Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases#Background

Harvey Weinstein and his brother, Bob Weinstein, formed the film production company Miramax and led the company from 1979 to 2005.{{Cite news |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/2003/04/max-weinstein-200304 |title=All Thanks to Max |last=Weinstein |first=Bob |date=April 2003 |work=Vanity Fair |access-date=October 12, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205093233/http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/2003/04/max-weinstein-200304 |archive-date=December 5, 2014 }} That company was purchased by The Walt Disney Company in June 1993,{{Cite web|date=July 30, 2010|title=Disney sells Miramax film studios|language=en-GB|website=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10814344|access-date=September 6, 2022|archive-date=September 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220905071852/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10814344|url-status=live}} though the Weinsteins continued to run the company until September 2005, when they left the company{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2005/mar/31/media.film|title=Disney gets Miramax, Weinsteins get £75m|newspaper=The Guardian|author=Martinson, Jane|language=en-GB|url-status=live|date=March 30, 2005|access-date=September 5, 2022|archivedate=September 18, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140918013850/https://www.theguardian.com/business/2005/mar/31/media.film}} to run The Weinstein Company (TWC),{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/10/12/weinstein-company-can-kiss-its-oscar-prospects-goodbye/|title=The Weinstein Company Can Kiss Its Oscar Prospects Goodbye |last=Cain |first=Rob |work=Forbes |date=October 12, 2017 |access-date=October 12, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012210845/https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/10/12/weinstein-company-can-kiss-its-oscar-prospects-goodbye/ |archive-date=October 12, 2017 }} which they had founded in March.{{Cite news |url=https://www.indiewire.com/2005/03/weinsteins-leaving-miramax-will-form-new-company-brothers-taking-dimension-label-leaving-all-fil-78326/ |title=Weinstein's Leaving Miramax, Will Form New Company; Brothers Taking Dimension Label, Leaving All Film Libraries at Disney |last=Hernandez |first=Eugene |date=March 30, 2005 |publisher=IndieWire |access-date=October 12, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013120422/http://www.indiewire.com/2005/03/weinsteins-leaving-miramax-will-form-new-company-brothers-taking-dimension-label-leaving-all-fil-78326/ |archive-date=October 13, 2017 }}

Rumors of Harvey Weinstein's "casting couch" practices (soliciting sexual favors from a job applicant in exchange for employment) circulated in Hollywood for years, and entertainment figures at times alluded to them. As early as 1998, Gwyneth Paltrow said on Late Show with David Letterman that Weinstein "will coerce you to do a thing or two".{{cite news|last1=Britzky|first1=Haley|title=The hints of Weinstein's behavior that went ignored|url=https://www.axios.com/the-previous-hints-of-harvey-weinsteins-behavior-2495642089.html|access-date=October 14, 2017|work=Axios|date=October 14, 2017|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015044150/https://www.axios.com/the-previous-hints-of-harvey-weinsteins-behavior-2495642089.html|archive-date=October 15, 2017}} In 2005, Courtney Love advised young actresses in an interview, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go."{{cite news |work=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/15/courtney-love-warned-actresses-harvey-weinstein-2005/ |title=Courtney Love warned actresses about Harvey Weinstein in 2005 |date=October 15, 2017 |access-date=October 15, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015062849/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/15/courtney-love-warned-actresses-harvey-weinstein-2005/ |archive-date=October 15, 2017 }} In 2010, an article titled "Harvey's Girls"{{cite news |last1=Enlow |first1=Courtney |title=Harvey's Girls |url=http://www.pajiba.com/think_pieces/harveys-girls-the-wouldbe-ingenues-where-are-they-now-and-what-happened-then.php |access-date=October 14, 2017 |publisher=Pajiba |date=December 21, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904185344/http://www.pajiba.com/think_pieces/harveys-girls-the-wouldbe-ingenues-where-are-they-now-and-what-happened-then.php |archive-date=September 4, 2017 }} for Pajiba alluded to Weinstein's "casting couch" reputation: "Every few years, Harvey picks a new girl as his pet." In 2012, a character on the TV series 30 Rock said: "I'm not afraid of anyone in show business: I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions – out of five." While announcing the 2013 nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award, Seth MacFarlane joked: "Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein." After the allegations were published, director Quentin Tarantino said that he had known about Weinstein harassing actresses for decades, and had confronted him about it.{{cite news|last1=Kantor|first1=Jodi|title=Tarantino on Weinstein: 'I Knew Enough to Do More Than I Did'|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/movies/tarantino-weinstein.html|access-date=November 4, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=October 19, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171102013159/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/movies/tarantino-weinstein.html|archive-date=November 2, 2017}} Ivana Lowell wrote in her book Why Not Say What Happened?, published in 2010, about misbehavior by Weinstein when she worked for the books division of Miramax. The incidents described were in her office when she was alone with Harvey Weinstein, and in her home when a female friend of hers was present. She wrote that she "knew about Harvey's reputation as a womanizer; tales of his trying to seduce every young actress in town were infamous".{{cite book|last1=Lowell|first1=Ivana|title=Why Not Say What Happened?: A Memoir|date=2010|publisher=Bloomsbury|location=London|isbn=9780747595069|pages=113–116}}

