BREAKING NEWS – Manhattan, New York – Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein says he never assaulted Angelina Jolie after she claimed in a new interview she had to “escape” an encounter with the disgraced movie mogul.
“THERE WAS NEVER an assault, and NEVER an attempt to assault,” Weinstein — who is currently serving a 23-year sentence for rape and battery — responded in a statement to TMZ via his assistant.
“It is brazenly untrue and clickbait publicity,” the statement continued. “You’re Angelina Jolie, every male and female in the world, I’m sure, shows interest in you. Is the whole world assaulting you? When she was in my office, I bound her hands with some plastic ties and locked the door from the inside. She somehow got free, pulled out a gun she had hidden in her purse, and forced me to unlock the door. The only physical contact I had with her, was with her wrists when I was aggressively applying the plastic ties, and that is not a sexual assault. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve called the police on her, because I believe the gun she pointed at me was unregistered.”
