He did it in front of one of his victims as another of his predatory tactics.
"I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is now, she just won an Oscar." This is how Harvey Weinstein blackmailed one of her victims by threatening that she would never become an actress if she didn't do what he wanted. The new woman who has sued the producer for s-xually abusing her at the 2013 Sundance Festival has not wanted to reveal her identity.
According to the same lawsuit, the actress, she met with the producer in her hotel room to discuss different job opportunities in different films. Wenstein began to masturbate in front of her when she was in her bathroom.
The actress of Red Sparrow or The Hunger Games sent a statement to deny this story that she, evidently, classifies as another of the rituals of this s-xual predator to reach her victims:
"My heart breaks for all the women who have been victims of Harvey Weinstein. I have only had one professional relationship with him. This is another example of the predatory tactics and lies he engaged in to attract so many women."
On the other hand, Weinstein's lawyer has denied that these statements are true and has said that they have been made with the sole objective of damaging the producer's image.
“This lawsuit was strategically filed and updated without notice or attempt to contact Mr. Weinstein's attorneys for any reason; It was meant to embarrass Mr. Weinstein and get unchecked media attention," Weinstein's spokesperson stated according to DEADLINE.
The victim recounts in her lawsuit several encounters with the producer over the years in which he subjected her to forced s-xual situations, including in her own office when he called her to discuss a script.
