Harvey Weinstein: 4 days that ended the career of a movie mogul
In the space of four days   Harvey Weinstein  went from being one of the most powerful men in Hollywood to taking a leave of absence and then to losing  his  job  following allegations of sexual harassment or unwanted physical contact from several women over nearly three decades.
"In light of new information about misconduct by  Harvey Weinstein  that has emerged in the past few days  the directors of The Weinstein Company ... have determined  and have informed  Harvey Weinstein   that  his  employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated  effective immediately " said a statement from the company's board of directors to ABC News on Sunday.
Thursday  Oct. 5 -- ' Harvey Weinstein  paid off sexual harassment accusers for decades'
 Weinstein  admitted wrongdoing in a statement to ABC News and revealed that he'd be taking a leave of absence.
But he also fired back at the Times  with his attorney  Charles Harder  saying the newspaper story is "saturated with false and defamatory statements" and that he is preparing a lawsuit against the Times on  Weinstein 's behalf. That lawsuit has yet to be filed.
In the wake of the publication of the Times article   Weinstein 's adviser Lisa Bloom released a statement on Twitter explaining her work with the studio executive  a role that appeared to be a sharp change from her previous work representing high-profile women such as Blac Chyna and Kathy Griffin.

ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Bloom on "Good Morning America" if  Weinstein  did in fact sexually harass women.
