Studio boss fired over Weinstein allegations
BALTIMORE — The movie studio co-founded by Harvey Weinstein has fired its president, whose continued presence at the company was a source of controversy.
The Weinstein Co. board said in a prepared statement Friday that it had voted unanimously to fire David Glasser.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has said Glasser knew of allegations of sexual misconduct by Weinstein but failed to ensure they were investigated.
The Weinstein Co. has not responded to a call for comment. Weinstein was ousted last year. He has denied nonconsensual sexual contact.
