Harvey Weinstein once offered Myleene Klass a ‘sex contract’, according to reports.
The disgraced Hollywood producer was fired from the company he co-founded on Sunday, after several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against him, which were published in The New York Times.
Since the article was published, a number of well-known women in the industry have come forward with more allegations, including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cara Delevingne.
And now – it’s been revealed that the Oscar-winning producer targeted British singer and TV presenter Myleene Klass at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, after she interviewed him for CNN.
Myleene’s friend told The Sun that Harvey invited her to lunch after meeting in Cannes, and Myleene believed she was meeting him to discuss work opportunities.
Harvey, who was married at the time, allegedly assumed that Myleene would sleep with him, and intended to keep her silent with a “confidentiality agreement”.
“She thought his intentions were genuine. But as soon as she found out what he really wanted, she told him to f**k off,” the friend said.
That same year, Myleene spoke about an incident with a “Hollywood star” in an interview with Fabulous magazine.
“About six months ago, a newly married Hollywood star asked me to sign some kind of sex contract with him. I just thought, ‘Mate, which planet are you from?’
“I met him a few times and when I went to interview him it was like something out of a film. We were having lunch and as the starter arrived he launched into it. I was like, ‘Bugger, I’ve got main and Âdessert to go – I’m stuck here’.
“Then his PA came over with a confidentiality contract. I just thought, ‘Oh my God, your poor wife.’ I don’t want to be a marriage-wrecker.
“I left and got straight on the phone to Gray [ex Graham Quinn] and told him. It would bring Hollywood down if the story got out. But I won’t say anything. It’s not my style,” she said previously.
Meanwhile, it’s been reported that London’s Metropolitan Police and the New York Polie Department have begun to investigate allegations against the Hollywood producer.
Harvey has “unequivocally denied” any allegations of non-consensual sex – but has admitted that he has made “mistakes”.
