After the two incidents, Mira Sorvino had a suspicion that Harvey Weinstein meddled with her career. Her suspicion was only confirmed when director Peter Jackson revealed that Weinstein asked him to blacklist certain actresses. In an interview with Stuff, the “Lord of the Rings” director said that he initially had an interest in casting Sorvino and Ashley Judd in the late ’90s for the “Lord of the Rings” movies. However, Miramax told him that the actresses were difficult to work with and that he should avoid casting them. “I now suspect we were fed false information about both of these talented women — and as a direct result their names were removed from our casting list,” Jackson stated.
Mira’s father, Paul Sorvino, had something to say about Harvey Weinstein upon hearing the news. TMZ caught up with the actor in 2018 and asked him what he thought of the Hollywood producer derailing his daughter’s career. He said he hoped he goes to jail, but if not, he said he would “kill the mother******. Real simple.” Paul also stated that he had no prior knowledge of Weinstein’s sexual misconduct. “If I had known it, he would not be walking. He’d be in a wheelchair,” he said. Paul continued to say that Mira didn’t deserve what Weinstein did to her. “This pig will get his comeuppance. The law will get him. He’s going to jail and die in jail,” he declared.
