Kate Winslet has called the allegations surrounding the film producer Harvey Weinstein “deeply shocking” and has admitted to having heard similar accounts during her time in Hollywood, but having hoped they were without foundation.
Weinstein was fired by the directors of the Weinstein Company on Sunday after they said new information about his “misconduct” had emerged.
“The way Harvey Weinstein has treated these vulnerable, talented young women is not the way women should ever, ever deem to be acceptable or commonplace in any workplace.”
“I have no doubt that for these women this time has been, and continues to be extremely traumatic,” added Winslet.
