A British actress added her story to the allegations against former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, claiming in a Sunday interview that he raped her in the 1980s.

Actress Lysette Anthony, 54, alleged that Weinstein stalked and raped her at her London apartment in the 1980s, in an interview with the Sunday Times.

Anthony, who met Weinstein while starring in the 1982 science fiction film “Krull,” agreed to meet him for drinks at his London apartment.

“The next thing I knew he was half undressed and he grabbed me,” Anthony said, adding, “It was the last thing I expected and I fled. That was when the predatory stalking began.”

Weinstein then reportedly showed up at her apartment in Chelsea where he raped her. “He pushed me inside and rammed me up against the coat rack … He was trying to kiss me and shove inside me,” Anthony said.

She added that she tried to push him away, but he was too heavy. “Finally I just gave up,” she said.

Anothy gave her account of the experience on Twitter, calling it a “historic crime.”

Weinstein’s movie production studio may now be looking to sell, following numerous assault allegations against the Hollywood mogul.
