UnNews:Weinstein: I regret getting caught

Monday, October 9, 2017

One little-known fact is that the Academy Award statue adopts this defensive position of hugging itself because it was once sexually harassed by Weinstein.

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has spoken emotionally about revelations over his history of sexual harassment settlements, and has admitted "It feels bad to get caught."

Weinstein, who, as revealed in the New York Times, has settled at least eight sexual harassment cases, said in an interview with Page Six magazine, "I am really sorry for behaving in this way - for the last 50 years. I now accept that I will probably have to go into therapy, own my mistakes, all that kinda crap.

"I know some people are suggesting that if this exposé had never come out, that I would have just continued the way I am for as long as I could. That is only probably true."

Instead, Weinstein is now unlikely to return to prominence in Hollywood, where he produced classics such as Sex, Lies & Videotape, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.

Casting couch expert Joanna Corey told us: "This is every man's nightmare - to be robbed of your multi-million dollar career and your ability to have sex with young women at the tender age of 65."
