Harvey Fierstein found himself having to clear his name after he became confused with Hollywood producer and alleged sexual assailant, Harvey Weinstein.

“Harvey Weinstein is rumored to be in trouble & I am somehow getting flak as well! I get it. All Harveys look alike,” the “Torch Song Trilogy” playwright and actor tweeted.

“That’s right! Be mad at Harvey, not HARVEY!” Fierstein tweeted linking to a story about the confusion from the Forward.

In another tweet, he writes “I’m a good gay! I mean, a good guy.”

In an interview with Page Six, Fierstein joked that his first name has been attached to too many negative stories lately.

“Between a hurricane and a Weinstein, this Harvey is yearning for the days when people mistook me for an invisible rabbit [the Harvey of a Jimmy Stewart film],” Fierstein says.
