Will USC Accept Harvey Weinstein's Women's Program Donation?

[oberliner]

The embattled mogul has said he’d previously pledged $5 million to the world’s top film school.

Harvey Weinstein’s response Thursday to the New York Times’ investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against him ended by announcing: “One year ago, I began organizing a $5 million foundation to give scholarships to women directors at USC. While this might seem coincidental, it has been in the works for a year. It will be named after my mom and I won’t disappoint her.”

In a statement, USC’s School of Cinematic Arts confirmed that it “began discussions with Mr. Weinstein over a year ago to fund a $5M endowment in his mother’s honor dedicated to scholarships for women filmmakers, particularly those from minority communities.” It added that “this endowment was pledged.”

Asked by The Hollywood Reporter whether, in light of the claims, the world’s most prestigious film school would continue in its relationship with Weinstein, USC declined to respond.

1. Maybe he could spend all that money reviving the people's

careers he destroyed 'cause he didn't realize he was flying into rages and destroying careers. He didn't realize he was a sexual predator, bit now? Now he is so, so sorry. Now that he has been caught, like all the other asshole guys that get caught, are suddenly so, so contrite.

Well Harvey fuck you. And fuck all of you guys that destroy peoples lives because you can. Just because you can't control you 'urges', fucking get over yourself, you are not that special, none of you are. Now you are trying to pay women off once again buy trying to get into their good graces by giving money to USC and USC will take the money and Weinstein won't help ANY of those women from that school. NONE of them. So fuck you Harvey and all you Harveys out there.

2. Amen

And well said.

There are, unfortunately, so many out there.

There was a twitter thread "#MyHarveyWeinstein" where women shared their personal stories.
