The guild of Hollywood producers called its decision to permanently bar Harvey Weinstein from its ranks an "unprecedented" measure that reflects the "seriousness" of the producer's "widely reported behavior."
"Sexual harassment can no longer be tolerated in our industry or within the ranks of Producers Guild membership," the guild's statement said.
The PGA's decision to expel Weinstein from the guild made earlier this month was unanimous. The producer was given 15 days to appeal, but instead, Weinstein resigned his membership.
Over 90 women have voiced allegations of sexual assault or harassment by the American film producer. The US police in New York, London and Los Angeles are currently investigating the cases.
Weinstein has already been banned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
