Golden Globes 2024: ‘Succession’ bags Best Drama Series, Best Performance by Actress in Television Series
The satirical comedy-drama series ‘Succession’ clinched the trophy for Best Drama Series at the ongoing Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
Actor Jason Priestley says he punched disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein on the face during a Golden Globes party in 1995.
The Beverly Hills actor recounted the incident on Twitter, reports dailymail.co.uk.
He wrote: “Harvey told me I had to leave… I was leaving when he grabbed me by the arm and said ‘What are you doing?’ I said ‘You told me leave, I’m leaving’. Then he said ‘I didn’t say you had to leave’ and I replied that he ‘just told me to leave…right over there’.

“He then grabbed me tighter and said ‘Why don’t we go outside and talk about this’. That was all I needed to hear.
“‘I’m not going anywhere with you,’ I said as I pushed him back and punched Weinstein with the right hand to his face. Suddenly, there were security guards pulling us apart and I was escorted out of the party.”
Priestley’s revelation comes after actress Tara Strong suggested Weinstein might have tried to derail Priestley’s career following the fight, in the same way Weinstein had done to actresses Mira Sorvino and Ashley Judd.
