British model and actress Cara Delevingne on Wednesday accused disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of propositioning her and attempting to kiss her after a meeting about an upcoming film.

In a statement released via her publicist, the 25-year-old alleged she had initially received an “uncomfortable call” from the producer, during which he questioned her about her sexuality.

“He said to me that If I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood,” Delevingne said.

“A year or two later,” she added, she was invited to a meeting in the lobby of a hotel with Weinstein and another director.

The Paper Towns and Suicide Squad star claimed that, as soon as they were alone, Weinstein began to “brag” about how he “made the careers” of actresses he claimed to have slept with, before inviting her to his room.

Delevingne said she initially declined, but ended up going after his assistant insisted her car had not yet arrived.
