Uma Thurman Reveals Harvey Weinstein Assaulted Her

Source: Variety

After several months of saying she would reveal her sexual harasser, “Kill Bill” star Uma Thurman has detailed how Harvey Weinstein forced himself in a London hotel. She also describes how working with Quentin Tarantino on “Kill Bill” extracted its own form of non-sexual abuse that left her injured and irate.

In a New York Times article by Maureen Dowd, Thurman also says she holds her CAA agents responsible. Thurman tells how, after the success of “Pulp Fiction,” “the bathrobe came out” when Weinstein asked her to meet him at his Paris hotel and then led her to the steam room, which she quickly exited.

Not long after, she met him at the Savoy Hotel in London, where she alleges, “He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me.”

Thurman returned to the hotel soon after and threatened to expose what he had done, but instead Weinstein said he would derail her career, she recounted, leaving her shaken and upset.
