Obamas Release Scathing Statement About Harvey Weinstein

What might have been lost in all the talk of film producer Harvey Weinstein‘s decade-long sexual abuse history is the fact that former first daughter, Malia Obama, spend a great deal of time working as an intern at The Weinstein Company.

Yesterday, Malia’s parents, Barack and Michelle Obama, released a statement in reaction to the breaking news, via CBSNews:

“Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein,” Mr. Obama said in the statement. “Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture — including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect — so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future.”

You already KNOW Barack and Michelle asked Malia a MILLION questions about how creepy azz Harvey interacted with her!

Not EVERYONE in Hollyweird is ready to slander Weinstein. In fact, Lindsay Lohan actually DEFENDED him! Flip the page to see what this ditzy broad had to say…
