Yahoo News Blade Runner's Sean Young alleges Weinstein harassment
The following article contains discussion of sexual misconduct that some readers may find distressing.
Blade Runner actress Sean Young is the latest Hollywood star to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
The Hollywood producer is currently being investigated for historic sexual misconduct in London, Los Angeles and New York, and has also been accused of harassment by Lupita Nyong'o, Lysette Anthony, Rose McGowan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Rose McGowan, Cara Delevingne, Ashley Judd and several other women.
Young's own story has been told on the Dudley and Bob with Matt Show podcast. In that interview, she accused Weinstein of "pulling his you-know-what out of his pants" when she was working on one of his films in the 1990s.
"My basic response was, 'You know, Harvey, I really don't think you should be pulling that thing out, it's not very pretty'," Young recalled. "And then leaving. And then never having another meeting with that guy again because it was like, 'What on earth?'"
Like several of the other actresses who've come forward in recent weeks, Young said that she felt pressure to keep quiet about her alleged encounter with Weinstein out of fear of career implications.
"The minute you actually stand up for yourself in Hollywood, you're the crazy one," she insisted.
Weinstein's attorneys continue to deny all allegations of non-consensual sex.
