A new woman is coming out with rape accusations against Harvey Weinstein….and these might be a new low for him.
If true, this is absolutely deplorable… and so so so so gross.
A new accuser has come forward to allege that Harvey Weinstein forced oral sex on her while she was on her period.
The woman — named Mimi — appeared next to her attorney, Gloria Allred, Tuesday at a press conference in NYC … where she told her harrowing story.
She says she first met Weinstein in 2004 and again in 2006, and over the course of several meetings — where she claims his sexual advances became increasingly worse.
Mimi explains she was invited to his house in SoHo, and that once there he took her into a bedroom and forced himself upon her. In an effort to make him stop, Mimi says she told him she was on her period … but Weinstein continued, removing her tampon.
Mimi claims once Weinstein finished, he asked, “Don’t you feel we are so much closer to each other now?” to which a sobbing Mimi replied, “No.”
The story is disturbing, and like Gloria promised … a “new low” for Weinstein. She says Mimi hasn’t gone to cops yet, but Gloria says she might in order to help with other investigations.
This is yet another of more than 50 women who’ve accused Weinstein of harassment, assault or rape.

Absolutely disgusting.
Obviously, at this point there is no way of knowing which of the OVER FIFTY accusations against Weinstein are true… but the numbers add up…. and there’s no denying this man is a pig.
In fact, pig is too good for him. He’s lower than swine.
Daily Mail provides a more detailed account:
She tried to shoot down Weinstein’s repeated sexual advances by telling him she was menstruating, but he eventually overpowered her and shoved her onto a bed in his child’s bedroom.
‘He wouldn’t take no for an answer and backed me into a room which was not lit, but looked like a kids’ bedroom with kids’ drawings on the walls,’ said Haleyi.
‘He held me down on the bed, I tried to get him off me and kept asking him to stop but it was impossible. He was extremely persistent and physically overpowering.’
At that point Weinstein ripped out her tampon said Haleyi, who had begun to openly weep.
‘He then orally forced himself on me while I was on my period. I was mortified. I was in disbelief,’ said Haleyi, accompanied by her attorney Gloria Allred.
‘I would not have wanted anyone to do that to me even if that person had been my romantic partner.’
Haleyi claims that she first met Weinstein at the European premiere of ‘The Aviator,’ then bumped into him again in 2006 while she was at the Cannes Film Festival.
She said that she approached the Hollywood heavyweight at that time about doing some work on one of his sets, and he urged her to come meet him at his hotel so they could discuss the matter.
When she arrived at the Hotel du-Cap Eden Roc she said that she was ushered into Weinstein’s room and soon after he asked her about giving him a massage.
‘I was escorted up to Harvey’s room by an assistant who then left. After a few minutes of greetings and normal conversation Harvey suddenly asked me if I’d give him a massage,’ said Haleyi.
‘I said “no sorry I’m not a masseuse” and suggested he contact hotel reception with his request. He kept asking about massages and I felt the meeting was going nowhere so I left.’
She added: ‘By that time I was crying as I felt completely humiliated and stupid for having been excited about meeting with him.’
I don’t understand why she would agree to meet up with him again after the first incident… but she did. She tries to explain herself. It really adds up to she knew turning him down would end her career.
