Many of the people who associated with Harvey Weinstein over the years are expressing surprise at news of all the allegations against the Hollywood mogul, but comments from others also indicate his behavior was well-known in industry circles. Seth McFarland made a joke in 2013 at an Oscars event suggesting Hollywood knew the truth about Weinstein, and one year before that, the NBC comedy “30 Rock” featured this joke about Weinstein:

Apparently Weinstein’s behavior wasn’t only known in Hollywood, but it was a running gag.
Everybody in Hollywood knew…

Hollywood totally knew he was a sexual predator! Sad that they joked about it instead of speaking out against it.
