Annabella Sciorra alleges Harvey Weinstein raped her, joining dozens making accusations

Annabella Sciorra

The actress whose films include “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle” and who was nominated for an Emmy for her role in the hit TV show, “The Sopranos,” told The New Yorker that she was raped by Weinstein in the early 1990s and was sexually harassed by him for several years after that.

Sciorra alleges that one night after a dinner event in New York, Weinstein offered to drop her off at her apartment and then a while later, when she was in her nightgown, he barged into her place and violently raped her. For months afterward, Sciorra said she told no one and never went to police. “Like most of these women, I was so ashamed of what happened,” she said. The actress said she felt she was retaliated against after the alleged assault. “I just kept getting this pushback of ‘We heard you were difficult; we heard this or that.’ I think that that was the Harvey machine,” she said.

just for the record, I’d like to point out that Harvey has NEVER raped or sexually harassed me. I repeat: Harvey has NEVER raped or sexually harassed me.

A hooker pretending to be a young innocent would have been a better choice for Weinstein... He's got enough money - and certainly the skills to train a hooker to ACT like a defenseless victim.

Time for men to get real... hurting the innocent is NOT an option. I can assure you - if Weinstein could go back in time - knowing what he knows now - he would hire the hookers. Same for Mark Halperin, Bill O'Reilly and Eric Bolling.

On the lighter brighter side hiring hookers also takes power AWAY from women who sleep their way to the top... and yeah that goes on too. (Best choice for men and women is to be in a faithful marriage... but for the men listed above that appears not to have been an option)

Isn’t there always some well-known madam in Hollywood who provides the type of escorts and services you describe to the top-echelon men in show business? Harvey probably knows all about such people, but he seems to want to engage in real rape and assault. He got away with it for a long time.

>> I think if you actually read the article <<

You gotta be kidding. Reading the articles is seriously discouraged around here.

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid the drooling onanistic attentions of Swinestein, too. But then I’m a guy, and not Hollyweird material.

Yes, true, but every once in a while I feel tempted to make that radical suggestion.
