Amanda Segel, showrunner and executive producer of The Mist (a Spike TV adaptation of the Stephen King story), told Variety that she had to deal with sexual harassment from Bob Weinstein, who also worked on the project. Bob is the younger brother and business partner of Harvey Weinstein.
The news, of course, comes in the wake of dozens of women coming forward with stories of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct, with allegations that range from off-color jokes and gestures to sexual assault and rape. These allegations have frequently pointed to an enforced culture of payoffs and silence within The Weinstein Company about the behavior of these men. Now, we have some evidence that Harvey wasn’t just a lone bad apple at the company.
Segel says that romantic overtures from Bob Weinstein began after a dinner meeting in June of 2016. These overtures continued long after she told him she wasn’t interested. From Variety:
