Howard Stern Slams Harvey Weinstein Amid Scandal
Howard Stern is not mincing his words.
During his Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the famous radio personality had plenty to say about — and insults to aim at — Harvey Weinstein in the wake of the film producer's ongoing sexual assault scandal.
"First of all, when did this guy have time to make movies?" Stern jokingly asked host Jimmy Kimmel. "I thought movie making was hard."
"All of these guys who do sexual harassment, I mean, they're freaks," the 63-year-old continued. "This big fat guy, what does he think? He says to a woman — here's his standard move according to all these women who have accused him — he goes, 'Listen, I'm going to get in the shower. I want you to watch me nude.' Now, I'm a man — if you saw me naked, you'd throw up."
"There is no girl on the planet that wants to see Harvey Weinstein naked and is gonna get aroused," the former America's Got Talent judge added. "If I was Harvey Weinstein, I'd wear a burka and say, 'Listen, you don't have to look at me.'"
Later in the interview, Stern brought up other infamous sex scandals, including those of Bill O'Reilly, who was fired at Fox News in April 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment, and disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, who was recently sentenced to 21 months in prison after pleading guilty to sending obscene material to a minor.
"He's texting and he's sending pictures of his penis," he said in reference to Weiner. "The one thing women don't want to see is a guy's penis. They want to see you got a job, they want to see you treat them nice."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Weinstein has been accused of thirty years worth of sexual misconduct against actresses in Hollywood, including rape, following shocking exposés by The New York Times and The New Yorker. Stern is not the only celebrity speaking out against the Miramax co-founder, as several A-listers have since condemned his alleged behavior.
