Harvey Weinstein was shown being accosted by a diner at a Paradise Valley resort Tuesday night in a video posted on  TMZ.

According to TMZ, the confrontation happened in Elements restaurant at the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley.

TMZ reported that the producer, who is said to be undergoing rehab through the exclusive Meadows center in Wickenburg, was eating dinner with his "sober coach" at about 9 p.m. One of the men – named Steve – is said to have approached him early in the evening saying that he was a fan of his movies and asking him for a photograph.

The manager of Elements restaurant, based at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort in Scottsdale, reportedly said Weinstein's reaction was “very sweet” as he allegedly told the man he'd “rather not take a picture right now.”

When Weinstein and the coach got up to leave, the other diner told his friend to start filming what was about to occur, TMZ reported.

The video shows the man walking up to Weinstein and saying, "You're such a piece of s--- for what you did to these women," and slapping him in the face twice. Weinstein is seen caught off-guard.

Weinstein, who was wearing a stained grey t-shirt and dark beanie at luxury Arizona restaurant Elements, stumbled before walking away.

It comes days after women wore black at the Golden Globes in solidarity with victims of sexual abuse in the wake of the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal that began with allegations against Weinstein.

TMZ reported that Weinstein declined to call police and left the restaurant. The Paradise Valley Police Department told The Arizona Republic that it had received no calls from the restaurant's location nor reports about the incident.

Weinstein was one of the first prominent figures in entertainment and politics to topple during the #MeToo movement that seeks to bring victims' voices to the forefront and hold predators accountable.

More than 80 women have come out against Weinstein, who formerly helmed Miramax and the Weinstein Company (which he co-founded with his brother, Bob). The accusations range from inappropriate to criminal behavior, including allegations of rape.The 65-year-old has "unequivocally denied" all allegations of non-consensual sex through a representative.
