Harvey Weinstein Gets Banned For Life From The Producers Guild Of America

Harvey Weinstein has received a life time ban from the Producers Guild of America amid sexual harassment and assault allegations against him.

The PGA which represents film, TV and new media producers across the US, announced the decision on 30 October after its board voted unanimously to expel Weinstein.

The decision made was announced after the PGA’s board which represents TV, films, new media producers voted to expel Weinstein.

“In light of Mr Weinstein’s widely reported behaviour, with new reports continuing to surface even now, the Producers Guild’s national board has voted unanimously to enact a lifetime ban on Mr Weinstein, permanently barring him from PGA membership,” the statement said. “This unprecedented step is a reflection of the seriousness with which the guild regards the numerous reports of Mr Weinstein’s decades of reprehensible conduct. Sexual harassment can no longer be tolerated in our industry or within the ranks of Producers Guild membership.”

Furthermore, the PGA said Weinstein decided to resign from the guild rather than plead his case before a final verdict.
