Will Harvey Weinstein get the Cosby treatment? Decades of Alleged Sexual Assault and Harassment
- Thread starter raze
- Start date
She claims there were other instances of sexual assault. Vasinova says in February 2015, Herjavec shoved her inside from a balcony, threw her down violently across a table and raped her.
And she says, the next morning, in a fit of aggression, he grabbed her by the throat, prevented her from breathing freely and engaged in sexual intercourse.
She claims when they got together he had promised to marry her and take care of her financial needs and pressured her into putting her career on hold.
Sounds like a lady scorned.

The New York actress suing The Weinstein Company for negligence says she felt paralyzed by Harvey Weinstein's naked come-on in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2010.
In a sit-down interview with the Daily News Wednesday, Dominique Huett said the mogul lured her to his private suite at the Peninsula with the promise of a business discussion, fed her champagne, casually changed into nothing but a bathrobe and asked her to give him a massage.
Huett described feeling confused and intimidated — and was adamant she objected.
Weinstein persisted, she said, and she ended up giving him an "awkward" halfhearted massage.

Once Huett gave an inch, Weinstein turned the tables and took a mile, she said.
He removed her pants and performed oral sex on her as she "froze" and allowed her mind to go blank, she recalled.
"Step by step, it was a power play to shut me down to do what he wanted to do to me," she explained.

Huett, who was 28 years old at the time, said Weinstein used his industry influence and the promise of career assistance to launch his surprise attack, knock her off balance and disarm her defenses.
"I wasn't able to do what I normally would do," she told The News. "I felt like I couldn't say no after saying no so many times. I just kind of allowed it to happen."

Huett's lawyer Jeffrey Herman called her reaction "tonic immobility," a state of involuntary paralysis animals enter to deter predators.
"I just felt like I was going through the motions, and I wasn't really thinking clearly," Huett, now 35, told The News.

"You don't know how to react because he's in a position of power and seniority. You don't know how to respond to something like that. Your first instinct of course is to say no, and I tried, but clearly it didn't work," she said.
Huett spoke to The News a day after she and Herman filed a negligence lawsuit against The Weinstein Company in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Herman said he's eager to get to the discovery phase of the case and take a deposition from Weinstein's younger brother Bob Weinstein, still a top executive at the firm that fired Harvey Weinstien earlier this month.
In Huett's complaint, Herman said the company's executives, officers and employees had "actual knowledge of Weinstein's repeated acts of sexual misconduct" and knowingly "aided and abetted" his predatory behavior.

The lawsuit alleges female TWC staffers were routinely used as "honeypots" to give victims a false sense of security at the start of meetings that they exited after only a few minutes.
Herman said the lawsuit is seeking "substantial" damages.
Huett, a Manhattan resident, said she had not yet reported the incident to Beverly Hills Police but feels that is a component to her stepping forward.
"I think it would be important to put it on file, make a record to police, leave it up to them to decide what to do," she said.

Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault
Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
The Weinstein Company, meanwhile, has denied any knowledge of his misconduct.
"It is essential to our company's culture that all women who work for it or have any dealings with it or any of our executives are treated with respect and have no experience of harassment or discrimination," the board members said in a statement.
Huett said Wednesday that she first met Weinstein at Cipriani’s in New York in 2006. She was 24 years old at the time, and she recalled approaching him and striking up a conversation about "breaking into the business."

She said Weinstein put her in touch with one of his casting executives, and at one point they discussed a possible role in the 2008 movie “Hell Ride.”
When Huett moved out to Los Angeles in 2010, she reached out to Weinstein again, and he invited her to meet in the lounge at the Peninsula Hotel, she said.
Weinstein greeted her in the bar but then got up and moved the meeting to his personal suite without even asking Huett if she felt comfortable with the change of scenery, she said.
Huett called her experience with Weinstein "devastating," saying she later "felt guilty" for not physically fighting Weinstein off and running out of the room.

"I just felt like it was the right time. A lot of other women had come forward first. I just felt like I had to share my story. I experienced something also," she told The News.

Harvey Weinstein once cornered a former Fox News reporter and masturbated in front of her at a Manhattan nightclub, according to a report Friday.
Lauren Sivan met with Weinstein and several others at the upscale Italian eatery Cipriani in 2007 before the group headed to the since-shuttered Cuban club Socialista in the Meatpacking District, HuffPost reported.

Under the guise of giving Sivan a tour of the club's restaurant, Weinstein separated Sivan from her friends, dismissed two staffers who were cleaning up in the kitchen, and cornered her in a secluded area.
Sivan, 39, told HuffPost she felt trapped as the film producer blocked her into a vestibule near the club’s kitchen.
