The New York Police Department does not release mug shots of anyone arrested in New York City, so the anti-Weinstein mob had to content itself with the courtroom sketches. Despite the serious nature of the charges, online wags and media had a field day commenting on the artist renderings from the courtroom drama.
Courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg has drawn Twitter criticism before. She drew a picture of New England quarterback Tom Brady in a 2015 courtroom case that also drew attacks, with some claiming the handsome Brady looked like a character from TV’s The Walking Dead in her renderings. Rosenberg later apologized.
Today’s courtroom comments on Harvey Weinstein’s pictures:
Wait that courtroom sketch was supposed to be Harvey Weinstein? I thought Dr. Dre really let himself go.
