Harvey Weinstein, the producer and former chairman of The Weinstein Company has been accused of sexually assaulting a cluster of women for over three decades which include the likes of Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, Ashley Judd and Gwyneth Paltrow. These ladies have come out in the open and shared their horrifying experiences and fellow Hollywood starlets Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet have condemned it and applauded the women who opened about it.
It has now come to light that Harvey wanted to meet the former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan alone and her then talent manager Simon Sheffield saved her from what could be a terrible mishap. Simone Sheffield was quoted in a report saying, “I use to manage Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. While dealing with Harvey I found it comical how hard he tried to get Aishwarya alone. But he was a pig… looked and acted like a big bully pig. He asked me to leave the meeting numerous times and I politely declined. When we were leaving his office, he cornered me and said, ‘What do I have to do to get her alone?’ I told him to kiss my black ass. When Ash and I returned to our hotel, I sent Harvey a steel pig trough filled with diet coke as a thank you gift for the meeting. Yes, we did do business and yes, he eventually threatened me. Told me I’d never work in this business, blah blah blah…what I said to him, I can’t print. But you can be sure, I never gave him the opportunity to even breathe on my client."
It is also believed that the producer used to invite actresses over to hotel rooms and then greet them naked or ask them to give him a massage. Cara Delvigne also spoke about how she too had fallen prey to this man's obnoxious tactics. We applaud the women who have gathered the courage to share their experiences, and we hope that Harvey gets his due and is punished for his disgustful acts.
