Celebrity

The disgraced movie mogul was visiting a Paradise Valley resort with his sober coach for dinner when a man slapped him in the face twice.

AceShowbiz - This man did what supporters of Harvey Weinstein's alleged victims may want to do when they meet the former movie producer. A video surfaces showing the man slapping the disgraced movie mogul during an encounter at a Paradise Valley resort Tuesday night, January 9.

According to TMZ which obtained the video, Weinstein and his sober coach were eating dinner at Elements restaurant at the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley around 9 P.M. when the man named Steve at an adjacent table asked to take a photo with him. Steve tells TMZ Weinstein was belligerent and said no, while a restaurant manager says Weinstein was "sweet" and politely declined.

When Weinstein and his sober coach got up to leave, the attacker told his friend to start filming what was about to happen. The man was seen in the video saying, "You're such a piece of s**t for what you did to these women," and giving Weinstein two backhanded slaps to the face. Steve claims he had "quite a bit to drink."

Weinstein's representative Sallie Hofmeister tells The Arizona Republic in an email that TMZ's report was accurate, but would not provide further comment. The site reports that Weinstein declined to call police and left the restaurant. The Paradise Valley Police Department also says no report has been filed regarding the incident, but if Weinstein were to file a report, the department would investigate it as a misdemeanor assault.

Weinstein is reportedly undergoing rehab through the exclusive Meadows center in Wickenburg. He has been staying under the radar after many women came forward with sexual abuse allegations against him. Among the alleged victims were Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne, Lea Seydoux, Lupita Nyong'o and Lena Headey.

The 65-year-old former movie producer has since been fired from The Weinstein Company and is now a subject of investigations in several jurisdictions.
