Weinstein scandal keeps growing

While Westport police continue to say they have not had any complaints of sexual assault against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, another woman has come forward to accuse him of impropriety at one of his Westport homes.

Actor, comedian and writer Sarah Ann Masse went public Wednesday to say her nanny agency referred her to Weinstein in 2008 for a part-time position to care for his three children from his first marriage.

When she rang the bell of one of his Westport homes, she was shocked to see him in nothing but boxer shorts and an undershirt when he answered the door.

Masse said she remained calm as he led her to a couch and sat down on a couch across from her and went ahead with standard interview questions.

At one point, Masse said, two of the children wandered into the room and “he screamed at them to leave.” He then asked whether she felt it was a conflict to be his nanny while pursuing an acting career and that he smirked when he asked whether she would “flirt” with his friends to get ahead.

When the interview was finished, Masse said, Weinstein hugged her tight and said, “I love you.” About a week later, she was told by a Weinstein assistant she didn’t get the job because she was an actor.

Masse first told her story Wednesday to “Variety,” saying she was in part inspired by the bravery of other women who had come forward.

When informed of Masse’s claim and asked if Masse or anyone else has filed or contacted Westport police accusing Weinstein of any type of sexual complaint, Lt. Jillian Cabana, the department’s detective commander, replied in an email Thursday night “we have received no such reports.”

As of this week, more than a dozen women shared stories alleging the Hollywood movie producer sexually harassed or sexually assaulted them.

Among the accusations against Weinstein are he forced women to massage him and watch him naked. Weinstein offered to advance their careers in exchange for sexual favors, sources said.

The New York Times reported Tuesday Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and other actresses say Weinstein harassed them.

New York Police detectives said they were reviewing files to see if any women previously reported Weinstein to the department.

So far, no filed complaints have been found, NYPD spokesman Peter Donald said Thursday, other than one well-known case that prompted an investigation in 2015.

In Westport, where Weinstein owns several homes, Cabana has repeatedly said the Westport Police have received no complaints of sexual assault against the Oscarwinning former studio executive.
