Harvey Weinstein = Hollywood dumpster fire.

[mastamind033]

Now I remember why I never joined twitter, smh at all that poison they allow but suspend Rose for calling out sexual assault

 

[consios]

These powerful dudes should just stick to high end escorts and save themselves the headache. Im not about to cape for this dude because he was probably silent when they did that smear campaign on Cosby. Dudes better tighten up feminazis getting ready to suppress men even more they currently rewriting laws so chicks can file rape charges any time even if its 10 years after it happened. And who knows what else they cooking up.

All these stories it seems like he used his power to try to get women to sleep with him. Why is everybody being hush about the other men guilty of this but just piling on Harvey. But like I said before im not going to cape for this dude.

Pretty sure they suspended her account because she was posting phone numbers.

The Not-So-"Quiet" Bob Weinstein: Did Harvey Weinstein's Brother Want Him Out of the Hollywood Empire They Built Together?

By: NATALIE FINN
Thu., Oct. 12, 2017 5:42 PM PDT

In a week's time, Harvey Weinstein's already tenuous grasp on his place in the Hollywood hierarchy has unraveled completely.

He's been fired from his own namesake company, which is reportedly planning on changing its name in an attempt at distancing itself from its tarnished co-founder. His wife, Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman, is leaving him. And now New York police and reportedly London's Scotland Yard are investigating the disgraced mogul.

The tentacles of this grotesquerie—which have already reached beyond Hollywood and into the worlds of politics and deep-pocketed philanthropy that Weinstein also circulated in—continue to suck in one bold-faced name after another. But even within the first few moments after the New York Times' investigative report on decades' worth of accusations of sexual misconduct and harassment was published last Thursday, the common denominator had revealed itself: Harvey Weinstein's alleged pattern of mistreating women was what you call an "open secret," a tacitly acknowledged cost of doing business with one of the most powerful figures in show business.

Every Star Who Has Spoken Out Against Harvey Weinstein Amid His Sexual Harassment Allegations

However often that cost included looking the other way or being victimized one's self is part of the story still unfolding, seemingly by the minute, but there's no question–considering Weinstein has admitted to engaging in "bad behavior" and acting in a way that "caused a lot of pain"—that an unfathomably large network of people helped keep this inexcusable power structure in place for more than 20 years. (Weinstein has stated via his attorney his intent to sue the Times over its story and he has denied allegations of "non-consensual sex" or retaliation as detailed in Ronan Farrow's article for the New Yorker that went live Tuesday.)

News that Harvey had been ousted from the Weinstein Company broke on Sunday, three days after the Times piece. Three members of the board have resigned so far, but the party line is that no one really knew what Harvey was up to. Not even his only brother.

But how is that possible? How did Bob Weinstein, who co-founded Miramax with Harvey in 1979 and has been his business partner ever since, not know? If not every sordid detail, but of a larger behavioral pattern that any conscientious executive would suspect had the potential to ruin them at any moment? The Times reported that Harvey had reached at least eight financial settlements with women he'd mistreated. The paper also reported that Bob was among the executives and board members who were alarmed in 2015 by a memo written by TWC employee Lauren O'Connor that detailed allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Harvey and called the company a "toxic environment for women." (O'Connor was one of the women whom the Times said dropped her complaint after agreeing to a financial settlement.)

MATHEW IMAGING/WIREIMAGE

It should already have been abundantly clear, not just to the men of Hollywood but to all men, that notacting like a creep yourself is sadly only the beginning. Speaking out, not letting others be subjected to treatment you know is wrong, is the only way progress is going to be made.

Perhaps it's clearer now. But what is also now apparent is that the determination to "not know" is a powerful force.

A growing number of stars, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Blake Livelyand Ryan Gosling, have condemned Weinstein's reported behavior and counted themselves among those who were not privy to that side of the at-times adequately professional impresario.

But Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Mira Sorvino, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolieand Kate Beckinsaleare among the now dozen-plus women who have come forward with claims that they were propositioned or otherwise mistreated by Weinstein—an indicator of just how deeply this toxicity has penetrated the upper echelons of Hollywood. Moreover, E! News has confirmed that Paltrow told her then-boyfriend Brad Pittabout her experience, and he confronted Weinstein to let him know it better not happen again. McGowan has alleged in tweets that Ben Affleck was aware in the 1990s of her assault accusation against Weinstein too. Affleck has yet to respond.

