Since Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in jail for sexual misconduct and rape, actress, Kate Beckinsale, came forward on Instagram, sharing a rather disturbing experience she had with him in 2001 — shortly after 9/11.
The disgraced filmmaker was found guilty of sexual misconduct, including rape.
Actress, Kate Beckinsale, shared a photo on Instagram, with a caption recalling an interaction she had with Harvey back in 2001.
The premiere also happened to be shortly after 9/11 — a key detail in this story.
She explained that nobody thought having a movie premiere so soon after a national tragedy was appropriate.
"But Harvey insisted. We flew into New York and somehow got through it."
"I said ok."
"I went to go with them and he said 'No, you wait here.'"
“'You stupid [expletive] [expletive], you [expletive] you ruined my premiere,'" she went on. "I had no idea what he was talking about and started to shake."
"'You do not go down it looking like a [expletive] lesbian you stupid [expletive] [expletive].'"
"I tried to say 'Harvey,the city is on fire, people are still looking for their relatives none of us even felt the premiere was appropriate'".
"He said, 'I don’t care -it’s my [expletive] premiere and if I want pussy on the red carpet that’s what I get.'"
"And yes that was one of many experiences I had that there was no recourse for,and falls under no felony."
"Hearing that he has gone to prison for 23 years is a huge relief to me on behalf of all the women he sexually assaulted or raped, and I hope will be a deterrent to that sort of behavior in this and any other industry."
"I hope and pray that we as an industry can start to actually outlaw all abuses of power and expose them and eliminate them, for all genders, forever. And Rose, brava," she concluded.
