For doubters, just watch Entourage

Anyone who thinks that Weinstein's treatment of Duffy was unique to Duffy, just watch the first several seasons of Entourage. Based on Mark Wahlberg's true life experiences during his early years in Hollywood, there are some fictionalized re-enactments with a Weinstein-like character who basically does the exact same thing to the show's main character. This kind of thing happens in Hollywood all the time - buying scripts without any intention of producing them, or shelving completed films - but fortunately for us Duffy and his pals had the foresight to document the whole experience. This is a brilliant and historical work that in actuality has little to do with Duffy and his supposed arrogance, and everything to do with the way that Hollywood abuses aspiring writers and filmmakers.
