Via Twitter, she said ‘deeply upsetting. My heart goes out to @umathurman and all the women who have bravely told their stories about this awful predator.’
The mutli-talented Bette Midler, 72, also immediately tweeted a very forceful ‘HERE IS UMA THURMAN’S TESTIMONY’ to her 1.33 million followers.
XXX star Asia Argento, 42, also posted a message of support, saying ‘I love you, Uma Thurman,’ before also adding a link to the story.
Of course Asia has maintained she had her own run in with the former entertainment industry tycoon.

Even the Women’s March official Twitter account issued a statement:’ Uma Thurman, thank you for your courage. Thank you for sharing your story.’
Perhaps the most thoughtful response came from West World star Evan Rachel Wood, 30.
Her response was quite a bit longer and somewhat introspective as well.
‘Love you Uma. You have always been an inspiration to me,’ she started.

‘Thank you for your brutal honesty. Not just about Harvey but about the risks we sometimes take with our lives.’
The latter part of her message was of course also referring to Uma revealing that Quentin Tarantino, a long-time Weinstein collaborator, was also abusive to her on the set of Kill Bill.
More specifically, Uma alleges in the piece that Tarantino made her drive an unsafe vehicle on set, which eventually crashed, injuring her.
In an article in The New York Times on Saturday, Thurman describes several incidents in which Weinstein forced himself on her in a London hotel room on one occasion and that he led her into a steam room in Paris in another incident but backed away when she asked him what he was doing.

She says the most aggressive encounter, which took place at London’s Savoy Hotel some time between 1994 and 2002, felt like ‘a bat to the head’.
‘It was such a bat to the head. He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me.
‘He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. But he didn’t actually put his back into it and force me.
Weinstein, through his representative, described the Paris incident as a ‘flirtatious exchange’ and admits ‘making a pass at her’ in London afterwards but says it was not violent or even physical.
He has threatened legal action against the actress who he claims has ’embellished’ the truth.
