Harvey Weinstein blames the charges, not himself, for ruining his legacy

Harvey "Whining" Weinstein, 67, bragged about his film industry legacy from a hospital bedside interview after undergoing back surgery. He actually thinks he's the first movie mogul to empower women in spite of the myriad sexual misconduct allegations and upcoming assault trial that robbed women of their power.

"I feel like the forgotten man," the clueless and disgraced film producer told the New York Post on Friday.

"I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker, and I'm talking about 30 years ago. I'm not talking about now when it's vogue. I did it first! I pioneered it."

But he didn't say why he used women so much. He may have used women to direct, but he also directed women to use.

Poor poor Weinstein blamed the dozens of sexual misconduct allegations against him as the reason his career has fallen off.

Yeah, going to prison often has that as a consequence on your career.

"It all got eviscerated because of what happened," Weinstein told the outlet. "My work has been forgotten."

It's also possible that people don't want to deal with his work because it skeeves them out.

Weinstein underwent a spinal surgery last Thursday following injuries he sustained in an August car accident. The Post explained that he agreed to the interview to prove he was not lying about his ailments because he had been seen without his walker when he was supposedly dependent on one.

According to The Post, Weinstein argued that he should not be defined by his alleged criminal acts because it makes him look bad. He's actually a nice guy, see, because he always gives the kids candy later on.

"I want this city to recognize who I was instead of what I've became," he said.

On Jan. 6, Weinstein will go to trial for rape in Manhattan Supreme Court. The disgraced film executive faces up to life in prison for five counts of predatory sexual assault, rape and criminal sex act. If he is found guilty, he will forever more be defined as a POS.

Weinstein previously pleaded not guilty to charges he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on another woman in 2006. He had been free on $1 million bail and maintains that any sexual activity was consensual once he got her down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Weinstein and his former studio, The Weinstein Company, agreed to a $25 million civil settlement with more than 30 of his accusers, according to reports. He denied the opportunity to discuss the settlement or the claims against him in the interview with The Post.

Jeffrey Epstein was unavailable for comment but he didn't commit suicide.
