Hey Friends,
This week I share my thoughts on Harvey Weinstein, his conviction in New York being overturned and what it means for survivors of Harvey and everywhere.
Harvey Weinstein is a disgraced film producer and convicted predator.
Forgive the Wikipedia of his life but I think it’s important to illustrate how high he had climbed and how powerful he was for nearly forty years.
In 1979, Weinstein and his brother, Robert co-founded the entertainment company Miramax which produced several successful independent films including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989); The Crying Game (1992); Pulp Fiction (1994); Heavenly Creatures (1994); Flirting with Disaster(1996); and Shakespeare in Love (1998). Weinstein won an Oscar for producing Shakespeare in Love and also won seven Tony Awards for plays and musicals including The Producers, Billy Elliot the Musical, and August: Osage County. After leaving Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob founded The Weinstein Company, a mini-major film studio. Harvey used both to secure a staple position for himself in Hollywood as well as lord over anyone who worked with him. It was this power he would abuse for decades that would lead to him having such a long list of victims.
Just naming a few who have bravely come forward, Harvey committed crimes against or was inappropriate with Amber Anderson, Lysette Anthony, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Barth, Kate Beckinsale, Jules Bindi, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Green as well as 75 other women.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoy please share with someone who could use a laugh and most of all thanks for being my friends.
