It’s difficult to ascertain if this was an isolated event for the younger brother of disgraced former Weinstein Co. executive Harvey Weinstein, who formally resigned from the board today.
As the number of women accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault and rape continues to grow, his brother Bob has picked up an allegation of his own: Amanda Segel, a showrunner and executive producer on The Mist, has accused Bob Weinstein of sexual harassment while in production on the now-defunct Spike TV series.
Similarly, a Weinstein Co. rep denies that COO David Glasser was ever contacted by a lawyer for Segel.
It’s even more difficult when considering a recent tweet from Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson, who called Bob Weinstein a “liar” and “literally the worst person I’ve known in my lifetime.”
