The price of being a predator

The public allegations against Harvey Weinstein, which first came to light over a month ago in the New York Times, started a domino effect of powerful men being called out for their inappropriate behavior towards men and women alike.

Why it matters: These men are losing everything: book deals are falling through, lawsuits are being filed, they're quitting their jobs (or being forced out), losing their companies, and more. This sends a message to predators throughout industries: if you abuse your power and position, you will lose.

The price of being a creep:

Harvey Weinstein - lost his company, and is under investigation. The Manhattan district attorney is seeking approval for an indictment as early as next week.


Kevin Spacey - replaced in upcoming film "All the Money in the World," dropped by his agency, publicist, and Netflix.


Mark Halperin - lost his book deal, an HBO series, and contributing spots with NBC and MSNBC.


James Toback - dropped by his talent agency.


Michael Fallon - resigned as U.K. defense minister.


Michael Oreskes - resigned as NPR news chief.


Roy Price - resigned as Amazon Studios director.


Leon Wieseltier - financial support for his magazine was pulled before launch.


John Besh - stepped down as CEO of Besh Restaurant Group, Harrah's New Orleans Casino has cut relations with the company.


Brett Ratner - Warner Bros. severed ties with the director, and Playboy Enterprises is shelving projects in which he's involved.


Lockhart Steele - fired from Vox Media as editorial director.


Chris Savino - fired by Nickelodeon.
'
Kirk Webster - lost his country music PR company (which changed its name to Westby PR) and was dropped by clients like Randy Travis, Dolly Parton, and Kid Rock.


Terry Richardson - Condé Nast International cut ties with the fashion photographer.There is a price now and that's not a bad thing.
