Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein injured himself in Rikers Island jail when he fell while trying to walk on his own, according to a Page Six report.

Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer told the New York Post Post gossip section that Weinstein fell on his head Saturday and may have suffered a concussion as a result.

Weinstein, 67, had a heart procedure last Wednesday during which doctors inserted a stent, Engelmayer told CNN. He was moved Thursday to the infirmary unit at Rikers Island, New York's main jail complex, Engelmayer said.

He's expected to be sentenced March 11 in New York State Supreme Court. He faces a minimum of five years and a maximum of more than two decades in prison

He might want to figure out a way to buy some protection in the joint. A guy with that much money and an obnoxious attitude is going to be a target from day one.

He was an ass....and. A lefty and culture destroyer with open disdain for Christianity

But al lot of this smells of witch-hunt

One of my. Best pals makes movies in Hollywood

He’s not Michael Bay level producer but he has used A list people

He hosted Miramar events at a club he owned

He said Harvey was ok but very demanding

He also said from what he knows of these women some of whom he knows and bedded as well

Is that they will do anything for a part.....and that was the fruit Weinstein used to have sex with some damn good looking women

But women who for the most part had no moral high ground

Does that mean they were not raped....I’m ambivalent

Judging by their behavior afterwards I’d say most were not

Did they screw a repulsive compulsive sexual predator for movie roles and did he take liberties beyond appropriate behavior....hell yes

I don’t see Harvey as Cosby

“Make this legal...Offer him a .45 with a single bullet. if he wants to end it then he can at any time.”

I can see the competency of this. The accident he may have had was a rope burn when it slipped over and off his head. Knot wasn’t tight enough. Hard to find good help.

No matter what anyone says, these days... Our "legal" system has become one of "the seriousness of the charge" and not the veracity of the claims that sways the jury.

This is dangerous. While we may be putting more bad people in jail, we are also putting a lot of innocent people who didn't know how to play the system in jail as well.

Look at the.ell given President Trump when he described what some women do to just get close to celebrities. I have no doubt Harvey is not alone in demanding sex, as means and methods to become a star... Harvey never calculated his conquests would turn on him. Obviously, his wife believed his accusers, she dumped him..

I am not one who only sees females as whores..Harvey is as big a whore as all the women he required sex. Not one of the women that testified against him described sex with him was an activity they enjoyed. It was a cost to have a hope and prayer to land a job. It seems there were plenty of job seekers, there was no reason for Harvey to force himself on anyone..

Put him in Gen Pop; that’ll give him a real injury. I have no sympathy for this fat Hollyweird leech.

Ah, Harvey’s lawyers did not deny the dates and times made by the accusers.. what they did was attempt to make the acts accused, appear to be consensual acts. Harvey got sloppy and believed he was ‘god’.

Harvey Weinstein was given a fair trial and convicted of rape by a jury of his peers who had access to all the evidence, not just the parts that were released to the public by his buddies in the lamestream media. If he believes he was wrongly convicted he has the right to appeal just like any other US citizen.

Good enough for a jury, good enough for me. Harvey Weinstein is guilty as sin. Surely FReepers can find worthier causes to advocate for men’s rights than this sad sack of feces.

I believe in the essential justice of our legal system. The alternative, vigilante justice, is even worse for men accused of rape.
