Geena Davis Institute Scrubs Harry Cook From Website After Backlash

Yesterday I exposed how antisemitic terror-supporter and Z-list actor Harry Cook appeared on the Geena Davis Institute website as a team member. As I wrote, the page on which he appeared laughably stated:

With a large online following of over 200,000 followers across all his social media, plus over 2.7million monthly views on TikTok, Harry uses his platform to share a message of peace, love and LGBTQI+ representation whenever he can.

I also surmised that the Geena Davis Institute would not “be comfortable keeping on board a man who openly spews hatred, glorifies violence against Zionists, and casually uses homophobic slurs while claiming to spread “peace, love and LGBTQI+ representation.””

After they were contacted by me and many others following my post, my prediction proved correct. The Geena Davis Institute did show themselves to be highly uncomfortable with Harry Cook’s conduct.

They flushed the page down the memory hole.

No statement of regret, nor condemnation of his words and actions. Just wiping away evidence of any association.

But it gets worse than that.

In the comments to my Instagram post, they:

  • Dismissed our concerns, stating that Harry is not a member of their team and that his comments are his own
  • Suggested he was never part of their team, and that the screenshot of him appearing on the website was fabricated

Unfortunately for them, they seem to not understand how Google indexing and web arching works. Not to mention screenshots, and the fact many of you already clicked through to the page yesterday and saw with your own eyes how he appeared on their website.

If you Google ‘harry cook geena davis institute’, you can still see the page appears in the search results:

It was also archived here.

I had also taken a screenshot with the URL clearly showing. Because this is not my first rodeo.

As for Harry Cook, the narcissist has not responded to my post as he usually would. I am guessing he was told to shut the f up until this dies over.

To be clear, I am not accusing Geena Davis herself of this conduct. I highly doubt she is running their socials and website. But whoever is needs to take ownership.

The internet remembers. Google remembers. Archives remember. Screenshots remember. And so do the many people who saw Harry Cook proudly sitting on their website before the panic-driven cleanup operation began.

You do not get to erase history by clicking delete, and you certainly do not get to gaslight the very people who caught you in the act.

The Geena Davis Institute’s motto is “If she can see it, she can be it.” Well, we all saw it, and now they are pretending it never existed.
