Salma Hayek Alleges Threats of Violence from Harvey Weinstein on Frida Film Set

Salma Hayek, the renowned actress, has once again spoken out against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

During an interview with Oprah, the 51-year-old actress claimed that Weinstein, 65, had threatened her with physical violence while they were working together on the film Frida, for which Hayek received an Oscar nomination.

Hayek made these shocking revelations during Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations.

She disclosed, “He told me he wanted to kill me.

He said to [‘Frida' director] Julie Taymor, ‘I am going to break the kneecaps of that c-word.'”

These statements come after her initial allegations of s**ual harassment by Weinstein during the production of the Miramax-produced Frida in 2002.

Furthermore, Salma Hayek revealed that she was contacted by The Times to participate in the first exposé about Weinstein, but she declined.

Recalling this, she explained, “[The Times] contacted me to be a part of the first story, and already by this contact, there was all this turmoil, and I started crying when they asked, and I ended up not doing it.

And then I felt ashamed that I was a coward.

I was supporting women for two decades, and then I was a coward.”

She also expressed remorse for not speaking out earlier when the information about Weinstein first emerged.

Hayek admitted, “When the information about Harvey came out, I was ashamed I didn't say anything.

But I felt like my pain was so small compared to all the other stories.”

In an op-ed for The New York Times, the mother-of-one provided a detailed account of the numerous times she resisted Weinstein's advances.

She wrote, “‘No' to opening the door to him at all hours of the night, hotel after hotel, location after location, where he would show up unexpectedly, including one location where I was doing a movie he wasn't even involved with.

‘No' to me taking a shower with him.

‘No' to letting him watch me take a shower.

‘No' to letting him give me a massage.

‘No' to letting a n^ked friend of his give me a massage.

‘No' to letting him give me oral s**.

‘No' to my getting n^ked with another woman.

‘No, no, no, no, no.'”

Hayek further claimed that when she rejected Weinstein's advances, he threatened her by saying, “I will kill you, don't think I can't.”

In December, Weinstein denied Hayek's previous allegations, stating, “All of the s**ual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate, and others who witnessed the events have a different account of what transpired.

By Mr. Weinstein's own admission, his boorish behavior following a screening of ‘Frida' was prompted by his disappointment in the cut of the movie.”

Metro reached out to Harvey Weinstein's representatives for comment but received no response.
