Harvey Weinstein, who just pleaded not guilty to rape and criminal sex assault charges last month, is easily one of the least popular men in America right now. Even if the disgraced producer miraculously manages to avoid jail time — his career, his family is gone, and nobody feels particularly bad about it.
But even before his alleged crimes were exposed, rumors of Weinstein’s so-called “casting couch” (which was apparently a polite way of saying “sexual assault”) were the worst kept secret in Hollywood and his seedy reputation well-known. To get a feel how low-key disliked Weinstein was, allow us to turn our attention to this story compliments of Sons of Anarchy star Ron Perlman.
On Monday, Perlman retweeted journalist Lauren Duca, who had slammed President Trump for publicly attacking the Red Hen restaurant in Lexignton for turning away Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier that morning.
“This is an undeniable abuse of power, and also there are vengeful Yelp reviews that are more qualified to be president,” she wrote, to which Perlman added his two cents.
On the bright side however, their stock is poised to go through the roof! Thanks lil donnie! https://t.co/m5mVz8utBs

And then, out of absolutely nowhere, Perlman offered up a story about having peed all over his own hand before being introduced to Weinstein — to give him a “yellow handshake,” if you will — presumably to suggest that fast food employees employ the same tactic when handling Trump’s food.
Who cares if it makes sense, because we’re extremely here for this story.
Did I ever tell ya about when Harvey Weinstein told me to make sure I shook his hand at a charity event, so I stopped in the mens room and pissed all over my hand, then went straight up to him on the receiving line? I think about that every time lil donnie opens up his KFC.

And then (then!!) it got even better, when Donald Trump Jr. jumped into the fray to defend his dear old dad, which went about as well as it ever does — which is to say not well at all.
So you knew he was a rapist and rather the actually do something or say anything you pissed all over your hand??? Imagine how many assaults on innocent women you could have prevented if you weren’t a coward. https://t.co/EvA7bou2bg

Hey young don, nice ta meetcha! And thanks for the follow! So…
I never said I knew Harve was a rapist. I never worked for Harve. I wasn’t home his type. I DID know he was a prick though. A prick and a bully. And I gotta thing about that. https://t.co/3cjmnMI5y6— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) June 26, 2018
Yeah. The guy has got a thing about pricks and bullies, Donnie Jr., not that either you or your father would know anything about that. But to be in the safe side I wouldn’t mess with frigging Hellboy, ya doofus.
