On January 17, 2007, it was reported that the Goodfellas star displayed a gun at Daniel Snee, the ex-boyfriend of his daughter Amanda.
A scared Amanda locked herself in the bathroom and called her father and the police after Snee had threatened and pounded on her hotel door.
Sorvino arrived before the police, and when the police arrived, Snee was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
According to the police, the actor had the license to carry a gun.
In another instance, Sorvino threatened to kill Harvey Weinstein when he found that his daughter, Mira, was among the dozens of women sexually abused by the director.
During an interview with The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow, Mira shared that Weinstein behaved inappropriately with her in 1995 around the release of Mighty Aphrodite.
“He started massaging my shoulders, which made me very uncomfortable, and then tried to get more physical, sort of chasing me around,” the actress recalled.
Sorvino hoped Weinstein would end up in jail because if he didn’t, the Law and Order star would take matters into his own hands.
Fortunately for Sorvino, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
