No news story should come as a surprise. This is the internet, you should always have known all along.

He was in a position where plenty of people knew him, but only in certain circles. Those circles just happen to consist of actual famous celebrities, so some people are acting like he had the same level of general fame.

you have to realize this is on the internet- the revelation happened a week or so ago, which is about 50 years in internet time

so yes you should've known about him 50 years ago!

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Do you watch a lot of movies? His company is named after him and pretty much anyone who won an award thanked him in their acceptance speech. It's just a name you pick up after awhile, like some of the more notable sports team owners.

You'd still have to be a pretty big movie buff to know who he is from that, and even then you'd might know the name Weinstein more as a brand than actually knowing Harvey Weinstein.

And a lot of the more notable sports team owners are famous for other reasons too, like Mark Cuban.

I am not a big movie guy so I feel slightly less weird, then.

Hollywood is such a massive industry at this point with hundreds of shows and movies being produced each year that it would be tough to fault someone for not knowing some background players in the behind-the-scenes side of things.

You shouldn't have known him by name potentially, but ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, you should have known the prototype of him was apt to sexually assault and rape and it being covered up because of who he supports.

Honestly this is becoming hate speech, dude. You gotta chill out.

Actually Harvey and his brother Robert founded Miramax in 1979. I'd heard of him because he had a hand in every Tarantino movie (usually as executive producer), but over the past year I haven't watched anything he was involved with.

I don't think it's weird not to know, but I think if you pay attention to the western entertainment industry at all you would have heard the Weinstein name enough to at least have some familiarity

How many people here know who is the top power broker of the company they work for?

What's scary is Weinstein might not even be in the top tier of hollywood creeps.
