"Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn't want a friendship. He wanted more than that," Segel told Variety. "My hope is that 'no' is enough from now on."
Bob Weinstein's lawyer, Bert Fields, also told Deadline that they are in possession of emails disproving the allegations. "There is no way in the world that Bob Weinstein is guilty of sexual harassment, and even if you believed what this person asserts there is no way it would amount to that," Fields said.
The Weinstein Company already fired Harvey Weinstein after his sexual harassment scandal came to light. Bob Weinstein later admitted in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he knew about his brother's behavior, but only to a certain extent.
"I actually was quite aware that Harvey was philandering with every woman he could meet," he said. "I was sick and disgusted by his actions. But that's the extent of what [I knew]."
