A defiant Harvey Weinstein was pictured giving a huge 'f*** you' to the world on Wednesday, hours before he headed to rehab believed to be in Arizona.

The embattled movie mogul looked bedraggled as he entered the offices of his lawyer Patty Glasser flanked by stern-faced and suited male members of his entourage.

As he walked in through the doors, the disgraced 65-year-old flipped the bird, appearing unrepentant in the face of a slew of shocking allegations of rape and sexual assault from at least 30 Hollywood actresses.

Indeed, Weinstein has found himself isolated and alone as the sexual assault allegations have piled up, leading him to complain that he has been abandoned by his Tinsel Town friends.

Dressed in a leather jacket and black t-shirt that showed off his portly frame, the former movie exec later flew out of LA to The Meadows center, where celebrities including Tiger Woods sought treatment following his DUI bust earlier this year.

Before he left he spoke to photographers and admitted, 'I'm not doing okay but I'm trying, I gotta get help.'

Again the mogul wished for a 'second chance' and then appeared to attack Hollywood A-listers in the clip obtained by TMZ, saying, 'And you know I've always been loyal to you guys, not like those 'f*****g p****s who treat you like s**t. I've been the good guy.'

That capped the end of a torrid day for Weinstein, after he had a public meltdown at his daughter's house on Wednesday morning which had prompted her to phone 911 and report him as 'suicidal'.

Harvey Weinstein gave a resounding f*** you to the world as he was seen out in LA at his lawyer's offices

The Meadows treatment facility in Arizona is potentially Weinstein's final destination as it is said people on his team wanted him to seek treatment there

The apparent decision by Weinstein to seek treatment in Arizona and not Europe - as he had previously indicated - is believed to have been suggested by his brother, Bob Weinstein.

This comes after a DailyMail.com exclusive which revealed the FBI had opened an investigation into the movie mogul.

The fear in some quarters would have been a Roman Polanski-style situation where Weinstein managed to dodge a prosecution in the United States by remaining in Europe.

Polanski has managed to avoid US officials since he plead guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old in 1978 and left the country.

It is unclear if the FBI investigation relates in any way to Weinstein's decision to remain in the United States.

However, it is believed that Weinstein had booked flights to Switzerland to attend treatment there, meaning his choice of Arizona could have been a last minute change.

The under-fire movie exec was photographed in a black SUV heading to Van Nuys Airport in LA on Wednesday evening and boarded a private jet heading to Wickenurg, Arizona, where The Meadows center is based.

The Meadows has a focused 45-day inpatient program for sex addition and related behavioral issues and has been attended in the past by celebrities such as Selena Gomez and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Weinstein became angry over not being allowed his mobile device as he is concerned he will not be able to keep in contact with business associates and his wife, who announced she is leaving him on Wednesday

A private jet was scheduled to take him to rehab on Tuesday, but as of Wednesday afternoon Weinstein was still in LA

Weinstein was fired from his company on Sunday and on Tuesday his wife announced she is leaving him.

It was crystal clear from the start of Wednesday that Weinstein had not left Los Angeles for a European rehab as police were called in the morning over fears he was 'suicidal' at his daughter's home.

He was seen chasing down a random driver to see if he could get a ride in their car after arguing with his daughter.

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.'

Self-harm: Once he returned to the house, Lily reportedly called authorities to say her father was 'suicidal and depressed'

Weinstein was at the Los Angeles home of his daughter, who was eventually able to persuade 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 then fled the house just before LAPD responded to Lilly's call on Wednesday, at around 10:30am.

Lily subsequently told the officers her father was not a risk and would not harm himself, despite the statements she made earlier when she alerted authorities.

Before he flew to Arizona, rumors surrounding where he bound for rehab included staying in California.

Indeed, there will be a hearing to decide whether or not he should be removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this weekend - which he is not thought to be attending now.

He has even said that he hoped to reclaim his position at the company he founded and reconcile with his wife Georgina Chapman after receiving treatment.

Chapman announced her decision to end the pair's marriage in a statement to People, saying: 'My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband.

'Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time.'

That prompted Weinstein to give his own thoughts on the matter to Page Six.

'I know she has to do what is best for the children, for herself and her business, she employs 130 people,' said Weinstein.

'I don’t want her or my children to be hurt any more than they already have. I truly love Georgina, and I hope one day we can reconcile, although right now I don’t know if that could possibly happen.'

Chapman is keeping a low profile still, and cancelled a fashion preview for her brand Marchesa that had been planned for Thursday just 24 hours before the event.

After leaving the property, Weinstein was persuaded back in but then left before LAPD arrived

Weinstein has his own work problems, which he seemed to be aware were coming based on an email he fired off just before he was fired on Sunday.

'My board is thinking of firing me. All I'm asking is, let me take a leave of absence and get into heavy therapy and counseling,' wrote Weinstein in the email.

'Whether it be in a facility or somewhere else, allow me to resurrect myself with a second chance.'

He went on to state that 'a lot of the allegations are false' before asking that the men and women he contacted send an email to his personal account backing him, which he could in turn present to the Weinstein Company board.

'I need you to send a letter to my private gmail address,' wrote Weinstein.

'The letter would only go to the board and no one else.'

He continued: 'We believe that what the board is trying to do is not only wrong but might be illegal and would destroy the company.

