Samantha Bee Blasts "White Cosby" Harvey Weinstein, Shares "Penis PSA"
Samantha Bee had some words of advice for men to avoid ending up in Harvey Weinstein's current situation during her Wednesday night show. The Full Frontal host shared her "Penis PSA" for men in the workplace following sexual harassment claims from actresses made against Weinstein, who has since been terminated from his company after an explosive Oct. 5 New York Times report.
"Fellas, I'm a big comedy star/Hollywood executive and I found that it's quite easy not to masturbate in front of my employees. In fact, it's one of the easiest things I don't do," said Bee. "Every day I wake up, get dressed, take the subway to work and then don't masturbate in front of anyone."
Bee added: "Next time you get the urge to masturbate just ask yourself, 'Am I in front of an employee or a colleague?' If the answer is yes, don't. Just don't."
Bee told men everywhere that she's sorry to tell them, "no one wants to see your dick in any context," and that it shouldn't be whipped out at film festivals or in text messages.
"Stop and ask yourself, 'What is our power dynamic?' Is there a chance in hell that this person might only be agreeing to see my hideous dick out of fear for their career?" Bee concluded. "If so, make a good business choice and keep your business in your pants. Good talk, guys!"
Bee also addressed Weinstein directly, introducing the story by saying that recently, "America encountered this season's second destructive vortex of moisture named Harvey."
The host took issue with Weinstein's bizarre statement to the New York Times, attributing his actions to coming of age in a different era.
"Oh give me a break, white Cosby," Bee said of Weinstein. "Nobody asked for your all about mea culpa. Don't blame the '60s and '70s for your behavior, it's serial sexual harassment not a Monkees tattoo."
