Harvey Weinstein maintained 91-name hit list of those who may have had info regarding his sexual misconduct
Former Hollywood film exec and movie producer Harvey Weinstein is reported to have compiled a lengthy list of his sexual assault victims and others who may have had potential information regarding his sexual misconduct. He was having his victims, women who were accusing him of sexual harrassment, investigated in an effort to keep them quiet regarding their accusations, according to a November 18 report from Fox News. Following sexual harassment allegations levied against Weinstein by at least 30 women, most television and film organizations, including the Weinstein Company which Weinstein helped create, cut all ties with the former media mogul.
The Guardian reported that Weinstein’s hit list of names he wanted to silence totaled 91 names of actors, publicists, producers, financiers – and included Rose McGowan, Laura Madden and Zelda Perkins. Reportedly, those three names were marked and highlighted in red, an indication that Weinstein considered them to be targets of high importance. The 91 names of Hollywood insiders were being investigated by Weinstein, “because of potential information they may have had regarding his alleged sexual assault(s),” according to The Guardian.
Also included in Weinstein’s hit list, was Hollywood producer, Brett Ratner. In October, Ratner, who had directed blockbusters like “Rush Hour,” “Red Dragon,” and “X-Men: The Last Stand,” was accused of raping Melanie Kohler, a former employee of the Endeavor Talent Agency, according to Variety. That rape allegation came on the heels of numerous sexual misconduct and sexual harassment complaints from other women in Hollywood.
