Weinstein rape claim

-

Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra is alleging she was raped by Harvey Weinstein after he barged his way into her apartment in the 1990s. Daryl Hannah, best known for her starring roles in films Blade Runner and Splash is also speaking out, saying the movie mogul once tried to force his way into her hotel room. The actresses were quoted this week in The New Yorker. Sciorra told the magazine that Weinstein had violently raped her in the early 1990s and, over the next several years, sexually harassed her repeatedly. She said he ‘‘shoved’’ her onto her bed and they had nonconsens­ual sexual intercours­e. Hannah recalled fleeing her hotel room as Weinstein demanded to be let in.
