She said he made the comments “a long time before he tried to touch me.”
“When I’d just started to audition for films, [Weinstein] was naming people [women] I’m friends with – famous people – and asking, ‘Have you slept with this person?’” she added. “I just thought: this is insane.”that Weinstein had sexually harassed her.

I stopped him and managed to get out of the room.
