Harvey Weinstein Raped Actress In Beverly Hills, Lawsuit Claims

The actress claims Weinstein used his "massive weight​ and strength" to force himself on her at the Montage hotel.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – An actress has sued Harvey Weinstein, claiming he masturbated in front of her and ultimately raped her at a Beverly Hills hotel. The actress is only listed as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, and says she met Weinstein in 2011. They attended events together over the next few years, according to TMZ, although she didn't describe the nature of their relationship.

In 2015, the actress says she met Weinstein at the Montage hotel to talk about a job on a show called "Marco Polo." She says he gripped her wrists with one hand while using the other to masturbate in front of her until completion, TMZ reported.

The actress says she met Weinstein again at the Montage in 2016 to "celebrate her upcoming role in "Marco Polo." She says he excused himself, came back out in a bathrobe, grabbed her, threw her on the bed, pulled down her jeans and began orally copulating her, TMZ reported. She says she pushed his head off and ordered him to stop. He then used his "massive weight and strength" to force himself on her, according to the actress, pushing his penis inside of her vagina without a condom.
