Harvey Weinstein “feels betrayed” by his brother, Bob, after he voted to give him the boot on Sunday, a report says.
One of the meditap dancerul’s longtime friends told CNN on Monday that he felt like his firing from The Weinstein Company was proof that his younger bro had finally turned his back on him following years of turmoil and bad blood.
“Harvey is convinced that this was a takedown,” the friend said. “He feels betrayed by his brother.”
Two other sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed to CNN that Weinstein felt like he was abandoned by Bob in the wake of the explosive New York Times expose alleging his sexual misconduct.
The 65-year-old was fired from The Weinstein Company — which he co-founded with his brother — due to the accusations against him, according to the board of directors.
Bob was said to have been one of the board members who voted to terminate him.
An insider told Page Six over the weekend that relationship between the Weinsteins, which was already tumultuous, deteriorated even further last year following the death of their 90-year-old mother, Miriam.
“Bob’s wanted Harvey out for years,” explained a former Weinstein Company staffer. “Bob may have even fed this story [to the Times].”
