The former Miramax boss – who has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and spinal stenosis – admitted the idea of dying in prison terrifies him.

When asked about the possibility, Weinstein said the thought “scares the s—” out of him.

“Cold and heartless,” he continued. “It’s incredible to have the life that I had and the things that I did for society, and not have the leniency to deal with me in a kinder way. Whatever they think I did bad in my life, I didn’t get the death penalty.”

Weinstein also revealed his relationship with some of his children has fractured since the allegations against him first surfaced.

“They never respond. Their mother cut me off, too. It’s been radio silence from them ever since the allegations started,” he said of his two daughters.

Still, he said he remains in contact with a few of his children.

“I speak to three of my children every day: my oldest daughter, who is 30 now, my 12-year-old, and my 15-year-old,” Weinstein said. “My other two children haven’t talked to me for six years.”
