Washington D.C. [USA], Mar 11 : Newly unsealed court documents have revealed that Harvey Weinstein lashed out at Jennifer ston when a reporter reached out to him in an inquiry for a story in 2017.
According to Variety, in an email on October 31, 2017, Weinstein wrote: "Jen ston should be killed."
He shared this in response to a reporter seeking comment about an untrue allegation that Weinstein had groped ston.
On Tuesday afternoon (local time), Variety reviewed the email at the New York City criminal courthouse. Roughly 1000 pages of documents were unsealed at the courthouse, ahead of Weinstein's sentencing on Wednesday.
The National Enquirer reached out for comment from Weinstein's then-rep Sallie Hofmeister, in 2017.
