Corden responded to the backlash by taking to Twitter to write: "To be clear, sexual assault is no laughing matter. I was not trying to make light of Harvey’s inexcusable behavior... but to shame him, the abuser, not his victims. I am truly sorry for anyone offended, that was never my intention."
In recent days, Harvey Weinstein has been expelled from The Academy and BAFTA. His wife has left him. He has also been fired from his company.
