InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on October 18, 2017 @ 05:15PM Pin Share Tweet Email Channing Tatum is taking action in the wake of the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein. On Wednesday, the actor took to Facebook to announce that he and partner Reid Carolin will no longer continue to work on the development of Matthew Quick’s book Forgive Me Leonard Peacock into a film with The Weinstein Company. The story is about a boy whose life traumatically changed after being sexually abused. “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,” Tatum wrote on Facebook. “While we will no longer develop it or anything else that is property of TWC, we are reminded of its powerful message of healing in the wake of tragedy. This is a giant opportunity for real positive change that we proudly commit ourselves to,” he said. Weinstein was fired as co-chairman of The Weinstein Company on Oct. 8 and resigned from the board of directors Tuesday.
