Another Weiner has been accused of sexual harassment. This time it’s Matt Weiner, liberal Democrat creator of Mad Men. Marti Noxon says that Weiner is an ’emotional terrorist’ who will badger, seduce and even tantrum in an attempt to get his needs met. Yep. Sounds like a liberal Democrat and a Weiner to me.

Marti Noxon is speaking up about Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner and the sexual harassment allegation surrounding him.
In a series of tweets on Friday, the television writer-producer — who formerly worked on the AMC drama as a senior consultant — described Weiner as an “emotional terrorist, who will badger, seduce and even tantrum in an attempt to get his needs met.” She added that “everyone at Mad Men, regardless of gender or position, was affected by this atmosphere.”
Noxon’s tweets come a week after former Mad Men assistant-turned-writer Kater Gordon came out and accused Weiner of sexual harassment. Gordon told The Information that while writing late on the series one night, Weiner said to her that she owed it to him to see her naked. After winning an Emmy for co-writing that episode with Weiner, Gordon was let go from the drama and never worked in Hollywood again.
The Girlfriends Guide to Divorce showrunner made a point to stand behind Gordon and her claims. “I believe her. I was at work with her the day after what she described transpired. I remember clearly how shaken and subdued Kater was — and continued to be from that day on,” Noxon wrote. “Responding to her statement, Matt claimed he would never make that kind of comment to a colleague. But anyone with an even cursory knowledge of the show Mad Men could imagine that very line coming from the mouth of Pete Campbell.”
