As Twitchy reported, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is facing a rash of sexual harassment allegations after the New York Times published the results of its investigation Thursday.
Not necessarily denying the charges, lawyer Lisa Bloom called Weinstein “an old dinosaur learning new ways,” and in a statement that must be read to be believed, Weinstein blamed in part the culture of the 1960s and ’70s, when he came of age and when the rules were different.
One doesn’t have to go decades into the past, though, to find a much more “woke” Harvey Weinstein praising feminism on public forums like Twitter. Check out flashbacks like this one to a 2015 TimesTalks interview with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.

Well, we certainly have a different perspective on Harvey Weinstein today.
