Bob Weinstein Claims He Was Physically Assaulted By His Brother Harvey Weinstein

Bob Weinstein has come out to say he’s not in any way defending his brother Harvey Weinstein after he’s been accused of both sexual assault and rape.

“I find myself in a waking nightmare, My brother has caused unconscionable suffering.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bob said he was going to write a note to the Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Science to decide whether to take the unprecedented step of expelling Harvey.

“I was gonna actually write to the Academy, and I will do it. I am gonna write a note to them saying he definitely should be kicked out of the Academy. I have a brother that’s indefensible and crazy. I want him to get the justice that he deserves.”

He claimed that he was verbally and physically assaulted by his brother.

“I was also the object of a lot of his verbal abuse at one time physical abuse. And I am not looking for one bit of sympathy from anyone. I do not put myself in the category at all of those women that he hurt. But it’s a complicated situation when it’s your brother doing the abusing to you as well, Harvey didn’t break my nose, but he got physical and there were several people there, and he assaulted me. And I should’ve done something then.”

He further said, Harvey has no remorse after what he has done, and he hopes he pays for his actions.

“I have spoken to him two times since news broke, hoping to hear ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’ I didn’t hear that. I heard a guy who still was fighting to get back and I was disgusted by it. Do you know how disgusted I am? I divorced my brother five years ago. Literally. And those that know me personally in this company understood how I could not take being around him on any level. And certainly my daughters and my family knew it. I could not take his cheating, his lying and also his attitude toward everyone.”
