Ellen Barkin Caused a Scene This Morning at Harvey Weinstein’s Trial
Y’all, Ellen Barkin tried to weasel her way into Harvey Weinstein’s second day at trial this morning and it was a total scene.
According to Page Six, the star was “overheard complaining to court officers that she wasn’t allowed to enter the courtroom ahead of members of the press — then tried to nab a seat in the first row.”
What is this, a rock concert all of a sudden?
“Don’t tell me what to do. I’m not your mother,” she allegedly snapped at a reporter who had to reassure the actress that she’d get inside.
Ellen, like everyone else, had to wait in a long line to get into the courtroom. Once inside, she was ordered to sit in the back row with other members of the public, since the first two rows are reserved for prosecutors.
That clearly didn’t sit well with Ellen. She eventually flipped off a photographer in the hallway of the courthouse to show how mad she was.
Before the fiasco, Ellen had tweeted her support for The Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra, who claims Harvey raped her in 1993 or 1994 and is expected to testify at the trial.
Oh Ellen, we love you, but it’s a courtroom. Everyone has to wait in line!
