Salma Hayek claims Weinstein threatened to kill her

https://pagesix.com/2017/12/13/salma-hayek-claims-weinstein-threatened-to-kill-her/?_ga=2.218145113.1167792455.1513190345-1981464522.1513190345

Salma Hayek came forward in an op-ed in the New York Times with stories of how she had to repeatedly tell Harvey Weinstein “no.”

Hayek, 51, revealed she was urged by friends, including Ashley Judd, to open up about her experiences with the Miramax mogul, but didn’t because she thought she had “brainwashed” herself “into thinking that it was over” and that she “survived.”

While working on Miramax’s “Frida,” for which she earned an Oscar nomination, Hayek learned her good friend Weinstein, 65, wasn’t the person she thought he was.

“I was so excited to work with him and that company. In my naïveté, I thought my dream had come true. He had validated the last 14 years of my life. He had taken a chance on me — a nobody. He had said yes,” Hayek wrote. “Little did I know it would become my turn to say no.”
