Lena Headey is the latest woman to come forward with her own horrifying Harvey Weinstein story.
Over the past week, the disgraced Hollywood producer has been accused of sexual misconduct, assault and rape by a number of stars – and now Game of Thrones actress Lena has revealed her experience.
On Tuesday night, Lena took to Twitter to share two different alleged interactions with Harvey – one which took place at the Venice Film Festival around 2005, and another at a hotel in Los Angeles a few years later.
“The first time I met Harvey Weinstein was at The Venice Film Festival. The Brothers Grimm was showing there,” she began.

“At one point Harvey asked me to take a walk down to the water, I walked down with him and he stopped and made some suggestive comment, a gesture, I just laughed it off, I was genuinely shocked.
“I remember thinking it’s got to be a joke, I said something like…oh come on mate ?!?? It’d be like kissing my dad !! let’s go get a drink, get back to the others. I was never in any other Miramax film.”
Going on to describe her second interaction with Harvey, Lena revealed that she went to meet him over breakfast to discuss films and filmmaking.
“He asked me a few questions about the state of my love life. I shifted the conversation back to something less personal. Then he went to the loo. He came back and said, let’s go up to the room, I want to give you a script,” she wrote.

“We walked to the lift and the energy shifted, my whole body went into high alert, the lift was going up and I said to Harvey, I’m not interested in anything other than work, please don’t think I got in here with you for any other reason, nothing is going to happen I said.
“I don’t know what possessed me to speak out at that moment, only that I had such a strong sense of don’t come near me.”

“He was silent after I spoke, furious. We got out of the lift and walked to his room. His hand was on my back, he was marching me forward, not a word, I felt completely powerless, he tried his key card and it didn’t work, then he got really angry.
“He walked me back to the lift, through the hotel to the valet, by grabbing and holding tightly to the back of my arm, he paid for my car and whispered in my ear, Don’t tell anyone about this, not your manager, not your agent. I got into my car and I cried.”
