Movie mogul HARVEY WEINSTEIN is taking a leave of absence from The Weinstein Company following the publication of a New York Times article depicting the film producer as a sexual harasser.

Weinstein issued an apology for his past behaviour after the allegations of decades of inappropriate sexual advances broke on Thursday (05Oct17).

In a statement to the Times, he wrote: "I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different. That was the culture then. I have since learned it’s not an excuse, in the office - or out of it. To anyone.

"I realized some time ago that I needed to be a better person and my interactions with the people I work with have changed. I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I’m trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go."

He added: "Jay Z wrote in 4:44 'I’m not the man I thought I was and I better be that man for my children'. The same is true for me. I want a second chance in the community but I know I’ve got work to do to earn it. I have goals that are now priorities. Trust me, this isn’t an overnight process. I’ve been trying to do this for 10 years and this is a wake-up call. I cannot be more remorseful about the people I hurt and I plan to do right by all of them."

The producer also revealed he has hired therapists to deal with his issues, adding, "My journey now will be to learn about myself and conquer my demons."

The journalists behind the Times report alleged Weinstein had quietly settled with at least eight women, who made allegations of sexual misconduct. His lawyer Lisa Bloom has denied many of the accusations in the article, calling them "patently false".

Among the accusers he allegedly settled with are an unnamed actress and an unidentified Italian model.

(Cover) - DE Showbiz - Eine ehemalige Schauspielerin hat sich zu Wort gemeldet, um ihre schockierende Erfahrung mit Harvey Weinstein (65) mit der Öffentlichkeit zu teilen.

Immer mehr Frauen erheben schwere Vorwürfe gegen den Filmproduzenten, nachdem in einem Exposé der 'New York Times' der sexuelle Missbrauch, den er jahrzehntelang betrieben haben soll, aufgedeckt wurde. Jetzt berichtete auch eine Frau namens Heather Kerr von ihrem Erlebnis mit Weinstein. Das ereignete sich 1989, als sie in ihren Zwanzigern steckte und vor der Kamera erfolgreich werden wollte. Statt mit ihr über Filmrollen zu reden, nötigte der Produzent sie bei einem Meeting in Hollywood allerdings, seinen Penis zu berühren.

"Er hatte dieses schmierige Grinsen im Gesicht", erinnerte sich Kerr am Freitag [20. Oktober] im Rahmen einer Pressekonferenz in Los Angeles. "Weil er auf dem Sofa schon so dicht neben mir saß, bekam ich ein schlechtes Gefühl in der Magengegend. Dann öffnete er plötzlich den Reißverschluss seiner Hose und zog seinen Penis raus."

Schockiert hätte sie nicht gewusst, wie sie reagieren sollte. "Mein Herz fing an zu klopfen, meine Gedanken rasten. Wie soll ich damit umgehen? Wie komme ich aus der Situation raus?", fragte sich die angehende Schauspielerin damals. "Dann packte er meine Hand und zog mich zu ihm und zwang mich, seinen Penis zu berühren, und hielt meine Hand dort. Ich war erstarrt vor Angst, versuchte ruhig zu bleiben und nicht auszuflippen. Schließlich war sonst niemand im Büro."

Wie Kerr weiter enthüllte, hätte Weinstein ihr damals gesagt: "So läuft das in Hollywood." Daraufhin hätte sie der Schauspielerei den Rücken gekehrt. "Ich fühlte mich so machtlos, schließlich ist er sehr mächtig und sehr bekannt... und sehr erfolgreich. Ich dachte nicht, dass mir irgendwer glauben würde. Ich war ein Niemand. Warum hätte mir jemand glauben sollen?", so Heather Kerr.

Gegen Harvey Weinstein ermitteln inzwischen die Behörden in Los Angeles und in Großbritannien.
