From the organisation that runs the oscars the academy said he no longer merited the respect of his colleagues. It follows a series of Sexual Assault accusations against the producer including rape some of which he has denied. Mr weinstein has already been fired by the company he founded, denounced by many of the celebrities he launched to stardom and called a depraved predator by his own brother. Laura bicker reports from la where the meeting of the academy has been taking place. The glitzy veneer which has hidden hollywoods darkest secrets has now been peeled back.
