Harvey Weinstein has officially been banned for life from the Producers Guild of America after being accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, the organization announced Monday.

The PGA’s board of directors began the process of terminating Weinstein’s membership two weeks ago, and the guild’s constitution gave him an opportunity to respond before a final verdict would be rendered Nov. 6. Instead of doing so, he chose to resign his membership, the guild said.

“In light of Mr. Weinstein’s widely reported behavior — with new reports continuing to surface even now — the Producers Guild’s National Board has voted unanimously to enact a lifetime ban on Mr. Weinstein, permanently barring him from PGA membership,” the organization said in a statement. “This unprecedented step is a reflection of the seriousness with which the Guild regards the numerous reports of Mr. Weinstein’s decades of reprehensible conduct. Sexual harassment can no longer be tolerated in our industry or within the ranks of Producers Guild membership. As stated previously, the PGA’s Officers and National Board of Directors have created the Anti-Sexual Harassment Task Force specifically charged with researching and proposing substantive and effective solutions to combat sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.”
