Jennifer Lawrence’s Name Invoked in New Lawsuit Against Harvey Weinstein

A new lawsuit alleges that a female performer, identified as Jane Doe, was subjected to disturbing behavior by Harvey Weinstein, with the disgraced producer reportedly claiming, “I slept with Jennifer Lawrence,” during a s**ual assault incident.

The actress asserts that she encountered Weinstein at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and visited his hotel room the following day to discuss potential acting opportunities.

While she was using the restroom, Weinstein reportedly intruded, exposed himself, and made lewd comments, ultimately ejaculating onto her skirt against her wishes.

Following this incident, Weinstein purportedly offered her tickets to premieres and made introductions at events, where he allegedly continued his inappropriate behavior.

The actress recalls an instance where Weinstein forcibly engaged her in a s**ual act in his office while mentioning Jennifer Lawrence's success in the film industry.

Subsequently, during a dinner meeting at Tribeca Grill, Weinstein allegedly escalated his advances, leading to another distressing encounter where he performed oral s** on the woman without her consent.

Despite her protests, Weinstein persisted and implied that he held the key to her acting aspirations, referring to his alleged encounter with Jennifer Lawrence.

In response to the actress's confrontation about his misconduct, Weinstein dismissed her concerns, insinuating that her resistance was unwarranted since he did not engage in intercourse with her.

He proceeded to threaten her professional prospects and continued his inappropriate behavior during subsequent encounters, according to the lawsuit.

Regarding these allegations, Jennifer Lawrence, through her representative, expressed empathy for the women who have suffered at the hands of Weinstein, emphasizing that she had maintained a strictly professional association with him.

The rep for Weinstein refuted the claims made in the lawsuit, denouncing them as a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation without factual basis.

Weinstein's representative asserted that the lawsuit was orchestrated to besmirch his client's image without affording him the opportunity to address the allegations properly.

Emphasizing that the accusations lack credibility, the representative highlighted Weinstein's respectful rapport with Jennifer Lawrence and condemned the lawsuit as a sensationalized effort to defame him.
