Heather Kerr joins list of accusers

A former actress said Weinstein ruined her career ambition after he exposed himself to her during a 1989 business meeting in his office. Heather Kerr said he told her to sit on the couch and repeated saying she needed to be “good” if she wanted to succeed.

He then exposed himself and forced her to touch him, she said. Kerr said she backed away, left the room and hurried out of the building. After some theatre work, she quit acting.

“I felt so powerless,” she tearfully recalled. “I didn’t think anyone would believe me. I was nobody. Why would they?”

Kerr, whose acting credits in the 1980s include the TV shows The Facts of Life and Mama’s Family, spoke at a news conference with attorney Gloria Allred.

More than 40 women have accused Weinstein, 65, of harassment or abuse.
