Producer Accuses Bob Weinstein Of Sexual Harassment

LOS ANGELES, CA — On the same day Harvey Weinstein resigned from the board of The Weinstein Company over sexual harassment and assault allegations, his brother and company co-founder, Bob Weinstein, was accused Tuesday of harassment by a female television producer.

Amanda Segel, an executive producer of the Spike TV series "Mist," told Variety that Bob Weinstein repeatedly made romantic advances toward her for about three months beginning in the summer of last year.

"'No' should be enough," Segel told Variety. "After 'no,' anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn't want a friendship. He wanted more than that. My hope is that 'no' is enough from now on."

Segel said Bob Weinstein continued to proposition her until her lawyer, David Fox, told Weinstein Company executives — including COO David Glasser — she would leave the show if he did not stop.

A representative for Bob Weinstein, 62, issued a statement to Variety denying any inappropriate behavior.

"Bob Weinstein had dinner with Ms. Segel in L.A. in June 2016," the statement read. "He denies any claims that he behaved inappropriately at or after the dinner. It is most unfortunate that any such claim has been made."

A Weinstein Company representative also denied that Glasser was contacted by Segel's lawyer.

In an interview last week with The Hollywood Reporter, Bob Weinstein condemned the actions of his brother, who has been accused by dozens of women of sexual harassment and by at least three of sexual assault.

"I actually was quite aware that Harvey was philandering with every woman he could meet," he said. "I was sick and disgusted by his actions. But that's the extent of what (I knew). I said, 'Harvey, you're just cheating. Why do you constantly cheat?' I could see it. But I wasn't in the room with him.

"For me, I thought he was literally just going out there cheating in a pervasive way. It wasn't like he even had a mistress. It was one after another and that I was aware of. But as far as being in a room and hearing the description in The New York Times? No way. No (expletive) way was I aware that that was the type of predator that he was. And the way he convinced people to do things? I thought they were all consensual situations."
