Harvey Weinstein lashes out at celebrity accusers in new jailhouse interview:
By Emily Crane
Harvey Weinstein has turned on his celebrity accusers during a prison interview airing Tuesday – while admitting to making a creep “pass” at Gwyneth Paltrow and paying off Rose McGowan to keep his secrets.
The disgraced movie mogul, who is currently in the middle of a high-profile rape retrial in Manhattan, gave his first on-camera interview to conservative podcaster Candace Owens since his initial arrest seven years ago to cry about his conviction.
The ailing 73-year-old took aim at a handful of his A-lister accusers, including Ashley Judd as well as Paltrow and McGowan.

In a one-minute teaser clip from the interview that’s set to air in full Tuesday, Weinstein claims he did not “commit these crimes” and swears “it before God and on the people watching now and on my family.”
He denied ever touching Paltrow — but copped that he “definitely made a pass” at her.

“It’s a complete fabrication about my relationship with Gwyneth. I didn’t put my hands on her. I didn’t touch her,” he said.

At the height of the #MeToo movement, Paltrow came forward to accuse Weinstein of preying on her on the set of several of his films.
She accused him of inviting her to his hotel room, putting his hands on her and even suggesting a massage after she was cast in the 1996 film “Emma.”
He also took aim at McGowan, who alleged the Hollywood bigwig orally raped her after she was cast in “Scream” back in 1997.
“I settled with Rose McGowan,” he admitted. “I gave her $100,000, don’t tell my wife, don’t get me into trouble. It’s all conflated, and it’s all led to the idea that I’m going to be the one they persecute.”
Weinstein married fashion designer Georgina Chapman in 2003 but they divorced in 2021 when he was hit with the barrage of sex abuse and rape allegations.
Meanwhile, Weinstein bluntly dismissed Judd’s claims as “ridiculous.”

Once a Hollywood heavy-hitter, Weinstein became a symbol of sexual misconduct in 2017 after scores of women started accusing him of sex pest behavior — fueling the #MeToo movement.
He was later convicted of various sex crimes in both New York and California.
Weinstein is on trial again in the Big Apple after an appeals court found last year that his New York trial was tainted by prejudicial testimony and overturned that conviction.
He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 25 years behind bars if re-convicted.
