Harvey Weinstein, who was sentenced to 23 years in prison last March for sexual assault, allegedly approached the British actress to try to obtain sexual favor. "It literally touched me ," said the 53-year-old actress. He tried to massage my neck. I knew it would not end well, so I left. "

" On the tightrope "

If the producer already had a very bad reputation, the interpreter of Marla Singer in Fight Club explains that she was not aware of his actions at the time. "I didn't know he was chasing people ," said Tim Burton's muse. I was not aware of the rapes, but I knew he was doing unhealthy things, passing. ”

However, she admits that she was embarrassed by the professional relationships that she may have had with Harvey Weinstein. "He was a bully," she continues. He mistreated people. He was sort of a sociopath. I saw him treat people so badly ... There was no compassion on his side and that is what disturbed me. "

In 2018, Helena Bonham Carter already confided to the British media The Guardian to have stood up to the producer. "I remember things he asked me to do and to which I said no ," she said. I knew I was on a tightrope. Challenging him was not an easy thing, because I knew I could lose my job. ”
