Harvey Weinstein Admits Offering Movie Roles for Sex
2018-07-15
[Breitbart] Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein opened up to Greek journalist Panagiotis "Taki" Theodoracopulos in a "world exclusive," detailing how offering sex for movies is and always been common in Hollywood.

"You were born rich and privileged and you were handsome," Weinstein was quoted saying to Theodoracopulos, who said the embattled producer’s attorney, Ben Brafman, was also present during the interview. " I was born poor, ugly, Jewish and had to fight all my life to get somewhere. You got lotsa girls, no girl looked at me until I made it big in Hollywood."

"Yes, I did offer them acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does everyone," Harvey Weinstein said, adding, "But I never, ever forced myself on a single woman."

The interview was published just days after the former Weinstein & Co. boss pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault.

"Mr. Weinstein maintains that all of these allegations are false and he expects to be fully vindicated," Brafman said in a statement last week.

His sit down with Taki was, however, the first on-the-record interview since the New York Times published its bombshell report last October detailing decades of allegations of sexual abuse, harassment, and rape against Weinstein.
