Salma Hayek is now claiming that Harvey Weinstein threatened to kill her and forced Hayek to shoot a full-frontal scene. The media has sort of forgotten about what a monster Harvey Weinstein is, as they obsessed over Roy Moore. Now that he’s out of the picture, the focus goes back to all the liberal progressive Democrat perverts who lecture everyone about women’s right. I believe Salma Hayek her for two reasons.

Number One: career. Weinstein had all the leverage over Salma Hayek and could have made or broke her career. She really has no reason to lie about something this serious.
Number two: Harvey Weinstein is a monster. What’s been revealed about him since the sexual harassment stories finally broke (that NBC tried to bury) has been chilling. Weinstein is not only a sex deranged lunatic, he also had all the power and money. Weinstein basically is Hollywood. If there is a major movie to be released, no matter how mediocre, it would go through one of Weinstein’s production companies.
“I will kill you, don’t think I can’t,” Hayek recalls Weinstein saying to her when she refused one of his various alleged demands.
Though the experience took a toll on her, Hayek kept the allegations to herself for years. Even now, after scores of women have made similar claims about Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct—to the point that the once-powerful producer has been driven out of Hollywood—Hayek believed that no one would be interested in hearing her story.
“I felt that by now nobody would care about my pain—maybe this was an effect of the many times I was told, especially by Harvey, that I was nobody,” she writes.
While making Frida for Miramax, Weinstein became her “monster,” Hayek writes. She claims she frequently had to reject his sexual propositions, which included Weinstein asking her to take a shower with him or letting him watch her shower, asking to give her a massage, asking her to let a naked friend of his give her a massage, asking her for oral sex, and asking her to get naked with another woman.
And not all of his alleged demands were overtly sexual in nature. There was one night, Hayek claims, when Weinstein called her in the middle of the night demanding she fire her agent. On another occasion, Hayek writes, Weinstein began “physically dragging me out of the opening gala of the Venice Film Festival, which was in honor of Frida, so I could hang out at his private party with him.”
Hayek claims that Weinstein also continually tossed hurdles in Hayek’s way as she struggled to get Frida—a film she produced and starred in—made. Eventually, Hayek says, she had to hire lawyers to pursue a “bad faith” case against Weinstein to move forward with the film. In order “to clear himself legally, as I understood it,” Hayek writes, Weinstein then gave her a fresh list of demands, requiring her to get the script re-written (for free), find $10 million for financing, and enlist a star director as well as a star supporting cast. Hayek ultimately delivered, but Weinstein’s demands did not cease, she alleges.
