Harvey Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein is an American former film producer and convicted sex offender. He co-founded the film production companies Miramax and the Weinstein Company. His productions have grossed over $10.78 billion worldwide, and he has won an Academy Award and eight Tony Awards. Weinstein was one of the most influential producers in Hollywood until his downfall in 2017 following multiple sexual abuse allegations. In October 2017, following sexual abuse allegations dating back to the late 1970s, Weinstein was dismissed from his company and expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. More than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment or rape against him by October 31. The allegations sparked the #MeToo social media campaign and subsequent sexual abuse allegations against many powerful figures worldwide; this phenomenon is referred to as the "Weinstein effect".
