As film producer Harvey Weinstein became society’s latest scourge, Apple reportedly canceled two series produced by the company that used to employ him.

Yet on “Saturday Night Live,” Cupertino couldn’t quite get away from Weinstein, disgraced and kicked out of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Saturday after a series of sexual harassment allegations.

On the Weekend Update segment of the show, Colin Jost began: “Apple has announced that it is adding hundreds of new emojis to its iOS system, including a person at a spa, a vomiting face and a shushing finger — finally giving emoji fans the ability to describe what it was like to work with Harvey Weinstein.”
