Disgraced Hollywood honcho Harvey Weinstein has yanked his Hamptons mansion from the market as the fallout from sexual-assault allegations mounts.
The removal of his seven-bedroom beach mansion in Amagansett, New York, from public listings comes days after his wife, Georgina Chapman, a co-designer behind luxury brand Marchesa, told People magazine she was leaving Mr. Weinstein. A torrent of accusations of sexual misconduct led the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to dump the award-winning producer, who was also fired from his own company, Weinstein Co., earlier this month.

Mr. Weinstein, 65, and Ms. Chapman, 41, put their two-acre estate on Gardiner’s Bay on the market last year for $13.5 million and have chopped the price twice since April. It was listed for $12.4 million until a week ago, when the home disappeared from the market.
Two brokers from Sotheby’s International Realty, Frank Newbold and Beate V. Moore, were marketing the home, which has now been removed from the brokerage’s website and no longer appears on listing sites such as Realtor and Zillow.
While the home is off the public market, it’s possible the estranged spouses are still selling the home as a pocket listing. Sotheby’s and the listing agents did not immediately return a request for comment.

Mr. Weinstein bought the mansion through a limited liability company only three years ago for $11.65 million.
The gated estate encompasses a 9,000-square-foot shingle-style home built in 2000, a heated pool and three-car garage. The main house has a contained two-bedroom staff or guest wing with a separate entrance, according to the now defunct listing with Sotheby’s.

No doubt a legacy from Mr. Weinstein, the home boasts "one of the best screening rooms in the Hamptons" with 3-D capabilities, the listing said.
