Harvey Weinstein hit with hotel fee for smoking in room: Report
Weinstein is on trial for alleged rape and sexual assault
‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ author and motivational speaker Jordan Belfort discusses Harvey Weinstein, the aftermath of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ movie and more.
Disgraced movie exec Harvey Weinstein, who is standing trial for alleged rape and sexual assault, was hit with a cleaning fee for allegedly smoking in his Jersey Shore hotel room, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Weinstein, 67, was charged the extra cleaning fee upon checking out of the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, New Jersey, the outlet reported.
A spokesperson for the hotel could not immediately confirm the report.

The former filmmaker was reportedly staying at the inn toward the end of December when some friends paid him a visit. They then allegedly smoked marijuana and called room service to request “several ice creams,” according to THR.

Those charges accuse him of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another woman there on back-to-back nights in 2013, days before he walked the Oscars with his then-wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, who was pregnant at the time.
