Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was filmed getting slapped in a restaurant by a man who called him a "fucking piece of shit". The confrontation occurred in the upmarket Elements restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Weinstein, who is allegedly undergoing rehab at a nearby facility, was dinning with his sobriety coach when two men took a table next to them. According to a report by TMZ, “Steve” approached Weinstein as a fan and asked if a photo could be taken of the two of them together. According to Steve, Weinstein then became belligerent, rude and quickly declined the request.

The Elements restaurant manager saw the confrontation and believed Weinstein was actually “very sweet about it.” She stated that Weinstein explained he would rather not have a photo taken of him, and that the two men shook hands after the conversation. Steve, at that time, quietly returned to his table.

But when Weinstein and his coach, and Steve and his friend, got up to leave at the same time, Steve (who admitted he was intoxicated) told his friend to film what he was about to do. Thereafter, Steve slapped Weinstein twice and called him a "fucking piece of shit".

However, the restaurant manager also refutes these claims, and footage published by TMZ backs up the manager's story.

The footage attached to a second TMZ report clearly shows that Steve does not punch Weinstein in the face, but rather backhand slaps him instead. Weinstein is surprised by the slaps but stands his ground, not reeling into the ground as Steve had claimed.

Even Steve’s friend admitted Steve was out of line, and asked Weinstein if he wanted to contact the police. Weinstein declined, and proceeded to exit the restaurant with his sobriety coach. Later, he also refuted Steve’s claims stating that he was not acting in a belligerent or rude manner.

As many as 100 women have banded together against Weinstein to accuse him of rape and harassment, many of these names being those of Hollywood actresses and models, with some investigations still ongoing.

Since Weinstein’s fall from grace over rape, sexual assault and harassment allegations, the former movie mogul has claimed that he can no longer afford child support for his two children, aged 4 and 7. An eight-figure divorce settlement with estranged wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, has allegedly left Weinstein broke.
