Welcome to dark dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity. This goes beyond corporate greed and get rich quick schemes, beyond shady products and questionable CEOs. Here, we take a look at the very worst of humanity, to see what evil people are truly capable of. From the 1980s to 2017, Harvey Weinstein’s name could be found on pretty much every movie or tv show you saw on your tv. But, in 2017 his massive empire came crashing down when a tidal wave of accusations flooded in. The famed producer had a disgusting and drawn-out history of harassment, sexual assault, and bribery that rocked Hollywood. It seemed every actress you had ever heard of had faced the horrifying treatment of this monster of a man. Now, years after the first accusations, Harvey is still in the midst of legal battles, and the saga and terrifying truth of his time in Hollywood never seems to end.
