Harvey Weinstein CBE (born March 19, 1952) is an American former film producer. He and his brother Bob Weinstein co-founded the entertainment company Miramax, which produced several successful independent films, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Heavenly Creatures (1994), Flirting with Disaster (1996), and Shakespeare in Love (1998).
Weinstein won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare in Love, and garnered seven Tony Awards for a variety of plays and musicals, including The Producers, Billy Elliot the Musical, and August: Osage County. After leaving Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob founded The Weinstein Company, a mini-major film studio. He was co-chairman, alongside Bob, from 2005 to 2017.
Harvey Weinstein for the first time, which allegedly happened when she was 19.Hilton alleged that the incident took place at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000, where Weinstein approached Hilton after he heard that she wanted to go into acting.“I was at lunch with my girlfriend and he came up to the table and was like, ‘Oh, you want to be an actress?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I really want to be in a movie,’” Hilton told Glamour UK.“I was a teenager, so I was impressed by him.
I was like, ‘Oh my god, Harvey Weinstein is so cool!’ and he said, ‘Well, we should have a meeting. You can come up to my room and read scripts,’” she said. “And I just didn’t want to go, so I never went.”The two reportedly encountered each other again at the amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS research) gala, which Weinstein was hosting.
He then allegedly followed her into the ladies’ toilets screaming at her, “Ya wanna be a star?”“I went into the bathroom and then he followed me,” Hilton recalled. “He tried to open the door, he was hammering on the door, banging on it.
And I wouldn’t open it, because I was like, ‘I’m in a stall, why do you want to come in here?’ And I just wouldn’t open it. And security came and literally carried him away and he was like [shouting], ‘This is my party,’ going nuts.
