Cara Delevingne is the latest Hollywood actress to accuse movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.
On Wednesday the 25-year-old model claimed the movie mogul tried to get her to kiss another woman in front of him and threatened her career over her sexual orientation.
In a statement released to her Instagram account, Delevingne detailed her alleged experience with the producer while meeting about the Weinstein Company film Tulip Fever in 2014.
The caption reads: ‘When I first started to work as an actress, I was working on a film and I received a call from Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media. It was a very odd and uncomfortable call… I answered none of his questions and hurried off the phone but before I hung up, he said to me that if I was gay or decided to be with a women specifically in public, that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood’
Delevingne claims that a few years later, she was invited to Weinstein’s hotel for a meeting. After speaking in the lobby, the movie mogul invited her up to his hotel room, she alleges. The actress said she denied his invitation at first, but that his assistant encouraged her to go upstairs.
‘When I arrived I was relieved to find another woman in his room and thought immediately that I was safe,’ Delevingne wrote. ‘He asked us to kiss and she began some sort of advances upon his direction.’
Delevingne joins a chorus of women who have detailed similar accounts with the movie executive, including Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.
