Ron Perlman Once Pissed On His Hand Before Shaking Hands With Harvey Weinstein
And now Donald Trump Jr. is mad at him.
Actor Ron Perlman claims to have once intentionally pissed on his own hand before shaking hands with disgraced Hollywood produced Harvey Weinstein. Which is gross, but also, I kind of get it.
The Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy star shared this information on social media earlier this week, tweeting that it happened at a charity event the two men both attended.
“Did I ever tell ya about when Harvey Weinstein told me to make sure I shook his hand,” Perlman wrote, “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,” he added, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump.
Perlman had previously shared a tweet by journalist Lauren Duca slamming Trump for criticising a restaurant that refused to serve his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Why that reminded him of his Weinstein encounter, I have absolutely idea.

While Perlman’s tweet doesn’t indicate when the shake took place, his confession did generate some backlash, with several people suggesting that, if the actor knew about Weinstein’s alleged history of sexual harassment and assault, getting pee on his hand wasn’t the best way to hold the producer to account.
One of Perlman’s loudest critics was Donald Trump Jr., who was presumably cheesed off about the shade being thrown at his Dad.
“So you knew [Weinstein] was a rapist and rather the actually do something or say anything you pissed all over your hand?” tweeted Trump Jr. “Imagine how many assaults on innocent women you could have prevented if you weren’t a coward.”

Perlman replied, pointing out that “I never said I knew Harvey was a rapist… I DID know he was a prick though. A prick and a bully”.
Hey young don, nice ta meetcha! And thanks for the follow! So…
I never said I knew Harve was a rapist. I never worked for Harve. I wasn’t home his type. I DID know he was a prick though. A prick and a bully. And I gotta thing about that. https://t.co/3cjmnMI5y6— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) June 26, 2018
