The greatest Hollywood predator in history finally admitted: 'Yes, I offered them a job in exchange for sex'

Film producer Harvey Weinstein, whom many women accused of sexually abusing and raping while one of the most powerful names in the Hollywood industry, allegedly admitted to offering jobs in exchange for sexual relations

It would not be shocking just because Weinstein and the court just a month ago said he "does not feel guilty" about the charges that threaten him and up to 25 years in prison. Weinstein, 66, for which the #MeToo movement - in which women began to talk about sexual abuse (not just) in the film industry - came up - in a statement released by The Spectator, he also says "justification" for what he did.

Recall that Weinstein was accused of at least seventy women for various forms of abuse, including rape. Weinstein in the latest outburst uttered some general horrible things, but soon there was a denial of attorneys, but also a reporter who published it. "I was born as a poor, ugly Jew, and I had to fight for my life to go in some direction. You have a lot of girls, and no one watched me until I became big in Hollywood, "he told reporters Taki Theodoracopoulos. It was about some sort of "conversation" between them.

Then, as Taki wrote, Weinstein added:

"Yes, I offered jobs in exchange for sex, but that's how everyone worked and still everyone works. But never, I never went to work on my wife, "- said the failed producer. Very soon there was a kind of denial of these allegations, when Weinstein's lawyer Ben Brafman told the media that the journalist had misquoted it. Brafman says he was present at the interview.

It was not an interview, but a conversation at a meeting of old friends. Harvey and Taki did not talk about the charges, nor would I allow him to talk about it. We talked about 'old Hollywood, and contrasts in European culture, and I think Taki Harvey can see in that old light. Mr. Weinstein has never said anything about replacing sex for movie roles, I give you a word that he did not say - says Variety of the words of the lawyer.

In order to make things crazy, the denial of communication eventually included the denial of journalist Takija, who said that "it was possible he had misinterpreted the words of Weinstein" and that he had made a mistake. Although it is not possible to know if Weinstein ultimately uttered this What he said, journalist Taki and producer are old friends. Moreover, when the entire scandal over Weinstein's rapist came out to the public, Taki wrote that it was part of the New York Times plan to destroy Weinstein.

He also criticized women who said they were Weinstein's victims, saying "today a woman in America can accuse a man of something and he is automatically sentenced to death." Also, in this text, for which it is no longer possible to know with certainty whether credible, immediately after quoting Weinstein, Taki points out that "he can be called naive or stupid," but that he believes in some way.
