WASHINGTON: A female comedian was booed and two women asked to leave after protesting Harvey Weinstein’s presence at an event for young actors in New York, reports said. The disgraced Hollywood mogul is currently awaiting trial on charges of sexual assault and has pleaded not guilty. Comedian Kelly Bachman, 27, was performing on Wednesday night in the “Actor’s Hour” at a bar in lower Manhattan where Weinstein was in attendance, according to BuzzFeed News. After witnessing Stuckless’s actions, Rollo told Weinstein: “You’re a f*****g monster. Weinstein has been accused of inappropriate behaviour by more than 80 women, and was a catalyst for America’s #MeToo movement last year.--AFP
