The actor Juliette Binoche has called for an end to the public excoriation of Harvey Weinstein and said that the cases should now be left to the courts.
Binoche worked with Weinstein on Chocolat and The English Patient, for which she won an Oscar.
“I almost want to say peace to his mind and heart, that’s all,” said Binoche.
Weinstein is facing trial on a sexual assault charge in New York, and has been under investigation in Los Angeles and London.
