The Harvey Weinstein story is getting uglier by the day. But we swear to tell you, not to fiddle in the filth but to lend a voice to every woman who has been abused and exploited at the hands of the media mogul.
After harrowing stories of Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan‘s close escape, another leading lady of Showbiz has opened up about her share of abuse by Harvey Weinstein and it is alarming, to the say least.
GoT star, Lena Headey recently took to Twitter and penned a thread about where and how Harvey Weinstein harassed her and it’s a must-read.
Read her entire thread here.
1. It all began when…

“Oh, come on mate? It’d be like kissing my dad.”
It happened while she was promoting The Brothers Grimm which was distributed by Weinstein’s then-company Miramax.
2. But the reality was far from ideal!

4. “Don’t tell anyone about this.”

Not just that. She even retweeted a tweet that thanked her for calling out director, Terry Gilliam in her rant. The tweet read:
Ewww! Yuck! So sorry that you had that experience and thank you for outing Terry Gilliam as a really really huge asshole.

As dismaying as it is, we are sure some Lena’s voice will urge and inspire several other women, brave women, who have survived harassment and are here to tell the tale. More power to them and more power to you, Lena!
