This is unreal. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was presenting one of the awards at the Oscars in 2013 and he made a joke that implicitly suggests everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein’s behavior.
From the New York Times:
His alleged behavior became something of a Hollywood open secret: When the comedian Seth MacFarlane announced Oscar nominees in 2013, he joked, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.” The audience laughed. According to a 2015 memo by a former Weinstein Company executive that The Times previously disclosed, the misconduct continued.

Seth was being dead serious because HE KNEW about Weinstein as did every enabler in that room. #LiberalHypocrisy. #feminism
