>> 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 EPIDEMICIDEMIC.

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 MEG MEGYN KEL WHO JOINS US.

MEGYN, AN ATTORNEY. PEOPLE HEAR THESE ALLEGATIONS

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 EXPOSURE 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 CLUELESS FOR 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. >>
