Harvey Weinstein had another meltdown in front of photographers as he left his daughter's home to board a private jet and fly to an exclusive rehab clinic in Arizona on Wednesday evening.

The clearly agitated disgraced movie mogul, who looked disheveled in a black T-shirt and loose jeans, told reporters: 'Guys, I’m not doing OK but I’m trying. I gotta get help. I’m hanging in, I’m trying my best.'

After at least 30 women in the film industry accused him of rape, groping and sexual harassment, he added: 'You know, we all make mistakes….second chance I hope.'

He was leaving his daughter's home in Los Angeles to fly to a rehab clinic in Arizona, believed to be The Meadows, which costs upwards of $40,000 a month and where former patients include Tiger Woods.

The undignified appearance before reporters ended a torrid day for Weinstein, during which he had a furious row with his daughter, fled her house and tried to flag down a stranger's car after she phoned 911 and reported him as 'suicidal'.

Weinstein was then pictured giving people the middle finger as he as he entered the offices of his lawyer Patty Glaser flanked by stern-faced and suited male members of his entourage.

It must be a real challenge for his tailor trying to give form to what is essentially a bipedal slug.

And THAT is what Hollywood is precisely worried about, if Weinstein starts singing, lots of studio execs will be going to jail.

A month from now he’ll pull a Kathy Griffin, who, ironically, is probably the only woman in Hollywood he didn’t harass.

I can only hope that he does. But that will have no bearing on the need for accountability for his actions.

Two weeks in rehab, and he will be good as new!

“Even Hefner was in awe.”

Huh. Your statement resonated with the coincidence of Hef’s death just prior to this storm breaking over Weinstein. Everybody’s been wondering, “Why now, after 30 years?”

What if, for reasons known only to Hef, he had left behind one of those “To Be Opened Upon My Death” letters we see in movies, exposing Weinstein?

Yeah, people make mistakes, but not the same ones, repeatedly, for over 30 years. Those are deliberate, criminal acts. The longer you get away with it, the bolder you become. No amount of rehab can make over a life-long pervert. Can’t wait to hear about the stories of his poor abused childhood so he can be cast as the victim in all this.

Can’t wait for the movie. Ben Affleck would be perfect in the role.
