NOW TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDAL INVOLVING
HARVEY WEINSTEIN, NBC NEWS CONFIRMED THROUGH A SOURCE AND A
POSITION TO KNOW THAT ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER OF THE WEINSTEIN
COMPANY, RICHARD KOENIGSBERG RESIGNED.
THREE MEMBERS REMAIN, THEY ARE REPORTING THE CONTRACT OF THE
WEINSTEIN COMPANY MAY HAVE INCLUDED A STIP LAKES THAT AS
LONG AS HE REIMBURSED THE COMPANY FOR SETTLEMENTS RELATED
TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUITS, HE WOULD BE IN THE CLEAR AND
PROTECTED FROM FIRING. LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SERVE TO PROFIT FROM HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S
SEXUAL ABUSE CLAIMS, BECAUSE HE WOULD PAY THEM EVERY TIME.
HE WOULD REIMBURSE THE COMPANY EVERY TIME.
HE GOT CAUGHT DOI DOING THIS. >> I THINK WHAT THAT MEANT WAS
THE COMPANY WOULD PAY TO REVERSE.
BASICALLY, THEY'RE SAYING, IT'S OKAY IF IT'S HAPPENING.
>> THEY KNEW. >> THEY WOULD ALSO FINE HIM PER
INCIDENT, UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS PER INCIDENT.
SO THEY PROFITED OFF IT. THIS COMES AS POLICE IN NEW YORK
CITY AND LONDON ARE TAKING A LOOK AT PAST SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
ACTRESS KATE BECKINSALE HAS COME FORWARD TO TELL HER OWN STORY.
SHE SAYS SHE WAS CALLED TO MEET HARVEY WEINSTEIN WHEN SHE WAS
17. >> SAY THAT AGAIN.
>> 17, A GREAT ACTRESS. WHEN SHE ARRIVED IN HIS ROOM,
SHE SAYS HE OPENED THE DOOR IN A BATH ROM ROBE.
SHE WROTE --
. >> THAT IS HORRIFIC.
>> MEANWHILE, JANE FONDA IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN LEARNING
ABOUT WEINSTEIN'S ALLEGED BEHAVIOR AROUND SAYS SHE REGRETS
NOT SPEAKING UP SOONER. >> I FOUND OUT ABOUT HARVEY
ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I'M ASHAMED I DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING RIGHT THERE. >> WHY DIDN'T YOU?
ARE YOU SO BOLD. >> I WAS FOUGHT THAT BOLD
BECAUSE I GUESS IT HADN'T HAPPENED TO ME, SO I DIDN'T FEEL
IT WAS MY PLACE. >> ON THAT NOTE, WHEN THE STORY
BROKE, IT WAS A FRIDAY. I ACTUALLY HAD GOTTEN OUT OF
MOVING WITH MY DAUGHTER UP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I DIDN'T GET
UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING TO READ THROUGH EARNING AND IMMEDIATELY
REACTED. WE WERE VERY TOUGH ON MERYL
STREEP FOR NOT SPEAKING OUT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY OR
TUESDAY. SHE ACTUALLY WAS OFF THE GRID AS
WELL. I TALKED TO HER PUBLICIST
YESTERDAY T. MINUTE SHE HEARDANT THIS, SHE WORKED ON A STATEMENT
IN REAL TIME. IT CAME OUT I THINK DURING THE
SHOW THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HER.
>> YEAH. I THINK AT 8:20, WE DO HAVE TO
GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO RESPOND. THERE ARE OTHERS THAT TOOK MUCH
LONGER TO SPEAK OUT. >> LISTEN, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE. >> TO BE FAIR.
>> IF YOU ARE OFF THE GRID, YOU ARE OFF THE GRID.
ALSO I THOUGHT MERYL STREEP HAD ONE OF THE LODGEER.
>> STATEMENTS, STRONG. >> SINCE I THINK I READ THIS
BEINGINSALE STATEMENT YESTERDAY. THERE WAS A PART WHERE SHE HAD
TOLD A MALE FRIEND. IF I GOT THIS WRONG, SHE HAD
TOLD A MALE FRIEND WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
THE MALE FRIEND HAD WARNED ANOTHER YOUNG ACTRESS, SAIDING
WHEN YOU GO, THIS GUY IS GOING TO TRY TO SEXUALLY ABUSE YOU.