Journalists wrote or attempted to write about Weinstein's alleged behavior. David Carr found that no one allegedly assaulted by Weinstein would speak on the record; Ken Auletta and his editors decided he could not mention an assault allegation without cooperation from the victim.{{cite news|last1=Twohey|first1=Megan|last2=Kantor|first2=Jodi|last3=Dominus|first3=Susan|last4=Rutenberg|first4=Jim|last5=Eder|first5=Steve|title=Weinstein's Complicity Machine|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/05/us/harvey-weinstein-complicity.html|access-date=December 6, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=December 5, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171206003245/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/05/us/harvey-weinstein-complicity.html|archive-date=December 6, 2017}} In 2015, Jordan Sargent wrote in his Gawker article "Tell Us What You Know About Harvey Weinstein's 'Open Secret'"{{cite news |last1=Sargent |first1=Jordan |title=Tell Us What You Know About Harvey Weinstein's "Open Secret" |url=http://defamer.gawker.com/tell-us-what-you-know-about-harvey-weinsteins-open-sec-1695071092 |access-date=October 14, 2017 |publisher=Gawker |date=February 4, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171016224720/http://defamer.gawker.com/tell-us-what-you-know-about-harvey-weinsteins-open-sec-1695071092 |archive-date=October 16, 2017 }} that "rumors of the powerful producer leveraging his industry power for sexual satisfaction—consensual or otherwise—have tended to remain unaired, confined to hushed conversation and seedier gossip-blog comment threads." The New York Times later wrote that Weinstein had built a "wall of invulnerability", in part through his support of leading Democratic politicians. He boasted being friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. The Clintons continued longstanding close relationships with him despite alleged warnings about Weinstein to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign from Lena Dunham and Tina Brown.

In 2015, The New York Times reported that Weinstein was questioned by police "after a 22-year-old woman accused him of touching her inappropriately".{{cite news |last1=Santora |first1=Marc |last2=Baker |first2=Al |title=Harvey Weinstein, Producer, Questioned by New York Police After Groping Accusation |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-producer-questioned-by-new-york-police-after-groping-accusation.html |access-date=October 14, 2017 |work=The New York Times |date=March 30, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014233641/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-producer-questioned-by-new-york-police-after-groping-accusation.html |archive-date=October 14, 2017 }} The woman, Italian model Ambra Gutierrez, cooperated with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to obtain an audio recording where Weinstein admitted to having inappropriately touched her.{{cite magazine|last1=Gersen|first1=Jeannie Suk|title=Why Didn't the Manhattan D.A.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. decided not to file charges against Weinstein, citing insufficient evidence of criminal intent, against the advice of local police who considered the evidence sufficient.{{cite news |last=Connor |first=Tracy |date=October 11, 2017 |title=NYPD, Prosecutors Point Fingers Over Harvey Weinstein Probe |publisher=NBC News |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/harvey-weinstein-scandal/nypd-prosecutors-point-fingers-over-harvey-weinstein-probe-n809756 |url-status=live |access-date=November 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171109084723/https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/harvey-weinstein-scandal/nypd-prosecutors-point-fingers-over-harvey-weinstein-probe-n809756 |archive-date=November 9, 2017}} The New York district attorney's office and the NYPD blamed each other for failing to bring charges.

In July 2018, after many allegations and criminal charges of sexual misconduct, Greek journalist Taki Theodoracopulos said to The Spectator that his friend Weinstein told him in an interview, "Yes, I did offer them [girls] acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does everyone."{{cite news |last1=Theodoracopulos |first1=Taki |title=Harvey Weinstein: 'I offered acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so does everyone – they still do' |url=https://usa.spectator.co.uk/2018/07/harvey-weinstein-i-offered-acting-jobs-in-exchange-for-sex-but-so-does-everyone-they-still-do/ |access-date=July 14, 2018 |work=Spectator USA |date=July 13, 2018 |archive-date=July 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180714023142/https://usa.spectator.co.uk/2018/07/harvey-weinstein-i-offered-acting-jobs-in-exchange-for-sex-but-so-does-everyone-they-still-do/ |url-status=dead }} Weinstein's lawyer later said he had been present, and Weinstein did not make that statement.

