Dame Judi Dench is all about forgiveness when it comes to her friend Harvey Weinstein … and she thinks we should cut the disgraced producer some slack. He completely agrees!

Here’s the deal … the Oscar-winning actress raised eyebrows in a recent interview, saying HW has done his time after sex crime convictions during the #MeToo movement.

Harvey, through his rep, tells TMZ … he has profound respect for Dench, adding … “She is an extraordinary person who played an important role in my career.”

While she was outspoken against him when the reports of sexual assault first came out, now his apparent declining health seems to have really appealed to Judi’s sympathetic heart in an interview with Radio Times.

She told the publication, “I saw a bit of film of Harvey walking with two sticks, and you think, ‘Well…'”

She continued … “I imagine he’s done his time … I don’t know, to me it’s personal — forgiveness.”

Harvey told us, following Dench’s remarks … “I’ve now spent more than six and a half years incarcerated, including a year and a half in Rikers, which could be considered double time. I am here for something I did not do, and many of the claims that have been written about me are gradually being shown to be untrue or unsupported. I am grateful for the kind words that have been expressed, and all I want is the chance to return to my family and children.”

The actress also seemed to add Kevin Spacey‘s name to the list of those in need of public forgiveness.

“Kevin has been exonerated, and I hear from Kevin, we text,” Judi said.

The Oscar-winning actor reportedly provided comfort to Judi when her husband passed in 2001.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s dining room table just got a little more crowded this holiday season … as his daughter, Simone (AKA Ava), just went official with her girlfriend — NXT wrestler Tatyanna Dumas!

The couple shared a heartwarming Instagram Reel on their respective accounts on Sunday … featuring a bunch of PDA and joint adventures they’ve had together.

“Crying screaming throwing up,” Johnson wrote. “I am so lucky.”

Simone — who was signed to WWE under the ring name Ava — joined the company back in February 2020 … now serving as the General Manager for the NXT brand.

Dumas teamed up with WWE earlier this year, making her on-screen debut during the company’s “WWE LFG” show.

Rapper POORSTACY took his own life in a Florida motel room in front of his baby mama and toddler last month … and TMZ has now obtained new photos of the eerie scene.

The pics were taken by a source who was staying in a room adjacent to POORSTACY at the Boca By the Sea Hotel on the day the rapper killed himself.

In the photos, you can see the outside of the building cordoned off with yellow tape. Children’s plush toys lie strewn on the lawn outside the door as an officer stands nearby, appearing to take notes.

We broke the story … POORSTACY — real name Carlito Milfort — shot himself in the head November 29. He was rushed to the hospital, but taken off life support December 1.

On the same day POORSTACY shot himself, his baby mama was arrested for alleged child neglect … cops specifically cited drug use in the presence of the couple’s young child in the days before the rapper’s death. She and the toddler were in the room when the artist shot himself.

Leading up to his suicide, POORSTACY had been open about considering ending his life because he’d “lost everything” due to a woman.

In a video, the star told fans over stream he had to check into a “mental hospital” because he was ready to end his life over the unidentified lady.
