17 Notorious, on-the-Record Harvey Weinstein Stories, Starting With That Time He Ate M&M’s Off the Floor


What a psycho. Hillary must have known that, so why did she let him throw the party?

12. A birthday party for Hillary Clinton in October 2000 was prime time for petty feuds: An assistant, supposed to be guarding Harvey’s seat, allowed Jimmy Buffett, Harrison Ford, and E.T. screenwriter Melissa Mathison to sit on the then-Miramax boss’s reserved couch. He was onstage speaking, and the underling let them sit down for a moment. “Furious, but trying to put a good face on it in front of Ford, Mathison, and Buffet, [Weinstein] laughed, and replied, ‘Yeah, it’s your fault, you’re fired!’” He then yelled at the assistant’s managers, who in turn yelled at her some more, calling her stupid. The intern was rehired the next day, reports Down and Dirty Pictures. Later, Weinstein lashed out at the party’s master of ceremonies, Nathan Lane: “He took exception to a silly joke about Mayor Giuliani’s comb-over, and exploded, yelling something like, ‘This is my fucking show, we don’t need you.’ He threw Lane up against a wall.”

Lane was the master of ceremonies for the 53rd birthday party, which also served as a gala for Clinton given she was running for a US senate seat in New York at the time.

Biskind's Down and Dirty Pictures doesn't report on any sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein but it shows in great detail that HW was an abusive, (non-sexually) harassing, exploitative employer who, at least in the '90s, was completely impossible for lots of people to work for. The interesting thing, then, is that with the sexual harassment side of things finally catching up with HW, lots of his star clients, e.g. Streep and Dench, claim not to have heard the sexual harassment rumors and are now acting shocked to find that their friend has feet of clay, etc.. But they always *knew* that HW was a raging a-hole to almost everyone who wasn't at their level, i.e., who wasn't one of Harvey's chosen superstars. You *know* you've made a deal with the devil if you do business with and count as a friend someone who's nice to *you* but a swine to almost everyone else. Moreover Streep, Dench, et al. should really have guessed that someone who's a monster in public in an office at 10 a.m. is unlikely to be a choir-boy in private at night, liquored up and given someone he has some power over.
