The magazine stated that Weinstein complained he had been born “poor, ugly, Jewish and had to fight all my life to get somewhere”.
The interview, by regular columnist and friend of Weinstein’s Taki Theodoracopulos, was live for several days after it was called into question after its publication on Friday.
“You got lotsa girls, no girl looked at me until I made it big in Hollywood,” the original Spectator piece quoted him as telling Theodoracopulos.
In the piece, the film producer responded to multiple accusations of sexual assault that could result in him being sent to prison.