Hollywood Is at a Crossroads-Finally-in the Wake of Explosively Damning Allegations Against Harvey Weinstein

So did more people actually know-know, or did they know something, but couldn't even begin to comprehend the level of what was allegedly taking place, the sheer number of women involved? Is Bob Weinstein, the legendarily quieter of the two who was considered the numbers-and-strategy guy to his brother's loud-mouthed visionary, just one of the bunch who knew that Harvey was a creep but took pains to not know more?

And if so, did the recent tidal wave of new information prove the tipping point for the "other Weinstein brother"?

BARBARA ALPER/GETTY IMAGES

Peter Biskind's seminal 2004 book Down and Dirty Pictures, about the rise of the independent film industry, with Miramax (and its "reputation for malice and brutality") leading the charge, doesn't mention any allegations of sexual misconduct, but in hindsight some of the commentary sounds suspect.

"I don't think he's a decent guy," former Miramax exec Tom Safford says in the book. "I think he's a bad guy who can't help himself."

"A lot of people are afraid to speak out," director James Ivory also told Biskind, who said most people agreed with a roll of their eyes that Harvey was "difficult." Ivory continued, "Directors, actors and actresses, and other people who eventually might end up in his hands again, might want to make another movie with him even though they've had a bad experience; they're not going to talk."

BEI/REX/STEPHEN LOVEKIN/GETTY IMAGES

Biskind, meanwhile, did hear harassment stories about Harvey, including Paltrow's story about her arriving at a meeting at his hotel room only to be asked to give him a massage and follow him into the bedroom. In fact, he heard it from Brad Pitt.

"...But it was off the record and so I never used that," Biskind told the Huffington Post this week. "I was writing a profile of Brad Pitt for Vanity Fair." He didn't tell VF editor Graydon Carter, either, because "I didn't use it, because it was off the record, and it was a kind of parenthetical in the interview."

Ultimately, Biskind said, he didn't think at the time that Harvey's alleged mistreatment of women "affected the business that much. I didn't see the connection." And he was writing not expressly about Harvey, he said, but about the business.

DALE WILCOX/BEI/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK

Biskind's book, meanwhile, doesn't absolve Bob Weinstein of being a cut-throat businessman, or prone to insisting he get his way on a project, or being just as scary as his brother when it came to bringing down the hammer on a film set or flying off the handle at work.

"Bob is the scary one, for me," Paul Webster, head of production at Miramax between 1995 and 1997, told Biskind. "For the first three months I didn't even walk into his office. The air in there was so weird." "You can't really tell what's going on in Bob's mind," producer Mark Tusk also says in the book. "He will turn on a dime."

But Harvey was the "difficult" one.

Sorvino told Farrow that, after Harvey came on to her in 1995, after the Miramax-distributed Mighty Aphrodite premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, she continued to have a professional relationship with him—and she remains close friends with Bob Weinstein. She says she never told Bob what happened. Sorvino won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the film and is convinced that telling a female employee at Miramax about her experience had a negative effect at her career. (Again, Harvey Weinstein denied ever retaliating against women who resisted his advances.)

BEI/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK

And that's the only instance in which Bob is mentioned in Farrow's entire story. Though there's no pretense that Harvey Weinstein is the only kingmaker who was chronically engaging in reprehensible behavior toward women and now Hollywood's problem is solved, there's no evidence that 62-year-old Bob Weinstein—for all of his own documented behavioral quirks—has ever been one of them.

"You don't want to get Bob on a bad day," former Miramax marketing executive Eamonn Bowles says in Down and Dirty Pictures. "But he's more of a mensch. Bob would flip out, he'd be all pissed off, but it would be, the guy's got a reason."

As for Harvey, Bowles said, "I'd spend forty-five minutes with him and think, Wow, what a great guy, and two minutes later he'd be the most fearsome person you ever met in your life."

Biskind writes that "you could have produced a small film on the money Miramax must have spent on Harvey-didn't-mean-it flowers."

At this moment, however, it would seem that Bob Weinstein's only concern is saving what he and his brother built, if that's possible, considering one of the company's first orders of business was to scrub Harvey's name from every film and TV production they have (including Project Runway, a new episode of which airs tonight). "We are going to be O.K.," Weinstein Company president David Glasser reportedly told the board at the emergency meeting called last Thursday in the hours after the Times report came out.

