Comedian Seth MacFarlane admitted Wednesday that he ripped Harvey Weinstein ahead of the 2013 Oscars after learning the movie mogul preyed on his pal Jessica Barth.
Back then, the “Family Guy” creator notably cracked, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein,” as he read off nominees for the Supporting Actress category.
The clip has gone viral since the Weinstein scandal came to light.

Yeah right. Sethie, if you were trying to p!ss off Weinstein, you would have never found a gig in hollywood again.
Now he’s Captain Quirk.
Riiiiiiiighttttt
Seth, dude...
If it was shameful back then, and sleazy, and criminal back then, why did you allow it to continue for 4 more years? And, if you knew it in 2013, you likely knew it years before, so, you allowed criminal behavior to occur for many years, just because you were likely worried about your career.
Condoning criminal behavior is not worth selling out on your principles, and apparently, you have proven to be not principled at all.
NEW YORK — Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused Bill Clinton of raping her twice in a hotel room in 1978, sees echoes of her own experiences in the case of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused by scores of actresses over the years of sexual harassment or assault.
... and, presumably, Merle Streep had to have someone explain to her MacFarlane’s witticism, amid all the laughter in the room, because “not everybody knew.”
I don’t believe a syllable of it.
Oh BS Seth. If you meant for it to be an attack you would’ve said it as an attack - you made a stereotypical joke about Hollywood power agents and casting couches and, like everyone else now, are just tying to jump on the virtue signal train about how noble and decent a white knight you are.
You didn’t help your girlfriend and you didn’t stop other young girls from being assaulted even though you admit you knew and the BEST you could do was crack a joke.
So brave. So edgy.
Right.
When is someone going to say something about the pedophiles?
Oh yeah, it’s Nathan Hale all over again. “I only regret that I have only one lame joke to crack in defense of Hollywood women.”
Yeah, quite the hero you are, chump.
Hollywood and the political left have thrown Weinsten under the bus. They have thrown him under the bus hoping this will satisfy us. What they are really afraid of is the total deprivation of Hollywood becoming public. Think pedophilia, it was and is rampant.
Hollywood today is living in “interesting times.” The Chinese proverb of “may you live in interesting times” actually means all hell is about to descend on you.
All those hypocrites knew exactly what that pig was and knew for years. Even those that were not part of it are guilty by their silence.
ps
Harvey Weinstein has fled the United States. He has fled because he knows his criminal acts that have not passed the statute of limitations will soon be public.
LOL! Way to go Seth! Thanks for letting us know 4 years aftter your "joke".
Douchebag.
Of course all of Hollywood knew of Weinstein. Even that lying bitch Streep. That’s why he was able to cover it up for decades.
We’ll see if Jimmy Kimmel starts crying tonight about how none of Hollywood, especially himself, knew that Weinstein was a predator. Either that or he’ll claim that all these women are lying and that Weinstein was a model human.
there is a thing called laughing with some one and laughing at some one. Seth was laughing with Weinstein and if you look at the implication of the joke. all five nominees had to put up with disgusting behavior and maybe a rape.
the other implication of the joke is that the seriousness of the situation was wide enough with those in the audience that a majority got it.
