Bob Weinstein has branded his brother Harvey "very sick".
The Weinstein Company co-founder his out at the 65-year-old producer - who was fired from their business earlier this week in the wake of a New York Times expose, which claimed he had sexually harassed a number of women over a 30-year period and paid off at least eight to keep their allegations quiet - for his "hollow" apologies and refusal to seek help.
He told TMZ: "My brother Harvey is obviously a very sick man. I've urged him to seek immediate professional help because he is in dire need of it.

"His remorse and apologies to the victims of his abuse are hollow. He said he would go away for help and has yet to do so."
