#HarveyWeinstein gave his first interview in eight years to conservative podcaster
#CandaceOwens on Tuesday, defending himself over a videoconference link from Rikers Island prison where the disgraced movie mogul is being held as he undergoes retrial for rape and sexual assault.
Wearing a dark suit and crisp white dress shirt, Weinstein reiterated his innocence to Owens, who has recently supported the “Pulp Fiction” producer as he fights multiple charges in a Manhattan courtroom for a second time.
“I just wanted to say that I’m not angry, but I’m angry at the system,” Weinstein said to kick off the 20-minute interview, an unusual move for an inmate in the middle of a criminal trial. “You know, my situation was transactional, you know, looking back at it.”
