최고관리자  |  17-10-14 13:16

The organization that awards Oscars for best movies is deciding what to do with Harvey Weinstein. The movie producer has been accused of sexual abuse by many women, including well-known Hollywood actresses. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences runs the Academy Awards, or Oscars. In a statement, it said the accusations against Weinstein are “abhorrent." It said the meeting this weekend will decide what action it will take. The New York Times newspaper and The New Yorker magazine reported many accusations of sexual abuse against Weinstein. He produced Oscars-winning movies such as “Shakespeare in Love,” “Pulp Fiction,” and “Good Will Hunting.” Among those accusing Weinstein of sexual abuse were movie stars including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rosanna Arquette. Jolie told the New York Times that in the late 1990s, during the release of the movie, “Playing by Heart,” Weinstein made unwanted advances on her in a hotel room. Jolie said she rejected the advances. “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” Jolie told the Times.

The Times reported that Weinstein or his representatives had settled with eight women. After the Times story, Weinstein was dismissed by the board of his production company, the Weinstein Company. In the New Yorker, two actresses, Asia Argento and Lucia Evans, accused Weinstein of raping them. A third actress made the same accusation, but chose not to be identified. A spokeswoman for Weinstein said he believes all his relationships with women were “consensual,” meaning they were carried out with permission. The spokeswoman said Weinstein has begun getting professional help and “is hoping that, if he makes enough progress, he will be given a second chance.”
