Salma Hayek accuses Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment: He's 'my monster too' Suzy Byrne 5 hours ago Reactions Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email VIDEO: Notable public figures accused of harassment since Weinstein's fall Scroll back up to restore default view. Salma Hayek has come forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.

The Oscar-nominated Mexican actress, whose films include Frida and Traffic, went public with her allegations on Wednesday, over two months after the movie honcho was first publicly accused of sexual misconduct in a New York Times piece. She shared her first-person story with the same publication in an op-ed titled “Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too...."

....Now 51, Hayek says that when she was victimized — after Weinstein agreed to produce 2002’s Frida via his company Miramax — it was a time when “it was unimaginable for a Mexican actress to aspire to a place in Hollywood. And even though I had proven them wrong, I was still a nobody.”

What a disgusting pig.

I used to think sje was smoking hot, then I found out she married a 94 year old billionaire.......she’s shallow.

Actually, her billionaire husband is 55 yrs old, pretty close to her age (51). She may be shallow (he may be shallow too) but I don’t really know.

“He asked everyone in the room to step out except for me. He told me that the only thing I had going for me was my sex appeal and that there was none of that in this movie ["Frida"]. So he told me he was going to shut down the film because no one would want to see me in that role.”

Well, he has some points....

...it was a time when “it was unimaginable for a Mexican actress to aspire to a place in Hollywood. And even though I had proven them wrong, I was still a nobody.”

Huh? This part doesn't ring true. Salma Hayek is so beautiful it would not have mattered if she were from Mars. And already had a number of credits before Frida. She's overplaying the victim card, but as for the rest of her allegations against Weinstein, no one should have to put up with that.

She’s not “Mexican”, she’s Lebanese.

I had a lab partner in college who was well endowed and one day wore a really low cut V neck shirt to the lab. I told her up front that if she catches me staring at her to smack me up side the head. It was difficult, but she never smacked me.

Eh? I would have told her that if she catches me staring at her SHE ONLY HAS HERSELF TO BLAME. Then, the next day, I would have worn tight sweat pants with a salami stuffed therein and would have reminded her that MY EYES ARE UP HERE. Ah, college.

“All I knew of Harvey at the time was that he had a remarkable intellect, he was a loyal friend, and a family man.”

Yeah, quite the family man.

“... she sure does have parts”.

She is very pretty but the “parts” come from a really good plastic surgeon.

Such a lovely piece of trash.

[PAR35]

How does THAT happen?

Probably the same way she got the movie roles.

YAWN

[dfwgator]

Parts is parts.

Omg, she did porn. And now she is another wounded flower?

[DesertRhino]

“She’s not “Mexican”, she’s Lebanese.”

I thought she was heterosexual...but you say she’s Lebanese?

[Blood of Tyrants]

She was embarrassed by my comment and tried to cover up.

The have a couple of kids. I think they’re a pretty legitimate couple, though a large wallet and oh well the picture speaks for itself doesn’t hurt.

[redangus]

Wrong not in her case.
