In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker wrote about dozens of women who had accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape. Later, more than 80 women working in the industry accused Weinstein of such acts.

As a result, Weinstein was dismissed by The Weinstein Company, and expelled from professional associations, including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The company has been in talks on possible sale to a group of investors. However, the lawsuit reportedly froze negotiations.
