Buzzfeed reports HW fired
Film executive Harvey Weinstein has been fired from The Weinstein Company, the board officially announced on Sunday. The news comes in the wake of the New York Times’ blockbuster story on Thursday alleging decades of sexual harassment on the film executive’s part.
“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,” the company said in a statement Sunday.
The move follows the board’s announcement Friday that Weinstein would take a leave of absence, and that the company had hired an outside attorney — John Kiernan of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP — to conduct an investigation into the allegations. “We take extremely seriously the accusations published in today’s New York Times about our Company’s co-chairman Harvey Weinstein,” Friday’s statement read in part. “It is essential to our Company’s culture that all women who work for it or have any dealings with it or any of our executives are treated with respect and have no experience of harassment or discrimination.”
