Model and actress Cara Delevingne says she was also harassed by Harvey Weinstein while she was auditioning for a role in one of his films.
In a post on her Instagram account, Delevingne recalls meeting with a director for a film and then being left alone with Weinstein.
“As soon as we were alone he began to brag about all the actresses he had slept with and how he had made their careers and spoke about other inappropriate things of a sexual nature,” she wrote. “He then invited me to his room.”
Delevingne says she declined and asked Weinstein’s assistant if her ride was waiting outside. The assistant allegedly told her the car wouldn’t be there for awhile and to go to Weinstein’s room.
“When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately I was safe,” the post continues. “He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction.”
Then, Delevingne says she began singing to try and deescalate the situation and make it more of an audition than a sexual encounter. After she finished her song, she tried to leave the room but was blocked by the Hollywood producer.
“He walked me to the door and stood in front of it and tried to kiss me on the lips. I stopped him and managed to get out of the room,” she stated.
Delevingne asserts that while she still got the role, she felt like she didn’t deserve it and was scared to share her story because she felt “guilty” and “didn’t want to hurt his family.”
Weinstein has now been accused of everything from sexual harassment to rape by over two dozen women.
