Women Confront Harvey Weinstein at Actor's Hour Event, Get Thrown Out of Bar

Harvey Weinstein made an appearance in public at an Actor’s Hour performance event in New York City and he was confronted by several women in attendance.

Two of the women allege that they were kicked out of the venue, Downtime Bar, after they spoke up and confronted Weinstein.

Comedian Kelly Bachman was one of the performers at the event and she addressed the “elephant in the room” during her set. She said, “I didn’t know we had to bring our own Mace and rape whistles to Actor’s Hour.”

Kelly was booed by the audience and one of the show’s attendees, Zoe Stuckless, decided to speak up after the rest of the crowd remained silent.

“I thought about all of the voices that have been silenced over so many years. I thought about the artists, the women, who were paralyzed by the same fear that I felt, surrounded by colleagues who were intimidated into a culture of silence and passivity. This room was a microcosm of our whole community,” Zoe wrote on Facebook. She was escorted out of the venue after confronting Weinstein.

A third woman tweeted that she was “guided” out of the bar after confronting him as well. Amber Rollo tweeted, “I went in and called him a f—ing monster and told him he should disappear. His friend/body guard/goon/family member called me a c—t and I really really wanted to lunge over the table and strangle him.”

A rep for Weinstein responded to the incident.

“Harvey Weinstein was out with friends enjoying the music and trying to find some solace in his life that has been turned upside down. This scene was uncalled for, downright rude and an example of how due process today is being squashed by the public, trying to take it away in the courtroom too,” the rep told Variety.

“As an aside – Harvey in fact suggested the woman should be allowed to talk and ask him any questions. The venue’s personnel asked the woman to leave, not Harvey’s. I would just point out that he being treated as if he has been convicted. Accusations are, in-fact, not convictions,” the statement continued. “Due process is still the foundation of each and every one of our civil rights in this country. Please don’t lose sight of that definitive conviction when you write. Anyone should be allowed to be there if they are acting in accordance with the norms of the space. As for the name calling, it was 100% not anyone in HW’s employ and not someone speaking on HW’s behalf.”

Weinstein added, “I am happy to address anyone’s questions. We should all be offered the courtesy to voice opinions and be heard, and to even get answers. I am glad we all still have these rights.”
