Harvey Weinstein, in a rare interview while awaiting the verdict in his New York sex crimes retrial, said he has "regrets" and admits he "acted immorally," but insists his actions were "never illegal."
Speaking on the phone with Fox 5’s “Good Day New York” on Friday, the disgraced filmmaker and convicted sex offender also dismissed the credibility of his accusers, implying they were financially motivated, referencing his lawyer's claim that they had "4 million reasons" to testify.
“I have regrets that I put my family through this, that I put my wife through this, and I acted immorally,” Weinstein told the outlet. “I put so many friends through this and hurt people that were close to me by actions that were stupid, you know what I mean? But never illegal, never criminal, never anything.”
The Manhattan jury remains in deliberations over Weinstein’s case at the time of publication.
