Just a few Hollywood divs spoke on the case of sexual harassment, violence and scandalous person Harvey Weinstein, the opinion of the actresses was divided. Jennifer Lawrence admitted in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter magazine that the scandalous producer was her father, and Renee Zellweger and Charlize Theron are forced to excuse themselves and deny the sexual relationship with the "rapist."
Renee Zellweger commented on the intimate relationship with Harvey Weinstein
While Hollywood actresses and collaborators of film companies share horrific memories of sexual abuse and harassment facts in their careers, some celebrities prefer not to comment on cooperation and close acquaintance with the defendants of the charges. Among those who for a long time remained silent and responded to all requests of journalists categorically refused, was Renee Zellweger. What caused a flurry of criticism, accusations and suspicions.
Renee would continue to avoid contact with journalists and ignore their speculation in articles if her name were not mentioned in the indictment of Melissa Sejmiller against Harvey Weinstein. In the lawsuit it is said that Zellweger, for the sake of getting the roles, was in intimate connection with the producer.
Harvey Weinstein and Renee Zellweger
According to Sejmiller, she experienced sexual harassment and a decline in intimacy in the summer of 2000. Weinstein promised the beginning actress a successful career and the main roles in his films, as an example he put "Renee Zellweger, Charlize Theron and others" who agreed to his "conditions." At that time, Renee really got a major role in "The Bridget Jones Diary," and later in other films.
Renee Zellweger was Weinstein's muse
Renee did not make public quarrels, entrusting her agent to convey to persistent journalists tabloid Us Weekly the following "message":
"I doubt he could say that, but if it's true, then Harvey is a real piece of d *** ma!"
Laconically and without unnecessary details, will you agree? Note that Renee was called the producer's muse in the 2000s. For the first time, Vainshtein took the actress in 1998 in the film "More expensive rubies", three years later he invited Zellweger's "Bridget Jones Diary", then there were pictures of "Chicago", "Cold Mountain" and "Miss Potter". For the role of the second plan in the movie "Cold Mountain" Renee "deservedly" received an Oscar and at the presentation she thanked Harvey personally and "friends" from the company Miramax.
Charlize Theron ignored accusations of intimacy with the producer
Charlize Theron did not yield to the provocation of offended rivals and journalists. On the indictment of Melissa Sejmiller and the indication of her name, she at Instagram responded as follows:
"Women who have opened up and told about the facts of harassment and violence are worthy of respect and our support. This is a heroic and brave deed. I did not have such experience in my career and during my cooperation with Harvey Weinstein, but I've heard about it many times. Unfortunately, similar facts for Hollywood and the world of art in general - an ordinary phenomenon. "
Note that Theron starred in five films by Harvey Weinstein.
Jennifer Lawrence spoke about Harvey Weinstein
Jennifer Lawrence drew another portrait of Harvey Weinstein's personality, unlike many of his acquaintances, even called him "father"! In the new issue of the tabloid The Hollywood Reporter, she gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey, describing the relationship to a sex scandal involving a scandalous producer and their "relationship." Note that Lawrence, like many others from Weinstein's environment, for a long time remained silent:
"Harvey is an ambiguous and complex man, everyone knows about this, but he was like a father to me. I've known him since I was 20 and for all that time he did not allow any liberties in my direction. Harvey was nice, courteous, and if there were disagreements, we could exchange "last words" and forget the next day. It took me a while to comprehend everything that is happening now. For me it was a blow, because I thought that I knew him well and suddenly such a terrible accusation. It's no secret that he is very categorical, somewhere a cruel person, vindictive when it comes to work, but not a rapist! I have to admit that such a character is very common among producers and directors. I think that the time has come to change the situation. "
The actress did not hypocrite, when she said that in communicating with Harvey Weinstein she could afford to be straightforward and even rude to answer. One of the familiar actresses, ex-head of the studio Paramount Studios Sherry Lansing, confirmed her words:
"Jennifer is famous for its uneasy character and excessive categorical in statements. Thanks to her straightforwardness and honesty, she found a common language with many colleagues and, in particular, with Harvey Weinstein. Once Michael Burns, the executive director of the studio, asked me to support her and find the right words before the upcoming release of "Hunger Games." Even then I realized that she would never let herself be insulted! She is a confident young woman who knows what she wants - it's important in Hollywood. "
