Following the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein in 2017, loads of celebs have admitted to being aware of the abuse and bullying that was going down at the hands of the movie mogul.
One such pissed off celeb, Ron Perlman has been quite vocal about his disdain towards Weinstein, dating back before the abuse victims came forward.
In November of last year, the Sons of Anarchy star took to Twitter to joke about “almost hit[ting]” the disgraced movie giant several times.
Man, if I had an Oscar for every time I almost hit Harvey Weinstein!!

Now, he has recounted a time when Weinstein requested to shake his hand so he went to the bathroom and urinated on his own hand before greeting the former film producer.
“Did I ever tell ya about when Harvey Weinstein told me to make sure I shook his hand at a charity event, so I stopped in the mens room and pissed all over my hand, then went straight up to him on the receiving line? I think about that every time lil donnie opens up his KFC.”

Earlier this month, Weinstein pled not guilty to several sexual assault charges including rape after a grand jury voted to indict him last month.
His lawyer Benjamin Brafman said in a statement that he was not surprised by the indictment, noting that it “does not add anything to the case we did not already know.”
“Mr. Weinstein intends to … vigorously defend against these unsupported allegations that he strongly denies. We will soon formally move to dismiss the indictment and if this case actually proceeds to trial, we expect Mr. Weinstein to be acquitted.”
