Shreds pact for payback

A FORMER assistant for Harvey Weinstein has broken her nondisclosure agreement to talk about being sexually harassed.

Zelda Perkins told the Financial Times she worked for Weinstein in Miramax’s London office, leaving in 1998, when she was 24.

Perkins said Weinstein would frequently walk around his hotel room naked and ask her to stay while he bathed.

“But this was his behavior on every occasion I was alone with him,” she told the publication. “I often had to wake him up in the hotel in the mornings and he would try to pull me into bed.”

During the Venice Film Festival in 1998, Perkins said, a co-worker came to her “white as a sheet and shaking and in a very bad emotional state” after an episode with Weinstein.

“He had a need to annihilate and humiliate men,” she said. “But with women it was all about seduction and submission.”

Ultimately, Perkins and her colleague silently split a settlement of about $330,000. Part of the terms required Miramax to set up a complaint system and Weinstein to go to therapy.

“My driving motivation was to create safeguards to protect future employees,” Perkins told Financial Times.
