Harvey Weinstein CBE (born March 19, 1952) is an American former film producer. He and his brother Bob Weinstein co-founded the entertainment company Miramax, which produced several successful independent films, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Heavenly Creatures (1994), Flirting with Disaster (1996), and Shakespeare in Love (1998).
Weinstein won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare in Love, and garnered seven Tony Awards for a variety of plays and musicals, including The Producers, Billy Elliot the Musical, and August: Osage County. After leaving Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob founded The Weinstein Company, a mini-major film studio. He was co-chairman, alongside Bob, from 2005 to 2017.

In a risky move, the Oscar winner’s Werkman Jackson & Quinn attorneys are putting the credibility of Jane Doe #1 and the LA County District Attorney’s office at the heart of their attack “By her own admission to the prosecutors, Jane Doe 1 lied when she testified under oath that the extent of her relationship with Mr.
Vicedomini was only that of friends and coworkers,” the motion filed today in LA Superior Court says of the Weinstein accuser and the Italian TV host and festival organizer (read it here). “The defense, again, pleaded with the Court to admit her admission and the February 12, 2013 Facebook messages because, at a minimum: 1) evidence of their sexual relationship showed that both she and Mr.
Vicedomini lied to the jury, 2) their romance establishes that Mr. Vicedomini would not be inclined to provide his lover’s room number to Harvey Weinstein, and 3) the full context would have made the defense’s theory that Jane Doe 1 was actually with Pascal at his hotel on the night of the alleged rape more plausible to the jury,” the document added.