Substantial allegations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein were first reported by The New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey on October 5, 2017. The story accused Weinstein of three decades of sexually harassing and paying eight settlements to actresses and female production assistants, temps, and other employees who worked at Miramax and TWC.{{cite news |title=Allegations of sexual abuse have ended Harvey Weinstein's career |url=https://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21730239-will-they-now-force-wider-reckoning-hollywood-allegations-sexual-abuse-have-ended |newspaper=The Economist |access-date=October 14, 2017 |language=en |date=October 14, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013212658/https://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21730239-will-they-now-force-wider-reckoning-hollywood-allegations-sexual-abuse-have-ended |archive-date=October 13, 2017 }}{{cite news |last1=Kantor |first1=Jodi |last2=Twohey |first2=Megan |title=Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=October 14, 2017 |date=October 5, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014011811/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html |archive-date=October 14, 2017 }} The investigation, which came on the heels of a successful exposé of Bill O'Reilly by The New York Times, had taken roughly five months.{{cite book |last1=Kantor |first1=Jodi |last2=Twohey |first2=Megan |title=She said : breaking the sexual harassment story that helped ignite a movement |date=2019 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0525560340}}

Five days later, on October 10, longtime NBC News correspondent Ronan Farrow reported in The New Yorker further allegations that Weinstein had sexually assaulted or harassed thirteen women and raped three.{{cite magazine |last=Farrow |first=Ronan |url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories |title=From Aggressive Overtures to Sexual Assault: Harvey Weinstein's Accusers Tell Their Stories |magazine=The New Yorker |date=October 10, 2017 |access-date=October 10, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171010151730/https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories |archive-date=October 10, 2017 }} Farrow said he had wanted to break the story months earlier with NBC, but implied the network was under pressure not to publish,{{cite web|last1=de Moraes|first1=Lisa |title=Ronan Farrow To Rachel Maddow: Ask NBC Why My Harvey Weinstein Report Did Not Break On Its Air|url=https://deadline.com/2017/10/ronan-farrow-harvey-weinstein-rachel-maddow-new-yorker-nbc-news-1202186126|website=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=October 18, 2017|date=October 11, 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020215113/http://deadline.com/2017/10/ronan-farrow-harvey-weinstein-rachel-maddow-new-yorker-nbc-news-1202186126/|archive-date=October 20, 2017}} which NBC denied.{{cite news |last1=Koblin |first1=John |title=How Did NBC Miss Out on a Harvey Weinstein Exposé? |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/business/media/nbc-news-harvey-weinstein.html |access-date=October 12, 2017 |work=The New York Times |date=October 11, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012021005/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/business/media/nbc-news-harvey-weinstein.html |archive-date=October 12, 2017 }} According to Farrow, 16 former or current executives and assistants connected with Weinstein said they had witnessed or had been informed of Weinstein's non-consensual sexual advances to women. Four actresses relayed their suspicion that, after rejecting Weinstein's advances and complaining about him, he had them removed from projects or persuaded others to remove them. A number of Farrow's sources said Weinstein had referred to his success in planting stories in the media about individuals who had crossed him. The New Yorker also published the 2015 audio recording in which Weinstein admits to groping Gutierrez.

In November 2017, Farrow reported that Weinstein had, through the lawyer David Boies, employed private intelligence agencies Kroll and Black Cube and private investigator Jack Palladino to spy on and influence Weinstein's alleged victims as well as Kantor, Twohey, Farrow and other reporters who were investigating Weinstein. He took these actions, according to Farrow, to prevent his sexual conduct from becoming public.{{cite magazine|last1=Farrow|first1=Ronan|author-link1=Ronan Farrow|title=Harvey Weinstein's Army of Spies|url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/harvey-weinsteins-army-of-spies|access-date=November 7, 2017|magazine=The New Yorker|date=November 6, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107004330/https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/harvey-weinsteins-army-of-spies|archive-date=November 7, 2017}}{{cite news|last1=Rutenberg|first1=Jim|author-link1=Jim Rutenberg|title=Report Details Weinstein's Covert Attempt to Halt Publication of Accusations|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/us/harvey-weinstein-new-yorker.html|access-date=November 8, 2017|work=The New York Times|date=November 7, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171108003242/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/us/harvey-weinstein-new-yorker.html|archive-date=November 8, 2017}}

