This may never end.
Harvey Weinstein has another Hollywood actress claiming he sexually harassed her. Kate Beckinsale said her career suffered for rejecting Weinstein’s advances when she was still a minor.
The 44-year-old star posted a lengthy note to Instagram detailing a story that she alleges took place when she was 17 years old.
That's right: 17.
She says she was invited to the Savoy Hotel for a meeting with Weinstein but was told to go to his room upon arrival.
“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. "After declining alcohol and announcing that I had school in the morning I left, uneasy but unscathed.”
The star’s account is in line with several others detailed recent exposes from The New York Times and The New Yorker in which several women have come forward with similar stories about the 65-year-old Hollywood mogul.
The plot thickens as she describes an occasion years later in which Weinstein asked her if he had tried anything when they first met.
“I realized he couldn’t remember if he had assaulted me or not,” she wrote.
Beckinsale says that she rejected him professionally for many years, which often resulted in verbal tirades from Weinstein. She claims he would scream at her, call her a “c--t” and make threats. He allegedly would “laughingly” tell people that she lived to say “no” to him.

If Harvey had anything to do with blackballing this magnificent piece he should get the death penalty.

If I get the gist of her story right, she blue balled him, essentially.

So she's 44 now and this happened when she was 17. This nonsense has been going on for 30 years.

At least. The story the NY Times tanked in '04 had details going back to the early 90's.

Oh, I missed that info.

...in addition to the NYT, NBC has been protecting Weinstein for years. When the story broke, no mention on Saturday night live, no breaking news alerts. Nothing. Blackout. A media-Hollywood cabal.

Funny how all these Hollywood social justice warriors come out swinging after the fact...
Where was all the courage before when it could have actually prevented some of the damage he did?

I'd never heard of Kate Beckinsale until I saw this article...

Does that make me a bad person?

James got his Van Der Beek grabbed? "Ripe to explode" probably isn't good wording on that.

Which begs the question of just who he slighted enough that he is being exposed (as if no one knew) suddenly for something that has been going on since talkies?
There are those up the food chain from Harvey who decided he was no longer useful. Who and why, and what do they have planned next/going on now?

Ooooh they're sooooo brave now coming out against Weinstein. /s
How many other "Weinsteins" are out there that they aren't mentioning?

Maybe he asked Hill for some of the cash back that he gave her for her failed POTUS run.

She played a great kick-butt vampire in a tight black catsuit.
