John Oliver is first late-night host to blast Harvey Weinstein over sexual harassment allegations

The first late-night host to take on Harvey Weinstein over his sexual harassment allegations is John Oliver.

That was the culture then.

I have since learned it’s not an excuse."

Replied Oliver on Sunday, “Yeah, you’re right: Your excuse isn’t an excuse.

That wasn’t discovered by scientists until 1998.

It was a different time.'”

Oliver then cited areport from HuffPostalleging Weinstein exposed himself in front of a local news reporter and masturbated.

This past weekend’sSaturday Night Livealso failed to take aim at Weinstein, even during Weekend Update.

(According toTheNew York Times, jokes about Weinstein were cut from the broadcast.)

Since theTimespublished its story on Thursday, Weinstein hasbeen firedfrom The Weinstein Company.

“The New York Timespublished today a story that is saturated with false and defamatory statements about Harvey Weinstein.

We sent theTimesthe facts and evidence, but they ignored it and rushed to publish.

We are preparing the lawsuit now.

All proceeds will be donated to women’s organizations.”
