Newly unsealed court documents put Harvey Weinstein’s Rolodex on full display.

The fallen movie mogul - who is now a convicted rapist facing up to 29 years in jail and will be sentenced Wednesday - once tried to save his career by emailing his famous peers, including billionaires, powerful agents and Hollywood titans.

In emails, reviewed by Variety on Tuesday afternoon at the New York City criminal courthouse, where roughly 1,000 pages of documents were unsealed, Weinstein wrote to the likes of Michael Bloomberg, Quentin Tarantino, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Apple’s Tim Cook and Eddy Cue.

The documents made available by the court did not include any responses from these people to Weinstein.

He thought he was bullet proof. Paid off all the right people. There's a parallel between him and Bloomberg. Both of them had been in situations where they called all the shots and everyone pretended every utterance out of their mouths was brilliant.

You look at Cosby, Matt Lauer, and all the others who got away with stuff for years, and just shut down anyone who challenged them, and Weinstein thought the same rules were still in play.
