Rosanna Arquette says Harvey Weinstein is playing ‘sympathy card’

Rosanna Arquette says there’s a lot she’ll “never forget” about alleged serial predator Harvey Weinstein — after he proclaimed himself “the forgotten man” in an exclusive interview with The Post.

The “Pulp Fiction” actress — who claimed Weinstein attempted to sexually assault her in the 1990s — rattled off a series of damning allegations about his abuse Monday and accused him of playing the “sympathy card” during his sitdown with The Post.

“I’ll never forget when you Harvey Weinstein … when you told me that I was making a big mistake … and I told you I’ll never be that girl,” she tweeted about him, referencing his response when she turned down his alleged advances at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“I’ll never forget when you told me look what you did for an Oscar winners career (a lie).”

Arquette was among the first women to speak out during the Weinstein’s #MeToo scandal, claiming to The New York Times that he boasted about other famous actresses that he slept with when she was in his hotel room to pick up a script for a role more than a decade ago.

Her comments came after Weinstein bemoaned to The Post in an exclusive interview that Hollywood no longer cares about his contributions to female actresses’ careers — despite being accused by many of them of sexual misconduct.

“It’s a shame you’ve abused your power because you did have some great taste in films but you’ve Hurt threatened and destroyed so many people’s careers and still continue playing the sympathy card,” Arquette wrote on Twitter. “We know the powerful people who feel sorry for you, but why? blackmail?”

The former Miramax honcho griped about how his “work has been forgotten” as he awaits trial for predatory sexual assault.

“It all got eviscerated because of what happened,” Weinstein said.

Weinstein has repeatedly denied allegations of non-consensual sex.
