Michelle Yeoh would unleash ‘years of martial arts training’ if Weinstein made sex advances
‘Any man who treats women with such disrespect and contempt should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law’
Actress Michelle Yeoh said Tuesday that she was aware of Harvey Weinstein’s reputation and would have unleashed “years of martial arts training” on the fallen Hollywood mogul had he ever tried to sexually harass her.
In a statement to Associated Press, the Malaysian star added to the chorus of female voices speaking out about the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Weinstein, who produced or distributed many of Yeoh’s films and TV shows.
“Any man who treats women with such disrespect and contempt should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” said Yeoh, who stars in the new TV series Star Trek: Discovery.
I wasn’t exposed to this side of him, otherwise he would have experienced the full effect of years of martial arts training
“I knew he was a bully and not always honourable. I wasn’t exposed to this side of him, otherwise he would have experienced the full effect of years of martial arts training,” she said, without elaborating.
