The Weinstein Company and Amazon Studios are parting ways with their high-profile leaders following accusations of sexual misconduct.
The board of The Weinstein Company confirmed on Tuesday that co-founder Harvey Weinstein has resigned. This news follows Harvey Weinstein's termination from the company.
As of Tuesday afternoon, at least 43 women had accused the film mogul of sexual harassment or assault.
And after one report of alleged sexual harassment, Roy Price — former head of Amazon Studios — reportedly resigned on Tuesday as well. Amazon suspended him just last week.
Now, Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein's brother and the current co-chairman of The Weinstein Company, has also been accused of sexual harassment. Representatives told Variety that Bob Weinstein denies the accusation, but that denial may not be enough to help his company.
Earlier this month, news outlets reported The Weinstein Company would change its name.
