Michael Moore Slams Weinstein Over Alleged Behavior, Calls for a "World Without Harveys"

"I'm guessing successful sociopaths like him who get away with it for years are very, very careful not to let the kind of men who would stop them dead cold ever get a glimpse of who they really are," he wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.

Michael Moore, who worked with Harvey Weinstein on his 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, is breaking his silence on the disgraced mogul since separate reports from the New York Times and The New Yorker broke, detailing allegations of sexual harassment and rape against him. Dozens of women have since come forward with similar claims.

The director slammed Weinstein in a post on his Facebook page on Friday, writing, "Harvey Weinstein knew better than to behave inappropriately toward women in my presence. I'm guessing successful sociopaths like him who get away with it for years are very, very careful not to let the kind of men who would stop them dead cold ever get a glimpse of who they really are."

Praising the Times report, Moore said he believes right now "is a profound cultural/social/political moment that I believe could actually ignite a historic change in our society."

The filmmaker also laid out suggestions on how to change Hollywood, including “[putting] all abusers on notice NOW," and urged other abusers to "avoid this cruel end by resigning now." He also implored men "who do treat women as equals and behave toward them with respect and dignity" to "step forward,” calling on boards of directors at other studios and across corporate America to "declare gender parity the new priority."

Birds of a feather. Obnoxious men are consistently sexual predators. They are also liars of the first order.

Fat and disgusting defines both men. Sexual blackmail is not consent, quite. It is more a negotiating tool.

OK, Mikey, show us your man cajones: do an in-depth documentary about Hollywood’s and DC’s powerful sexual predators. Get deep and gritty. Do a real, edgy, risky foray into the truth, for all to see. Dare ya! Then do one about Islam, women and homosexuals. Dare ya!

I don't use Twitter, but I hope you will post this message to him publicly. It is the heart of the matter.

Easy for Michael Moore to say. He looks like a farm animal and would have to put a gun to a girl’s head to get a little kiss. Probably have to actually shoot her.