WELL, THAT YOUNG WOMAN GOT INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH
HARVEY WEINSTEIN, IMMEDIATELY TOLD HIM OF THIS OTHER YOUNG
ACTOR'S WARNING, WHO PROMPTLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE
WEINSTEIN COMPANY SAYING YOU WILL NEVER --
>> HOW SICK IS THAT. >> YOU WILL NEVER WORK IF
ANOTHER OF OUR FILMS AGAIN A. GUY THAT WAS TRYING TO PROTECT A
YOUNG ACTRESS ACTUALLY PLAQUEBALLED BY WEINSTEIN
BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT THE YOUNG ACTRESS FROM SEXUAL
ASSAULT. >> WE HAVE THIS, IT'S
INTERESTING, EVERYBODY THIS SIDE OF THE TABLE, IF YOU ARE IN THE
MEDIA BUSINESS, YOU ALWAYS HEARD, STORIES LIKE THIS HARVEY,
HARVEY WITH ACTRESSES, YOU KIND OF.
I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO KIND OF WHEN YOU HEAR STUFF STUFF LIKE
MAYBE A LITTLE MORE OF A DIG. BECAUSE YOU START TO HEAR THESE
STORIES, THESE VULGAR TWISTED PRED TORE POSSIBLY EVEN --
>> SEE, LET ME JUST SAY, WE HAVE NOT HEARD THIS STORY.
>> YOU NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HE WITH ACTRESSES?
>> NO, WE HADN'T. THEN AGAIN, I'M ONLY SAYING THIS
BECAUSE WE GOT TO WORK AND, YOU KNOW, WE WORK AND WE DID GO OUT
TO BRONXVILLE TO CONNECTICUT WITH OUR KIDS, BUT PEOPLE THAT
WERE IN THE HAMPTONS WITH HIM ALL SUMMER OR PEOPLE IN
HOLLYWOOD ALL HEARD THESE GENERAL STORIES ABOUT HIM.
>> OH, HARVEY, YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT IF YOU ARE AN ACTRESS.
IT STAYS THERE UNTIL YOU KIND OF ACTUALLY SEE THIS AND HEAR THIS,
AND THE REPUGNANT DISGUSTING NATURE.
THEN YOU WONDER, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO KNOW CLOSE IN THIS INNER
CIRCLE KNEW THE DETAILS AND THE DEPTH OF IT.
THAT'S THE FRIGHTENING PART OF IT.
>> IF YOU READ, I READ AN OP-ED YESTERDAY, I FORGET WHO SAID IT.
YOU HAVE LOOK AT THE ENABLERS. WHO WERE THE ASSISTANTS THAT
WOULD GO TO HOTEL ROOMS WITH YOUNG ACTRESSES AND THEN ABANDON
THEM, TAKING IN THEM IN THERE. >> OR PARTICIPATE.
>> MAKING THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE. WHOOP ALL OF THOSE ENABLERS ALL
ALONG? WHO ARE THE ENABLERS AT THE
COMPANY? WHO ARE THE ENABLERS AT THE
STUDIOS? WHAT AGENTS KNEW THIS WAS GOING
ON, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY SAY IT.
THE YOUNG WOMAN WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE THAT WORKED WITH
WEINSTEIN ON THE BOARD, BOY, I'M SO SORRY, IF YOU WERE MY
DAUGHTER. >> THAT ITSELF NOT THE STANDARD,
IF YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER, IF YOU SEE THAT HAPPENING, YOU GRAB
SOMEBODY BY THE NECK AND TAKE THEM DOWN TO THE FRONT OFFICER.
>> THE TRULY CREEPY THING WHEN THESE STORIES COME OUT IS THE
INFRASTRUCTURE, IS THE CREEP
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT BUILDS UP AROUND THEM AND ALL OF THESE
PEOPLE WHO ARE BASICALLY WORKING IN VARIOUS WAYS, USING THEIR
SKILLS EITHER AS LAWYERS OR ASSISTANTS, WHATEVER, TO ENABLE
AND PROTECT THIS BEHAVIOR,
