Harvey Weinstein Claims He’s ‘Not Doing Well’ Behind Bars Amid Recent Court Appearance; Gushes About Candace Ownes

by

This week, during his court appearance, Harvey Weinstein was spotted with a toothless grin that wasn’t due to happiness. Instead, the convicted sex offender explained it as a show of the subpar medical care he’s received at Rikers Island, where several teeth have been extracted from him. Despite his challenging situation, Weinstein continues to be optimistic about an unlikely supporter, conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has publicly advocated for him.

From behind bars at the age of 72, Weinstein referred to Rikers Island as a “terrible facility.” He shared an unsettling experience where prison medical staff had to remove some of his teeth due to inadequate healthcare services. Despite multiple requests, he was not granted permission to see his personal dentist.

As I delve deeper into the world of influential figures, I find myself consistently impressed by the unwavering spirit of Katherine Owens. Recently, she was bestowed with the title “Antisemite of the Year” by StopAntisemitism, yet she continues to assert her innocence through her podcast. While our perspectives may differ, I can’t help but admire her resilience and determination, as I’ve never encountered such grit in my professional endeavors. She’s bound for stardom, that much is clear.

Initially doubtful when Owens came to him, Weinstein mentioned his close relationship with the Anti-Defamation League. “I tried to dissuade her,” he admitted, but was captivated by her thorough investigations. Notably critical of the #MeToo movement, Owens has voiced doubts about Weinstein’s trial verdict, implying a potential politicization in our courtrooms, stating, “Now I find myself questioning if justice itself has been influenced.

The second trial of Harvey Weinstein, accused of rape and sexual misconduct, commences on April 15. He is represented by a group of prominent lawyers, including Arthur Aidala, Jennifer Bonjean, and Michael Cibella. In spite of his ongoing legal disputes, he continues to be involved in the entertainment industry, expressing delight over watching the Oscars and congratulating his ex-wife Georgina Chapman and her partner, Oscar winner Adrien Brody.

In his ongoing appeal of his California conviction, Weinstein shares that he’s been using his time in prison by immersing himself in hundreds of books, including renowned works like “The Catcher in the Rye” and “A Farewell to Arms”. He also mentions that there are still a few movies left within him, though he acknowledges that if released, he’d prioritize spending time with his children. Nevertheless, legal experts predict that any talk of Weinstein returning to Hollywood will take a backseat, with attorney Gloria Allred highlighting that the true focal point will be his upcoming trial. The only potentially dramatic moment, she notes, would occur if Weinstein decides to testify under oath.
