Disgraced filmmaker Harvey Weinstein was slapped in the face and cursed out by a restaurant patron as he left an Arizona eatery Tuesday, new video reveals.

Weinstein – who is accused of sexual harassment, assault or rape by dozens of women – was walking out of Elements in Scottsdale after dinner when a man, only identified as Steve, hit him twice in the face with his backhand, according to TMZ, which published the footage.

“Get the f*** out of here,” the man says in the video. “Get your f****** ass out of here. You’re a f ****** piece of s***.”

Steve had gone up to Weinstein, 65, earlier in the evening and asked him to take a photo, but Weinstein declined, a restaurant manager told TMZ. The manager said Weinstein was “sweet” about saying no, and that Steve appeared to be drunk when he approached Weinstein again later that evening.
