Producers Guild of America (PGA) has unanimously moved to expel Harvey Weinstein in wake of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against the media mogul.
The move comes after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also revoked his membership from the institution.
In the statement obtained by Deadline, PGA said all types of sexual harassment is "completely unacceptable".

"As required by the PGA's Constitution, Mr Weinstein will be given the opportunity to respond before the Guild makes its final determination on November 6, 2017. Sexual harassment of any type is completely unacceptable. This is a systemic and pervasive problem requiring immediate industry-wide action," the statement read.
PGA also announced that board members created the Anti- Sexual Harassment Task Force, specifically charged with researching and proposing substantive and effective solutions to sexual harassment in the entertainment industry - composed of 20 women and 18 men.
