Harvey Weinstein'sdaughter made a 911 call concerning her father and his mental state on Wednesday morning and a video appeared to show him disorientated outside her home, it has been reported.

Weinstein was on Wednesday night thought to have traveled to a rehab centre in Arizona, after his wife Georgina Chapman announced that she was leaving him.

Leading Democrats in the United States were coming under immense pressure on Wednesday to return their campaign contributions from the disgraced film producer, as the fallout from the sexual harassment and abuse scandal that has shocked Hollywood spread to Washington.

On Wednesday Cara Delevingne, Heather Graham and Lea Seydoux came forward to accuse Weinstein of assault, while Keira Knightely spoke out in support of the victims.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) suspended his membership, the BBC sacked him as producer of a television series of Les Miserables, and calls were growing for his CBE to be revoked.

New York-born Weinstein, 65, had over the course of 25 years accumulated more than $2.2 million (£1.7m) in donations for the Democrats - both through personal contributions and “bundles”, funds raised by rallying his friends.

By the end of the 2016 cycle, Weinstein had donated more than $26,000 to Hillary Clinton, and put another $15,000 total into the political action committee HILLPAC, over 17 years of her political career. A fundraiser for her election campaign, in June 2016, raised more than $1.8 million for her presidential run.
