Channing Tatum Will Never Work For the Weinstein Company Again
Channing Tatum is cutting all his ties with Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company.
The actor had a role in The Hateful Eight, which was produced by Weinstein, and he took to Facebook to say he supports the women who came forward and will never have anything to do with the company.
“The brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their truth about Harvey Weinstein are true heroes to us,” said Channing and his producing partner, Reid Carolin, in a joint statement. “They are lifting the heavy bricks to build the equitable world we all deserve to live in… Our lone project in development with TWC — Matthew Quick’s brilliant book, Forgive Me Leonard Peacock — is a story about a boy whose life was torn asunder by sexual abuse,” the statement continues. “While we will no longer develop it or anything else that is property of TWC, we are reminded of its powerful message of healing in the wake of tragedy.”
