When Did He Have Time to Make Movies?

This is a little scary. 

In 2014, Harvey Weinstein went on the Howard Stern show to promote a new movie. Towards the end of the freewheeling interview -- where Harvey and Howard talked about the great movies Harvey's company had produced over the years, about what an idiot former Disney head Michael Eisner is, about how Harvey came to love movies and theater and culture of all sorts -- Howard asks the now fallen producer about the "casting couch."

Harvey denies ever having taken part in this ages-old traddition, that this kind of practice is long gone and outdated in the new corporate movie business -- and that the "risks are too great" and the "budgets are too big", no one would think of transgressing in this way without suffering severe repurcussions.

I remember hearing this interview at the time and totally believed him -- it seemed like in the era of social media, 24/7 cable news, TMZ, litigousness, etc. this kind of nasty behavior was long dead.

Guess not.

Not only was Harvey a participate in the casting couch culture, he was one of its chief offenders -- and now it's sent him to jail. So much so, in fact, that Howard pondered several years later, "When did this guy have time to make movies?"
