Actress Alice Evans has alleged that Harvey Weinstein propositioned her at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, and claimed that her refusal affected both her and her then-boyfriend Ioan Gruffudd's film careers.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Evans said that on their first meeting, Weinstein invited her to join him in the bathroom of his hotel. After she declined, he reportedly said, 'Let's hope it all works out for your boyfriend.'
Evans, who later married Gruffudd, claimed that neither she nor Gruffudd were ever considered for Weinstein films again. She described feeling that 'somehow I will be made to pay' for rejecting the proposition.
The actress expressed support for the women who have spoken out against Weinstein, saying she hopes the days of covering up 'immoralities' are over. A representative for Weinstein has been approached for comment.
