(Newsbusters<\/a>) At a recent Planned Parenthood gala, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein appeared to paint himself as a staunch supporter of women \u2013 even though allegations now claim he was anything but.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 8, Weinstein was fired by The Weinstein Company following a New York Times story in which several women accused him of sexual harassment. Two days later, on Oct. 10, The New Yorker published a follow-up piece where three women accused him of rape.<\/p>\n

Back in May, Harvey Weinstein and his wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, attended Planned Parenthood\u2019s 100th-anniversary gala in New York City.<\/p>\n

At the celebration, Planned Parenthood awarded former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton the Champion of the Century Award. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Weinstein gave Clinton a standing ovation at the event where she insisted on the \u201cmorality\u201d of \u201creproductive health care\u201d (aka abortion) and stressed \u201ctrusting and valuing women.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Protecting access to the full range of reproductive health care. It is a health issue, of course, it is a core economic issue. Women in every corner of our country understand that intimately. And anyone who wants to lead should also understand that fundamentally, this is an issue of morality,” Clinton said. “I wish it were common ground, but I know for sure it is higher ground. And I believe, as you do, that trusting and valuing women is the right and moral position to take.”<\/p>\n

According to Artnet editor Sarah Cascone, Weinstein also purchased artwork by British painter Cecily Brown at a charity auction at the gala for $100,000. (According to the art market site, Brown’s work is “characterized by overt sexual imagery and an Abstract Expressionist gestural style.”) Page Six, a gossip and entertainment outlet, made the same claim.<\/p>\n

According to Planned Parenthood\u2019s most recently published annual report, the organization performed 328,348 abortions and received $554.6 million in \u201cgovernment health services grants and reimbursements\u201d for the year 2015 \u2013 2016.<\/p>\n
