The Harvey Weinstein Company

The Weinstein Company was a major film and television studio founded in 2005 by Harvey and Bob Weinstein. It produced and distributed popular movies like "The King's Speech" and "Silver Linings Playbook." However, in 2017, numerous allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against Harvey Weinstein, leading to legal actions and the company's decline. The scandal significantly impacted Hollywood’s industry standards and brought attention to issues of workplace harassment. The Weinstein Company eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2018, and its assets were sold or restructured. The case highlights the importance of accountability and transparency within the entertainment industry.
