Cara Delevingne is speaking out about her own disturbing encounter with Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault by multiple women spanning three decades. The bisexual actress and model sent a statement to reporter Yashar Ali Wednesday (she posted the statement to her personal Instagram account soon after) detailing alleged experiences involving the film executive, including shaming her sexuality and attempting to proposition her with another woman. “When I first started to work as an actress, I was working on a film and I received a call from Harvey Weinstein asking if I had slept with any of the women I was seen out with in the media,” Delevingne, 25, wrote in the statement shared on Twitter. “It was a very odd and uncomfortable call. I answered none of this questions and hurried off the phone, but before I hung up, he said to me that if I was gay or decided to be with a woman especially in public that I’d never get the role of a straight woman or make it as an actress in Hollywood.”(Delevingne has been public about her sexuality since at least 2015.)
