In the latest of my organizations in Hollywood looking to separate themselves from Harvey Weinstein, The Producers Guild of America voted Monday to begin the process of expelling disgraced Harvey Weinstein from its ranks.
While His expulsion is not immediately effective since the guild, following its bylaws, must go through a termination process, it is close to a sure thing he will be eliminated. PGA presidents Gary Lucchesi and Lori McCreary said in a statement,
“This morning, the PGA’s national board of directors and officers decided by unanimous vote to institute termination proceedings concerning Harvey Weinstein’s membership. As required by the PGA’s constitution, Mr. Weinstein will be given the opportunity to respond before the guild makes its final determination on Nov. 6, 2017.”
Along with the expulsion, the PGA also announced that its national board and officers have created an Anti-Sexual Harassment Task Force “specifically charged with researching and proposing substantive and effective solutions to sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.”
The Weinstein ripple effect continues to take over Hollywood.
