This is according to the New York Times, which reported on unsealed court papers that were released on Monday, March 10. These documents were not presented to the jury as evidence at Weinstein’s Manhattan trial two weeks ago, and included emails between the former producer with his representatives, friends, and his brother.
The Times describes these communications as part of an effort by Weinstein and his team “to portray him as a troubled man who badly wanted to right his wrongs.” In an email to former New York Daily News gossip columnist A.J. Benza, Weinstein reportedly alluded to having been sexually abused as a child. In another unpublished letter the Times describes as “self-pitying,” Weinstein wrote that he was suicidal.
