After The New York Times and The New Yorker published sexual assault allegations from dozens of actresses across the industry, Weinstein has been kicked out of his own company, seen his name struck from all future productions, been ousted from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (which awards the Oscars), had honors rescinded (such as one from Harvard) and become persona non grata in the entertainment world. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone as widely reviled as Weinstein is. Perhaps only Bill Cosby, whose trial on sexual assault charges in June ended in a deadlocked jury, has earned the same kind of animus from Social. At the height of his legal woes, the comedian and moralist was facing negative sentiments in the high-90s. He’s recovered some ground since then, reaching 20 percent positives. Weinstein currently has just 13 percent positives, which isn’t that abysmal when you consider how much lower his star is sure to sink when the Los Angeles Police Dept.’s investigation of rape charges against him gets further along. –Hugo Guzman
