Harvey Weinstein fell and hit his head while trying to walk rather than use his wheelchair Sunday in jail, according to his representative.
The convicted sex offender, who is due to be sentenced Wednesday after being found guilty of two sex crimes last month, has expressed some remorse through his spokesman, apparently in response to a catalog of alleged bad behavior compiled by prosecutors for his trial judge.
"Now that sentencing is approaching, and after prosecutors piled on more uncharged allegations against him in a pre-sentencing letter to the trial judge Friday, Weinstein is experiencing a sense of remorse for past behavior, according to Engelmayer said.
"Harvey has had time to himself in an environment he appreciates to be vastly different from what he had known," Engelmayer wrote to USA TODAY in an email. "In this short, but overwhelming period, he has been humbled so much more than he could have known.
"He was mean, he didn't often show respect, he treated some people with disdain, and he acknowledges it. He recognizes what put him here, and he will continue working on himself to be a better person."
