Savvy India — December 2017

(Kiana) #1

ROSE MCGOWAN
McGowan is one of the most prominent women
to accuse the disgraced movie mogul of sexual
misconduct. The star also suggested that she had
physical proof. “I had three surgeries on my wrist
and elbow.” Weinstein reached a settlement with
McGowan when she was 23 years old after “an
episode in a hotel room.” And although she tried
repeatedly to speak up about it, she was silenced
by a nexus of stars including Ben Affl eck and now
disgraced Amazon Studio’s chief Roy Price.


PAZ DE LA HUERTA
The actress told ‘Vanity Fair’
in an interview that she was
raped twice by Weinstein.
Describing what happened
after he dropped her home, she
said: “Immediately when we
got inside the house, he started
to kiss me and I kind of brushed
[him] away. Then he pushed
me into the bed and his pants
were down and he lifted up
my skirt. I felt afraid... It wasn’t
consensual... It happened very
quickly... He stuck himself
inside me... When he was
done, he said he’d be calling
me. I kind of just laid on the
bed in shock.
“When he was on top of me, I
said, ‘I don’t want to do this’.
He kept humping me and it
was disgusting. He’s like a
pig... He raped me.”
On November 3, the New York Police said that they were
preparing a warrant to arrest Weinstein for his alleged
rape of Paz de la Huerta.

MERYL STREEP
The Academy Award winning actress who
had earlier thanked Weinstein as “God”
in  her 2012 Golden Globe acceptance
speech, said she was “appalled.”

GEORGE CLOONEY
George Clooney, who had worked on fi lms with
Weinstein for more than 20 years, called Weinstein’s
actions “indefensible and disturbing” and said that his
wife Amal has also faced such abuse in her profession.
