Hachette Book Group shuts down its Weinstein Books imprint
The Weinstein Company has been trying to figure out how it can distance itself from co-founder Harvey Weinstein ever since The New York Times reported on the decades of sexual harassment allegations that have been brought against him, first by forcing him out of the company and then by reportedly hiring an ad agency to come up with an entirely new name for the studio, but The Weinstein Company itself isn’t the only organization trying to sever all ties. According to Entertainment Weekly, publisher Hachette Book Group has shut down the Weinstein Books imprint, ending a deal that goes back to 2012.