'If you could write this letter backing me, getting me the help and time away I need, and also stating your opposition to the board firing me, it would help me a lot.'

The letters, if any were sent, did little good in the end, with the board of directors at Weinstein Company announcing on Sunday that they were terminating their founder in the wake of what they claimed were newly discovered allegations.

'In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged int the past few days, the directors of the Weinstein Company - Robert Weinstein, Lance Maerov, Richard Koenigsberg and Tarak Ben Ammar - have determined an have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately,' the board wrote in a statement.

It was a sudden move for the board, who on Friday said that Weinstein had taken an indefinite leave of absence.

Questions remain however about how the board was so in the dark given the number of settlements that have been paid out, with the first going back to an incident that happened in 1991 according to the Times.

Weinstein responded in a statement by saying that he was getting help, but then shortly after threatened to sue the paper for $50 million.

Board member Lance Maerov spoke to the The New York Times after the decision to terminate Weinstein on Sunday and that said that the executive had also violated the company's code of conduct in the past week.

He did not offer any additional details.

Maerov also revealed that there was much concern after Weinstein and his attorney Lisa Bloom met with the board on Thursday night, during which time the lawyer told the group that they could expect 'more and different reporting' that included 'photos of several of the accusers in very friendly poses with Harvey after his alleged misconduct.'

'I don’t want her or my children to be hurt any more than they already have. I truly love Georgina', said Weinstein on Tuesday, before saying he was on his way to Europe for treatment. Wednesday's dramatic events proved otherwise

No fly list: He said on Tuesday that he was boarding a plane to fly to rehab in Europe so that he could treat his sex addiction

When LAPD officers turned up, Lily reassured them that her father had, in fact, no intention of self-harming

That same night a handout photo of Weinstein and a smiling Judd appeared in the New York Post alongside a statement from the Oscar-winning producer.

'This is not the time for Harvey or TWC to appear defiant or indignant,' wrote Maerov in an email to Bloom.

'It is time to repair, heal, accept responsibility and recover.'

He also wrote that Bloom had a potential conflict of interest given that Weinstein had agreed to develop a book she wrote into a series.

In another email to Bloom, Harvey's brother and partner Bob wrote: 'Perhaps, Harvey as he stated in the NY Times, to the world, should get professional help for a problem that really exists.'

On Friday, one-third of the nine-man board resigned in protest, 24-hours after the sexual harassment report threw the firm into chaos.

The company also stated that they were launching an internal probe into the claims against their disgraced co-founder.

Over 30 women have come forward at this time claiming they were victims of Weinstein's harassment and assault, with the alleged offenses he is accused of committing ranging from aggressive demands for massages to rape.

WEINSTEIN'S ACCUSERS Gwyneth Paltrow: The star told the New York Times that Weinstein touched her and suggested having joint massages in the bedroom before she started shooting the 1996 film Emma. She said she told her then boyfriend Brad Pitt about the incident and he confronted the mogul. Angelina Jolie: Jolie told the Times she had to turn down advances from Weinstein in 1998 and chose never to work with him again. She said she warned other women about him Cara Delevigne and Angelina Jolie are both among the many women accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault Cara Delevigne: 'As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature. He then invited me to his room. I quickly declined and asked his assistant if my car was outside. She said it wasn't and wouldn't be for a bit and I should go to his room. At that moment I felt very powerless and scared but didn't want to act that way hoping that I was wrong about the situation. When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe. He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction. I swiftly got up and asked him if he knew that I could sing. And I began to sing....i thought it would make the situation better....more professional....like an audition....i was so nervous. After singing I said again that I had to leave.He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room'. 'Everyone knew what Harvey was up to', actress Lea Seydoux was attacked in Paris Lea Seydoux: 'We were talking on the sofa when he suddenly jumped on me and tried to kiss me. I had to defend myself. He’s big and fat, so I had to be forceful to resist him. He tried more than once. This was never going to be about work. He had other intentions – I could see that very clearly. All throughout the evening, he flirted and stared at me as if I was a piece of meat. It was hard to say no because he’s so powerful. I’m an actress and he’s a producer. We are in the same industry, so its impossible to avoid him. I’ve seen how he operates: the way he looks for an opening. The way he tests women to see what he can get away with. That’s the most disgusting thing. Everyone knew what Harvey was up to and no one did anything. It’s unbelievable that he’s been able to act like this for decades and still keep his career. Asia Argento: The Italian actress has accused Weinstein of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was 21. 'He terrified me, and he was big. It wouldn't stop. It was a nightmare.'

He re-emerged naked a couple of minutes later and asked if I would give him a massage. Panicking, in shock, I remember weighing up the options and wondering how much I needed to placate him to keep myself safe. I told him I was uncomfortable and that I was angry that I had been tricked into this position. He pleaded with me to let him massage me and I let him put his hands on my shoulders while my mind raced. Harvey chased me, d**k, b**ls and all, and banged on the door with his fists, pleading with me to come out.' Former model Zoe Brock says Weinstein chased her naked in a hotel room Louisette Geiss: Actress was called to a late night meeting with Weinstein in 2008.

He then emerged naked and with an erection, asking her to lay down with him on the bed and telling her that many had done so before. 'I was very petrified,' said de Caunes. 'But I didn’t want to show him that I was petrified, because I could feel that the more I was freaking out, the more he was excited.'
