He must surely have been up to something. Watched a couple of interviews with this woman yesterday ("Harvey Weinstein Victim Lauren Sivan: 'I Was So Shocked' | MSNBC" and "Harvey Weinstein: ‘I Had A Great Time,’ After Harassing Journalist Lauren Sivan | Megyn Kelly TODAY") and she seemed genuine to me. Not overegging things, hadn't sought a settlement, her finding it "pathetic" sounds authentic and her story is consistent over both interviews. But if he behaved like that, then phoned her the following day as if nothing untoward had happened, it puts a question mark over his interpretation of what is consensual and what isn't.
He was recorded in a police sting in 2015 apparently admitting to touching a woman's breast.

His wife has left him.

He may well attract exaggerated or false allegations from opportunists, but women such as Angelina Jolie or Gwyneth Paltrow surely could not be accused of seeking fame or money by making these claims, as they must have plenty of that already.
NYT: Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Others Say Weinstein Harassed Them
you are falling into a very bad old habit there : that somehow great movie stars must be telling the truth because they are very famous. It's simply not true.
They may have many reasons to attack Weinstein- didn;t get a role, just don't like him etc.
