- Harvey Weinstein tried to flag down a passing motorist and flee his daughter Lily’s home after the two argued on Wednesday
- Once he returned to the house, Lily reportedly called authorities to say her father was ‘suicidal and depressed’
- Weinstein, 65, fled again before LAPD arrived on the scene, and soon after Lily had a change of opinion, saying her father was not at risk of self-harm
Harvey Weinstein reportedly chased down a random driver to see if he could get a ride in their car after arguing with his daughter on Wednesday.
TMZ reports that the disgraced movie mogul was heard screaming out just before he tried to flag down the vehicle: ‘You’re making it worse.’
Weinstein was at the Los Angeles home of his daughter, who was eventually able to get her father back inside the house.
Members of the Los Angeles Police Department arrived a short while after that, and said they were responding to a report from Lily that her father was ‘suicidal and depressed.’
Weinstein, 65, was expected to be in Europe by this time, with the embattled movie mogul saying on Tuesday that he was flying off to rehab to treat his sex addiction.

Weinstein then fled the house just before LAPD responded to Lilly’s call on Wednesday, at around 10:30am.
Lily then told the officers that her father was not a risk and would not harm himself, despite the statements she made earlier when she alerted authorities.
Weinstein may now fly for Europe tonight to start treatment for his sex addiction, though that claim can not be trusted in light of the statement he made on Tuesday which proved to be false.
