Alexandra Vino defends her boyfriend, Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein, 68 was convicted earlier this year for sexually abusing many female celebrities during his career. Hence, his wife Georgina Chapman divorced him.
And since last year, he has a new rumored girlfriend. She was seen cozying up with him and her name is Alexandra Vino.
Alexandra is 30 years of age and a singer and actress. Additionally, she is also an aspiring screenwriter. She defended Harvey and told the New York Post:
“Everyone seems to hate Harvey but they don’t realize they don’t really hate Harvey.”
“They are being told how to feel. He is a scapegoat for this entire [#MeToo] movement and they’ve destroyed his life. It’s been like a ¬human sacrifice. People get 23 years in prison for murdering people, not for what he did,”
