After years of using his power and position to get his jollies off on countless impressionable young women and Hollywood hopefuls, major film producer and disgusting pervert Harvey Weinstein met his match. He tried to get with the wrong actress and learned a painful lesson. Rather than doing him a sexual favor, an actor did everyone in America a big favor at cold clocked Weinstein, knocking that smug smirk right off his face.
It’s no surprise that Weinstein hasn’t been seen recently, avoiding every camera, reporter, and red carpet when he used to never miss the spotlight. After derailing so many women’s careers by abusing his position in Tinsel Town, his history of creeping on actresses finally caught up to him as droves of victims came forward with their harrowing tales of abuse they endured from this monster. Now, we’re learning that the face that’s been plastered all over the place in recent weeks got a smacked by a popular actor you may not have known was such a badass.
Too Fab reports:
“Beverly Hills, 90210” star Jason Priestley once hit one of the most hated men in Hollywood.
The actor revealed he got into it with Harvey Weinstein at a Golden Globes party back in 1995, after chiming in on a Twitter conversation on how the disgraced mogul blacklisted Mira Sorvino back in the day.
It began with Sorvino commenting on Peter Jackson saying people at Miramax had talked him out of using the her and Ashley Judd in his “Lord of the Rings” movies. Looking back, Jackson said “I realize that this was very likely the Miramax smear campaign in full swing,” after both actresses had turned down Harvey’s advances.
Just seeing this after I awoke, I burst out crying. There it is, confirmation that Harvey Weinstein derailed my career, something I suspected but was unsure. Thank you Peter Jackson for being honest. I’m just heartsick https://t.co/ljK9NqICbm

Actress Tara Strong then responded to the tweet, writing, “Heartbreaking….wouldn’t be surprised if this happened to my good friend @Jason_Priestley who punched Weinstein in the face at a club one night. Go Jay.”
That prompted some of her followers to ask if there was “More to the story,” with Priestley responding with a play-by-play of what happened.
Of course there is more to the story… ‘95 Golden Globes… at the Miramax Party… Harvey told me I had to leave… I was leaving when he grabbed me by the arm and said “ what are you doing?” I said “ you told me leave, I’m leaving”

“I didn’t say you had to leave” he replied. “You just told me to leave… right over there” I tell him once again. Getting heated now. He then grabs me tighter and says “why don’t we go outside and talk about this”. That was all I needed to hear,

“I’m not going anywhere with you” I said as I pushed him back and punched him with a right hand to his face. Suddenly, there were security guards pulling us apart and I was escorted out of the party…

Priestley wasn’t the only one in Hollywood who hated Weinstein as much as every woman in town, fellow filmmaker James Cameron reportedly almost got it a brawl with the pervert at the Oscars. Sounds like Weinstein has been rubbing all of Hollywood the wrong way for years and karma has now caught up with him with being ousted by everyone he victimized. He got what he deserved for derailing people’s careers who wouldn’t hook up with him.
