Hollywood erupted in outrage last month along with people across the nation after dozens of sexual assault and harassment accusations were brought against famed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
With women taking to social media with “#MeToo,” the scandal has unleashed a tidal wave of response, exposing sexual impropriety in the film industry and beyond.
Hillsong Church Pastor Carl Lentz shared his own take on the scandal during an interview with “The Breakfast Club” last week, stirring up some controversy with his take on the double standard our society is plagued with and the destructive nature of pornography in today’s culture.
Lentz says it’s hypocritical for people to vilify Harvey Weinstein for his sexual immorality when just days prior to the scandal breaking, people were honoring the late Playboy mogul, Hugh Hefner, following his September 27th death.
“It’s interesting — on one hand we honor Hugh Hefner when he passes away — the dude was a pornographer,” Lentz said. “But yet Harvey Weinstein is this demon in culture right now and I said, we’ve got to pick our poison.”
