>> next season. next season. >> always next year. let's move to the fallout surrounding harvey weinstein and that fall from grace. good morning to you. >> overnight yet another member of the board of representatives has stepped down. according to a source in a position to know. actress rose mcgowan is revealing more about what she says happened between her and harvey weinstein. new photographs obtained by tmz of harvey weinstein out to dinner in arizona. reportedly to enter rehab. rose mcgowan tweeted a shocking allegation. i told the head of your studio that hw raped me. she said when she was working with amazon studios she ignored her claims against harvey weinstein. over and over i said it. he said it hadn't been proven. i said i was the proof. thursday amazon studio head roy price was himself accused of sexual harassment by a tv producer. overnight amazon telling cnbc he's on leave of absence effective immediately. adding, we are reviewing our option with the projects we have with their company. mcgowan reached a settlement in 1997. it's not clear whether she reported the allegations to authorities. a weinstein spokesperson says any allegations of non-consensual sex are denied. a hollywood reporter speaking exclusively about the scandal. >> you can respect people. you can respect women. and it's easy. it's demented not to. hopefully the industry as a whole is getting fed up. >> there is kind of like, a wink and acceptance of that behavior. >> the women who stood up have to be applauded. that's really, really hard to do when nobody wants to stand up. and the silence is deafening. and i think that that's the part that we're responsible for. >> more than 30 women have made accusations against harvey weinstein varying from sexual harassment, assault and rape. kate beckensale was 17. he opened the door in his bath robe. i was naive and young and it didn't cross my mind that this older unattractive man would expect me to have any sexual interest in him. years later she said weinstein asked if he had tried anything with her. i realized he couldn't remember if he had assaulted me or not. actress claire forlani said she escaped five times. i ducked dived and got out of there without being slobbered over. the new york police department is conducting a review to determine if there are any additional complaints related to weinstein. police in london say they have received a referral about a sexual assault possibly involving weinstein. the new allegations shining an unappealing life on an open hollywood secret. >> it's the entitlement of too many men. it's epidemic. when they're famous and powerful like harvey then it gets talked about. >> this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg. i don't think you can describe him as a sex addict, he's a predator. >> julia roberts who earned an oscar nomination from a weinstein produced film. i hope we will stand up against this predatory behavior. rose mcgowan has called for women to boycott twitter for the day after her account was temporarily suspended. this protest is continuing on. twitter said she was blocked for posting a personal phone number. they restored her account as soon as the number was deleted. this story, it won't go away. it's only getting worse. >> thank you. we should mention -- you can see that full video from the hollywood report at today.com. let's turn to megyn kelly who joins us. megyn, an attorney. people hear these alt glegation and think how is this person having dinner in scottsdale. >> as a practical matter it's very difficult to bring cases, we believe there are investigations open in new york, california and london. the chances of bringing a rape case or a sexual battery case or even a public indecency case this many years after the fact. the alleged rapes that have been brought forward, he denies them all i should say, are over ten years old. in new york, for example, if it happened before 2006, at that point there was a ten year statute of limitations. the claims would be barred. look what happened in the bill crosby case. all those women were there, they couldn't make the case. the jury did not come back with a conviction. >> let's talk about the civil possibilities here. you have 30 women, some telling the same kind of story. a lot don't know each other. does it strengthen the idea of a civil case against him? >> absolutely. because in the law, you usually can't get in what we call prior evidence of bad acts unless you can show pattern. unless you can show pattern. all the women coming forward could be really helpful in case, you know, a case is brought. civilly is where, not just weinstein but the weinstein company have the most exposure. the problem for them is what are the women going to say in terms -- like, if you worked for the weinstein company you got fired if you didn't sleep with weinstein. one woman says he grabbed her years ago and suffered a bunch of emotional distress, that's hard to prove. >> or she said i didn't get opportunities, hard to prove. >> it's tough to prove that in a court of law. there is more exmoeposure than criminally. but i think the biggest problem is a business matter. their reputation has been ruined. everybody understands what he's been doing. you've got 30 women coming forward now. 30. i bet there will be more. that's how these things go once the flood gates open. >> the board insisted -- they were quote, shocked and dismayed. utter surprise is how they describe it. do you buy that? if this is such an open secret in hollywood as it seems to be? how could the corporate managers be completely clueclassleless f decades. >> good question. if they were clueless, why? why were you so clueless. where was your oversight? that's the purpose of the board. this is the guy running the company. we know they knew of at least four settlements. "the new york times" documents there were at least eight settlements. that's all we know about. that's what's been reported in the news. and as a practical matter it doesn't matter. harvey weinstein was a principle of the company. his knowing is knowledge by the company. and so, you know, if you're a woman who worked there and you claimed you'd were submitted to a hostile work environment you'll use all that stuff to come after them for the environment in which you were submerged. i do think what we have to ask ourselves as a society is not so much related to law, it's related to our morals. our principles. and how are you going to feel supporting this company, which, obviously, didn't have a major problem with these multiple settlements they saw. >> we're out of time, but thank you and we'll see you for megyn kelly today. >> let's go to al roker for a check of the weather. let's show you what's happening in florida. we're looking at a lot of wet weather and it will continue over the next several days. this weekend is going to see rounds and rounds of showers and storms. some of these downpours, occasional lightning. gusty winds. some areas two to three inches of rain. it's now a hurricane ophelia, 615 miles southwest of the azores. 105 miles per hour. it's moving east northeast. may affect ireland by tuesday. but we have now had ten hurricanes in a row. last time that happened was good morning. i'm first alert meteorologist meteorologist:: -- meteorologist krystal klei. cloudy conditions, breezy, and isolated showers. spotty in nature, mostly sprinkles. warmer than yesterday. low to mid 60s in the suburbs. low 70s to spot mid 60s in the lehigh valley. you see the temperature at 64 for allentown. 68 in voorheis. upper 60s along the jersey shore. better chance of a shower there. and upper 60s, as well, in delaware. this sunday night football weather is brought to you by verizon. the best network and the best unlimited. everybody may be talking about baseball, but that's until sunday. because that's when we all start talking about sunday night football night in america. that's right. it's a good one. well, half a good one. we've got the giants -- i think they're still playing football -- they're coming in to take on the broncos. sports authority field, denver, colorado. clear, mild, much like their offense. 54 degrees on sunday night football night in america. coverage begins here on nbc. >> we hurt the ones we love? >> it's okay. >> plenty more to come, including how to figure out your personality type and knowing why the answer can make your life a little bit better. dylan is in the orange room with a surprising controversy over a twitter account that defends the nfl commissioner. could all that junk in your house actually be hidden treasures worth thousands? we'll show you how to cash in. what bruce springsteen what bruce springsteen revealed during his posting hashtag yeehaw. hashtag i have no signal and i still can't post out here. woah! look out, coming through. hey thomas. howdy there joy. see joy's got the new iphone with verizon unlimited. you bet i do. best phone, best network. america's largest, most reliable 4g lte network. she can post out here like she does in the city. hey twelve likes. what? likes won't get you didly around these parts. yaaw!
