Harvey Weinstein sat down with conservative political commentator Candace Owens to conduct a wise interview from prison, where the slandered producer kept his innocence and rejected his Hollywood accusers’ claims.

Weinstein claimed he was a "false conviction" and condemned the fact that he was convicted of sexual crimes twice: the first crime of sexual acts and third-degree rape in 2020, while the second rape was the second. His 2020 conviction was overturned in 2024 because the trial judge allowed testimony based on unincluded charges, which Weinstein repeatedly raised, appears to be evidence supporting his innocence. He described his actions as "error" and asserted that he did not do anything "illegal".

"I hurt my family. I hurt my friends. I cheated on my wife. It was a mistake, you know it was a terrible mistake." "But I didn't commit these crimes. I swear before God and now looking at my family."

He asserted that infidelity was triggered by his work pressure. "Oh, I'm not a good boss," he admitted. "I'm having a hard time, I'm asking for it, I should have been better, but I didn't. I'm frivolous. You know, I should have better control over myself. The pressure of this job is an excuse for me to cheat."

Owens then prompted Weinstein to discuss some of his former accusers, including Gwyneth Paltrow. In 2017, Paltrow claimed that Weinstein invited her into his hotel room, put her hands on her, and cast her money in the 1996 film Emma. The imprisoned Weinstein is called "completely fabricated." Although he admitted that he had "must have passed the pass", he claimed he had "didn't touch her."

"She thought the relationship was abused. Anyone who was there, witnessed the relationship with (Patro) and that just turned into a complete friend," Weinstein said. "When I was sick and in the hospital, there was a picture of her hugging me, and didn't think I would do it in 1999. Gwyneth said at the Golden Globes, 'Bombard, we miss you.' She stood up and gave me a speech.

Weinstein believes that his fall on Paltrow happened because he didn't like Donna Tartt's "secret history" script, Paltrow and her brother Jake Paltrow wrote after choosing the bestseller.

Weinstein also addressed Rose McGowan, who stepped up in a 2017 article in the Bombshell New York Times, claiming that Weinstein paid her $100,000 to remain silent about sexual contact at Sundance Film Festival. This article cites a legal document related to cash that states that the money “should not be interpreted as admission by Weinstein” but is simply to “avoid litigation and purchase peace.”

The money was to ensure that his infidelity to his then-wife Eve Chilton was still a secret, Weinstein said.

"I settled with Rose McGowan," he said. "I gave her $100,000, you know... just don't tell my wife, don't get me in trouble."

As for Weinstein, who has been doing this since the historic decline of the Hollywood royal family, told an apparently sympathetic Owens that he has been helping some of his industry links develop their films from prison.

"I have some friends who are still in the industry who have written me a script and asked me for notes," Weinstein said. "You know, what can I do for this? Can I help? Can I improve? I just give them honest ideas. So I'm not doing anything for me, but I'm doing things for others."

Weinstein is currently in New York trial and is charged with two counts of committing "criminal sex" on first degree and one count of rape in third degree. The allegations stem from the charges of former model Kaja Sokola, former TV production assistant Miriam Haley and actor Jessica Mann.
