Harvey of Hollywood
Hurricane Harvey smashed against the Gulf Coast destroying cities in Texas like Rockport in late August of 2017. Meanwhile a different type of storm is brewing with the same name in L.A. Harvey Weinstein co-founder of Miramax and The Weinstein Company is accused by several women of sexual harrassment. Should we be surprised or something to be expected since MGM in the 1920's during the careers of the young Little Rascals? Harvey and his brother are responsible for the stars, movies and Broadway productions that set the standards for the modern day Tonys, Oscars and Emmy Awards.
The impact goes beyond entertainment and into political arenas.
Not only was Weinstein a major contributor to the Obama Campaign but also brought Obama's daughter Malia in as an intern at The WeinStein Company. You can only imagine the conversation between Michelle and her husband on this situation. Harvey personally contributed to the careers of actors producers and movie culture as we know it, which makes these accusations hard to swallow.
The tyrant producer Harvey Weingart in Entourage is losely based on Weinstein. As the mogul takes time off and deals with these allegations the accusors weigh the price of fame within the industry. Because of pay offs and gag orders the line between predator and prey gets more and more blurred.
Now u know and knowing is half the battle.
