Giant Harvey Weinstein effigy to be burned in London

A 36-foot-tall giant effigy of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein will go up in smoke, flames and then down in ashes as part of a British tradition in London on Saturday night.

The Edenbridge Bonfire Society unveiled the giant figure Wednesday in preparation for Saturday's annual Bonfire Night celebration in London. It's an yearly tradition for Brits in memory of Guy Fawkes' 1605 failed plot to blow up the Parliament.

So, why fry Harvey? The Edenbridge Bonfire Society, which chooses a celebrity Guy to go alongside the traditional effigy of failed plotter Guy Fawkes every year, said the Hollywood mogul was the “overwhelming choice” for 2017.

Weinstein's facing a mountain of sexual assault allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape from more than 50 women.
