told Variety. “After ‘no,’ anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn’t want a friendship. He wanted more than that. My hope is that ‘no’ is enough from now on.”

“Bob Weinstein had dinner with Ms. Segel in LA in June 2016. He denies any claims that he behaved inappropriately at or after the dinner. It is most unfortunate that any such claim has been made,” a representative for Bob Weinstein said in a statement to Variety.

Variety has more:

During the dinner, Weinstein asked Segel highly intimate questions and made romantic overtures to her, according to Segel. He wanted to know her age because he told her he didn’t want to date anyone younger than his daughter. He told Segel that he was staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel because his daughter was staying at his home in Los Angeles.

Yes, it’s too real as they continue to reel.

This is very thin gruel.

As these charges become more and more nebulous that sets up the reversal whereby the real crimes are trivialized.

I hate to have to defend what is probably another lefty liberal Hollywood type but after reading the article, I didn’t see anything there. Per the article, he never inappropriately touched her, he didn’t grope her or sexually assault her. Again, per the article it sounds like he aggressively pursued her romantically and when she threatened to quit the show he backed off. Uh, where’s the sexual harassment?

If you want to lambast Bob Weinstein, I’m guessing he knew all about his brothers actions and did nothing about it until now. That’s what he’s guilty of, not this IMO.

Hollywood is wall-to-wall creeps. Rip the covers off ... watch the cockroaches scurry around.

He “made romantic overtures” and asked her out to dinner?

That’s “sexual assault” nowadays?

Come Jesus come. It’s time to end this.

Thin gruel indeed.

If men stopped asking women out after they were told No, well, then the world’s population would be much, much smaller than it is now.

You're right, they have a lot in common. NFL players famously mistreat women...

Most or all of Harvey’s accuser/women wanted something from him: Fame and/or fortune. That makes them practitioners of the oldest profession.

If they were wronged they could have preferred charges at the time. Jumping on the bandwagon now is hopes for a payout.

I don’t care what Harv did with his tool. I think the only ones who do see themselves in line for some cash.

Justice? Hell no. Whoever heard of justice among liberals.
