‘Boardwalk Empire’ actress Paz de la Huerta accuses Weinstein of rape
‘He pushed me onto the bed and his pants were down and he lifted up my skirt. I felt afraid … It wasn’t consensual’
Actress Paz de la Huerta has accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her twice in 2010, joining dozens of women who have levelled sexual assault allegations against the disgraced Hollywood mogul.
The 33-year-old, known for her role in hit TV series Boardwalk Empire, described the alleged assaults, which police are investigating, to Vanity Fair magazine.
The first occurred when Weinstein demanded to come inside De la Huerta’s apartment after driving her home, she said.
“He pushed me onto the bed and his pants were down and he lifted up my skirt. I felt afraid … It wasn’t consensual,” she told the magazine.
De la Huerta said the second assault occurred about a month later when Weinstein showed up at her building despite her having asked him to leave her alone, and suggested talking about it in her apartment.