So far in the wake of the explosive allegations, publisher Hachette Book Group has shuttered its Weinstein Books imprint and Apple Co. opted not to move forward with a miniseries about Elvis Presleythat was being produced by TWC.

Bob and several board members stated last week that they had hired a team from law firm Debevoise & Plimpton to investigate Harvey's behavior. On Tuesday, after Farrow's story included three allegations of rape against Harvey, Bob and Glasser reportedly told TWC employees via video conference that they were shocked by the allegations of sexual assault and had no knowledge of any settlements paid. Then Bob and three board members released a new statement, obtained by the Times, saying that any "suggestion that the Board had knowledge of this conduct is false."

KMAZUR/WIREIMAGE

A lawyer who represented Harvey when his contract was up for renegotiation in 2015 told the Times that the board was made aware of three or four payments at that time. Board member Lance Maerov, who dealt with Harvey's contract renewal in 2015, said he assumed the settlements had to do with consensual affairs and that Harvey refused to let the board directly review his personnel file.

Bob had no comment for the Times when asked about the conflicting information about the board's knowledge of payouts.

Meanwhile, though Harvey was long considered the driving force behind Miramax—named after their parents, Miriam and Max—and then of TWC after the brothers acrimoniously parted ways with Miramax parent Disney in 2005, they say you should always watch out for the quiet ones.

Harvey Weinstein Has Been Terminated From The Weinstein Company, Effective Immediately

"Bob's wanted Harvey out for years," a former TWC employee told the New York Post—the paper Harvey gave his first interview to after the Times report came out—last Friday.

"There has always been a love-hate relationship between the brothers," said another source. "There have been times they wouldn't speak for months. Let's just say they have an 'inconsistent' relationship."

Bob Weinstein told the Post that any speculation that he fed the story to the Times or was trying to push his brother out of the company was "untrue."

TMZ then reported Tuesday that Bob was given his brother's HR file, containing detailed allegations of sexual harassment, about seven months ago, and that Harvey indeed believed that Bob could've blown the whistle on him.

Bob told TMZ in response, "My brother Harvey is obviously a very sick man. I've urged him to seek immediate professional help because he is in dire need of it. His remorse and apologies to the victims of his abuse are hollow. He said he would go away for help and has yet to do so.

"He has proven himself to be a world-class liar and now rather than seeking help he is looking to blame others. His assertion is categorically untrue from A to Z. I pray he gets the help that he needs and I believe that it is him behind all of these stories to distract from his own failure to get help."

A rep for Harvey in return told TMZ, "No matter what derogatory things Bob Weinstein says about his brother, Harvey Weinstein believes his brother is his brother and does not believe his brother would leak his personnel file to the NYT. Harvey is dealing with his family and is currently in counseling. These are his priorities."

The elder Weinstein brother has since flown to Arizona, where he was supposedly due to check into The Meadows (the facility where Tiger Woodssought help in the wake of his 2009 sex scandal), but is currently staying at a luxury resort.

Over the past 30 years, films the Weinstein brothers have produced and/or distributed have grossed billions of dollars at the box office and amassed more than 300 Oscar nominations. Harvey's award season campaigns are infamous for their aggressiveness—and their effectiveness. Miramax's The English Patient was crowned Best Picture in 1997 and Shakespeare in Love miraculously upset Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture in 1999, while Paltrow's Best Actress Oscar win for the film won her the bittersweet title of "first lady of Miramax."

Harvey later helped fan the momentum for The King's Speech in 2011, resulting in its Best Picture win over The Social Network, and TWC repeated that victory in 2012 with The Artist, which triumphed in the battle of the indies over Fox Searchlight's The Descendants.

Bob, who is also founder and head of TWC-owned Dimension Films, has weathered (or, until now, co-weathered) downturns in his companies' fortunes before, but this of course is a different beast, now that the very name he happens to share is curdling stomachs all over Hollywood.

SYLVAIN GABOURY/FILMMAGIC

In 2007, the Weinsteins were still in the weeds after breaking away from Disney, which had bought Miramax in 1993, a year before Pulp Fiction put both their company and Quentin Tarantino on the map. Bob told The New York Times that the bottom line "could be better," but they were purposefully trying to move past being "just" a production and distribution powerhouse, and instead were looking to diversify as a multimedia company.

