Another incident of Hollywood sexual abuse has come to light in the wake of Harvey Weinstein, as Amazon head Roy Price will now take a leave of absence. The studio boss reportedly harassed Man in the High Castle executive producer Isa Hackett during Comic-Con 2015, and ignored Rose McGowan’s reports of Weinstein’s assault.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released a statement calling Harvey Weinstein’s behavior “repugnant,” and has scheduled an emergency weekend meeting.
As numerous women have come forward with extensive allegations of sexual abuse and harassment suffered at the hands of Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein, many more celebrities have weighed in — some sharing their own Weinstein horror stories and near misses, while others have applauded the bravery of his victims for speaking out; all of them condemning the actions of Weinstein and men like him. Not long after Ben Affleck issued his statement on Weinstein’s deplorable behavior, the actor was hit with allegations of his own.
McGowan replaces the 'Variety' writer's Zellweger comments with male actor's names: 'In the case of MATT DAMON, it may look to a great many people like something more than an elaborate makeup job has taken place, but we can’t say for sure.'
