It sounds like Harvey Weinstein knew the house was going to come crumbling down, so he reached out to Netflix for a lifeboat.



Page Six exclusively reports that the disgraced media mogul tried to raise $25 million from them weeks before the stories of his sexual misconduct broke in the media.



It’s claimed that he asked for this emergency cash as a possible hush money or for the purposes of a financial lifeline.



Others claim he was about ready to sell off a part of his movie catalog for the money because he saw the writing on the wall.



Harvey and Netflix had a good relationship before the scandal, putting out his shows Peaky Blinders and Marco Polo.



Netflix has declined to comment on the story.