"We want to be very much like the bigger companies, in a humble boutique way," Bob said. (His go-to line from the beginning of Miramax was, "We're artists. We're not interested in money." Yet Biskind's conclusion was that Bob cared more about money than anything else, while Harvey was the cinematic connoisseur who wanted to be synonymous with prestige films.)

A 2011 profile of Harvey Weinstein in Vanity Fair detailed just how much of a failure that approach turned out to be. Goldman Sachs had raised more than $1 billion for them to get The Weinstein Company off the ground in 2005, but Harvey was burned out on making movies at the time. Of the roughly 70 films they acquired and distributed between 2006 and 2009, barely 25 percent cracked $1 million at the box office. By the summer of 2008, they only had $50 million left of the $500 million in credit they started with, with yearly interest payments of $40 million to boot.

"Bob and I had never done debt," Harvey told Vanity Fair. "The investment bankers would say to us, 'Debt is cheap money.' No, it's not. Debt can be the most addictive thing in the universe, and it can kill you. You get used to living high off the hog. It was intoxicating. And so in 2008, I just woke up and said, 'This is crazy.'"

KEVIN MAZUR/WIREIMAGE

It was the resurgence of Harvey-as-moviemaker that ultimately made TWC a force to be a Miramax-esque force to be reckoned with. Yet nothing about this business is like what it used to be—as Harvey now knows all too well.

Last year TWC distributed seven films, including Best Picture Oscar nominee Lion, that together took in about $65 million at the box office, according to the New York Times. Their most recent box office hit was 2013's Lee Daniels' The Butler, which took in $116.6 million in ticket sales.

"We've had a $500 million credit line for five years, in place with 14 of the biggest banks in the world, led by Union Bank," David Glasser explained to The Hollywood Reporter in July 2016. "The movie business, at the end of the day, could be a break-even business, but the way the TV business is for this company, and all the other ancillary businesses, even if we were break even in the movie business, all the other divisions of this company are profitable and healthy... It just gets very frustrating to constantly hear about the woes of our company."

Harvey told THR, "The TV company is worth $500 million, $400 million at the worst. There is no debt. If we let go tomorrow, selling the library and selling the TV, the company is worth $700 million, $800 million in a worst-case scenario. And there is no debt."

Seven years ago, Bob reportedly disagreed with the amount Harvey was willing to bid to buy Miramax back from Disney in 2010, but reluctantly went along with the ultimately ill-fated attempt because his brother was so adamant about it. In the end, those close to them in the industry told Vanity Fair it was for the best that they didn't get the company back, that TWC was better served when it didn't try to do too much.

Yet now it's unclear whether TWC will ever do something significant again with a Weinstein at the helm.

"The timing looks good to steer the Weinstein Co. out of heavy reliance on prestige films," Marketing to Moviegoers author Robert Marich told Bloomberg News earlier this week. Added brand messaging consultant Tom Sepanski, "They still have a legacy of provocative, groundbreaking films. They're going to have some serious strategic thinking to do."

Starting with, what do we call ourselves now?

Why Ronan Farrow's Harvey Weinstein Bombshell Did Not Run on NBC

Ronan Farrow
Getty Images
9:25 AM PDT 10/11/2017 by Marisa Guthrie
The piece was originally supposed to air on the network in February as Hollywood was gearing up for the Oscars.



Why didn't NBC News break the Harvey Weinstein bombshell that ultimately ended up in The New Yorker under the byline of one of its contributors? It's a question Rachel Maddow put to Ronan Farrow — until this summer an NBC News contributor fronting a series called Undercovered — who had been working on the story for 10 months.

Farrow's piece was originally targeted to air on NBC in February, just as Hollywood was gearing up for the Oscars, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Those sources say that Farrow was working on the piece at NBC well into the summer, when he suddenly stopped coming to the office. His contributor contract with NBC News expired over the summer and he was in the midst of negotiating a new deal with the network.

Multiple sources say that Farrow had secured an on-camera interview with Rose McGowan, whom The New York Timesrevealed as one of the many women to whom Weinstein paid settlements. The Times reported that McGowan received $100,000 in 1997, when she was 23, stemming from "an episode in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival."


But after she had sat for the interview, her lawyer contacted Farrow and NBC to revoke consent because it could put her in legal jeopardy given the terms of her settlement agreement, sources with knowledge of the situation tell THR.

