Harvey Weinstein’s pathetic meltdown as he jets off to £30,000-a-month sex rehab clinic
HARVEY Weinstein had yet another meltdown in front of paparazzi and reporters as the saga surrounding his alleged sex abuse rages on.
The embattled movie mogul broke down and pleaded with reporters telling them "we all make mistakes".
At least 30 women have accused the producer of being sexually inappropriate towards them with allegations ranging from groping to rape.
In footage obtained by Weinstein can be seen pleading with paps as he left his daughters LA home.
As he was getting into a car bound for the airport he told photographers: "I'm not doing OK but I'm trying. I gotta get help. We all make mistakes - a second chance I hope."
He was reportedly heading for a £30,000-a-month rehab centre in Arizona to seek treatment for sex addiction.
This undignified outburst followed an earlier incident where he staggered into the road and tried to flag down a passing car after his worried daughter told cops he is "suicidal".
The movie producer was heard screaming "you're making it worse" after he stormed out of her LA home on Wednesday, reports.
The 65-year-old rushed to comfort 22-year-old Remy because she was "very upset and concerned for her father", reports.
The pair reportedly had a row and he stormed out of the house - causing her to call cops telling them her dad was "suicidal and depressed" as sexual abuse claims from Hollywood A-listers mounted against him.
She later had a change of heart and told officers he was not at risk of self harm after Weinstein came back to her home.
A friend told Page Six: "Remy overreacted at the situation, out of love and concern for her father, and called the police, telling them he was depressed and suicidal.
"This situation is of course very hard for Harvey, but he is not suicidal — his heart is breaking for his kids.”
The LAPD confirmed that officers responded to a call for someone who was suicidal and depressed.
