Harvey Weinstein Accuses Brother Bob of Financial Betrayal in Lawsuit


Harvey Weinstein accuses his brother Bob Weinstein of 'looting a burning house' in connection with the collapse of the Weinstein Co. eight years ago.

Harvey Weinstein, who is jailed at Rikers Island and in failing health while he awaits his third rape trial, has filed an unusual lawsuit accusing his brother of siphoning funds from their company prior to its collapse.

Harvey Weinstein, 72, is due in April to face a retrial on rape charges in Manhattan, after the state’s Court of Appeals overturned his initial conviction last year.
