Pearl Harbour star Kate Beckinsale is the latest to accuse Harvey Weinstein of s-xual harassment.
Actor Kate Beckinsale says she was 17 years old when producer Harvey Weinstein greeted her in his bathrobe for a meeting in a room at the Savoy Hotel. In an Instagram post Thursday, Beckinsale says she left the meeting uneasy but unscathed.
The actor is the latest in a growing list of women who have come forward with their accounts of s-xual harassment at the hands of the Hollywood overlord after a bombshell of a story published by The New York Times and New Yorker last week, revealing decades of harassment cases and settlements he has had with young female actors and other women in the industry.
So far, actors like Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lea Seydoux, Cara Delevingne and many more have shared their stories of s-xual harassment.
Beckinsale recalls that a few years later Weinstein asked her if he had tried anything with her at the first meeting. She says she realized “he couldn’t remember if he had assaulted me or not.”
She says she said no to Weinstein professionally many times over the years, and that Weinstein would often respond with anger, profanity and threats.
Beckinsale calls for a new paradigm in the industry and says “let’s stop allowing out young women to be s-xual cannon fodder.”
