“Weinstein Effect” is still lingering Monday, five years after mainstream reports of Harvey Weinstein’s dark sexual reign of terror first came to light.Author Ken Auletta’a bombshell new book, “Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence,” dives deep into the ugly truth of the disgraced film producer’s downfall. “[He] had some notion in his head that his body was attractive,” the author, 80, told Fox News, despite witness testimony that he smelled of feces, had genitals scarred to the point they “looked like a vagina” and a back full of “uncomfortable” blackheads.Still, “he really thought he was God’s gift, a Don Juan,” added Auletta, who spoke to multiple former Miramax film studio employees, Weinstein accusers and even his business partner brother, Bob Weinstein, for the exposé.In one chapter, the famed media critic for New Yorker magazine recounts how Jessica Mann — an ex-actress who claimed Weinstein, 70, raped her — testified on the stand that he smelled like “poop” and his private parts looked “deformed.”“I remember the district attorney passed around pictures [at his 2020 trial] … and the jurors barely looked at them.

She said she was forced to get married when a DIY coat hanger abortion went wrong and she gave birth to her son, Kevin, when she was 15.Although upset with her husband’s violence, she said she “dealt with it.”“Sadly it was the way it was back then.
I think it’s a lot to do with slavery and how that affected the black man’s psyche,” the singer said.After leaving the Ikettes, Arnold said she became Mick Jagger’s lover even with his girlfriend Marianne Faithfull still around.“Mick was in heaven but Marianne was more interested in me,” she writes in her memoir. “I had always been a good kisser and so was she.
I tried to let myself go but I was also uncomfortable… ultimately it was Mick that I was infatuated with, not her.
