I know these are two people that we generally don’t care to know much about. However, given the 15-year sentence handed down upon Harvey Weinstein today, an ancillary story deserves a slight mention.

This story makes sense, because back in 2025 Candace Owens suddenly became an advocate for Weinstein.  According to the New York Post, there was an apparent financial arrangement:

NYP – […] Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by “contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials.”

Weinstein engaged in a “scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg alleged.

Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called “Harvey Speaks,” which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. She didn’t return requests for comment Wednesday. (more)
