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.

He’s radioactive, Jim .....
But he helped Hillary and the Democrats! It’s not fair for them to change the rules now!
Personally, I don't care much for him, Hollywood, or the enablers who covered up his behavior for years.
However, he was a BIG Democrat "bundler", and is joined at the hip with the Liberal establishment. Let them stew in this mess that they all made.
How ironic! Harvey helps the Clintons.
I’ve heard so many people intone on behalf of Bill Clinton: “It was only sex!”, which, of course, was not true. This is evidenced by the fact that in the federal case Bill had to agree to surrender his law license for a probationary period. This is something that doesn’t happen if it were only sex.
However, in Harvey’s case, it probably was ONLY SEX (with a little sexism mixed in).
Harvey is in a position to complain that he didn’t get the “Clinton treatment” from his liberal pals!
Not sure which is most covered up...who and why Wienstein is thrown under the bus or the FBICIASWAMP covering up the Las Vegas shooter.
Bundlers like this on the outs makes the Dems almost appear dead.
If it weren’t for our fake republicans, they would be.
The Obama’s were so happy when their daughter was chosen to “intern”
For him !
It’s definitely a fall of epic proportions when you get fired from your own company.
The story must be immensely more sordid than even what we’ve heard. All those buddy-buddy pics with the Clintons and the Obamas...
Not only did Judd have a meltdown at the "Pussy March" in January, she also went nuts on a basketball fan who was a Trump supporters at a Kentucky Wildcats game.
A person who went to high school with Judd said he didn't recognize her anymore - she was unhinged.
Rose McGowen shaved her head and has been on a mental down slide for years.
All of Hollywood knows this, and still they covered up for Weinstein for years.
Wow! What a despicable guy. No wonder some of his movies were so sick.
Looks like Michele swallowed (smirk).
"So if you could make a donation, The Clinton Foundation
is helping dozens of impoverished Haitians."
Good, the ugly slob.
I’m sure he’ll console himself with a pallet of Krispy Kreme donuts.
Now that he has been severed from his own company, the propaganda media can stop covering the Weinstein story and get back to attacking President Trump. This should be sarcasm, but it isn’t.
gotta wonder if he hit on her ... or vice versa
Wonder how Harvey treated his celebrity interns?
Any of the reporterettes thought about taking a trip to Harvard and getting an update?
