Actress Ashley Judd said in another meeting she trusts motion picture investor Harvey Weinstein destroyed her profession since she was not hesitant to face his lewd gestures.
“I was not frightened of Harvey Weinstein and I think that was why he blackballed me,” Judd told host Stephen Sackur on BBC’s “Hardtalk.”
“I think that is why he blacklisted me and did unfortunately as we know now such a successful job sabotaging my career,” she said during the interview, which is set to air in full on Monday.
Judd and also many other ladies approached a year ago blaming Weinstein for lewd behavior that stemmed more than three decades.
Numerous ladies said he employed his energy in the motion picture industry to weight ladies into sexual acts.
Honor winning performers Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelia Jolie likewise approached and blamed the Hollywood film maker for sexual offense.
After the reports surfaced, Weinstein told columnists in October “we all make mistakes.”
Weinstein, however, has denied the allegations against him as well as any accusations of non-consensual sex.
But Judd argues that he “absolutely harassed” her.
Judd said Weinstein appeared in a bathrobe after summoning her to his hotel room two decades ago, where he proceeded to ask her if he could give her a massage or if she would watch him take a shower. Judd said she refused.
“He abused his power,” Judd told Sackur.
In light of the assertions, the Weinstein Company reported that it had let go Weinstein, who filled in as the co-Chairman.
Weinstein’s tumble from his effective part in the motion picture industry served one of the key impetuses that commenced the “Me Too” development, which urged ladies to stand up about their encounters of inappropriate behavior.
