Read the Academys full statement below:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors met today to discuss the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, and has voted well in excess of the required two-thirds majority to immediately expel him from the Academy. We do so not simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over. Whats at issue here is a deeply troubling problem that has no place in our society. The Board continues to work to establish ethical standards of conduct that all Academy members will be expected to exemplify.

They are tossing a sacrifice to the howling wolves in the hope the wolves will be satisfied and not come after more of them. How pathetic.And now the wolves know where to go for a meal.

That's the money question right there? It's been speculated that this was a power struggle between Harvey and his brother for control of the company, but this whole episode reeks of supreme vindictiveness .. more than one would normally expect from a sibling.
Harvey went down his usual path, but this time with the wrong daughter or wife, IMO.

Theres got to be an untold story here. That is what I have been thinking. What was the catalyst to ruin his (public) reputation/career? Was it his brother who got sick and tired of his behavior?

Harvey Weinstein will be producing movies within 18 months, and will win an Oscar (to a standing ovation) within three years.
As far as “handling other cases”? Don’t be ridiculous.

His law license. Yes. But he still has the worshipful adoration of Hollywood, the "news" media, academia, the Democrat Party, and the rest of the trash of decadent America.
But, when you think about it, his values and their values are the same.

He wasn’t kicked out because The Academy learned of his depravity - they already knew.
They kicked him out because WE found out.
To: Terry Mross
Im sure she did. How else could such a homely talentless broad get parts year after year, unless she was doing Weinstein? She is not an actress...she is a mimic. She does all de accenz so vell...vouldn you agree?

And all the women that shut their mouth so they could make lotsa, lotsa money have promised to give all the monies ever earned because of Weinstein to charity."Give all your dirty Weinstein money to the Clinton Foundation! It's your penitential duty!"

“Hillary disavowed him after 5 days...”
That’s FIVE WHOLE DAYS. The shooting in Vegas hadn’t been over but ONE HOUR or two, and she had no problem yapping about gun evils.
