Academy Award winner Meryl Streep called the sexual harassment allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein "disgraceful," "inexcusable," and "abuse of power." She called the women who have spoken out against him "heroes." In a statement sent to HuffPost exclusively by Streep's longtime publicist Leslee Dart, Streep says she did not know that Weinstein― with whom she has collaborated for years on films like "August: Osage County" and "The Iron Lady" and once referred to as a "God"― was engaging in "inappropriate, coercive acts" and that he had paid financial settlements to at least eight women after they accused him of harassment and assault. |
