Jason Priestley hit Harvey Weinstein

Star of the cult youth series "Beverly Hills, 90210" 48-year-old Jason Priestley has become a new hero for all who want punishment for Harvey Weinstein. The actor was not afraid to get involved in a fight with the all-powerful kinobossom.

Entertaining conversation

The first about the exploit of Jason Priestley was told by Tara Strong, who discussed on Twitter with Mira Sorvino her career, destroyed by Harvey Weinstein. Tara hinted at the incident with the producer, who cost dearly to her good friend Jason in professional terms.

Priestley did not stay away from the dialogue between the two ladies and told how in 1995 he was the guest of Miramax's party, owned by the Weinstein brothers, on the occasion of the Golden Globe ceremony. At the height of the fun, Harvey told the 26-year-old actor that he did not want to see him at the party. When the disheveled Jason was about to retire, the producer asked him why he was leaving, to which the actor reminded him that he had asked him to leave. Harvey clung to his arm and offered to sort out the street, but Jason preferred not to go anywhere and "charged him in the jaw with the right." Security arrived in time. The fighting was separated, and Priestley was thrown out.

Discussing the revelations of the actor, network users are sure that both fighters were pretty drunk, that to the producer, he obviously was looking for someone to arrange sparring, and Jason just was on his way.

Because of Harvey?

The next morning after the scandal at the party Priestley's friends from the cinema world persuaded him to apologize to Weinstein, if not personally, at least in writing, to which Priestley refused.

Do you believe in coincidence? Perhaps this is it, but after the series "Beverly Hills, 90210", where Jason played one of the main roles, he, despite his talent, stopped calling for high-profile projects.
