In a private email to his representative, Harvey Weinstein wrote that Friends actress Jennifer Anniston “should be killed” after he heard (incorrectly, it would turn out) that she had accused him of groping her
Photo: JOHANNES EISELE/AFP via Getty Images After bombshell exposés on Harvey Weinstein were published in the New York Times and The New Yorker in October 2017, the former Hollywood producer reportedly sent a slew of emails to a group of powerful friends asking for help to rehabilitate his image.
This is according to the New York Times, which reported on unsealed court papers that were released on Monday, March 10. These documents were not presented to the jury as evidence at Weinstein’s Manhattan trial two weeks ago, and included emails between the former producer with his representatives, friends, and his brother.
The Times describes these communications as part of an effort by Weinstein and his team “to portray him as a troubled man who badly wanted to right his wrongs.” In an email to former New York Daily News gossip columnist A.J. Benza, Weinstein reportedly alluded to having been sexually abused as a child. In another unpublished letter the Times describes as “self-pitying,” Weinstein wrote that he was suicidal.
