Bob Weinstein, the co-founder of Miramax and The Weinstein Company, was accused of sexual harassing a producer---allegations he has denied.

In a Variety report, “The Mist”, producer/show runner Amanda Segel said that he made romantic overtures toward her and asked her to have private dinners with him. She says the alleged harassment started in the summer of 2016 and lasted for about three months until her lawyer told The Weinstein Company executives that she would leave the show if Weinstein does not stop.
