Town Hall Seattle's statement on cancelling Weiner's promo:
“The event was cancelled by Town Hall Seattle when it became clear the program as conceived–a conversation between two respected artists and entertainment industry veterans about television, novels, creativity, and commerce–would not be possible, or responsible, in light of recent reporting.”

Foster Kamer, former contributor at Gawker (which broke the story of Gordon's firing back in 2009) on the subsequent hush-up of the story by Weiner's team:
And here is your second Gawker, Years Ago, Etc Etc moment today, starring Matthew Weiner. https://t.co/yXU7CZhP8R And by the way, we knew Nikki knew. People clammed up on me because they were afraid of Weiner, Weiner's CAA reps, and Nikki Finke. Fuck 'em all. pic.twitter.com/PVzi0ewF8E

Question: Who's gonna be the journalist who exposes Nikki Finke's place in the Weinstein/Weiner/etc etc protection racket?

Cindy Gallop's take (Janie Bryant, Mad Men's costumer, follows her. She is also attached to Weiner's latest project 'The Romanoffs', along with Christina Hendricks. Wonder if she'll speak out.):
When I told @3PercentConf"Our industry has hemorrhaged vast amounts of female talent, creativity and skills because of sexual harassment", this is what I mean. @katergordon forced off MadMen bc of Matthew Weiner's harassment @jessicalessin@theinformationhttps://t.co/y0l9HH02Fwpic.twitter.com/3H7sddKxCX

An article chronicling Weinstein's former ties to Weiner's newest project 'The Romanoffs', as well as Amazon's silence on the allegations against Weiner:
Amazon removed The Weinstein Company from #TheRomanoffs, but removing Matthew Weiner isn't as easy: https://t.co/nX1MJJXO5kpic.twitter.com/s375IMA7zb

So far, Amazon - sole producer of Weiner's latest scripted venture, The Romanoffs, after the Weinstein Company was removed from the project - has not responded to requests for comment. None of the actors associated with Mad Men/Weiner have spoken out yet.
