Who Are the Women Who Have Accused Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Harassment and Assault?
A significant number of women have come forward and had accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.
With Eva Green's mother coming forward to share her daughter's own experiences of sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein, the actress becomes the latest name attached to the ongoing controversy centered on the disgraced producer.
"He operated with her the exact same way he acted with all the others, under the pretext of a professional meeting, of a script that had to get to her with a nice part into the bargain. Since his office was also in his hotel suite, she [Eva] followed him, and the exact same thing happened to her as to the others. She managed to escape, but he threatened to destroy her professionally." Green's mother, Marlene Jobert, said.

Dozens of women have now come forward and their stories mostly follow a similar pattern wherein they are invited by Harvey Weinstein to his hotel room and are either asked for a naked massage or getting sexually assaulted by him.
The latter was unfortunately experienced by Italian actress Asia Argento who revealed that back when she was 21-year-old, she was invited to what she thought was a party, but instead, she found herself alone with the producer. She says she reluctantly agreed to giving him a massage, but then, he forcibly performed oral sex on her. Afterwards, she would then have consensual sex with him for a number of years.
Angeline Jolie also found herself in the same position during the late 90s where she was invited to a hotel room and had to refuse Weinstein's advances. Gwyneth Paltrow, who was dating Jolie's now-estranged husband at the time, was also invited to Weinstein's private suite where she was asked to give him a massage. She was only 22 at the time and refused. Brad Pitt had confronted the producer about the incident and warned him never to touch Paltrow again.
Other women who have accused the 65-year-old Weinstein, who has now been fired from his own company by The Weinstein Company's board, include actresses Minka Kelly, Melissa Sagemiller, Kate Beckinsale, Cara Delevingne, Eva Green, Florence Darel, Sophie Dix, Claire Forlani, Lea Seydoux, Ashley Judd, Heather Graham, Rosanna Arquette, Judith Godreche, Tomi-Ann Roberts, Dawn Dunning, Laura Madden, and Emily Nestor.
Ambra Battilana Gutierrez also experienced harassment from the producer, and she managed to record a confession from Weinstein.
Lucia Evans also revealed that she had been raped by the producer.
Weinstein's other victims include, Zelda Perkins, Mira Sorvino, Emma de Caunes, Jessica Barth, Lauren Sivan, Romola Garai, Louisette Geiss, Sarah Ann Mase, Liza Campbell, Zoe Brock, Louise Godbold, Katherine Kendall and Rose McGowan, who did not openly name Weinstein but alleged that she was raped by an executive with the initials "H.W."
