The popular Movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been fired
from his own business, which he founded, amid allegations that he sexually
harassed women for decades.
The Board of Directors of The Weinstein Company issued a
statement Saturday night in regards to the several rape accusations:
"In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company ... have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately."
Weinstein’s sack, comes just days after accusations against
him were made public after New York Times published a story Thursday detailing
allegations that the Oscar-winning movie and TV producer had sexually harassed
several actresses and employees over a period of more than 20 years, including
Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan.
Weinstein had reached at least eight settlements with women
who accused him of harassment, including multiple former employees of the
Weinstein Co. and his previous business, Miramax.
A New York Times article reported that Weinstein has, over
several decades sexually harassed a number of women, including actresses Ashley
Judd and Rose McGowan.
