Harvey Weinstein’s former driver who previously alleged the serial sex abuser beat him up after his prostitutes failed to show, has come forward with more shocking new claims.
Mickael Chemloul, Weinstein’s chauffeur in Cannes, France from 2008 to 2013, alleged the Hollywood studio executive once brought a ‘good-looking girl, around 25 to 30’ back to his car to have sex when she begged him: please ‘don’t hurt me’.
It seems the incident happened after Weinstein and the unidentified woman departed a billionaire’s yacht party at some point within the time frame, Chemloul revealed in an interview with The Sun.
Weinstein’s pregnant wife at the time, Georgina Chapman, had been resting inside the couple’s room at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Chemloul nearby.
Harvey Weinstein’s ex-chauffeur Mickael Chemloul said the studio head once brought a woman in his car for sex when he heard her say: ‘don’t hurt me’
‘I turned and saw her with her head in his lap and him pulling her hair (and) I knew Georgina decided to stay in her room and miss the party because she was feeling tired.’
Weinstein’s ex-employee said he then ordered him to transport the pair back to the same hotel – where they would order a separate room.
‘I said to Harvey, ‘Are you sure?’ He replied, ‘Just drive to the f****** Cap’,’ Chemloul told the newspaper.

‘When we arrived, Harvey got out with the girl and headed for another room. He was with her until 5am and left her there to go back to Georgina.’
The driver recalled feeling ‘sickened’ by Weinstein several times
Chemloul alleged Chapman called him around 4:30 that morning inquiring about Weinstein’s whereabouts when she had not heard from him in some time.
‘I was in an awkward spot … All I could think of was he had gone for a meeting with some business friends. I felt forced to lie,’ Chemloul said.
The driver recalled feeling ‘sickened’ by Weinstein when he finally turned up – appearing disgruntled and sweaty with his shirt undone.
He also recalled another incident while at model Naomi Campbell’s birthday party in the hotel when Weinstein nearly stopped breathing after his gastric band failed.
‘It appeared he had eaten so much from the buffet that it was too much for the sort of gastric band he had fitted.’
He said guests swarmed around the ill producer before one witness finally phoned a surgeon nearby.
‘When we arrived, Harvey got out with the girl and headed for another room. He was with her until 5am and left her there to go back to Georgina’
‘The surgeon did a manipulation that allowed Harvey’s food to go down, so he could breathe more easily. He told me Harvey would have died within 30 minutes if he had not intervened,’ he said.
The distressing incidents were just a couple of many Chemloul, the author of ‘The Last Monster of Hollywood’, opened up publicly about.
During the alleged beat down in 2013 that left Chemloul injured and out of work for several days, the ex-driver said for an unforseen reason his prostitutes had dumped him – when he took out his rage on him, he shared with the Hollywood Reporter.

‘He went crazy and hit me,’ he explained. ‘At that moment, there was no question I would ever work for him again.’
A year later, Chemloul reportedly tried to file a lawsuit against his former boss – but claims a local prosecutor dropped the charges, despite his medical records showing proof the assault.
‘It was so stressful working for him – I was taking him to parties and I know he was going to orgies as well but I had to keep quiet,’ he told The Sun.
Chemloul recalled other disturbing incidents he witnessed of Weinstein forcing himself on young and impressionable women.
‘It was so stressful working for him – I was taking him to parties and I know he was going to orgies as well but I had to keep quiet,’ Chemloul said
‘I have seen him attend three dinners in one night and still go later to the villas well known for their orgies with police outside to protect the guests.
‘Harvey gets so excited in the presence of women that he trembles, he shakes, it’s as if he is having an orgasm.’
Chemloul, now 56, finally quit his chauffeur job under Weinstein following the alleged beat down and the European prostitute dispute.
‘He attacked me violently as I was trying to keep the car on the road. I stopped the car and told me I would never work for him again,’ he recalled of the event.
‘But it still wasn’t over for him … His last words he screamed as he went into the hotel were, ‘Go and find those bitches.’
