Harvey Weinstein offered liquor to then 17 year old Kate Beckinsale

Up until now, we’ve heard allegations of sexual assault and rape against Democrat funder and Hollywood blimp Harvey Weinstein. Until now. Actress Kate Beckinsale claims that Weinstein. When she was 17 years old, she claims she was told to go to Harvey Weinstein’s hotel room. He came out with nothing but a bathrobe on and allegedly offered her liquor. At age 17. While nothing happened between Weinstein and Beckinsale happened at the Savoy Hotel, the fact that he offered a minor liquor and may have done to her what he’s alleged to have done to over a dozen other women could have been a case of pedophilia. We’ll see if any more come out and claim Weinstein assaulted them when they were underage or if this was an aberration.

Harvey Weinstein is a pedophile too? That’s what Kate Beckinsale says

I was called to meet Harvey Weinstein at the Savoy Hotel when I was 17. I assumed it would be in a conference room which was very common.When I arrived ,reception told me to go to his room . He opened the door in his bathrobe . I was incredibly naive and young and it did not cross my mind that this older ,unattractive man would expect me to have any sexual interest in him .After declining alcohol and announcing that I had school in the morning I left ,uneasy but unscathed.A few years later he asked me if he had tried anything with me in that first meeting .I realized he couldn't remember if he had assaulted me or not .I had what I thought were boundaries – I said no to him professionally many times over the years-some of which ended up with him screaming at me calling me a cunt and making threats, some of which made him laughingly tell people oh "Kate lives to say no to me ." It speaks to the status quo in this business that I was aware that standing up for myself and saying no to things,while it did allow me to feel uncompromised in myself,undoubtedly harmed my career and was never something I felt supported by anyone other than my family.I would like to applaud the women who have come forward , and to pledge that we can from this create a new paradigm where producers,managers,executives and assistants and everyone who has in the past shrugged and said " well, that's just Harvey /Mr X/insert name here " will realize that we in numbers can affect real change.For every moment like this there have been thousands where a vulnerable person has confided outrageous unprofessional behavior and found they have no recourse, due to an atmosphere of fear that it seems almost everyone has been living in .I had a male friend who, based on my experience,warned a young actress who said she was going to dinner with Harvey to be careful. He received a phone call the next day saying he would never work in another Miramax film ;the girl was already sleeping with Harvey and had told him that my friend had warned her off.Let's stop allowing our young women to be sexual cannon fodder,and let's remember that Harvey is an emblem of a system that is sick,and that we have work to do.

Actress Kate Beckinsale joined the ever-expanding list of women accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse, alleging in an Instagram message Thursday that she “said no” to the disgraced film producer “many times over the years” — the first of which when she was 17-years-old.
“I was called to meet Harvey Weinstein at the Savoy Hotel when I was 17,” the Underworld film franchise star wrote. “I assumed it would be in a conference room which was very common. When I arrived reception told me to go to his room. He opened the door in his bathrobe. I was incredibly naive and young and it did not cross my mind that this older, unattractive man would expect me to have any sexual interest in him.”

“After declining alcohol and announcing that I had school in the morning I left, uneasy but unscathed,” Beckinsale wrote.
