Harvey Weinstein CBE (born March 19, 1952) is an American former film producer. He and his brother Bob Weinstein co-founded the entertainment company Miramax, which produced several successful independent films, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Heavenly Creatures (1994), Flirting with Disaster (1996), and Shakespeare in Love (1998).
Weinstein won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare in Love, and garnered seven Tony Awards for a variety of plays and musicals, including The Producers, Billy Elliot the Musical, and August: Osage County. After leaving Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob founded The Weinstein Company, a mini-major film studio. He was co-chairman, alongside Bob, from 2005 to 2017.
Harvey Weinstein once wrote an email to a reporter that contained the phrase “Jen Aniston should be killed.” Apparently, in an email on October 31, 2017, Weinstein was asked about an allegation that ended up being fake with regard to Jennifer Aniston.
In 2017, the National Enquirer intended to write a story about the false allegation (which was confirmed to be fake news by Jennifer‘s rep). “The National Enquirer intends to publish a story reporting Jennifer Aniston was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein,” the email read.
In response to this is when Weinstein allegedly said she should be killed, Variety reports. Jennifer‘s rep did clear up, “The National Enquirer claims are false. Jennifer has not been harassed or assaulted by Harvey.”
