I knew Harvey Weinstein in college — he was a sleazebag back then — and kept some track of him, but I knew nothing about the state of his health in recent years.

So I was “surprised” to see him with a walker, though only in the sense that, if asked about his health a week earlier, I would have had no basis to say anything. His using a walker wouldn’t strike me as a ploy, even though I have a decades-old predisposition to think the worst of him. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a ploy, but as the doctors tell the medical students, “when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.”Report
