Harvey Weinstein made his personal assistant wipe down the furniture after his frequent office trysts and even pick up used syringes after he injected his penis with a Viagra-like drug, a new suit charges.
Sandeep Rehal “was required to be involved in and aware of the preparation for, and clean up after, Harvey Weinstein’s extremely prolific sexual encounters,” her Manhattan federal court suit says.
“Another ‘task’ Ms. Rehal was forced to do to aid Harvey Weinstein’s sexu...
They settled for far less than their last asking price of $9.995 million, not to mention a remarkable 34% less than their pie-in-the-sky original price tag of $12.995 million, former Hollywood power couple Jane Fonda and Richard Perry still earned a few bucks on the modern-minded residence they once shared in the popular if terrifically spendy Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills.
