Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has given a rare interview from inside New York’s notorious Rikers Island — where he says he still sees himself as a victim of the movement that helped bring him down.
The 73-year-old, now in a wheelchair and housed in the jail’s medical unit due to a string of health problems, spoke for an hour about his life behind bars, the allegations against him, and the collapse of the empire he once built in Hollywood. In prison, he says he has been punched, attacked and left bloodied on the floor, claiming other inmates constantly harass and threaten him.
Weinstein admitted he “misled” women and apologised for his behaviour, but again insisted he is “no rapist,” describing himself instead as an “oversexed schmuck who made stupid moves.”
The interview comes after years of legal battles following explosive investigations by The New York Times and The New Yorker in 2017 that exposed allegations from dozens of women and ignited the global MeToo movement.Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has given a rare interview from inside New York’s notorious Rikers Island — where he says he still sees himself as a victim of the movement that helped bring him down.

More than two dozen House Democrats — led by Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin — are demanding a formal investigation into Pete Hegseth after hundreds of U.S. service members reportedly complained that military commanders were promoting end-times Christian ideology as justification for the war with Iran.
The complaints were submitted to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which says it has received more than 200 reports from troops across multiple branches since the conflict escalated. According to the group, some soldiers claim commanders suggested the war had a biblical or apocalyptic purpose and even described Donald Trump as being “anointed by Jesus.”
Lawmakers say the allegations raise serious concerns about religious coercion and politicization inside the U.S. military, and are calling for the Pentagon to investigate whether troops are being pressured with ideological messaging while deployed.More than two dozen House Democrats — led by Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin — are demanding a formal investigation into Pete Hegseth after hundreds of U.S. service members reportedly complained that military commanders were promoting end-times Christian ideology as justification for the war with Iran.

Mark Ruffalo is calling for higher taxes on the wealthy, arguing that billionaires and major corporations should shoulder more of the cost of public programs.
“The rich can handle it… trust me,” Ruffalo said, urging lawmakers to tax billionaires and large corporations to help fund childcare, housing, and public transit. He added that working people shouldn’t be the ones constantly paying the bill while wealth at the top continues to grow.
The actor has long been outspoken on economic inequality, and his latest comments are reigniting debate over whether the U.S. should impose higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy to fund social programs.Mark Ruffalo is calling for higher taxes on the wealthy, arguing that billionaires and major corporations should shoulder more of the cost of public programs. “The rich can handle it… trust me,” Ruffalo said, urging lawmakers to tax billionaires and large corporations to help fund childcare, housing, and public transit.
