Rebukes rain down on Weinstein even as company holds firm

NEW YORK (AP) – The chorus of Hollywood stars denouncing Harvey Weinstein echoed across the Atlantic a week after sexual assault and harassment accusations broke, and his brother said it was business as usual at the production company that bears both their names.

Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Co., issued a statement Friday saying the company wasn’t shutting down or exploring a sale.

Public pressure continued to increase on Harvey Weinstein, with Oscar-winners and former Weinstein colleagues Emma Thompson and Quentin Tarantino airing their displeasure, and more actresses coming forward to describe harrowing hotel encounters with the movie mogul.
