Jez Butterworth: My message to Harvey Weinstein - BBC Newsnight

British playwright Jez Butterworth has condemned Harvey Weinstein, who faces multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein. Mr Weinstein has further said that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances.
