All The Women In Hollywood Who Have Come Forward About Harvey Weinstein

Asia Argento told her story in a New Yorker article published on October 10, 2017. She stated that she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein in 1997. She was invited to the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc for what she thought was a Miramax party, but she was brought up to Weinstein's hotel room. He asked her to give her a massage. She reluctantly agreed, but he began forcibly performing oral sex on her, although she repeatedly said, "no."

"It wouldn’t stop. It was a nightmare," she said.

Me Too supporters were thrown for a loop in August 2018 when actor Jimmy Bennett accused Argento of sexually assaulting him as a teen. The two worked together on the 2004 film The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, in which Bennet played her son. Argento denies the claims, saying Bennet was in a dire financial state and tried to extort her.

"Bennett knew my boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, was a man of great perceived wealth and had his own reputation as a beloved public figure to protect," Argento said in a statement regarding the allegations. "Anthony insisted the matter be handled privately... [he] was afraid of the possible negative publicity that such person, whom he considered dangerous, could have brought upon us."

Angelina Jolie told the New York Times that Harvey Weinstein made advances on her in the late, 1990s around the time she was promoting the film Playing By Heart.

"I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,” she said in 2017. “This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable."

Lupita Nyong'o shared her own horrible Harvey Weinstein story in an op-ed for the New York Times on October 19, 2017. The actress said she met Weinstein in 2011, while she was still an acting student. He invited her out to lunch, and then to his home. The producer offered Nyong'o a massage; panicked, she offered to give him one instead, so she could "know exactly where his hands were at all times":

"Before long he said he wanted to take off his pants. I told him not to do that and informed him that it would make me extremely uncomfortable. He got up anyway to do so and I headed for the door, saying that I was not at all comfortable with that. 'If we’re not going to watch the film, I really should head back to school,' I said."

Nyong'o left. When their paths crossed again later, Weinstein asked her to a screening. He tried to convince her to dine with him in a private room, but she refused. Nyong'o asked Weinstein if her career would suffer, and he replied, "I don’t know about your career, but you’ll be fine."

At the age of 22, Gwyneth Paltrow met with Harvey Weinstein at his hotel room under the pretense of discussing the film Emma. She said that he put his hands on her and told her that they should give each other massages.

"I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified," she told the New York Times in 2017.

In 2018, during an interview with Howard Stern, Paltrow revealed that her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt later accosted Weinstein at a Broadway premier. 

According to Paltrow, “(Brad) said, ‘If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.’ Or something like that."

Ashley Judd said that in the late 1990s, she was invited to Harvey Weinstein's hotel for a breakfast meeting. When she arrived, she was sent up to his hotel room, where the bathrobe-clad producer asked if he could give her a massage or if she could watch him shower.

"How do I get out of the room as fast as possible without alienating Harvey Weinstein?" she remembers thinking. She told her story in a 2017 interview with the New York Times.

Rose McGowan has been very vocal about her encounters with Harvey Weinstein on Twitter. In an October 12, 2017 tweet, she seemingly revealed that Weinstein had raped her:
