That Time Paul Sorvino Offered to Publicly Strangle Harvey Weinstein

With the passing of legendary 'Goodfellas' actor, Paul Sorvino, we remember that one time he offered to publicly execute Harvey Weinstein in the most admirable and wholesome way possible. RIP.

The context of the clip is in the wake of Weinstein's enormous scandal that spawned the Me Too movement and eventually culminated in Weinstein's conviction on numerous sexual crimes. Sorvino had, according to reports, just found out that his award-winning daughter, Mira Sorvino, had reportedly been blackballed by Hollywood for refusing Weinstein's advances. This was his first comment on the matter.

The actor, who passed away Monday at the age of 83, said “It is reprehensible beyond description that women have been treated in this manner" and that “The reality is, anyone who takes advantage of women should be publicly strangled and I’ll volunteer.” The old clip, resurfacing in the wake of Sorvino's passing, illustrates what made the actor so endearing throughout his decades-long career.
