Before The New York Times published its story exposing the many allegations of sexual harassment that have been brought against producer Harvey Weinstein, JAY-Z had been working with him and The Weinstein Company on a few documentary projectsâspecifically Spikeâs Time: The Kalief Browder Story and an upcoming Trayvon Martin series. Weinstein has now been fired from the production company he co-founded, but JAY-Z might not be finished working with The Weinstein Company. In fact, TMZ says that he might even be interested in partly taking over Weinsteinâs 23 percent stake.
JAY-Z isnât the only one preparing to possibly make this bid, though, as TMZ says heâs working with a few other investors âincluding a famous movie producer and a billionaire.â Itâs unclear why this billionaire in particular canât just take over Weinsteinâs stake themselves, but itâs probably because JAY-Z is the one spearheading this plan.
