🚨BREAKING: Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on two charges: rape and criminal sexual act. Here are all the brave women who spoke out against the producer
In the days since The New York Times and the New Yorker published investigations exposing Hollywood’s most open secret, multiple women have come forward accusing movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault and in some cases, rape.
Alice Evans Actress Alice Evans, who you may recognize from The Vampire Diaries, wrote an essay in The Telegraph revealing her disturbing encounter with Weinstein. In the piece, she also postulated whether it may have impacted her career in Hollywood and that of her actor husband Ioan Gruffudd. Evans had heard about what could happen in Weinstein’s hotel rooms, but she says that she never thought the producer would try something with her.
Angie Everhart Actress Angie Everhart was staying on the same boat as Weinstein while attending the Venice Film Festival. She told KLOS radio that she was sleeping but woke up to the producer standing above her bed. “All of the sudden he takes his pants down and starts doing his stuff. He’s blocking the door. I can’t get out and he — I don’t know how to say this on the radio, but he finishes on the carpet of the floor,” she said on the Frosty, Heidi and Frank morning show.
Matthau returned to her home state of California and recalled the trauma to her then fiancé Charles Matthau, who encouraged her to retain lawyer John S. West, who has a history of fighting powerful men.
Claire Forlani #harveyweinstien everyone knew EVERYONE. Hollywood has been run by male domination forever you spoke out you were punished plain and simple.Though she was approached by Farrow, Claire Forlani chose not to be interviewed for his piece in the New Yorker. After reading Mira Sorvino’s account, however, Forlani tweeted about encounters with Weinstein that followed the same “meeting in the lobby or restaurant of a hotel, invitation to his bedroom” routine other women have described.
Dawn Dunning Dawn Dunning wasn’t an actress when she met Weinstein in 2003, she told the New York Times. She was a design school student and waitressing at a nightclub, but he invited her to screen test at Miramax. She said that Weinstein later offered her a parts in three movies on the condition that she have a three-way with him. When she refused, Weinstein told her she would never make it in Hollywood.
Gwyneth Paltrow Like so many of the other women reporting Weinstein’s unwanted sexual advances, Gwyneth Paltrow’s incident occurred when she was just 22 and began on the pretense of a work meeting. It ended with Weinstein suggesting they go up to his room for massages. Heather Kerr Heather Kerr, an actress who appeared in The Facts of Life and worked as an acting coach on Minor Adjustments and Moesha, held a press conference in late October where she alleged that Weinstein sexually assaulted her during a business meeting. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kerr says Weinstein”grabbed her hand and forced it onto penis and held it there.
Kate Beckinsale Like Cara Delevingne, Kate Beckinsale shared her story on Instagram after the initial news about Weinstein broke. Beckinsale was 17 when she was called to Weinstein’s hotel for a meeting, and when she arrived, she was told to go to his room. “He opened the door in his bathrobe. I was incredibly naive and young and it did not cross my mind that this older unattractive man would expect me to have any sexual interest in him,” she wrote.
Lauren Holly After reading the New York Times story, Holly told the hosts of The Social that she was “floored because it was my story.” In the late 1990s, Holly was in her 30s and an established actress in Hollywood who had worked with Weinstein before. On one occasion, she met with Weinstein for a business meeting at his hotel, which Holly says is a completely normal in the industry so she wasn’t nervous at all.
Lena Headey Game of Thrones star Lena Headey’s first uncomfortable interaction with Weinstein was long before she was known as Cersei Lannister. The actress revealed on Twitter that she was working on The Brothers Grimm, which was released in 2005, when Weinstein pulled her aside and made suggestive comments to her. Headey shut him down, but the next time she was in L.A. she met Weinstein for a breakfast meeting.
Lucia Evans Described as a “former aspiring actress” in Farrow’s New Yorker piece, Evans says that Weinstein raped her. Evans, who used to go by Lucia Stoller, alleges that she met up with Weinstein to discuss her career and potential prospects and he forced her to perform oral sex on him. “The type of control he exerted, it was very real,” she told Farrow. “Even just his presence was intimidating.
Marisa Coughlan In 1999, actress Marisa Coughlan met with Weinstein in The Peninsula Hotel to talk about starring in one of his upcoming projects. Coughlan told The Hollywood Reporter that it didn’t take long before Weinstein suggested that she become one of his “special friends.” He allegedly told her he had many “special friends” and if she went into his bedroom, he would help her career. She rejected his advances and left.
Paula Wachowiak After seeing the reports in the New York Times and the New Yorker, 62-year-old Paula Wachowiak spoke with The Buffalo News about an encounter she says she had with Weinstein nearly four decades ago. Wachowiak says that when she was working as a production assistant for Weinstein on the set of his first movie. As part of her job, she was asked to take some cheques to Weinstein’s room to get them signed.
Romola Garai The British actress, known for her roles in Atonement and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, disclosed to The Guardian that when she was 18, Weinstein had her audition for him in his hotel room, while he was wearing only a robe. She said she “felt violated by it” and still has a clear memory of that night.
Sad to be on this list but proud of all the women on it. @Variety #HarveyWeinstein https://t.co/JWZSZtNbey via @varietySarah Polley The Canadian actress and filmmaker wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times titled “The Men You Meet Making Movies” that she had an encounter with Weinstein early in her career in which the film producer implied that he could help her career if they had a “close relationship.
Tara Subkoff Actress Tara Subkoff told Variety that after denying Weinstein’s advances one night in the 1990s, he rescinded his informal offer to cast her in one of his movies and she was ultimately blacklisted from acting in Hollywood. “That night I was offered the role, and I went out to a premiere after-party that Harvey Weinstein was also at. He motioned for me to come over to him, and then grabbed me to sit on his lap.
Goff alleges that Weinstein consistently asked her if she had a boyfriend, then he started putting his hands on her legs. “When we finally stood up to go, he really started groping me, grabbing my breasts, grabbing my face and trying to kiss me. I kept saying ‘Please stop, please stop, but he didn’t until I managed to get back into the public space.”
