Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 23 Years In Prison With Possible Early Release Due to Suicide

Hillary Clinton awaits us all.

Admitting he was the spark for the whole #MeToo movement, Weinstein then said he was just one of many men "totally confused" by the complaints against them -- saying he even wanted to open a specialist clinic for men who had been accused.

"I really feel remorse for this situation. I feel it deeply in my heart," he told Manhattan Supreme Court.

"I'm really trying to be a better person."

But ultimately, the convicted rapist relied on self-pity as he pleaded for a light sentence before he was sentenced to 23 years.

"I have'’t seen my three older children since the New York Times [and] the New Yorker articles came out," he said of the original reports of his widespread abuse.

"That for me is hell on earth," he whined, saying again later, "I may never see my children again."

Maybe you can get them to talk to you by promising to run a multi-million dollar ad campaign in favor of gun control.

In a related story, last week a jury ruled that disgraced PBS/BET figure Tavis Smiley must pay out PBS $1.5 million due to his harassment of PBS employees.

PBS had fired Smiley, and Smiley sued PBS claiming some kind of racial taint in his firing. (Despite the fact that PBS also fired Charlie Rose.) PBS counter-sued, alleging that Smiley had breached his obligations to the company, specifically, about not sexually harassing PBS employees.
