The Harvey Weinstein courtroom reboot just dropped a plot twist messier than your exβs Instagram story.
The 73-year-old former King of Creepy has officially been found guilty (again!)βthis time of committing a criminal sexual act in a retrial that felt like the worst sequel no one asked for. Yes, heβs still out here collecting convictions like PokΓ©mon cards.
π©ββοΈ According to the latest tea spilled in NYC court, the jury said βYEP!β to Weinstein assaulting Miriam Haley (same queen who testified back in 2020), but said βnah, weβre goodβ on the charges involving Kaja Sokola. And for Jessica Mann? The jury pulled a βcanβt relateβ and gave us a full-on reality TV cliffhanger. Theyβll be back for more drama on Thursday like itβs the season finale of Law & Order: SVU: Maximum Menace Edition.
And of course, Harvey had thoughtsβ’. In court, he tried to guilt-trip the judge like a washed-up villain in a bad soap opera. He whined, βThis is my LIFE!β and dramatically accused the court of endangering him. Babe, the only thing youβre in danger of is missing lunch at Rikers.
Letβs not forget, his 2020 convictions were overturned in April 2024, which is honestly insane considering he was already sentenced to 23 years. Like, who is ghostwriting his appealsβOlivia Pope?? That trial also included Miriam and Jessicaβs stories, which they both repeated in this go-round like theyβre stuck in a horror movie franchise that just. wonβt. end.
Oh, and Kaja? She came through with receipts for the first time. She told the court that Weinstein assaulted her in 2002 when she was 16, and again in 2006 at a hotel. Spoiler alert: she was previously referred to as βComplaining Witness No. 3,β which sounds like a tragic character from Squid Game: Sexual Assault Court Edition.
BUT WAIT! Heβs not just dealing with this mess. King Creep is already locked up in California serving 16 more years for a 2022 rape conviction. So like, Harveyβs not going anywhere. Except deeper into prison. Possibly with a Netflix docuseries in 3… 2… 1…
TL;DR: Weinsteinβs still trash, the justice system is slow but occasionally delivers, and the courtroom saga continues. This ainβt overβbut our patience sure is.
