Graydon Carter Reveals Why Harvey Weinstein Was “Banned” For Life From ‘Vanity Fair’ Oscars Party

Although Harvey Weinstein isn’t attending any red carpet events these days, one exclusive event took him off the guest list before his fall from grace.

In his new book When the Going Was Good, former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter revealed that the disgraced producer and convicted sex offender was the one celebrity “banned” for life from the publication’s highly-coveted Oscars party.

Carter wrote in the book, which is available Tuesday, that Weinstein “regularly showed up with more guests than his invitation indicated and would bully the staff,” according to Page Six. “He got banned from everything because he was rude to the staff and I didn’t like that,” Carter told the outlet, noting that the initial ban was temporary lifted before being reinstated. “It was not from drink.

It was just within him.” Serving as editor-in-chief at the glossy from 1992 to 2017, Carter began his star-studded tradition in 1994 after the death of agent Swifty Lazar, who was known for his own Oscars bashes.
