Harvey Weinstein Fired!


This article comes from the Gateway Pundit.

As previously reported, embattled Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is the subject of a devastating expose detailing decades of sexual harassment.


So far the Hollywood elites have yet to condemn serial predator Harvey Weinstein.


The Wrap just reported that Weinstein has been fired effective immediately, his board of directors said on Sunday.


Via The Wrap:


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.”



In a related news item, Meryl Streep issued a statement condemning the sexual harassment of Harvey Weinstein:


After several days and a huge amount of media attention Meryl Streep finally released a statement condemning Harvey Weinstein’s abusive behavior.


Yashar Ali at The Huffington Post posted her statement:


“The disgraceful news about Harvey Weinstein has appalled those of us whose work he championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported. The intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes.


One thing can be clarified. Not everybody knew. Harvey supported the work fiercely, was exasperating but respectful with me in our working relationship, and with many others with whom he worked professionally. I didn’t know about these other offenses: I did not know about his financial settlements with actresses and colleagues; I did not know about his having meetings in his hotel room, his bathroom, or other inappropriate, coercive acts. And If everybody knew, I don’t believe that all the investigative reporters in the entertainment and the hard news media would have neglected for decades to write about it.


The behavior is inexcusable, but the abuse of power familiar. Each brave voice that is raised, heard and credited by our watchdog media will ultimately change the game.”
