Harvey Weinstein has been thanked the same amount of times as God at the Academy Awards… so it’s no wonder he might have a messiah complex.

Page Six is exclusively reporting that the disgraced producer has been telling friends he believes he’s a savior who was born to be accused of sex assault in order to change the world.

That’s right, Harvey is reportedly of the mind that he’s a martyr for social change, and that’s why he’s resigned to his punishment… whatever that might be.

But a rep for Weinstein says that’s absurd.

82 women claim to have been sexually assaulted, raped, or molested by the media mogul and that list dates back to the Seventies.

Harvey is currently believed to be in an Arizona rehab and his rep says that any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.
