Salma Hayek: Weinstein Harassed Me & Threatened to Kill Me

HeadlineDec 14, 2017

Award-winning Mexican-American actress Salma Hayek has written a searing op-ed for The New York Times in which she details how she suffered years of sexual harassment and abuse by Harvey Weinstein. In the piece, entitled “Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too,” Hayek details how Weinstein relentlessly pursued her sexually, bullied her and verbally abused her when she rejected his advances, retaliated against her professionally and even threatened to kill her. She writes, “In his eyes, I was not an artist. I wasn’t even a person. I was a thing: not a nobody, but a body.”
