Former Assistant to Harvey Weinstein Says He Was a 'Master Manipulator'
Latest
In an interview with BBC News, Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant Zelda Perkins makes clear the reality of going up against the Hollywood mogul. It was, she says, basically impossible.
At this point, we are familiar with the alleged crimes of Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused by a truly staggering number of women of harassment and sexual assault. Perkins worked as Weinstein’s assistant in the 1990s. She quit after Weinstein allegedly assaulted another unidentified assistant, and they both attempted to bring him to justice—but were pressured to take a settlement instead.
Perkins broke the non-disclosure agreement she signed at the time to speak with journalists about Weinstein, and though many of the details shared in the interview above are known, they’re much harder to hear directly from Perkins’s mouth.
