Salma Hayek says Weinstein forced her to perform lesbian sex scene, turning ‘Frida’ set into a nightmare
In a harrowing account, Hayek says ‘monster’ Weinstein sexually harassed her relentlessly, threatened to kill her and made a misery of her Oscar-winning passion project ‘Frida’

In one of the most vivid accounts yet of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged abuse and harassment, Salma Hayek says the disgraced movie mogul turned the making of her 2002 passion project, the Frida Kahlo biopic Frida, into a nightmare after the actress refused Weinstein’s relentless advances.
“For years, he was my monster,” Hayek wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday by The New York Times.
Her refusals – of massages, showers and sex – enraged him, she wrote. “I don’t think he hated anything more than the word ‘no,’” wrote Hayek.

My body wouldn’t stop crying and convulsing. It was not because I would be naked with another woman. It was because I would be naked with her for Harvey Weinstein
Hayek said he insisted on rewrites, more financing and, most heinously to her, forced her to perform a lesbian sex scene with full frontal nudity. He even threatened to kill her, she said.
