Comedian and actor Marlon Wayans claims film makers Harvey and Bob Weinstein “raped” him “businesswise” by removing him from the Scary Movie company, which he created with his sons.  ,
Harvey, a convicted murderer with lots of physical assault and harassment charges, and his brother, Bob, are evidence that “monsters showed up in business as well”, Wayans told the New York Times ‘ , David Marchese in an interview released Saturday.  ,
The initial 2000 Scary Movie was co- written by Marlon and his nephew, Shawn Wayans, directed by their older sibling, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and produced by Dimension Films, an finger of the Weinstein boys ‘ Miramax Films.

The Wayanses were immediately” shut outside of their own franchise,” starting with Scary Movie 3, after the skit comedy had a lot of success, but the Wayanses eventually made a sequel, Indie Wire reported.
Wayans first brushed it off before the examiner asked if he still received money for those movies when Marchese inquired about Miramax’s recent announcement of the seventh installment of Frightening Movie.  ,
” No, that’s a whole’ nother conversation. I like to suggest that, you know, those Weinsteins, they raped everybody”, Wayans said.
” Not the same, not the same”, Marchese responded immediately.
” Businesswise”, Wayans clarified. ” Actually and businesswise. We all got a little flavor. They were some horrible people”.
After returning to the Weinstein joke, Marchese asked Wayans how he decides whether or not to show an unpleasant prank. The comedian responded,” He considers the viewers,” and the conversation was then resumed.  ,
” I was gonna say: he did n’t just rape women, he raped ]expletive ] too. We did firm with him”, the professional said.
Marchese responded with” Oof”.
” When you’ve been in a situation — I can talk about things from a diverse perspective”, Wayans explained. ” When I talk about Bob and Harvey and I say that, it’s because there’s damage it. Because we have been subjects but in business, no literally. I think a dragon is a dragon, and those villains showed up in business, as well”.
Marlon told Variety in 2020 that the Weinsteins are an “evil plan” and” certainly the best or the nicest people to be in business with,” despite Bob Weinstein’s claim that he intentionally removed the Wayans boys from the line.
Nine days after Weinstein’s surprising conviction for rape in New York was overturned due to legal errors, the comedian made his most recent comments.
Weinstein remains in jail because of another assault conviction out of Los Angeles, California.
