The victims of convicted sex offender and ex-movie producer Harvey Weinstein would often find him appalling and repellent, mainly due to his bad hygiene and "deformed intersex genitalia," author Ken Auletta asserted in his new book 'Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence' cited by Fox News.
The book features some graphic descriptions of Harvey's less-than-attractive features, which were provided to the author by some of his alleged victims. Among such descriptions are claims that Weinstein smelled of "poop" and had blackheads across his back with an "uncomfortable" texture.
The one who claimed that Weinstein's genitalia is "deformed and intersex" was Jessica Mann, who delivered her bombshell testimony in a New York courtroom in 2020.
"Harvey had some notion in his head that his body was attractive," Auletta told Fox News Digital. "[Based on the accounts], he really thought he was God’s gift, a Don Juan."
Auletta described Weinstein as a "beast" who did not see anything wrong with how he treated women. According to the disgraced movie producer, the author suggested, those were all "consensual affairs", with women wanting something from him (roles), and him wanting something from them (sex).
Weinstein's colleagues, Auletta said, were scared to expose him because they feared the movie mogul would "attack or castigate" them.
Last year, the disgraced movie executive was extradited to California, where he is awaiting trial on charges that he assaulted several women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2013. In 2020, he was sentenced to 23 years behind bars for raping an actress in 2013 and sexually assaulting a production assistant at his apartment in 2006.
