A former personal assistant for Harvey Weinstein claims she was sexually harassed for almost two years.

Sandeep Rehal, who quit in February 2015, is filing a federal lawsuit in New York against Weinstein and his company, alleging gender discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation.

Rehal claims that she was forced to buy erectile dysfunction medication for Weinstein and “play maid to his sexual encounters.”

She also claims she was sexually harassed during her time with Weinstein, but said she was worried about coming forward with her allegations until dozens of other women made similar claims.

“No one should have to endure what Ms. Rehal experienced at the hands of Harvey Weinstein,” Genie Harrison, Rehal’s lawyer, said.

Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpi Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault Weinstein has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by more than 100 women.

He is currently under investigation by NYPD, LAPD, Scotland Yard and Beverly Hills Police.

“We look forward to holding Harvey Weinstein, the Weinstein Company and all other responsible parties, accountable for the trauma and harm inflicted on Ms. Rehal,” Harrison said.

Any personal assistant to him should sue for PTSD and visual assault. I can’t even imagine.

Why even have elections and a legislative process?????

Ol’ Harvey must feel like he has been staked out over a fire ant hill.

All of his past dalliances coming back to take a little bite out of him.

But it is also a just fate for the old Lecher.

If there is justice he will die penniless and gone mad with syphilis.

Keep in mind the Clintons established the cultural atmosphere that sexual abuse was OK.

Hillary demeaned, debased and marginalized any woman who dared accuse her husband.

These women according to Hillary were bimbos, trailer trash, tramps, whores, and loony tunes.

It’s understandable why women did not speak out. Thankfully its a new day.
