IVANA Lowell, who worked for Harvey

Weinstein at Miramax Books, exposed him as a pervert seven years ago in her memoir, “Why Not Say What Happened?”

The British aristocrat described in her book how Harvey (inset) once chased her around a desk and showed up at her apartment one night unannounce­d.

“When my book was first published, Harvey called me up, screaming, and said that I made him look like a pervert. I replied ‘Yes, so?’ ” Ivana posted yesterday on Facebook. “He threatened to sue me, and then both Harvey and [younger brother] Bob called me a liar.” Lowell had dated Bob Weinstein and referred to him in the book as “the good-looking brother.” In the memoir, Lowell describes how Harvey arrived at her apartment while she was hanging out with a friend. He barged in and asked for a massage: “The scene was comical: Harvey lying spread- eagle, dwarfing the bed like Gulliver pinned down by midgets, and [a friend] and I laughing nervously, still edging as far away as possible.”

The mogul left disappoint­ed, leaving the two women to speculate about whether he had bribed Lowell’s doorman in order to be sent up unannounce­d.

On Wednesday, Lowell admitted, “I left out a lot of sordid details because I still considered Bob a friend and I didn’t realize the extent and consequenc­es of Harvey’s sickening ways. This whole thing has left me reeling.”
