American director Kevin Smith has promised to give away any future profits from his Harvey Weinstein films after The New York Times unearthed decades of alleged predatory behaviour.

More than 30 women have come forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual harassment and, in some instances, rape. Actors from Angelina Jolie to George Cluney have condemned the disgraced movie mogul, with a long line of directors and producers also voicing their disgust.

Smith, the man behind films such as Jersey Girl and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, has said he is adding his voice to the chorus because he feels he has been indirectly "wrapped up in something really f------ horrible".

Weinstein gave the filmmaker his first big break after purchasing the rights to black comedy Clerks in the 1990s. Speaking on the Hollywood Babble-On podcast, Smith said his entire career has since been "tied up" with the movie mogul.
