Grace Dyas, a writer, producer and director has claimed Colgan told her last year she had lost so much weight, “I’d almost have sex with you”.

Dyas goes on to say:

“I was taken aback but not surprised. I said ‘Michael, you can’t say that to me!’ He replied ‘What? I didn’t say I would fuck you. You haven’t lost that much weight.’”

Wow… talk about white man privledge.

Colgan later denied he had made the comment. He’s also been accused of harassing 3 other women.

Michael Colgan, stepped down this year as artistic director of the Gate Theatre in Dublin.

Weinsteins, Weinsteins Everywhere

The Weinstein Effect is being felt everywhere in the entertainment world too.

The Weinstein Company’s “Amityville: The Awakening” grossed a minuscule $742 total at 10 locations on Saturday.

That’s $742 dollars. Not in millions. Just $742 DOLLARS.

I had to read it a few times to make sure I’d read it correctly.

That pathetic number comes two weeks after the Amityville sequel began streaming for free on Google Play.

Although the movie stars some great talent, it seems it flopped so badly because of the current state of affairs at the Weinstein company.

Here is another long, but well written encounter by an actress turned writer and director who ran into Harvey Weinstein at the wrong time.
