Disgraced Hollywood super-producer Harvey Weinstein, who is currently in the midst of a retrial for his previous rape convictions, appeared in court this week sporting a less-than-dazzling smile, missing several teeth. Speaking to Page Six from prison, he explained that because medical care at Rikers Island is so poor, he had to have several teeth pulled by prison medics after requests to see his own dentist were refused. He added, “I’m not doing well, I’m in Rikers Island… this is a horrible place, no one should be here.” Bizarrely, Weinstein also took time during his call with the paper to praise far-right figure and known antisemite Candace Owens, whom he described as “tough and tenacious.” Just last month, Owens revealed on a livestream that she had been communicating with Weinstein, whom she described as an “immoral man” but who nonetheless may have fallen victim to a “politicized” criminal justice system as a result of movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
