Harvey Weinstein removed from Producers Guild of America

Following multiple sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood mogul has been officially banned from the Producers Guild of America (PGA).

Weinstein previously quit the PGA last week following the guild’s decision to begin the withdrawal process. In a statement to Deadline, the guild explained their decision.

“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 reads.

“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.”

They continue by addressing how sexual harassment “can no longer be tolerated in our industry” or among the ranks of those in the guild.

“As stated previously, the PGA’s officers and national board of directors have created the Anti-Sexual Harassment Task Force specifically charged with researching and proposing substantive and effective solutions to combat sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.”

Weinstein has been accused of sexual harassment by dozens of women, including the high-profile actors Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Kate Beckinsale. The mogul has denied the allegations.
