Harvey Weinstein’s brother, Bob, has been leading the charge to rid the company of the pervy producer’s taint. Now Bob, too, might be in hot water.

Amanda Segel, an executive producer of the shortlived Spike series “The Mist,” has accused the younger Weinstein of propositio­ning her and repeatedly asking her out to private dinners over a period of three months last year — and of not stopping until she got a lawyer.

“After ‘no,’ anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn’t want a friendship,” Segel told Variety.

Bob’s lawyer called Segel’s claims “false and misleading.”

“There is no way in the world that Bob Weinstein is guilty of sexual harassment, and even if you believed what this person asserts, there is no way it would amount to that,” his attorney Bert Fields told Deadline.com

Like Harvey, who has been hit with numerous claims of sex assault and harassment, Bob’s future with the Weinstein Company is in question.

Colony Capital, which is currently in talks to buy the embattled firm, doesn’t want Bob running the show, TMZ said. He could be asked to stay in a lesser role.

“Bob will gently go,” a source told the celebrity gossip site, adding that he could remain in charge of the company’s sci-fi arm, Dimension Films.

Meanhile, Amazon Studios head Roy Price resigned from that company, following claims he sexually harassed a female producer.

Isa Hackett, a producer on “The Man in the High Castle,” alleged that Price told her, “You’ll love my d- -k.”
