Headey tale of mogul’s sleaze

- Rachel DeSantis

“GAME OF THRONES” actress Lena Headey says Harvey Weinstein tried to lure her up to his hotel room but was thwarted by a faulty key card.

Headey (photo inset), 44, joined the growing list of famous names to accuse the disgraced movie mogul of sexual harassment.

The British actress said Tuesday she rebuffed Weinstein’s first advances at the Venice Film Festival in 2005.

Years later, at a breakfast with Weinstein, she agreed to review a script in his hotel suite.

“I said to Harvey, ‘I’m not interested in anything other than work. Please don’t think I got in here with you for any other reason.’ ”

She said Weinstein got angry when his key card didn’t work, and grabbed her arm to lead her out. “He paid for my car and whispered in my ear, ‘Don’t tell anyone about this .’ I got into my car and I cried.”
