Nov 7, 2017  •  Post A Comment

Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein has another black eye on his resume, having been officially expelled for life from the Television Academy.

Variety quotes a statement released Monday by the TV Academy in which it says: “After a hearing today, the Television Academy’s governance has voted to expel Harvey Weinstein from the Academy for life. The Academy supports those speaking out against harassment in all forms and stands behind those who have been affected by this issue. The unfolding and widespread examples of this horrific behavior are deeply disturbing to the Academy’s leadership.”

The statement adds: “We have been in contact with leaders across the industry and share with them a deep sense of responsibility to provide clear workplace benchmarks reflecting decency and respect. As a result, we are expediting an already-begun detailed review and revision of our Television Academy membership codes of conduct. We are determined to play a role in protecting all television professionals from predatory harassment, ensuring they are able to practice their craft in a safe environment.”

The unfolding and widespread examples of this horrific behavior are deeply disturbing to the Academy’s leadership.” If that is true, why is Weinstein the only one of these harassers that have been banned for life? Who are they really standing behind?
