Harvey Weinstein Attacked at Arizona Restaurant

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was attacked Tuesday while eating dinner at an Arizona restaurant.

According to TMZ, Weinstein was dining at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort’s Elements restaurant in Scottsdale when the incident occurred.

The man who attacked Weinstein, known as Steve, told TMZ that he initially approached the producer to compliment his films and request a photograph.

Steve said “Weinstein became belligerent” in response and “told him to buzz off.” The manager of Elements refuted Steve’s account, stating Weinstein was “very sweet about it” and shook Steve’s hand after declining the picture.

While attempting to leave at around 9 PM, Weinstein, who was attending dinner with his “sober coach,” was confronted by Steve and a companion.

Steve, who told TMZ that he had “quite a bit to drink” at that point, says he asked his friend to pull out his cellphone and begin filming.
