Hayek alleged that she was s*xually harassed and berated by Weinstein on several occasions. In an op-ed for the New York Times titled "Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too," she claimed that Weinstein threatened to kill her if she spoke about the abuse and demanded that she perform a full-fr*ntal n*de scene in the 2002 film "Frida" which he would shut down if she didn't comply.
Hayek said that she fought hard to work with Weinstein's company, Miramax, but once he agreed to work with her, it became her turn to "say no" to his inappropriate demands.
She detailed a series of "no's" to his requests, including taking showers with him, allowing him to watch her shower, giving her massages, and performing oral s*x. Eventually, she gave in to Weinstein's demand that she do a s*x scene with another woman in "Frida."
Hayek expressed her discomfort with the scene, not because she was n*ked with another woman, but because she was doing it for Weinstein. She revealed that it wasn't until years later that Weinstein congratulated her on the success of "Frida" and said they made a beautiful movie.
Despite the kind words, Hayek was deeply hurt by Weinstein's actions and never showed him how terrified she was of him.
The allegations against Weinstein continue to mount, with several Hollywood A-listers, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, coming forward with similar accusations. Despite the accusations, Weinstein has not admitted to any wrongdoing.
