Weinstein jeered at actors’ showcase

Harvey Weinstein was mocked from the stage and jeered by attendees at a New York City actors showcase this week — a rare public appearance for the disgraced movie mogul ahead of his January rape trial.

A comedian at Wednesday’s “Actor’s Hour” referred to Weinstein during her set as “the elephant in the room,” likened him to horror villain Freddy Krueger and said she “didn’t know we had to bring our own Mace and rape whistles” to the event.

An actor tried questioning Weinstein, and another attendee shouted that he was a “monster.” Both people were told to leave the Manhattan bar where the event took place, while comedian Kelly Bachman’s commentary drew boos from some in the audience and one person yelled “shut up.”

Weinstein, 67, faces a January trial in Manhattan on charges he raped a woman in a hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006. He maintains any sexual activity was consensual.

Weinstein, free on $1 million bail, is subject to electronic monitoring and limited to travel in New York and Connecticut.

Weinstein’s representatives said in a statement that the producer went to “Actor’s Hour” with friends, “trying to find some solace in his life that has been turned upside down” and that the outbursts were rude and uncalled for.

Spokesman Juda Englemayer added in an email Friday that Weinstein was “being treated as if he has been convicted.”

“Due process is still the foundation of each and every one of our civil rights in this country,” he said.
