Upbeat Harvey Weinstein at Manhattan hospital, a day after sex crimes conviction

NEW YORK - Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was in good spirits on Tuesday, as he accepted visitors while under police guard at a Manhattan hospital, his lawyer said, despite having been convicted a day earlier of sexual assault and rape.

Aidala said Weinstein was “somewhat flabbergasted by the verdict” and “cautiously optimistic” about his eventual appeal. “I almost feel emboldened by Mr. Weinstein’s spirits and his desire to continue to fight these charges,” Aidala added. He quoted Weinstein as saying after the verdict: “I’m innocent. I’m innocent. How can this happen in America?”

Accusers? Not victims?

He was acquitted of the most serious charges. Is he even going to prison? For the most notorious sexual predator of the 21st century it is not a victory until we know the sentence.

one thing is to challenge ,other thing is to be ok in life with failures without compromisng your dignity ,self respect...what you choose ,takes u to be who u r

trust me ,,sometimes u r vulnerable,most of the times it is partners in crime.

Headline should read... Weinstein hides in hospital over fears for his sphincter.

Nurses, watch your backs.

Surely he wants to meet his new roommates.

Its just like I said he's playing up his condition likely to make it possible for a lighter sentence or even a different location for jail housing. He will be put in jail and he will be in a cell. All the money in the world can't save him from going to jail. :)

Hoping he doesn’t die now, but in prison 20 years from now

I'll give him a good pain with a kick in a special place.

Trying to figure out how to upgrade his room at rulers to a suite with a water view.

i hear prisons have medical care too

He should make movies

Bless his heart.

time to try 'chest pains' since no one bought his 'old man using a walker' bit.

Wonder if he ever had chest pain after raping those women?

There may be some truth but my gut says, con artist. A hospital bed is far more preferable to a bunk in a cell.

Oh pahleeze.

every Rose has her scorns

KarmaWorks TheBillAlwaysComesDue

Just anxiety, lock him up.

Bullshit

Epstein part 2

Boofuckinghoo

If he dies the psychopath mobs can have a party.....

He's totally not faking it /s

Play it for all it’s good !! Dizzy ? Yea doc ... vision changes ? Oh hell yea .., weakness in arms ? Yes definitely bad ..

While i wish death on almost no one, i do hope the nurses are a bit rough trying to get the IVs in and taking blood...

uh oh, another jeff epstein about to happen! watch out.

'heartbroken' i'm sure

Weinstein faking chest pain to get out of staying at Rikers.

I see a couple camera malfunctions in his future.

Anxiety attack

Poor guy
