The details of what I have learned was not unique to me are out there now – the office tour that became an occasion to trap me in an empty meeting room, the begging for a massage, his hands on my shoulders as I attempted to beat a retreat.

Then before I knew it, he started trying to pull my clothes off and pin me down and I just kept saying ‘no, no, no’. But he was really forceful. I remember him pulling at my trousers and stuff and looming over me.

Weinstein had invited Campbell to his hotel room to discuss freelance script-editing opportunities. Source: The Times
I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times, and he always came back at me with some new ask. It was all this bargaining, this coercive bargaining. How do I get out of the room as fast as possible without alienating Harvey Weinstein?Ashley Judd

Judd was told she and Weinstein were meeting to discuss her career, but when she arrived he greeted her in a bathrobe and asked to give her a massage. Source: The New York Times
The next thing I know, he’s pressing against me and pulling off my sweater. I tried to negotiate the situation over the years, and negotiate with myself and pretend it kind of never happened. I wish I’d had someone to talk to, to say, ‘How do you deal with this?’Judith Godrèche

What happened to me, even though it was uncomfortable, was much more of a transactional situation. He wanted to barter sex for movie roles. In other cases, he was forcing himself on them. It's so shocking that he got away with it for as long as he did.Marisa Coughlan

He said, 'Well, you can’t leave until you kiss me.' He literally would not let me leave. I said fine and kissed him on the lips. He sort of held my head and made me kiss him, and then he’s like, 'OK, you can go now. That’s all I wanted. Just do what I say and you can get your way.'Melissa Sagemiller

Harvey asked me to take a walk down to the water, I walked down with him and he stopped and made some suggestive comment, a gesture, I just laughed it off, I was genuinely shocked. I remember thinking, ‘It’s got to be a joke.’ I said something like, ‘Oh come on mate?! It’d be like kissing my dad! Let’s go get a drink, get back to the others.’ I was never in any other Miramax filmLena Headey

Masse was interviewing for a position as a nanny for Weinstein. Source: Variety
I sat there waiting [for him] alone with a heavy heart because I didn’t know what the new movie would be like. Everything suddenly turned dark when I saw Mr. Harvey Weinstein standing before me with only a towel around his waist, smiling.Vu Thu Phuong

He immediately exposed himself and began pleasuring himself, and I just stood there dumbfounded. But more than the disgusting act itself, which of course was gross, the demeaning part of it all – that just 20 minutes earlier, he was having this great conversation with me, and I felt so great and flattered by it.Lauren Sivan
Age 27 Location: Cafe Socialista in Manhattan
After having dinner with Sivan and several others, Weinstein asked to give Sivan a tour of the restuarant's kitchen, where he allegedly cornered her in the vestibule and ejaculated into a potted plant. Source: NBC News
