Weinstein Terminated From Weinstein Company

For nearly four decades, Harvey Weinstein was the don of indie film, and a force of nature. Now he's been ousted by his own company.

In a move that would've been shocking a week ago, the mogul was terminated on Sunday as co-chairman of The Weinstein Co. after bombshell on-the-record sexual harassment allegations came to light in a New York Times report.

"In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company — Robert Weinstein, Lance Maerov, Richard Koenigsberg and Tarak Ben Ammar — have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately," read a statement from the TWC board.
