Screenwriter Scott Rosenberg says “everybody f**king knew” about Harvey Weinstein.
According to Deadline, Rosenberg has written about his time at Miramax in a lengthy and searingly honest Facebook post, which has now either been removed or made private.
“Harvey and Bob made my first two movies,” he writes in the post. “They anointed me. Made it so other studios thought I was the real deal. They gave me my career.”
The 54-year-old screenwriter describes how the brothers wanted to create a “family of film” and how meetings “would turn into plans that would turn into raucous nights out on the town”.
He says Miramax OG was a “blast”.
“And let me tell you one thing. Let’s be perfectly clear about one thing: Everybody-f**king-knew,” he writes.

Rosenberg explains that although people didn’t know about the sexual assaults, everyone was aware of a “certain pattern of overly-aggressive behavior that was rather dreadful”.
“We knew about the man’s hunger; his fervor; his appetite.”
The Beautiful Girls writer says everyone turned a blind eye so they could further their own careers.
“If Harvey’s behavior (sic) is the most reprehensible thing one can imagine, a not-so-distant second is the current flood of sanctimonious denial and condemnation that now crashes upon these shores of rectitude in gloppy tides of bulls**t righteousness.”

What makes me sick is Weinstein going on about once he gets therapy - once he is “cured”, once he “gets better”. What a load of BS. The man and the industry and the town are rotten to the core, always has been, now it’s simply been exposed for what it is - a superficial landscape deserted, not only of any water, but any shred of human decency or dignity or integrity.
Makes me wonder... how many other guys like this does 'everyone' know about?