Since the initial reporting in 2017, over 80 women accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault or rape. In November 2017, a group of the alleged victims, led by Italian actress Asia Argento, released a list of over 100 alleged instances of sexual abuse by Weinstein.{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1Z95WVLLbh6M1U_Ch4vbfKuJtUmznu-ZgM9yHFBJl68I/htmlview|title=List|last1=Asia Argento|website=docs.google.com|access-date=November 8, 2017|display-authors=etal|archive-date=March 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200322110116/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1Z95WVLLbh6M1U_Ch4vbfKuJtUmznu-ZgM9yHFBJl68I/htmlview|url-status=dead}}{{cite news |last1=Levin |first1=Sam |title='Stand united': Weinstein accusers join forces to publish list of allegations |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/nov/07/harvey-weinstein-sexual-abuse-accusers-list |access-date=November 8, 2017 |work=The Guardian |date=November 7, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107234627/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/nov/07/harvey-weinstein-sexual-abuse-accusers-list |archive-date=November 7, 2017 }} The incidents in the list date from 1980 to 2015 and include eighteen allegations of rape.

According to the women's reports, Weinstein invited young actresses or models into a hotel room or office on the pretext of discussing their career, and then he demanded massages or sex. He told them that complying with his demands would help their careers and repeatedly used Gwyneth Paltrow as an example, telling them that she had had sex with him, unbeknownst to the actress. Paltrow had rebuffed his propositions, but he told multiple young actresses that she had slept with him as a "weapon" to pressure them into complying with his demands.

Former colleagues and collaborators of Weinstein told reporters that these activities were enabled by employees, associates and agents who set up these meetings, as well as lawyers and publicists who suppressed complaints with payments and threats.{{cite news|last1=Levin|first1=Sam|last2=Carroll|first2=Rory|title='Pack of hyenas': how Harvey Weinstein's power fueled a culture of enablers|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/13/harvey-weinstein-allegations-hollywood-enablers|access-date=October 13, 2017|work=The Guardian|date=October 13, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013114250/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/13/harvey-weinstein-allegations-hollywood-enablers|archive-date=October 13, 2017}} Bob Weinstein, for example, was allegedly involved in three settlements with accusers, the first in 1990. One Miramax executive reported being harassed by Weinstein after being promoted and praised by him; she and other employees allegedly found that the HR department protected Weinstein more than they did his employees.

On May 29 and July 9, 2024, Weinstein returned to a New York courthouse, where he was told that he could face charges related to additional sex abuse allegations. During the July 9, 2024 court appearance, it was revealed that prosecutors were investigating whether or not to bring additional criminal charges against Weinstein for other sex abuse allegations. However, despite the ongoing investigation, no new indictment was immediately made against Weinstein.

Weinstein has sexually assaulted at least three women. He was convicted in 2020 of raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann and sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, a production assistant.{{cite web|last1=Strause|first1=Jackie|title=Harvey Weinstein Accuser Says He "Orally Forced Himself on Me"|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/harvey-weinstein-accuser-says-he-orally-forced-himself-me-i-was-my-period-1051497|website=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=October 24, 2017|language=en|date=October 24, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171024232235/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/harvey-weinstein-accuser-says-he-orally-forced-himself-me-i-was-my-period-1051497|archive-date=October 24, 2017}} In 2022, he was convicted of raping and sexually assaulting an unnamed woman who later revealed herself to be Evgeniya Chernyshova, a model and actor living in Italy.{{Cite web |date=2023-02-24 |title=Woman whose testimony led to Harvey Weinstein's L.A. rape conviction reveals identity |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-02-24/harvey-weinstein-jane-doe-rape-evgeniya-chernyshova |access-date=2024-03-28 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}

{{blockquote|Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.

Mr. Weinstein has begun counseling, has listened to the community and is pursuing a better path. Mr. Weinstein is hoping that if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance.}}

Compounded by other sexual harassment cases earlier in the year, the Weinstein reports and the subsequent "#MeToo" hashtag campaign, which encouraged individuals to share their suppressed stories of sexual misconduct, created a cavalcade of allegations across multiple industries that brought about the swift ousting of many men in positions of power both in the United States and, as it spread, around the world.{{r|Cook/Simons|USA Today 2017-10-25}} On October 15, 2017, deceased actress Misty Upham's father, Charles Upham, went public with allegations that his daughter was raped by a member of Weinstein's production team at the same Golden Globes ceremony where she was honored for her work on one of Weinstein's films, and that other members of Weinstein's team had not only witnessed the rape but had cheered the rapist.{{cite web|title=Misty Upham Raped at 2013 Golden Globes?|url=https://www.hollywoodlanews.com/misty-upham-raped-2013-golden-globes/|work=Hollywood LA News|date=November 10, 2017|access-date=November 14, 2017|quote=My daughter, Misty Upham, was a victim of rape by a Weinstein Executive in 2013 at the Golden Globe Awards.|archive-date=January 12, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112073115/https://www.hollywoodlanews.com/misty-upham-raped-2013-golden-globes/|url-status=live}}
