No one is canceled in Cannes. Not even Harvey Weinstein.
The jailed Hollywood producer, whose New York rape conviction was recently reversed, is reaching out from prison to haunt his former playground in the south of France, TheWrap has learned.
Two knowledgeable sources told TheWrap that Weinstein has been phoning friends at the Cannes Film Festival, and is actively in touch with Alexandra Vino, who he was dating before he went to prison, to help her with party invitations and connections. Vino was spotted on a yacht in Cannes on Saturday by a third individual who spoke to TheWrap.
Vino could not be reached for comment.
Another individual said Weinstein still frequently texts with a New York producer friend from prison. An additional individual said Weinstein is in touch with former associates in France.
Weinstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer denied this was the case. He told TheWrap: “He doesn’t have a cell phone. It’s a prison pay per call phone. I can’t confirm he’s calling anyone in Cannes, but if so, he’s calling someone local and having that person add a call to France.”
