Weinstein added, We believe what the board is trying to do is not only wrong but might be illegal and would destroy the company. But the TWC board itself was unmoved by his pleas. After putting him on indefinite leave Friday, it moved two days later on Sunday to terminate his employment with the company he co founded with his brother, Bob Weinstein, in 2. Among the execs to receive Weinsteins memo were Discovery Networks CEO David Zaslav, former Dream. Works Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, NBCUniversal vice chair Ron Meyer, WME IMG co CEO Ari Emanuel and CAA managing partner Kevin Huvane. Harvey Weinsteins complete email is below. My board is thinking of firing me. All Im asking, is let me take a leave of absence and get into heavy therapy and counseling. Whether it be in a facility or somewhere else, allow me to resurrect myself with a second chance. A lot of the allegations are false as you know but given therapy and counseling as other people have done, I think Id be able to get there. I could really use your support or just your honesty if you cant support me. But if you can, I need you to send a letter to my private gmail address. The letter would only go to the board and no one else. We believe what the board is trying to do is not only wrong but might be illegal and would destroy the company. If you could write this letter backing me, getting me the help and time away I need, and also stating your opposition to the board firing me, it would help me a lot. I am desperate for your help. Just give me the time to have therapy. Do not let me be fired. If the industry supports me, that is all I need. With all due respect, I need the letter today. Help A Reporter Out© 2017
