The New York Post‘s Page Six just called me saying Harvey Weinstein has told them he’ll give $1 million to charity if I can produce the Scott Rudin email about HW’s alleged callous treatment of Anthony Minghella’s and Sydney Pollack’s families. Because Harv doesn’t think it exists. Question is, do I get to choose the charity? (UPDATE: As for Scott Rudin, he confirmed to me Monday night that it is his email and claimed that Weinstein’s people pestered him ”to protect Harvey and deny the email and lie to Page Six” — so he said he did “in order to keep peace for the next weeks that the two of us still have to work together on The Reader.“) Here’s the email. I’ve blacked out the recipient of the message as well as SR’s email address:
HARVEY WEINSTEIN VS THE FILM WORLD
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.








Nikki, you are so cool, gutsy and awesome. I hope you will lead the way for more women in Hollywood to grab ‘em by the balls. I know I will =)
Nikki, did you ever know you are my hero…
Some may think one million dollars isn’t much but you obviously haven’t dealt with Harvey Weinstein who would rather slash his own mother’s throat than give someone a penny.
Quite frankly, every time Harvey and Scott do a movie together, I assume body bags will have to be brought in after the first five minutes or pre-production.
Voodoo,
If only the bail out were only $700 million… as opposed to billion…
Used to be a film with the Weinstein name on it would merit SOME assemblence of quality. Now it’s depressing to see his name on anything.
Nail that smarmy puss-bucket!!!!
Ha ha!!!
Well played, Nikki Finke. Well. Played.
Sorry, don’t see any proof here…
Where are the email headers?
All I see is stuff someone could’ve whipped up in Word, or OpenOffice and then printed it.
no email headers = no proof.
Those of you who don’t understand how email works need not respond.
Amazing. This would have never happened if Harvey had used VaporStream.
Give it up to my charity!
I Harvey ran Wall Street, we would be in more of a mess than we are now.
Wow. Slime balls in Hollywood, imagine that.
Dave, you really think they should publish the tech details (headers, etc)? Get a clue.
You… who doesn’t know how the hacks, hackers, law and Hollywood work, need not post.