Weinstein has a phalanx of high-priced lawyers. And he has threatened to sue the Times for its Oct. 5 story detailing lurid harassment claims and eight settlements paid over many years. During Tuesday's MSNBC interview, Farrow revealed that he, too, was "threatened with a lawsuit personally by Mr. Weinstein."

Two sources told THR that Weinstein's legal team attempted to block Farrow from taking material that he gathered at NBC News to The New Yorker. Sallie Hofmeister, Weinstein's representative, did not immediately return a request for comment.

On Tuesday night, echoing the company line on her MSNBC program, Maddow, said to Farrow: "NBC says that the story wasn't publishable, that it wasn't ready to go at the time that you brought it to them."

Farrow was unequivocal: "I walked into the door at The New Yorker with an explosively reportable piece that should have been public earlier. And immediately, obviously, The New Yorker recognized that. And it is not accurate to say that it was not reportable. In fact, there were multiple determinations that it was reportable at NBC."

One source inside NBC News described the exchange on The Rachel Maddow Show as "jaw-dropping." Multiple sources say that Farrow had convinced several victims, most of them former employees, to tell their stories. And while several of them would do so only anonymously — they consented to on-camera interviews with their identities disguised — there were two victims willing to go on the record with stories of harassment at the hands of the powerful Hollywood mogul.

Additionally, Farrow and his NBC News producers have had an audio recording of a 2015 sting conducted by the NYPD Special Victims Division since July, said multiple sources. Portions of the audio — which stemmed from the investigation into charges made by model and actress Ambra Battilana Gutierrez — were released with the New Yorker story and have been played incessantly as major media outlets have picked up Farrow's reporting.

Multiple sources told THR that Farrow's reporting was reviewed by NBC News' legal department and that Kim Harris, who as lead counsel for NBCUniversal reports to CEO Steve Burke, was also reviewing the material.

But NBC News executives have strenuously — and until now, privately — pushed back on the narrative that they spiked the story. One NBC News source stressed that Farrow's "early reporting" did not "meet the standard to go forward with a story," and that it was "nowhere close to what ultimately ran in The New York Times or The New Yorker — for example, at the time, he didn't have one accuser willing to go on the record or identify themselves."

The source continued: "The story he published is radically different than what he brought to NBC News."

In a town hall meeting with employees on Wednesday, NBC News president Noah Oppenheim addressed the issue of why the news outlet didn't publish Farrow's story. Oppenheim's remarks to staff are below.

One of the consequences of choosing, as a news organization, to invest and lean into investigation journalism, is that we are going to oftentimes chase and touch upon stories that we are unfortunately not the ones who end up breaking. So, on that note, I wanted to come up here and proactively address some of the noise that has been circulating regarding Ronan Farrow's great Harvey Weinstein scoop. Because, it would pain all of us who were involved in that, and involved in investigations, if anyone at this organization thought there was anything to be ashamed of in that decision-making process. In fact, quite the contrary. Ronan, who was not working for us exclusively, began reporting on that story for NBC.

We are proud of that. We launched him on that story, we encouraged him to report that story. We supported him and gave him resources to report that story over many, many months. The notion that we would try to cover for a powerful person is deeply offensive to all of us. Like pretty much every newspaper and magazine in L.A. and New York, The New York Times up until last week, New York Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, you name it, we were on that long list of places that chased this thing, tried to nail it but weren't ultimately the ones who broke it. We reached a point over the summer where as an organization, we didn't feel that we had all the elements that we needed to air it.

Ronan very understandably wanted to keep forging ahead, so, we didn't want to stand in his way and he took it to The New Yorker and did a ton more extraordinary work. He greatly expanded the scope of his reporting. Suffice to say, the stunning story, the incredible story that we all read yesterday, was not the story that we were looking at when we made our judgment several months ago. But we couldn't be prouder of him, and I think all you need to know about our feeling about the importance of the story is that we have been putting him on our air throughout the day yesterday, and this morning, ever since. And booking accusers and covering the story really aggressively.

So, what I would say is that we are going to keep digging, we are going to keep pursuing these stories, we are not always going to be the ones that get it to the finish line, but I think more often than not, we will be. And I think we should all be proud of being an organization that is at least in the hunt on these things. So, thank you.
