Recorded in secret

An edited transcript of a conversation between Harvey Weinstein, above, and model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, below. He tried several times to get her into his hotel room. The night before he had fondled her breasts, so she covertly recorded their next encounter:

HARVEY WEINSTEIN: I won’t do a thing.

AMBRA GUTIERREZ: I don’t want to be touched.

HW: I won’t do a thing, please. I swear I won’t. Just sit with me. Don’t embarrass me in the hotel. I’m here all the time. Sit with me, I promise . . .

AG: I know, but I don’t want to.

HW: Please sit there. Please. One minute, I ask you.

AG: No, I can’t.

HW: Go to the bathroom.

AG: Please, I don’t want to do something I don’t want to.

HW: Go to the bathroom . . . Hey, come here. Listen to me . . . I’m not going to do anything, you’ll never see me again after this. OK? That’s it. If you don’t – if you embarrass me in this hotel where I’m staying at.

AG: I’m not embarrassing you. I don’t feel comfortable.

HW: Honey, don’t have a fight with me in the hallway. Please, I am not gonna do anything. I swear on my children. Please come in. On everything. I’m a famous guy.

AG: I am feeling very uncomfortable right now.

HW: Please come in now and one minute and if you want to leave when the guy comes with my jacket you can go.

AG: Why yesterday you touch my breast?

HW: Oh please, I’m sorry, just come on in. I’m used to that. Come on, please.

AG: You’re used to that?

HW: Yes, come in.

AG: No, but I’m not used to that.

HW: I won’t do it again, come on, sit here. Sit here for a minute, please?

AG: No, I don’t want to.

HW: I will never do another thing to you. Five minutes. Don’t ruin your friendship with me for five minutes.
