At least 3 women were kicked out of a bar for confronting Harvey Weinstein

Yes it is.

He’s in the middle of a felony trial, and he’s putting himself in the same positions of trust that he’s being suspected of committing violent crimes in. Shouting at him to get him out of those situations is a very minimal restraint on his behavior. He’s on bail, and the usual recourse is to have him sequestered to avoid risk of physical harm to people.

The scandal isn’t that someone yelled at him to get out of a club, it’s that he was free to walk into a club when the accusations are credible. Your ears burning at the words used to effect public safety is the last consideration, not the first.
