The director himself has been accused, in 2014, sexual abuse of his daughter Dylan. Our correspondent in Los Angeles, Hervé Tropéa questioned him on the subject…

Already ten days that the case, Weinstein makes a lot of noise. The boss of Miramax, then the Weinstein company, is accused of having harassed and raped many women over the past thirty years. Since then, he has been ousted from his company, would be left in ashes, and detoxification. We learned also the last weekend that Weinstein has been excluded from the Academy of the oscars – the films that he had products have won not less than 80 statuettes.
