by RICH MCHUGH and ANDREW BLANKSTEIN
A raging Harvey Weinstein threatened the board of the world-famous AIDS charity amfAR last year because he believed a lawyer working for the organization was digging into his sex life, according to a document obtained by NBC News.
Minutes of an October 2016 amfAR board meeting, obtained Wednesday, include an update from board chairman and shoe designer Kenneth Cole about his dealings with the movie mogul.
The charity had retained an attorney, Tom Ajamie, to investigate a controversial deal Weinstein made with Cole over auction proceeds, and Weinstein was incensed that the information gathered went beyond finances.
"He called furious and said how dare you after 25 years, tens of millions I've raised, all I've done for amfAR, how dare you stick your lawyers on me to do what they're doing," the minutes, summarizing Cole's comments, said.
