Michael Moore Slams Weinstein Over Alleged Behavior, Calls for a "World Without Harveys"

The Hollywood Reporter reports:
"I'm guessing successful sociopaths like him who get away with it for years are very, very careful not to let the kind of men who would stop them dead cold ever get a glimpse of who they really are," he wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.

Michael Moore, who worked with Harvey Weinstein on his 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, is breaking his silence on the disgraced mogul since separate reports from the New York Times and The New Yorker broke, detailing allegations of sexual harassment and rape against him. Dozens of women have since come forward with similar claims.

The director slammed Weinstein in a post on his Facebook page on Friday, writing, "Harvey Weinstein knew better than to behave inappropriately toward women in my presence. I'm guessing successful sociopaths like him who get away with it for years are very, very careful not to let the kind of men who would stop them dead cold ever get a glimpse of who they really are."

Praising the Times report, Moore said he believes right now "is a profound cultural/social/political moment that I believe could actually ignite a historic change in our society."
Virtuous Michael Moore who didn't know the facts about Harvey Weinstein but knows the facts about climate change.
