Harvey Weinstein sat down with conservative political commentator Candace Owens for a tell-all interview on-camera from prison, in which the defamed producer maintains his innocence and rebuffs the claims of his Hollywood accusers. Weinstein opens the interview by claiming he was “wrongfully convicted,” denouncing the fact he was twice found guilty of sexual crimes: First in 2020 of a criminal sexual act in the first degree and third-degree rape, and the second in 2022 of rape. His 2020 conviction was overturned in 2024 because the trial judge allowed testimony based on accusations that were not included in the case, a...

An attorney from the nonprofit that pushed to relocate a historic Jesus painting at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York, called the midshipmen who recently cheered its restoration "cowards" and "Christian nationalist insects." Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, accused the young midshipmen of violating their constitutional oath for applauding Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s call to bring the painting up from the basement where it was moved during the Biden administration. Weinstein’s accusations come as a midshipman associated with an on-campus Christian fellowship group explained to The Christian Post...

Harvey Weinstein was seen showing off a toothless grin in court this week at his sex crimes retrial — but the fallen movie mogul says the smile wasn’t from happiness. It was to showcase dental care in the can. “I’m not doing well, I’m in Rikers Island… this is a horrible place, no one should be here...". He said that because the medical care at the facility is so poor, he’s had his teeth pulled by prison medics. (He’s unsuccessfully requested previously to go to his own dentist.) But when Weinstein called us from jail in advance of his retrial,...

Actress Jacqueline Bisset admits she’s “unsympathetic” toward women who came forward during the #MeToo movement and feels that women are partially to blame for any sexual harassment. “I understand as an idea, it’s important that men behave, but I do really think it’s important that women behave, too,” the international actress, 80, exclusively tells Page Six. “I think how you dress, what your subtext is very, very important. It’s very dangerous and not to be played with.” The “Day for Night” star opines that perhaps women are free of any blame if “you don’t know anything about men,” but adds...

WINTERS – Gavin Newsom was asked to comment about Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction being overturned on Thursday, and the California governor didn't mince words. "Harvey Weinstein is a stone-cold predator. He's a rapist, twice convicted. Not once, twice," Newsom said on Thursday. New York's highest court overturned the disgraced Hollywood producer's rape conviction on Thursday and ordered a new trial. The New York Court of Appeals said the judge in the Weinstein case made several improper rulings, preventing the now 72-year-old from getting a fair trial.

Bye-bye Bidens. The Bidens are done. I know, I know, we have reasonable suspicion to believe the Biden crime family will never be held accountable for the treasonous bribes Joe has accepted and passed through to his family of Delaware trash, but remember this: Everyone knew Harvey Weinstein was a pig and no one said a word… Until one person started talking about it… Soon everyone was talking about it… Then cops had no choice but to stop playing dumb and arrest him. That is where the Bidens are now. We all know they took mad stacks to make decisions...

In the murk of the #MeToo movement, Disney, the largest entertainment producer in the world, seemed to come out relatively unscathed. In the years since, the company has fallen over itself to be more inclusive of diversity and women, taking its woke crusade so far that viewers are hard-pressed to find a new film or franchise that doesn't have a face-smacking social justice message. But its squeaky-clean image was soiled this week with the admission by maverick heiress Abigail Disney that not only did the company know about Harvey Weinstein's prolific sexual abuse, it did nothing about it and may...

Not realizing what lay ahead, Weinstein boasted of his support for the forces that were about to devour him. Yet the initial appellate body’s ruling was far from a foregone conclusion. During oral argument in December, that same body expressed grave doubts about whether Weinstein had received a fair trial. One issue concerned Juror 11, a Harvard-educated novelist named Amanda Brainerd. During voir dire, she denied that her debut novel, scheduled to be released a few months after the trial, concerned “predatory older men.” This was a transparent lie, but Brainerd was allowed to remain on the jury. When the...
