Harvey Weinstein’s Friend Of 30 Years Lets Him HAVE It

A few days back, Weinstein wrote a pathetic letter, begging his Hollywood buddies to stick by his side.

My board is thinking of firing me. All I’m asking, is let me take a leave of absence and get into heavy therapy and counseling. Whether it be in a facility or somewhere else, allow me to resurrect myself with a second chance. A lot of the allegations are false as you know but given therapy and counseling as other people have done, I think I’d be able to get there.

 

I could really use your support or just your honesty if you can’t support me.

 

But if you can, I need you to send a letter to my private gmail address. The letter would only go to the board and no one else. We believe what the board is trying to do is not only wrong but might be illegal and would destroy the company. If you could write this letter backing me, getting me the help and time away I need, and also stating your opposition to the board firing me, it would help me a lot. I am desperate for your help. Just give me the time to have therapy. Do not let me be fired. If the industry supports me, that is all I need.

 

With all due respect, I need the letter today.

He needs the letter TODAY. (Although again, that was from a few days ago).

The Weinstein Company fired him Sunday. This is clearly all Bob’s fault.

Jeffrey Katzenberg– Harvey Weinstein’s friend of 30 years– was absolutely disgusted by the letter and penned a scathing response. This is what he sent back to Weinstein. He made the letter public.

Hey Harvey, Here is the bottom line. You stated in your email below that “A lot of the allegations are false as you know.” Well actually I don’t “know” and given the timing of the circumstances, I have no way of knowing.

 

However, you yourself, in your quotes, have acknowledged that you have behaved inappropriately…so it seems to me we are now down to degrees of horrible.

 

You have done terrible things to a number of women over a period of years.

 

I cannot in any way say this is OK with me…It’s not at all, and I am sickened by it, angry with you and incredibly disappointed in you.

 

There appear to be two Harvey Weinsteins…one that I have known well, appreciated and admired and another that I have not known at all.

 

As someone who has been a friend of yours for 30 years, I’m available to give you advice on how to at least try to make amends, if possible address those that you’ve wronged, and just possibly find a path to heal and redeem yourself. Having watched your reactions, seen the actions you have taken and read your statement, I will tell you, in my opinion, you have gone about this all wrong and you are continuing to make a horrible set of circumstances even worse.

 

I doubt this is what you want to hear from me and most likely you aren’t interested in my advice but this is the way I see it. I remain available. JK.

“JK.”

Best. Ending. Ever.
