Harvey Weinstein was
attacked Tuesday night at a restaurant. Weinstein was at Elements restaurant at
the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort in Scottsdale, eating dinner with his
sober coach when two men sat at a table next to them.
One of the men said he walked up to Weinstein and told him
he loved his movies and would like to take a photo with him. Steve says
Weinstein became belligerent and told him to buzz off.
The manager of the restaurant says Weinstein was not
belligerent -- she says to the contrary he was "very sweet about it"
and said, "I'd rather not take a picture right now." The manager says
the two shook hands and Steve went back to his table.
At around 9 PM, Weinstein and his sober coach got up to
leave at the same time Steve and his dinner companion were leaving. Steve tells
TMZ he had "quite a bit to drink," told his friend to fire up his
cell phone and shoot video of what was about to happen.
Steve says he walked up to Weinstein and said, "You're
such a piece of s*** for what you did to these women," and then punched him
in the face twice. He says Weinstein stumbled backward and almost fell.
A restaurant manager says neither attempted punch connected,
and the guy was drunk and out of control.
