The Weinstein Co. Board Convenes Amid Harvey Weinstein Sexual Harassment Allegations
Just hours after The New York Times bombshell Thursday report that detailed numerous allegations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein, the board of The Weinstein Company is meeting at 5 PM PT to discuss the fate of its co-chairman Weinstein, who has been the face of the company since its launch.
Weinstein already had taken a leave of absence from the company in anticipation of the damaging report, but the urgency with which a new emergency board meeting was called on the very day the story came out indicates that the temporary leave — as well as Weinstein’s lengthy apology — won’t be enough.
