Goodfellas actor Paul Sorvino says he would kill disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who allegedly blacklisted his daughter, actress Mira Sorvino, after she refused his sexual advances.
“If I meet (Weinstein) on the street…he oughta hope that he goes to jail, because if we come across, I think he’ll be lying on the floor, somehow, magically,” Paul Sorvino, 65, told TMZ.
He added, “He’s going to go to jail. Oh yeah. That son of a [expletive]. Good for him if he goes, because if not, he has to meet me. And I will kill the mother[expletive]. Real simple.”
In a column published by Time magazine on Oct. 11, 2017, Mira Sorvino detailed her experiences with the powerful studio head, saying she “lived in vague fear of Harvey Weinstein for over 20 years.” During a New York Times, Mira Sorvino’s ex-boyfriend, director Quentin Tarantino, said she had told him about unwelcome advances and touching by Weinstein in 1995. Tarantino said he had failed to consider whether there was a larger pattern of abuse. Though he continued to hear alarming stories over the years, he proceeded to make film after film with Weinstein.
“What I did was marginalize the incidents,” said Tarantino, adding he wrote them off as mild misbehavior. “Anything I say now will sound like a crappy excuse.”
Weinstein has been accused of harassing or assaulting 60 women, resulting in at least one federal lawsuit and three criminal investigations.
