Harvey Weinstein's Brother Accused of Sexual Harassment

Another member of the Weinstein family is facing sexual harassment allegations after a producer accused him of misconduct occurring over the past year. Harvey Weinstein's younger brother Bob is being accused by Amanda Segel, who was an executive producer on the show "Mist," of making inappropriate "romantic overtures" to her and inviting her to private dinners. Segel said that she repeatedly turned down these offers, yet Weinstein kept insisting.
From Variety: Amanda Segel, an executive producer of “Mist,” said Weinstein repeatedly made romantic overtures to her and asked her to join him for private dinners. The harassment began in the summer of 2016 and continued on and off for about three months until Segel’s lawyer, David Fox of Myman Greenspan, informed TWC executives — including COO David Glasser — that she would leave the show if Bob Weinstein did not stop contacting her on personal matters.“
‘No’ should be enough,” Segel told Variety. “After ‘no,’ anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn’t want a friendship. He wanted more than that. My hope is that ‘no’ is enough from now on.”

That’s not sexual harassment

Definitely crossed some lines but this is still tame compared to his brother, the scourge of potted plants and boat floors.

Inviting someone to dinner is sexual harassment? The frick kind of world are we living in?

Segal informed TWC executives — including COO David Glasser — that she would leave the show if Bob Weinstein did not stop contacting her on personal matters.

Man I'm going to enjoy watching this witchhunt. I hope that they all eat themselves alive over there.

Exactly. Sexual harassment in the workplace involves some kind of coercion and authority. If all he did was ask her to dinner, it's nothing. If he did it repeatedly and she had told him to stop many times, it might be considered harassment (not sexual).
The biggest problem coming from all these sudden revelations is that most of the accusers don't even know the difference between harassment, sexual harassment, and assault. It is NOT sexual harassment if a creepy guy asks you out.
