In an interview with the New York Post from a room in the luxury wing of a New York hospital, the disgraced movie mogul talks about his charity work, praises himself for getting Gwyneth Paltrow a big payday and shoots down speculation he is faking an illness to get sympathy.


Harvey Weinstein has given a new interview from a New York hospital in which he complains that he's a "forgotten man" on the heels of speculation that he was trying to gain sympathy at a recent court appearance and at meetings using a walker for support.


"I feel like the forgotten man," Weinstein, who is scheduled to go to trial in January for charges of rape, predatory sexual assault and criminal sexual act against two women (he has pleaded not guilty to all charges), told the New York Post. "I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker, and I'm talking about 30 years ago. I'm not talking about now when it's vogue. I did it first."


More than 80 women in total have accused Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment, including Rosanna Arquette, Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mira Sorvino. But, in the interview, Weinstein appears focused on how those allegations have affected him.


"It all got eviscerated because of what happened," Weinstein said "bitterly," according to the Post. "My work has been forgotten."


The interview was conducted from the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center on Friday, a day after, Weinstein says, he had a three-hour spinal surgery that was needed after he injured his back in a car accident Aug. 17.
