Harvey Weinstein displayed a toothless grin in court this week, not out of happiness. Instead, he explained that the smile was intended to draw attention to the subpar medical care he’s received at Rikers Island, where several of his teeth were extracted. Despite the challenging conditions, Weinstein appears optimistic about his unusual supporter, conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has openly advocated for him in public.

72-year-old Weinstein, who’s currently incarcerated, referred to Rikers as a “terrible facility,” and he disclosed that the inadequate medical care in prison led to the extraction of his teeth. Despite his requests for permission to see his private dentist, these were turned down.

While showing admiration for Owens, who was recognized as “Antisemite of the Year” by the watchdog group Stop Antisemitism, Weinstein has been defending himself on her podcast. He acknowledged that his views diverge from hers, but praised her as “tough and tenacious,” stating, “I’ve never seen anything like it… she is destined to become a superstar.

Initially doubtful when Owens approached him due to her association with the Anti-Defamation League, Weinstein later admitted he was impressed by her investigative work. He attempted to dissuade her, but she persisted. A critic of the #MeToo movement, Owens has expressed concerns about the political influence in the courtroom regarding Weinstein’s convictions, suggesting they might not be entirely fair.

The upcoming trial for sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein will commence on April 15. A group of prominent lawyers, including Arthur Aidala, Jennifer Bonjean, and Michael Cibella, are representing him in court. In spite of his ongoing legal struggles, Weinstein has expressed interest in the entertainment industry, stating that he enjoyed watching the Oscars and was delighted for his former wife Georgina Chapman and her partner, Academy Award winner Adrien Brody.

As Weinstein carries on appealing his California conviction, he mentions that his time in prison has been spent engrossed in hundreds of books, including timeless works such as The Catcher in the Rye and A Farewell to Arms. He further states that there are still a few movies he believes he can contribute to, though he acknowledges that if released, his main concern would be spending quality time with his children. Nevertheless, legal experts contend that any future trial—rather than a potential Hollywood return—will likely take center stage. Attorney Gloria Allred underscores this point by stating that the most significant event might transpire if Weinstein decides to testify under oath.
