Salma Hayek Was Traumatized By Lesbian Sex Scene With Ashley Judd… That Pervy Weinstein Demanded

Ok, so for a lot of these Harvey Weinstein allegations, I’ve been wondering… when do you just walk away? If you had such a problem with what Harvey was asking you to do… why did you just not do it?

A few have accused him of forcefully assaulting them… and that’s a different matter entirely. And while in no way am I excusing Weinstein’s disgusting behavior, were women truly “forced” to subject to his perverted demands?

Salma Hayek is coming out to talk about how he manipulated her to get what he wanted… and it sheds some light into how messed up this guy really is.

According to this:

Salma Hayek says that she was harassed and propositioned by Harvey Weinstein for years, with the disgraced exec sexually harassing her for close to a decade.

In a powerful op-ed published on Wednesday in The New York Times, Hayek reveals that after years of saying no to ‘taking a shower with him,’ ‘letting him watch [her] take a shower,’ ‘letting him give [her] a massage,’ ‘letting a naked friend of his give her a massage,’ ‘letting him give [her] oral sex,’ and ‘getting naked with another woman,’ Weinstein finally found a way to corner the actress.

After jumping through countless hoops to complete work on her dream project, the Fridao Kahlo biopic Frida, Weinstein told her he would not release the picture unless there was a naked lesbian sex scene.

So he basically held her project hostage. He was committed to getting her naked one way or another. That’s really low.

Hayek had long spoken about her Frida film being the dream project she yearned to one day make in Hollywood, and did everything in her power to make that become a reality.

She stopped short however of giving into Weinstein’s demands for sex, and for that he retaliated in the harshest way possible according to Hayek.

‘When he was finally convinced that I was not going to earn the movie the way he had expected, he told me he had offered my role and my script with my years of research to another actress,’ writes Hayek.

‘In his eyes, I was not an artist. I wasn’t even a person. I was a thing: not a nobody, but a body.’

Hayek refused to back down however, and filed a ‘bad faith’ lawsuit against Weinstein, which opened the door for her to get the project back off the ground again.

So Weinstein made her life even more difficult….

Weinstein demanded she then raise $10 million, get an A-list director, rewrite the script and find four bankable stars to appear alongside her in supporting roles if she wanted to gain control of the film she had personally ushered through pre-production.

Once filming commenced, he got worse claims Hayek, who said: ‘He told me that the only thing I had going for me was my sex appeal and that there was none of that in this movie. So he told me he was going to shut down the film because no one would want to see me in that role.’

That is when he told her she needed to add the sex scene and she agreed as a way to see her film finally get into theaters.

She did what she felt like she had to do. I get it. She’s an actress… so a sex scene in a movie wouldn’t be giving HERSELF in… but Harvey still won.

‘I arrived on the set the day we were to shoot the scene that I believed would save the movie,’ reveals Hayek.

‘And for the first and last time in my career, I had a nervous breakdown: My body began to shake uncontrollably, my breath was short and I began to cry and cry, unable to stop, as if I were throwing up tears.’

Hayek later notes: ‘It was not because I would be naked with another woman. It was because I would be naked with her for Harvey Weinstein. But I could not tell them then.’

She says that she eventually took a tranquilizer and made it through the scene, with filming on the project wrapping up soon after that difficult day.

And after all of that…

‘Months later, in October 2002, this film, about my hero and inspiration — this Mexican artist who never truly got acknowledged in her time with her limp and her unibrow, this film that Harvey never wanted to do, gave him a box office success that no one could have predicted, and despite his lack of support, added six Academy Award nominations to his collection, including best actress,’ writes Hayek.

It went on to win two Oscars.

Honestly… I’m team Salma on this one. It wasn’t the sex scene that she had a problem with… it was doing it FOR Weinstein. It was the fact that despite fighting him off for years, he still always managed to be one step ahead of her.

This guy is a ruthless a-hole and a complete pig.

Question: was Ashley Judd just totally cool with it? Interesting how she keeps popping up in every Harvey Weinstein story…
