RadioOnFire.com - For the first time ever, Harvey Weinstein admitted in an interview that he “offered acting jobs in exchange for sex” — but according to him, “so does everyone.”
“Yes, I did offer [women] acting jobs in exchange for sex,” the disgraced movie mogul told The Spectatorin an interview published Friday. “But so did and still does everyone.”
Weinstein, 66, is facing in life in prison after being accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women. He pleaded not guilty to rape and criminal sex act charges last month and is currently out on $1M bail.
The pervy producer claimed in the Spectator interview, which was conducted by longtime columnist Taki Theodoracopulos, that he “never, ever” forced himself on “a single woman” — but admitted that he often had to use his Hollywood prowess to get girls.
“You were born rich and privileged and you were handsome,” he told Taki. “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.”
Joined by his lawyer Ben Brafman, Weinstein attempted to defend himself during the sit-down — claiming that at least two of his accusers, Rose McGowan and Asia Aregento, were caught lying.
