Kevin Smith Says He's "Ashamed" Harvey Weinstein Financed His Work

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

"He financed the first 14 years of my career - and now I know while I was profiting, others were in terrible pain," the director and actor says.

Filmmaker Kevin Smith broke his silence about Harvey Weinstein on Monday morning.

"He financed the first 14 years of my career - and now I know while I was profiting, others were in terrible pain. It makes me feel ashamed," Smith wrote on Twitter in a reply to a fan who asked him how he felt about Weinstein's hard fall from grace.

Smith, a writer, director and Silent Bob actor, did multiple films under the Miramax moniker, including both Clerks films, Mall Rats, Chasing Amy and Dogma.
