Harvey Weinstein banned for life from the Producers Guild of America
Following series of sexual assault accusation against him, Harvey Weinstein has been banned for life from the Producers Guild of America as announced by the guild on Monday.
Though Harvey was given time to respond to the allegations made against him, however the termination proceedings of his membership in the organization began earlier this month.
The guild’s statement reads;
“In light of Mr. Weinstein’s widely reported behavior — with new reports continuing to surface even now — the Producers Guild’s National Board has voted unanimously to enact a lifetime ban on Mr. Weinstein, permanently barring him from PGA membership. This unprecedented step is a reflection of the seriousness with which the Guild regards the numerous reports of Mr. Weinstein’s decades of reprehensible conduct. “Sexual harassment can no longer be tolerated in our industry or within the ranks of Producers Guild membership. As stated previously, the PGA’s Officers and National Board of Directors have created the Anti-Sexual Harassment Task Force specifically charged with researching and proposing substantive and effective solutions to combat sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.”
