'''Harvey Weinstein''' (born March 19th, 1952) is a disgraced film producer, former film studio executive, and convicted sex offender who founded Miramax, then, later on, the Weinstein Company (now Lantern Entertainment) with his brother Bob ~~Weinstein~~. Although there were past comments alluding to his crimes, it became apparent in October 2017 that he was using his position of power to molest, rape, and stalk young actresses and his employees of Miramax and Weinstein Co. His misdeeds being brought to light actually shined a light on a deep and systemic problem in the entertainment industry involving sexual harassment and sexual assault.

==His Methods==

He would at first have meetings with young actresses, models, and even some female employees of his studios. He would promise to make their careers with at least a three-film contract. He would set up meetings. Some of his meeting venues would include his hotel rooms and one of his homes. He would invite the woman up and for the most part, the women would feel uncomfortable. Some would under pressure give in to his demands while others would refuse. In some cases, his victims would be forced to watch his showers or masturbate. After that, the woman would leave. Whether or not they actually gave in and let him rape them, they are all shaken from the horrible experience.

The Weinstein Company fired him. His wife, Georgina Chapman, left him and ~~is filing~~ for divorce. Both The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and The Producers Guild of America expelled Weinstein from their respective boards. Also, the New York City Police Department and London's Metropolitan Police Service said on October 12th that they were reviewing allegations against Weinstein. Also, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, initiated the revocation of Weinstein’s Legion of Honor award. In the UK, Labour members of parliament requested the revocation of Weinstein's Commander of the British Empire honorary title.

==Arrest==

On 24 February, he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and third-degree rape and remained in Riker's Island until 11 March 2020, when he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

==Legacy==

Even though Weinstein's actions were deplorable, it did spark a movement which actress Alyssa Milano (friend of Rose McGowan, who was one of Weinstein's many victims) started on social media sites known as #MeToo, which women and men can say they had been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted. Also, men such as actors James Van Der Beek and Terry Crews also told their own experiences of being sexually harassed. Also worldwide, others have made similar movements discussing their experiences of being sexually harassed on the job. As a result of this industry-wide scandal, many people in the film industry were outed as sexual predators. Some were even fired from their acting jobs and had TV and film deals canceled as well. Also, news anchors, like Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, and politicians like Al Franken and U.S. representative John Conyers of Michigan have been accused of harassment and assault.

Also worldwide, others have made similar movements discussing their experiences of being sexually harassed on the job. As a result of this industry-wide scandal, many people in the film industry were outed as sexual predators. Examples of the Weinstein effect are numerous, with Screen Junkies creator Andy Signore; animators John Lasseter, [[John Kricfalusi]] and [[Chris Savino]]; actors such as Kevin Spacey, Jeffrey Tambor, Dustin Hoffman, Louis C.K., and Ben Affleck; and filmmakers Brett Ratner and James Toback all being affected. In the journalism industry, allegations led to the firing of editors, publishers, executives, and hosts, including high-profile television figures such as Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin, and Matt Lauer. In politics, accusations of varying degrees of severity were made against U.S. House Representative John Conyers (D-MI) and U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-MN), both of whom resigned their seats in Congress, and Roy Moore (R-AL), who lost his 2017 bid for election to the United States Senate. Celebrity chefs Mario Batali and John Besh were also removed. Some were even fired from their acting jobs and had TV and film deals canceled as well. Also, news anchors, like Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, and politicians like Al Franken and U.S. representative John Conyers of Michigan have all been accused of harassment and assault.

In addition to expelling him from their board, the Producer's Guild of America is taking steps to form an anti-sexual harassment task force to combat sexual harassment in the industry in direct response to the deep-seated issue that the Weinstein sex scandal brought to light.
