“He better hope he goes to jail. ‘Cause when we meet [each other] I think he will be on the ground,” Sorvino told the news channel in 2018.
“He’s going to jail that bastard. And good for him if he goes, otherwise he must meet me.’
Then he added, “And I’ll kill that bastard.”
Mira claimed that Weinstein’s attempts to get along with her began in 1995, when she promoted her role in Woody Allen’s Mighty Aphrodite. He began massaging her shoulders while the two were alone in a hotel room at the Toronto Film Festival, according to Mira, who said he then tried to move on, but she was able to fend him off at the time.

A few weeks later, he managed to bypass her doorman and reach her apartment around midnight, whereupon she told him her boyfriend was on his way after he called a male friend to run over to him.
Mira believes this rejection from Weinstein ultimately hurt her career.
“There could have been other factors, but I felt absolutely frozen and that my rejection of Harvey had something to do with it,” the actress said.
Mira later added that her story “pales” on some of the others.
