Channing Tatum has announced he is no longer developing a film with The Weinstein Co. about a boy dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse.

The actor was developing Forgive Me Leonard Peacock with The Weinstein Company, but said he was parting ways with the studio in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations against the producer.

Tatum and his producing partner Reid Carolin released a statement saying: "The brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their truth about Harvey Weinstein are true heroes to us."

"They are lifting the heavy bricks to build the equitable world we all deserve to live in.

"Our lone project in development with TWC - Matthew Quick's brilliant book, Forgive Me Leonard Peacock - is a story about a boy whose life was torn asunder by sexual abuse.
