Mira Sorvino Says She Feels 'Gutsick' After Harvey Weinstein's N.Y. Conviction Is Overturned

"To all of my sister/brother/fellow survivors out there, it just means we have to love harder, and fight harder," the Oscar winner shared via Instagram

Mira Sorvino shares how “horrified” she is to learn that Harvey Weinstein's 2020 convictions in New York State have been overturned.

The Mighty Aphrodite star, 56, expressed her frustration with the ruling on Thursday, April 25, via social media.

“Horrified! Day after #DenimDay honoring sexual violence survivors, Harvey Weinstein’s conviction overturned, due partly to molyneux witnesses testifying to prior bad acts, like lioness Annabella Sciorra,” Sorvino wrote in an X (formerly known as Twitter) post. (Denim Day is a campaign that runs during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and brings awareness to combating victim blaming, as well as educating the public about sexual violence.)

“Since when don’t courts allow evidence of pattern of prior bad acts to be admitted,” Sorvino added. “He’s a prolific serial predator who raped/harmed 200+ women! Disgusted w/ justice system skew twds predators not victims.”

She then shared a screenshot of her post to her Instagram account in a carousel that also included an announcement of the ruling.

“Gutsick. To all of my sister/brother/fellow survivors out there, it just means we have to love harder, and fight harder. Evil rears its ugly head but we are the army of light and will prevail,” she wrote in the Instagram caption.

Weinstein, now 72, was first arrested and charged with rape in May 2018. Then in February 2020, he was found guilty. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison the following month.

The next July, he was extradited to Los Angeles. In December 2022, he was found guilty of three of seven charges, and sentenced to an additional 16 years in jail to be served separately from his New York sentence.

But, on Thursday, April 25, Weinstein's New York sentence was officially overturned. The decision came after his attorney Arthur Aidala claimed that Weinstein didn't receive a fair trial due to decisions made by trial judge James Burke. Aidala alleged that Weinstein's character was on trial rather than the allegations he was facing.

The California conviction is not affected by the ruling and Weinstein currently remains in jail.

In 2017, at the time of the revelations surrounding Weinstein, Sorvino came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein.

Last month, she shared at 90s Con that her “career was stifled by Harvey Weinstein.”

“I stopped doing [major] studio movies after 1998,” noting that year she "rejected [Weinstein] the third time."

"I stopped being a viable movie actress," she said. "I still did indies and I still did television, but that was very hard." She explained that she "didn't know at the time what was happening" to her career, but she was allegedly no longer getting offers for roles.

"It became, you know, a sort of feeling like fate was just not going on my side but it was going to be just a matter of time 'till I was gonna get back my status," she said.
