Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein’s legal troubles are far from over.
After being sentenced to serve 23 years in prison for rape and a criminal sex act, the disgraced film producer is facing another legal battle.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Weinstein presented a movie role to an unnamed actress, then threatened to ruin her career if she didn’t have sex with him.
According to the lawsuit, the woman met Weinstein in 2014 at an event in Los Angeles in which Weinstein told her “I run Hollywood,” before suggesting they should meet-up later.
The woman claims she went to meet Weinstein in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, and was told to come up to his room.
The documents also states the woman went to Weinstein’s room for what she thought was a business meeting, Weinstein was wearing his bathrobe and threatened to blackball her from Hollywood if she didn’t have sex with him.
She says she felt she had no choice but to let Weinstein have his way with her. Weinstein demanded she call him “King” during sex.
The woman says she fell in a state of depression, which caused a mental breakdown and lead to her losing her hair.
The woman is suing Weinstein for damages from their alleged encounter.
In the wake of the lawsuit, Weinstein’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, told TMZ, “We are reviewing the allegations and will reserve further comment until we learn more.”
