From the linked article:
Such a cowardly bullshit cop-out statement. Private event or not, allowing him in clearly does not make everyone feel welcome. Shame on them If they knew he was on the guest list and didn't raise issue with it."Please know that our goal at Downtime is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome. We respect the privacy of our patrons and event partners, and want to ensure that all guests are treated equally, with the same service and respect..."
In another article I read Weinstein's rep issued a statement going on and on about due process...also a cop-out. No private citizen owes him anything, let alone due process. They are well within their rights to tell him the fuck off just as the venue is well within theirs to ask people to leave. In this case they ejected the wrong people. Shameful.
